Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun

In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going!
Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers
My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest!

My mama and her girls
Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the parks around. These definitely come in handy when friends and family visit, but also just for a date night! I renewed our passes for this upcoming year to Disney and my sweet friend Maddie joined me to celebrate! Love having Disney addicts for friends! We visited Epcot and I tried my very first but definitely not last macaroon! Obsessed to say the least!! The one I got was a specialty for the Flower and Garden Festival, raspberry and dark chocolate! Amazing!

My favorite princess and her beast!

I love going to Disney on a random weekday! It is a perk for living in this chaotic town! Hoping to persuade my beau to go while he's home! It never gets old!
While I was home, my mom and I watched my nieces while my sister and her hubby attended a wedding! Spending time with the girls is a must while home, I just soak up my time with them! Plus, it gets me my kid fix! We watched Inside Out which is the most creative movie I've seen out of Disney in quite some time! I highly recommend it!
Macie is such a good little patient! Future MD maybe?
It is always good to see my family and visit but there's just something about my home that I've built with my love that I love to come back to. Luckily, B will be home this week and I will be one happy girl! It is true what they say about distance making the heart grow fonder, I miss him but at the same time, our hellos are the best after his long trips!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Tired AF

Evidently if you were born between 1981 & 1996, you're a millennial so I figured I would used the "AF" instead of swearing. Do you ever feel like you're just tired of just about everything? Well, that is me the past couple weeks! Just tired of being exhausted with the two consecutive low readings this week between 1 and 4am. Tired of stressing about finances, future & the other F word. Just wanting and needing a break before hitting the ceiling?? Well, welcome to my world this MONTH! Last week, I had one of those good cries. One of those turn the music up, run the bath, wine induced, good Lord save me cries. Where you feel sorry for yourself, want to change everything and move out of the country to your own island moments. This is something most women do on a random basis and, to be honest, it is extremely healthy. I mentioned the "Pancreas Pals" podcast last post and it has truly helped me so much mentally. https://pancreaspals.com/catego...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...
