Original List of questions:  Q & A Questions List What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced? If you have been following my blog or my IG feed, I think you already know the answer to this question. The hardest thing I have ever experienced is the birth of my son at 16 weeks gestation.  I had a later term miscarriage but was able to deliver him, hold him and say goodbye to him.  It was the worst day of my life.  I'm still dealing with it almost seven months later.  I won't get into all the details here on this post but most of my Colson related posts are below. Colson's Birth Story Dear Colson These Days For My Husband Around Here It's Been Hard It's Your Due Date It Feels Like Yesterday What's the hardest thing you have ever experienced?

Check out Shannon at Life After I Dew  for So What Wednesday. So what if: ~I bought a tub of pre-made cookie dough from my nephew and I can't stop making (and eating) them.  It's just so easy to throw them on the baking sheet and pop them in the oven. ~I have been addicted to pasta lately.  And the worst kinds.  Buttered noodles, chicken rice, spaghetti.  My poor husband gets so annoyed since he is on a whole30. ~I have news.  Big news.  News that I kind of sort of want to share and kind of sort of don't want to share.  Wanting to share almost always wins out but we shall see. ~I'm so tired of cleaning up dog hair in the house that I'm actually considering shaving all of the dogs.  I know it's getting cold out.  I would get them sweaters. ~I'm making my Christmas lists and am searching for good deals on gifts.  You can never start too early. ~I am in love with how much Ashlyn has been drawing and writing lately but I h...

Original List of questions:  Q & A Questions List What is your love language? I think we have all heard of the 5 love languages.  I took the quiz 2 years ago and I just took it again and the results have changed quite a bit.  This is my most result email result: 11 Receiving Gifts, 8 Words of Affirmation, 6 Acts of Service, 4 Quality Time, 1 Physical Touch Receiving Gifts Don't mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous – so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly. Words of Affirmation Actions don't always speak louder than words. If this is your lov...

Original List of questions:  Q & A Questions List What are your favorite foods?  Share recipes. I'm pretty simple when it comes to food.  I'm also pretty picky.  More picky than my own kids.  The list of foods I like is much smaller than the list of foods I don't like.  My husband is the complete opposite.  He will eat just about anything.  This makes for interesting meals in our house sometimes. Most of my favorite foods are really simple and remind me a lot of home. Grilled cheese dipped in applesauce:  I think I got this from my mom.  It's literally just a typical grilled cheese sandwich that I like to dip in sweetened applesauce.  My husband thinks this is gross. I can't understand why. Lebanon bologna on white bread (Italian usually) with mayo:  this is one thing I eat almost every time I visit my Mom.  It's so simple and yet it's the one thing that always reminds me of home.  Lebanon bolo...

One of my favorite people is bringing back one of my favorite blog posts! Shannon at Life After I Dew  is bringing back So What Wednesday.  I always loved posting my 'so what's' every Wednesday so I'm happy she's bringing this back! So what if: ~We have been in our new house for almost two months and we still have projects that we need to finish.  I hate having dumb little lose ends but that's the way it goes, I guess. ~I hate having my hair up so I've had it down a lot lately and that annoys me too.  It's so long right now and I desperately need a hair cut but finding the time isn't exactly easy. ~I took the Love Language test for one of my Q&A posts and I got receiving gifts as my love language.  I know that seems kind of shallow but I do love me some romantic gifts. ~My husband is not romantic at all and, therefore, does not know how to speak my love language. ~I can't stand Halloween and I can't wait for the month to end...

Original List of questions:  Q & A Questions List What are your favorite/least favorite holidays and traditions? This is probably the easiest question on the list.  My least favorite holiday, hands down, is Halloween.  Spending ridiculous amounts of money on costumes for your kids (and yourselves) just so they can scour the neighborhood for candy that will only make them act like crazy little animals.  Going to haunted houses to get the shit scared out of you or spending way too much money on crazy decorations for your own house.  Spiders and cobwebs.  None of this sounds good to me. I get the appeal of cute costumes, I really do.  I mean what's cuter than an itty bitty baby in his or her first elephant costume?  Nothing really.  But that's about the only thing I 'get' about this so-called holiday. It's just not for me. My favorite holiday......Christmas!!!  And I get how that may be a little contradictory to my Ha...
