Today is such a special day to celebrate! After changing majors once, having two major surgeries, spending many days in the hospital, and still managing to get straight A's (almost😉), I can confidently say that I am a college graduate! 🎓 I have my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education! #lookoutworld #gcualumni #crohnswontholdmeback #allglorytogod #classof2015 (at Grand Canyon University)

Or worse, when I turn the lights back on after I've given them the awesome time of watching a video in class!

I find this so peaceful, repetitive motion is calming.

It's like out of a fairytale ⭐️

I can’t believe I forgot about one of the BEST IBD friendly foods: Applesauce.

It’s finally turned to fall in the Pacific Northwest - my absolute favourite season of the year. The leaves turn a gorgeous red colour, it’s crisp out and the rains haven’t turned everything to mush…yet.

I’m all about comfort food and my Grams used to make me all sorts of digestive treats - applesauce included. I’ve never made it so when I stumbled across this slow cooker recipe, I had to give it a try.

The result? Cinnamony, sweet (with no added sugar), rich goodness. Nothing like the beige store bought blandness. I used mostly Braeburns and a couple of Macs. I’m looking forward to testing out different combinations to see which flavour I like best.

Check out the recipe here: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-applesauce-in-the-slow-cooker-223486

Added bonus: Your whole house will smell amazing while it cooks itself!

Right now my tummy can tolerate apple sauce and saltines, and that's about it. Homemade apple sauce sounds amazing 🍎

I have such respect for people who genuinely try their best in whatever they are doing in life. Even if it’s not much because it’s a hard day, always try your best and it is good enough.

When I'm stuck in a hospital bed, haven't had fresh air or sunshine in days (or real food), I really begin to appreciate the outside beauty of the world.
