When you bite of more than you can chew, you have a friend help complete a couple projects. Hope she is happy with how I did the shark. Ironically I finished it up while watching #Sharktank #shark #crochet #handmade

Both Sweetpea and Nephew stopped by before trick or treating with their daddy's today. Nephew LOVES his ninjas and Sweetpea's daddy was a wolf with his little lamb🐑. Too cute. Have a happy and safe #Halloween!🎃

It's that time again. We are so blessed to live in a country were we have the right to cast our vote. Tonight me and hubs sat down and went over our pamphlets, we even had discussions on the subjects (normally politics are off limits). Kiddo kept busy with a color book and of course Yona Bear could be found at my feet. #beheard #vote

Helping a friend catch up on some projects. Working on this Dragon blanket for about 6.5 hrs and am about half way done with the body. Really liking how fast bulky yarn and a Q size hook works up. And it's so soft! #crochetforthewin #dragonseverywhere #sizeQWhoknew #crochet #dragons

I could not attend any vigils like I wanted. So an at home candlelight vigil for the victims and their families. I may not have known or been connected to any of them, but my heart breaks from the violence and loss of life. May the victims experience everlasting life and joy with our Lord and sending prayers, peace, love, and healing to their families. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with them tonight. #skagitstrong #lovenothate #lovenotfear #burlingtonstrong #lordinyourmercy

Suicide effects so many people. And many have stories. Suicide has been in my life for such a long time. It's a taboo subject to talk about but I want to share my story with you. As a teenager who was torment by my peers, from a very young age, suicide crossed my mind many times. None of my friends or family had a clue how dark my life felt. I was one of the lucky ones. My love for my family kept me from ever following through with such dark thoughts. Even today i struggle with depression and where it could lead. As an adult I have lost a family member to this darkness. I dealt with the aftermath of my own sister's attempt and many many downward spirals and the fear she would do it again. I have stood by my husband and his family after a 19 year old boy, with his life ahead of him, lost his battle to the darkness. I watch as my loved ones struggled with the loss and the battle of how he fell through the cracks. He had an psych eval just days before. How did professionals not see it coming? In memory of this young man's life Team Zandi walked last year and will be doing so again this year. I ask that you donate even just a dollar to help those who are drowning in the darkness. Help make our world more aware and help those suffering Out of the Darkness.

Meant to post this hours ago, but I fell asleep. Something I am very thankful for. The past few weeks sleep has been beyond difficult. I am so grateful that someone told me of a closer (dare I say better) dentist, who got me in the next day. I am already feeling so much better. Thank you Lord for bringing that person into my life who made me look in the right place. Also so very thankful I no longer work a 9-5, on such short notice, which happened in the past so often, would have caused an occurrence and a loss of pay. #thankfulthursday #thankyoulord #teambreakfree

What a goofy smile. But that's what happens when your entire lower jaw is numb. Got my teeth taken out today. No stitches. I knew I didn't need an oral surgen. Thank you so much Dr. Dang for taking away the pain and restoring my faith in Dental practitioners. And thank you to the rest of the staff at Silver Lake Dental for making me feel welcome from the moment I called.

This #wellnesswednessday I feel anything but well. I have been ill for the past week. Pretty sure as its the first time since starting this nutrition journey it's related to the infection in my teeth. So why am I sharing this? Because this has been an eye opener to how important your teeth health is. I am absolutely terrified of going to the dentist, but if I had not put off the problem I wouldn't have been sitting here the last three weeks, in major pain, waiting to be squeezed in to have oral surgery. No more will I let my fear keep me from getting to a healthy me. #goodbyetofear ##teambreakfree P.S the best way to deal with congestion and pain? Hot air humidifier, shake, water and lots of crocheting 😊 So glad I don't have to chew right now.

Last week was a doosy. Between the tooth pain, finding out I would have to wait to have it taken care of, family lunacy (to put it nice & simple) and having one heck of a cold... well I have found it difficult to focuse. Difficult to not over think things, and down right impossible to remind myself to stay calm and breath. But I see these plaques every time I walk into my therapist office and am motivated to heed their words of wisdome and hang in there just one more day. #motivationmonday #justkeepswimming #onedayatatime #lifeiscrazy #teamanchored #teambreakfree

🐢Turtle tank cleaned & rest of carpet shampooed. Tomorrow move everything back then tackle the kitchen and the 🐡 fish tank. But for now time to relax a bit and maybe crochet for my therapy hour.

Yep, the entire family loves these Superfood shakes... we have all lost weight and feel amazing. When my motivation slips I just remember I have an entire crew there to support me and get me on track. *Mom had to be the odd man out with her creamy Dutch chocolate while we all had yummy creamy French Vanilla, lol! #motivationmonday #familyofshakers #teambreakfree #teamanchored

My entire life I was told not to give to pan handlers. "They are just going to buy alcohol or drugs..." negative reinforcement like this is endless. So I never give and often have these thoughts as I see someone in need. But silently my heart breaks for them and I wish, oh how I wish, I could make tomorrow better for them. This evening as my family drove home from an impromptu trip I saw a women at the rest stop. "Out of Gass and oil. Homeless, need help." My heart told me to ignore what I have always been told. After all, how is this women any different than I? My family is looking at hard times and if I have to resort to something like this I would not want others to just assume. It took some courage but I walked up to this lady handed her a measly dollar, not that I could really spare it, and asked if I could pray with her. The look in her eyes.... it made me cry. It kills me I could not do more and that is one of the reasons I am so persistent with my nutrition business. I want to #live2give and someday I will be able to do just that. #itsnotallaboutme #theyarepeopletoo #teambreakfree

💕Happy 5th anniversary hun. We may have had A LOT of ups and downs over the years but you will ALWAYS have my heart💙 I love you more than you now. Here's to many more years to come.

So unbelievably thankful for this superfood shake right now. My wisdome teeth have been bothering me making it difficult to eat and I'm going to have to wait weeks to have them removed. So I treated my self and made a PB & banana Chocolate shake. At least I know as long as I have these shakes I'm getting the nutrition I need and giving my teeth a chewing break. #messyhairdontcare #superfoods #easypeasy
