Yummy Cucumber Dill Salad
I love this yummy cucumber dill salad from Wholesome Yum! I actually get a lot of recipes from this awesome site. They’re all low carb, gluten free and use 10 ingredients or less! I went to a salad luncheon today and had to bring a salad to share so I chose this cucumber dill salad. It was light, refreshing and delish. I love dill but I feel like it’s one of those spices you either love or you hate, like cilantro (which I love too).

Cute Wal-Mart Clothes for Under $25
I had to run to Wal-Mart today for a few household items and as I walked by the apparel section I thought, “Hmm this stuff is pretty cute!” I tried on a bunch and ended up with a few of these cute pieces. I added some more to the collage that I found when I was browsing Wal-Mart’s website. So take a look at these cute Wal-Mart clothes for under $25!
Delish Broccoli Cheddar Soup
I’ve been really good about cooking since school started. And by really good I mean I actually cook four nights a week. Wednesdays are tough because Amelia has a tennis lesson at 6pm which is usually when we eat dinner. If we wait to eat until after, it’s 7:30 and that just doesn’t work for her blood sugar.
Home Office Design
My office! Well I guess I can say “our office” since Steve does use the secretary as his desk. This was a catch-all space for awhile before Steve’s recording studio was finished. We had our desks, random furniture, musical instruments and more in here. As soon as he was able to move all of his stuff out I got to work on the room!
Fall Fashion Faves
I admit, I have an online shopping addiction. I don’t always buy things, but my preferred method of wasting time is DEFINITELY browsing online. I have my go-to favorite stores so I decided to put together some of the cutest fall fashion faves I’ve seen in recent weeks!
About Type 1 Diabetes and the Warning Signs
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that occurs when a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. There is nothing anyone can do to prevent T1D. Presently, there is no known cure.
Neutral Master Bedroom
Well one by one I’m getting these rooms photographed for the “afters.” Here are a few of our bedroom! I must say I’m pretty addicted to surrounding myself with neutrals, love these greys and creams together with a little black and gold. I’m still undecided whether or not I’m going to add draperies to the windows behind the nightstands. I bought the rods and panels but I really like how “clean” it looks right now… so I’m letting it simmer. What do you think? (After seeing the first pic, all I can think is that I need a new bedskirt!)
Back to School After Type 1 Diagnosis
It's official, my child is not normal. 😂 We left the hospital this morning and she BEGGED to go to school. Literally begged lol. I got to talk to the amazing Nurse Tammy and I definitely feel confident about her care while at school.
How Your Diet Changes with Type 1 Diabetes
Getting set up over here. 😌 I'm not downplaying it but it's really not as bad as it looks lol. People have been asking what exactly this whole thing means for meals... not much is really changing except we have to keep track of what Amelia eats and cover the carbs with insulin. Our goal is 30g carbs per meal which is about what she eats anyway.
Type 1 Diabetes Signs & Symptoms
Update time! Amelia had a great day today! When Dr. Duncan came in at 7:30 this morning he said she was healthy enough to go home… HOWEVER, he said we had to stay a bit longer so we could 100% familiarize ourselves with all of our new responsibilities. We’re getting there! It’s a lot! 😅
Amelia's Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
Well. Today has been interesting to say the least. Amelia was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She is fine, it was caught super early, but we will definitely be experiencing a new normal. Big thanks go out to my friend Kristi who called me late last night when I expressed concerns about Amelia, she helped me feel at ease and told me to take her in to the doc this morning.
Noah Is Here - Vero Beach Newborn Photography
My nephew is here! I’m so excited that my brother and sister-in-law are now a family of three. The day after they came home from the hospital I hurried over to snap some lifestyle newborn photos of this cutie.
