A Day to Remember


So today marks my babies 1st birthday. She would have been 1 if she would have made it through my pregnancy. It has been a hard day and I'd be lying if I haven't felt anger towards God a little today and so much grief and heartache in my heart and soul. I wanted to do something special and I've seen people do a balloon release before and I loved the idea. We bought her a birthday balloon and two stars. Wish the hubby would've gotten the birthday balloon in the pic but it was so windy out! I attached flowers, a card and a beautiful bracelet.



My husband and I both wrote in the card for our sweet doll. The problem was, Benjamin really liked the balloons and didn't want to let them go, so that was a struggle, but a giggle in our day. I thank God every day for our beautiful little boy. He is the light in our darkness, especially today.

Later tonight, we went to dinner in celebration of her short life. It just seemed appropriate though we don't have her with us. I just wish I could hold my angel. But I know she is in a better place and is flying with the angels and talking to Jesus.

When a baby is born into heaven
the angels sing quite low,
the saddest of the lullabies 
a human could ever know.

When a baby is born into heaven
hearts are deeply grieved.
A mothers tears and a fathers cries
come deep from within the bereaved.

As we send off your gifts to heaven,
the grief is still so real.
Just remember your not forgotten
and our love for you is all we feel.

I miss you baby girl. I can't wait to meet you in heaven.

    Such a beautiful tribute to your little angel. I have one also except I was lucky to have him for 2 and a half months before God called him back. One day we will all be reunited with our angels who we hold so close in our hearts.

Dance With Me, Momma

Sometimes one day in our life is just what we need to keep on moving forward. A little inspiration, encouragement and hope entering into our sometimes dismal worlds. Today just happened to be one of those days for me. My family and I went on a short hike at a new park my husband found. We climbed up steep hills meant for mountain bikes and followed small trails intended for wild animals. We were able to explore the woods and enjoy God's beautiful world and enjoy the peace and serenity only that can bring. What touched me most deeply was when Benjamin stopped me about 3/4 of the way through our hike. He pulled my face close to his and whispered in his sweet voice, "Dance with me, momma." So right there in the middle of the woods with only Lawrence looking on, I danced with my 4 year old. He hummed a sweet tune and spun me on the forest floor like we were in a ball room and I was a princess and him a prince. Then he grabbed my face and kissed my lips and said, "

WINNER ANNOUNCED! Forskolin Coleus - An All Natural Weight Loss Supplement Review & Giveaway

Image
Hosted By  Beautifully Poor Sponsored By Nourishing Well Nutritionals I am a skeptic when it comes to weight loss supplements and have never gotten into the fads. Lately though, I cannot seem to lose weight very well. I won't take anything that isn't natural and I know it takes work to get into shape and lose weight. As we all know to well, body fat is extremely stubborn! I exercise regularly and eat healthy, so this supplement was just the thing to kick start my fat loss journey. I started taking this on April 8th of this year. At the same time, I started doing 30 minutes of strength training in the morning BEFORE I ate breakfast. Also, having a glass of something caffeinated like black or green tea or a cup of black coffee FREE of sugar and creamer, can help kick start your body and give you energy. After the half hour of exercise, I wait about 20 minutes and then take 2 Forskolin Coleus pills. Within 20-30 minutes of taking those, I eat a well balanced mea
