Text of the page (random words):
ack of sleep for the past three months but realizing that whoever also chooses to use this calendar will be doing the same acts of kindness on the same day all around the world was pretty magical like a little army out to do good and be kind and that made me tear up a little let me know if you decide to do it you know if you procrastinate as i do so i can think of each of you as we brighten humanity s day also head on over to my sister s design blog for a giveaway today posted by reality is at 11 53 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels parenting personal something beautiful friday march 30 2012 something beautiful me oh you guys this woman she is amazing and gorgeous and talented and strong and brilliant and the woman whose prayers and talks and advice and wisdom saved me on my darkest days read years she is my mom and she has not had an easy life an easy marriage or an easy bunch of kids to raise six might i add she has earned every wrinkle every gray hair and every twinkle in her eye so i promised her i would not touch them so you could see her as her truest self and i may be showing a bit of favor to this woman but isn t she the most beautiful creature you ve ever beheld today i m not sure i find much to love about myself i feel weak and sad and empty but that is just today and i trust i won t feel as bad tomorrow usually i can love that i have been making progress in this life especially recently life has handed me some unexpected blows but i can honestly say that the pain has helped me learn and grow so i love that i m able to do that that i can face the day and move forward i love that i have compassion it is a gift that some don t have and i feel blessed to feel it and to share it with others around me i love how much i love my children how amazing is a mother s love another gift what makes me real that i have as many heartaches as the next woman that i long for love that i find comfort in hiking that i feel like a mountain top is about as close as i can get to god i am real because i have been an imperfect person i am full of mistakes and faults and good and bad and love and joy and sorrow i am a human and i live a complex life but i am grateful for all the good and even some of the bad that has been my experience what advice do i have love god love yourself love others in that order take care of yourself don t ever dismiss your sense of right and wrong listen to your gut believe it be kind to others love your children fiercely stay connected with friends when you least feel like connecting with a friend make the effort to do it anyway talk about your struggles your hurts your challenges don t try to get through life on your own how did i overcome my insecurities i don t know that i have but i m better i realized that i am worth buying a dress at full price i realized that i can risk being rejected i can talk to strangers i can be alone i can feel pain and not die i can be happy what matters is what i do right now not what happened in the past or will happen in the future thank you for being so incredible mom posted by remi at 6 00 am 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels beauty guest post parenting perfection personal something beautiful me what s real tuesday march 27 2012 something beautiful good news and a quote you ll die over what say you a new post it s a freaking miracle yes yes it is you see we ve been well not busy not busy at all unless of course you re talking about me and the mister because in that case we ve been bizz ay that s what you get for that smart allick comment up there at the top lets just say that the first 20 weeks for me aren t my favorite thing in the whole world although i feel so incredibly lucky and so incredibly humbled and so incredibly blessed laying at home all day half running to the toilet and half moaning on the couch is not my cup o tea not that i ever actually throw up see that s the thing my body likes to play this fun game where one out of every 15 or 2 or 37 puke inducing events i actually will throw up so its kinda like this fun little guessing game i stopped running to the bathroom but sometimes that leaves me heaving all the way to the nearest wastebasket okay enough of that how s about something beautiful i found this quote on pinterest it s here if you want it i think i ll write it out on canvas and frame it in my room being tender and open is beautiful as a woman i feel continually shhh ed too sensitive too mushy too wishy washy blah blah don t let someone steal your tenderness don t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things whether it s a song a stranger a mountain a rain drop a tea kettle an article a sentence a footstep feel it all look around you all of this is for you take it and have gratitude give it and feel love zooey deschanel source sugar and heartbreak via theantidote posted by remi at 8 26 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels parenting something beautiful thursday january 19 2012 something delicious ginger cumin grilled salmon with mango chutney ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh this is the best the best best my sister shared it with the whole family after my other sister made it for her for her birthday her email called it favorite salmon with mango chutney but i thought i d get a little more specific for you so you have some idea of what you re eating and since i didn t take a picture of it i think this is adapted from a cooks illustrated recipe but don t quote me on that i don t love meat like you don t know that by now but i love seafood so much so that if i could afford seafood as often as i dreamt about seafood they would probably draw mercury from my veins to use in thermometers because i don t buy seafood as often as i dream of it and because my husband s family doesn t share my affinity for maritime meats we ve also tried this rub slathered on chicken and i like it almost as much and to top it off its one of the easiest and fastest dinner preps ever i think its probably because each ingredient for the rub is stuff i already have in my kitchen and when i say my kitchen of course i mean my mother in laws if you ve got cilantro fresh ginger and some ripe mangos you ve got yourself an easy meal that will knock everyone s socks off speaking of which this would be such a great valentine s dinner seafood is a special occasion around here and its guaranteed to impress in fact i think i ll make it again for the occasion and then i ll update this post with salmon pictures too mango chutney 2 mangos 1 2 small lemon squeezed chopped cilantro salmon 2 tbs olive oil 2 tbs fresh grated ginger 11 2 ts cumin 1 1 2 ts coriander 1 1 2 ts salt 1 4 ts cayenne pepper mix together lay salmon fillet head to tail horizontally tail head cut into vertical strips 2 5 inches wide tail i i i i head slice those strips down the center horizontally almost to the skin and fold back so the meat of the fish is now the top and bottom of fillet and skins are touching rub small fillets with spice ginger blend and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes only heat grill on high for 15 minutes or until you can only hold your hand 2 inches away for 5 sec ha i love this one i can just imagine all of you scorching your hands over the bbq trying to count to five good luck grill both sides 3 4 minutes serve mango chutney on top or side posted by remi at 9 42 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels photos recipes something delicious tuesday january 10 2012 something beautiful consignment i never buy anything at jo ann for full price or michaels or bookstores there will always be a coupon that will save you money what s even better than a coupon is when you can go somewhere where beautiful clothes toys cribs carseats strollers bikes shoes playpens furniture pottys highchairs maternity clothes diaper bags baby bedding are exponentially cheaper than the originals and in nearly perfect condition i got these sweet kicks from a consignment chain in scottsdale called kid to kid just in case you couldn t read the tags i left in on purpose to make you jealous everything the beav wears comes from this place baby gap nike britax bugaboo sperry kenneth cole osh kosh bumbo graco uppababy maclaren l a m b juicy couture quinny baby bjorn moby radio flyer and i saw these baby toms when i was there this weekend i just about died scottsdale s location is most definitely the best but i ve been able to find some great stuff at other locations as well namely my co sleeper oh how i adored my co sleeper these shoes are too big for beav now but he s growing like a weed these days and shoes are the toughest things to keep up with so i ll have these around and prepare for a growth spurt aren t those nike s the coolest this is most definitely scottsdale s hidden gem i might be completely obsessed have you any secret stores out there that i can go check out i m also a big fan of buffalo exchange on mill ave where most of my clothes are purchased just bought some alice and olivia pantalones please excuse my inaccurate spanish for 15 best ever side note if you can afford to go big go nordstrom my family has had many a great experience returning items even years later that we weren t satisfied with don t go in between if you can places like macy s have a return policy in our case for a suit that could rival that of last chance posted by remi at 7 30 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday january 2 2012 something delicious chicken curry soup happy new year what better way is there to start out a brand spankin new year but with delicious food i ve never loved meat in fact i only tolerate it in almost every case sometimes my dad will cook an excellent skirt steak and i ll find the piece that is nearly charred and unrecognizable and i ll enjoy that mostly because its unrecognizable the odd thing is that the smell of it makes me weak in the knees i love it bacon cooking warms my heart and barbecues a cookin make me happy but almost always if i have to prepare it i won t even touch the meal at all it completely and totally grosses me out in every single way possible so about a year ago i went to a lecture that i ve mentioned before and discovered super grains that contain just as much or more protein as meats and also contain high amounts of calcium and fiber my favorites are the quinoas and amaranth so i started to add them to everything also about once a month i ll go load up on one of every vegetable i can get my hands on and food process them together to add to every meal i make that month i freeze what i don t use immediately and that way by adding the grains and veggies to every meal i m getting ridiculous amounts of vitamins and minerals in every meal it was a game changer my body feels so great and healthy and full of energy the first time i made this recipe that i received as part of a recipe book wedding gift from my sister in law and her family i decided to add my grain veggie combo and see how it worked out with a soup and wah la this became my new go to cold weather meal its an absolute hit no matter what time of year and no matter what people think about spinach curry or soup in general i absolutely love it and if its not gone that night i ll be the one to finish it off the next day pair this with trader joe s foccacia rolls and you can t go wrong this recipe is adapted to my forced no cow s milk diet so feel free to adapt accordingly curry chicken soup 1 4 c butter 3 medium onions 4 t flour 1 c sliced carrots or more 1 c sliced celery 6 c chicken broth i add 2 cups more to absorb the grains 2 t curry powder 1 t poultry seasoning 1 t dried parsley 1 2 c regular quinoa 1 2 c red quinoa 1 2 c amaranth 3 4 c 15 veggie blend 4 cups cooked chicken or turkey cubed sometimes i add this to appease other partakers 3 cups goat milk you can use half and half or cows milk 1 10 oz pkg fresh spinach 1 c fresh sliced mushrooms optional salt and pepper to taste you ll definitely want to add s p cook veggies in butter until barely soft sprinkle in flour stirring rapidly add 6 c broth add seasonings and simmer for 20 minutes or until grains are fully cooked and soft quinoa usually releases a little white half circle string when its ready stir in meat milk or half and half and spinach heat through until spinach is limp and dark green note this is not the soup i stole this image from the food network because i don t have one of my own but this looks pretty durn close posted by remi at 7 00 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday
