Recently, two of my closest friends suffered strokes. One is in perfect health, always watched her weight, exercised religiously, stayed out of trouble. The other has sickle cell and has had many health crises throughout the years.
They're both under 40. They're both mothers.
It's weird when someone your age suffers a serious health problem. You see, we tend to think we're

It's rare I post two recipes in one week here but yo...this one was pretty damn good.
I made mayonnaise chicken and it was super juicy and good. I'm not really a mayonnaise person but this mixed with the parmesan cheese and other spices came out very good! Very good!
Link to the recipe here.
Now, those little things next to the chicken are not tater tots, but rather, these. Yeah, I
It's weird to think where I was 9 years ago in my life. I was single, had a great job at Johnson & Johnson, and had a blast.
Then I met him.
He came into my life, almost manic pixie dream girl-like and flipped it. He wasn't want I expected or wanted at the time, but he was what I needed.
So Bae...
Thank you for tolerating my shit over the past nine
So, yesterday I was surfing through yummly when I stumbled upon this recipe.
I never made taco soup. Tbh, I didn't know there was such a thing as taco soup. But it got my wheels turning so I decided to try it.

Now I made it with ground beef, but I feel it would be just as good vegan or vegetarian so that's partially why I'm
It's been a while since we've done a Throwback Thursday here so here's a cute then and now photo of us:
Three years ago, in our kitchen. It was rather hot so we both were in our underwear. This is one of my favorite pictures because it reminds me of how naturally happy Bear is.
Yesterday, in our parking garage. Same happy Bear with happy Mommy.
Good times.
I've been meaning to post the wonderful gifts my husband brought home from Ukraine but well, life happens. Never fear, the post is here! (Okay, that was cheesy as all get out, but cute, right?)
I love candles. I'm constantly burning something scented in our home, be it a candle, essential oils, or even just spraying Febreze. When you come home, it should smell like a home; not hot garbage
Dear Younger Crys,
Your life won't be peaches and cream. Tbh, it's not now but it really won't be in several years. I don't mean to scare you when I say that. You'll have some heartbreak so hurtful, you'll be amazed you even got out of bed. You'll have triumphs so amazing, you'll be surprisingly humble about it all.
Here some bullet points you should consider:
The guy you'll marry won't be
I like to experiment with my lip colors for the simple fact I have full lips and they tend to draw a lot of attention on their own without me doing anything to them. Awesome.
Now let's get down to business. Today, I'm test-driving the Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lip in Brains N' Bronze.
Ooh, that was a mouthful.
It glides on very smooth, and honestly, you don't have to use very
So, last week I mentioned I was giving away a little care package courtesy of Munchkin. Well, life happened (hubby returned from Ukraine with gifts, but that's another post later this week), and I didn't get a chance to do the giveaway.
Now, here it is!

I received this from Bear's school and had two of them. Obviously, we don't need two so I'm giving one away to a
