Text of the page (random words):
avec la fleur skip to main skip to sidebar thank you for following 01 january 2019 happy new year i just opened blogger to start this blog post and it took me a full minute to figure out which button to press haha it s been awhile for the last couple months i have been toying with the idea of returning to blogging i want to keep better track of my photos and memories i love scrapbooking but it takes so long and i have to be in the mood to do it and when i get behind i feel kind of panicked and guilty that i will lose my memories and cecily won t have anything from her childhood to look back on honestly it s pretty silly but it has led me to think that it might be fun to try blogging again or it might completely stress me out or this might be as far as i get we shall see right now i m alone at home ahhhhhh the best levi and cecily are at the grocery store getting ingredients for our mexican pie dinner and i am watching holiday inn my new year s day tradition i always love the beginning of the new year i love fresh starts and clean slates and setting goals and making plans here are some things i d like for 2019 1 more time spent near the ocean 2 continue to reduce my anxiety and be more positive and grateful 3 add the teensiest bit of structure to my life so that i can get more accomplished each day normal human adult things like doing the laundry dishes and having food to eat a this one gets sub items try out more gluten free recipes at home so that i don t hate having to be gluten free so much b keep asking god to heal me so i can eat gluten again 4 develop a better homeschooling rhythm 5 find a new church 6 go to disneyland even more than we did last year it looks like we went approximately 50 times in 2018 keep track of each visit 7 read 50 books something i also accomplished in 2018 8 help cecily develop a love of independent reading my biggest homeschooling goal 9 continue to eat intuitively 10 have more fun with levi just the two of us and a bonus item 11 buy more sweatshirts and underwear hahaha seriously though i love sweatshirts at this point in my life comfort is more important than a stylish outfit that s so sad but so true and i just really need to update my underwear drawer there are plenty of other little goals and aspirations i have for 2019 but often many of my goals are really just hopes and dreams there s nothing wrong with those of course but these are the things i feel i have a little more control over that i think will help improve life for me and my family and if god wants to bring travel and a piano into my life this year too then that is fantastic h a p p y n e w y e a r comments labels a new year blogging lists 12 april 2017 au revoir gluten i just shared this on instagram but when i got a question from someone my response was so long that instagram wouldn t let me post it haha typical so i decided to write a blog post instead i ve shared bits and pieces about my health issues over the last few years but i don t think i ve really shared how bad things got i have definitely withdrawn a lot from everything and everyone partly because i don t like feeling misunderstood and partly because i just haven t felt well it started with my thyroid disease and then i figured out that i had pretty bad pmdd i had surgery on my thyroid after a horrible year on medication and i tried a few treatments for the pmdd my surgery was very successful but nothing has helped the pmdd overall i just felt like crap super low energy tons of paralyzing anxiety heart palpitations panic attacks that woke me up in the middle of the night muscles so tense and tight that they d send shooting pains all over my body headaches that would last for weeks or even months brain fog and just generally feeling lousy it has been an all consuming battle and very discouraging after having a really bad headache for six weeks and extremely bad muscle tension i decided to try giving up gluten and i didn t just give up the obvious sources of gluten i did it for real i read labels carefully looked stuff up online called manufacturers and asked lots of questions at restaurants after less than a week my headache finally went away and then i started noticing my muscle pain decreasing now after only two months the headaches and muscle pain are still gone my anxiety is getting so much better i have more energy than i ve had in years i don t walk around feeling like my head is in a fog anymore my heart palpitations have decreased my fingers don t get stiff and cramped anymore and my general malaise has decreased a ton the longer i go without gluten the more changes i see and i m sure there is still so much more change yet to come it is so insane to me that this has helped me so much and i pray that it continues to help so i shared most of the above on instagram and mentioned that it has been difficult to give up gluten someone asked how hard it was because they were having similar symptoms and this is what i d like to say in response to that question i loooooove bread pasta cookies cakes and pastries i really don t think can express how much lol my diet before i quit was totally based on gluten and i am 100 addicted to gluten and to food the gluten free versions of stuff don t hold a candle to the real deal so i definitely can t say i don t notice a huge difference but i feel so much better that i just can t go back the way i have approached it has been as a trial to see if i felt better then once i started feeling better it made it easier to stick with i still haven t declared or thought i m never going to have gluten again but i also don t let myself think that i will have it again someday i ve just taken it day by day as something i am doing right now for my health and i tell myself that i will find new foods to love over time the one thing that has been incredibly hard for me is thinking about chocolate croissants and that i might never have one again i have honestly cried over this a few times all of this to say that it is definitely hard but only when you let your mind go there there are plenty of gluten free foods to eat and you will find things that you really do enjoy eating out is the hardest part you have to be pretty careful and ask a lot of questions even stuff marinated in soy sauce contains gluten and many restaurants mix pancake batter into their scrambled eggs you can t even count on corn tortillas at restaurants being gluten free so just do your research and ask ask ask i ve stuck to eating a lot of the same foods over and over and as i add new stuff places in i observe how i feel if i accidentally eat something with gluten in it the next day my muscles hurt and i have a bad headache and anxiety that s only happened with three things though i would encourage you to approach it as a trial and see if you notice a difference if you do you really won t want to go back my headaches went away within a week and everything else has gradually gotten better it can take ages for your body to fully recover though if you have an intolerance so if it is a problem for you you will continue to see improvements over time i m still seeing new improvements and i suspect that i will continue to over the next year or so so yeah that s what has been going on with me lately between going gluten free and a few other things i m doing working on my life is getting better each day the last few years have been a huge struggle for me but seeing actual improvement has been incredibly encouraging for the record i don t think everyone needs to give up gluten by any means while i do believe that gluten is inflammatory to all our bodies i definitely don t believe that we are all gluten intolerant but if you ve been thinking that gluten might be an issue for you don t be afraid to try out going gluten free if i can do it you can too comments 07 july 2016 cecily jo s debut a big giant mini book i recently had the honor of guest posting for caylee grey on her gorgeous blog a couple months ago she announced that she was accepting applications for guest posts i applied and was sooooo excited when she asked me to post caylee is a super talented papercrafter and teacher she s also very motivating and encouraging to artists i ve been working through her level up class and have learned so much about productivity and what helps me personally get things done it s truly turning out to be a game changer for me caylee is awesome anyway because of all this awesomeness i wanted to come up with something really good to share on her blog and i also wanted to finish a project that has been on my to do list for awhile i decided on making a mini book to document cecily s first ballet class and recital in the end this mini book wasn t so mini it s huge i kept joking that it was as thick as the bible i just couldn t edit down my photo selections any further and decided it s my album and i ll do what i want i used mostly pink paislee s c est la vie collection for the mini book and mixed in some maggie holmes crate paper and tons of vintage ballerina elements it turned out very girly with lots of florals doilies lace texture and pink perfect for a ballet album i ve included some photos to give you a peek of the album below but there s soooo much more on caylee s blog i initially planned to use binder rings to hold my album together but my stack of pages was way too thick for the rings i had and the ones that would fit all the pages were ridiculously large so i went with some gorgeous silk ribbon instead at first i wasn t so sure how i felt about it but now i love it love it in fact i love this entire album these memories are treasures to me cecily s recital was so special and wonderful for me it was seriously a magical experience and i just wanted to hold onto those memories and make something that would convey how perfect this experience was so yeah i m super proud of what i made please go check it out here and if you feel so inclined please leave a comment here or there letting me know what you think i would be so thrilled to hear from you as always thank you so much for reading and having a look at what i ve made i put so much heart time and energy into the things i make and i truly appreciate when others stop to have a look xo jasmine comments 24 june 2016 end of the year thank you cards cecily finished up her first year half year actually of preschool last week and had her dance recital over the weekend so i made some thank you cards to give to all her teachers and helpers i knew i wanted to use doilies and some vintage pieces i had found online but i didn t have a clear sketch layout in my head so i checked out a card class at big picture classes and found a great sketch in one of carissa wiley s classes i made 7 cards assembly line style 3 identical cards for preschool i love that little girl at her easel she reminds me of cecily and 4 different cards for dance i think the last one is my favorite because again she reminds me of cecily the thank yous are stamped and heat embossed on pieces of vellum and they are certainly not perfect but that just lends itself to the homemade look as do the globs of hot glue holding on the sequins haha i splashed a little gold heidi swapp color shine on each card and called them done i love how they turned out next i packaged them all up with some chocolate bars and they were all ready for cecily to give to her wonderful teachers and helpers i hope they liked them and felt appreciated we certainly appreciate everything they ve done for cecily this year thank you so much for taking a look at my project i hope you enjoyed it xo jasmine comments 23 february 2016 disneyland mini album my very favorite thing to make is a mini album i looooove them and my favorite way to make one is to print out all the photos and have a marathon scrapping session and get it all done in day i guess i like my scrapbooking how i like my television watching this is an album i ve been meaning to make for a very long time and i m really happy with how it turned out it s been three years since cecily s first trip to disneyland but i m glad i waited because i was able to use crate paper s wonder collection and it was perfect for this project i saved our tickets from that day and slipped them into this little glassine baggie this is a pocket that holds three photos that are virtually the same but i loved them all and couldn t decide whenever i can t decide i go with a pocket bag or envelope then i don t have to i love this photo of me and silly so it needed to be big some of my favorite photos ever the look on cecily s face meeting snow white for the first time was absolutely priceless our entire day was magical and made me so happy that we didn t wait until she was older to take her to disneyland i love including memorabilia in my albums it s so fun to look back on later her little double chin in this silhouette kills me another little glassine baggie this one is holding her first visit button and a ticket to the world of color show we watched that evening this paper bag holds all the extra photos i couldn t bear to leave out this little bag was actually holding some stickers in an online order i made and it had the shop s logo stickered to the front i loved the bag so much that i peeled off the sticker and saved it but the sticker tore the bag a little bit so i just covered it up i can t stand throwing cute things away even when they re damaged or tiny scraps but i almost always find a use for them at some point this day was precious to me so i m glad i could make an album i love to hold these wonderful memories i feel like i was able to do them justice and i love knowing that cecily will be able to look back on a day she can t remember and know how special it was this is when i love scrapbooking the most thanks for looking xo jasmine comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom search this blog vintage
