LOVE and JOY

 🎄18 Days Till Christmas🎄 I can't believe how fast this year has flew by. It feels like I blinked my eyes and twenty years went by. It is almost Christmas and this Christmas will be a very different one in our life.  This year has been by far one of the worst years in my life. I wish we could have it to do over again. Cherish and love your loved ones because you never know what tomorrow brings. We have lost three dear special loved ones this year. So, Christmas will not be the same this year without them. It doesn't even really feel like Christmas to me. I am trying to be happy and christmassy for my two youngest children, but it is really hard. I am just going to put on a happy face and enjoy my family and friends while I can. Life is hard, but you have to carry on.  Christmas shouldn't be about what you get. It shouldn't be about the gifts you give. It should be about GOD(JESUS), loving your family and friends. Spending time with them. Telling them how ...

CANCER SUCKS

 🌪Anxiety🌪 Ever since my father-in-law passed away I have been having trouble sleeping or doing anything really. I try to keep my mind busy but no matter what I do all I can see is his last breath and his big blue eyes. I see his face every where. I wake up almost every night in a pool of sweat from having nightmares and anxiety. It has been a little over two weeks now. It has been a very long two weeks.  It was a very traumatic experience one that my husband and I was not ready for. I know no one is ever ready for something like that. I have had anxiety about death since I was about 9 years old. This man meant a lot to me. He took me into his home when I had no where to go. I was pregnant with his son's child and I was only 18. I am so thankful for this man I call my father-in-law. He was more of a father to me than my own father was. He was a very good man. A strong and healthy man. He loved his four children and all his family with all his heart. He was always t...

Thanksgiving

Image
🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING🦃 The turkey is in the oven. I can't wait to sit down at the table with all four of my children, my husband, my grandson, my mom, and my daughter's husband John and enjoy this Thanksgiving dinner. I look forward to days like this because they are rare. When kids grow up its hard to spend a lot of time together so when we do get to spend time together it is a blessing for sure. Enjoy your young-ins while you can because they grow up way too fast. I love my family and friends with all my heart. GOD blessed me with some really fantastic people in my life. Count your blessings and give thanks to the good LORD above. Thank you LORD!! I am Thankful for GOD, family and friends and good memories that will last a life time. Enjoy your day!

Thoughts about life

 🤔Just Thinking🤔 A few months ago I looked and felt like crap.  I have this friend on my Facebook page who I have purchased make-up from over a year and a half ago because I wanted to help her business grow not because I wanted to wear the make-up, but because I wanted her to be able to get her kids the things that they needed. I wanted to be that kind nice lady that likes to help others out. Little did I know I'd be selling YOUNIQUE.  Fast forward to almost 4 months ago on July 22, 2020. I joined her YOUNIQUE team. It is a fabulous bunch of beautiful ladies. That are really inspiring and very kind to one another. We are there for each other and help each other out. I could not have asked for a better group of ladies to share this experience with. I thank GOD for leading me down this path. If you are looking for a side job to earn a little extra income then this is the place to be. If you are interested I can answer any questions you may have. YOUNIQUE'S make-up an...

Worst year ever!

Image
💣2020💣 This year has been one heartache after another. I don't think this year can get anymore crappier.  The year started off with the COVID19. Next, the death of my handsome amazing nephew Dylan AKA superman. After that my dog Rylee was poisoned and she was saved this time thankfully. Next my family and I got the COVID19 and it was a very horrible experience. During our COVID19 experience my husband's awesome Dad received news that he had AML a rare form of leukemia. After all this sad heart breaking news our dog Rylee was poisoned again by a neighbor and this time she was not saved. Now on NOVEMBER 12, 2020 my husband's father died from AML. It was so very heartbreaking and very sad to watch this death take place. John was a good man and a really amazing father. He loved his children and grandchildren with all his heart. He was one of the last few good men in the world.  On the drive to NC Wednesday November 11, 2020 was the longest ride we have ever taken....

Epilepsy

Image
 💜Dylan King💜 Dylan King is my handsome nephew. He was always a delight to be around. Just seeing him smile brought joy to my heart. He had a smile of pure happiness. His high fives and hugs were the best ever. Aunt Lizz loves and misses you sweet Dylan. You were and always will be the best nephew in the whole wide universe!! I love you superman Dylan. You see my nephew had epilepsy and a chromosome disorder. He used to run and play and sing. He had the sweetest voice ever. I loved hearing my Mom and Dylan sing together. It was the best. I think one of his favorite things to do was run. He loved running. I bet that is what he is doing right now up in heaven! Running pain free through a bunch of balloons while singing. Dylan loved balloons!!  As Dylan got older he started having seizures. Seizures took his ability to sing and run away. He had to be put on medication to help control his seizures. He had a lot of seizures. Seizures are horrible. Poor Dylan. It was horrible...

NOVEMBER 2020

  💜 HAPPY 1ST OF NOVEMBER 💜 3 Things I am spreading the news about this month. First one is about epilepsy and SUDEP for my nephew Dylan and all of those who suffer from it. 2nd is about my YOUNIQUE Makeup I am selling. 3RD is about my GODs GANG page on Facebook.   Dylan is my amazing nephew who passed away from SUDEP which was brought on by his epilepsy. November is Epilepsy Awareness month; should be every month. Dylan was one amazing and awesome young man (that everyone loves and misses dearly) whose life was cut way too short. We need to spread awareness so others are more aware of epilepsy and what it can do to you. So if you are reading my blog please help spread awareness. It is much appreciated. I am NO LONGER selling YOUNIQUE Make-up  I Love GOD and I LOVE spreading news about GODs good word. If you LOVE GOD too please visit my GODs GANG page on Facebook  HERE ---->  GODs GANG .

COVID19 is Real

Image
👿COVID19 is terrible 👿 It has been awhile since I have posted. COVID19 struck our family and thank GOD we survived because a lot of people don't. It is a horrible disease and we are praying for everyone that has it and we are praying that those of you who don't have it don't get it. Please follow precautions. Believe me you don't want this.  We are still suffering after affects from the virus. It is horrible. Our experience from COVID19 started September 24, 2020 when my husband came home sick from work and his work called him later that day and advised him to go get tested because others at his work tested positive and sure enough he tested positive for SARS2 COVID. My husband had mild to moderate symptoms. I had moderate to critical symptoms. Our children thank the LORD did not get really bad symptoms. Some of the symptoms we had were cough, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, headache, joint pain, joint popping, hot and cold chills, shaking, muscle and whole body aches...

💜Favorite Things💜 Three of my favorite things that I like to do are making memes, selling makeup, and sharing GOD's good word. Making memes has been something I have enjoyed doing for the last 6 years or so. I make all kinds of memes. My favorites are memes about GOD. I took some digital art classes in college years ago that come in handy. I use adobe fireworks to make my memes. I have lots of memes that I have made over the years. I share my memes on Facebook and my blog.  I NO LONGER SELL YOUNIQUE GOD's good word is the most important thing in my life. GOD comes above all else! I made a group on Facebook called GODs GANG. If you ever wanna come check us out please feel free to do so. Everyone is welcome there. Click  here  to join us at GODs GANG.

PAIN from COVID19

Image
❤ PAIN ❤ I am now on day 10. My husband is on day 12. We are doing much better! Kids are doing good. Thank GOD for answered prayers!! Thank you GOD for good family and friends!!  Some insight into the pain of the COVID19 virus On day 8 This is the worst virus/disease ever. It is so painful. It feels like someone is stabbing me all over my body. At one point I was on my bed with ice packs all over my body and cold rags on my head. My skin feels like its burning and its rashed up and it hurts to touch. I have had a fever for 5 days now. It is like the pain is working its way through my body. It started with a severe headache and sore throat that I had for 4 days. The light hurts my eyes and it   felt as though they were going to pop out of my head. The pain in my back hurts so bad that it is hard to lay down or sit in a chair because it hurts to touch. There is pain every where. Last night was the worst. I was shaking and sweating profusely. I think that I may have hit my peak t...

UPDATE!

🌟 Homeschooling and COVID19🌟 On Wednesday September 23, 2020  we finished the 23rd day of home school. On Monday September 28 we will be on day 26. I can't believe how fast the time is going by. My son had to make Qin Shi Huang which was the First Emperor of the unified China out of play dough. I was sitting there watching him form the man in the dough and listening to him talk about Qins time as emperor. His play dough guy turned out good and when he was finished he made a play dough pizza. I wish I would have thought of taking a picture but I was too busy listening to hi m talk about the Qin Dynasty. If you'd like to read about  Qin Shi Huang you can click  HERE . My daughter is doing well in her Spanish class. In math she is learning how to Identify the domain and range for relations described with words, symbols, tables, sets of ordered pairs, and graphs. Math is her favorite subject. She loves numbers. Only 155 more days to go! I'm not sure how homeschooling will g...

Symptoms

Image
The COVID19 virus is making its way through our household. My husband says he feels better, but is still very tired. He tested positive for the virus on September 24. He started showing symptoms two or three days before he was tested, He just thought he was having allergies or a change in weather head cold.  I am feeling sick now. My head has been hurting for three days now. I thought it was just stress from crying and worrying about my husband being sick. But, today I feel as though I have been run over by a truck. My head still hurts. My throat, neck, stomach, and whole body aches. I have no fever. I have a slight cough. I am having a lot of gassy weird crampy feelings in my intestines and stomach.  Everyone is different and there are many different symptoms of this virus. Please monitor your symptoms and check for fever twice a day.  Please watch out for symptoms if you are having them please quarantine  yourself away from others for 14 days or get ...

COVID19

Image
We have been exposed to the COVID19 virus. Some people believe this is not a real thing, but it most certainly is very real.  I'm not sure what to do. I can't be around my husband for for more than 10 minutes at a time. He has to stay in his room away from everyone while he is sick. He was diagnosed with covid19 yesterday. No work for 14 days. His symptoms are mild right now. He is having bad stomach pains, hot flashes, cold flashes, congestion, headache, and other symptoms. When he lays down he can't breathe right after awhile so he has to keep sitting up. He is in so much pain. I wish I could help him. I'm praying that his symptoms get better instead of worse.  We were instructed that if he looks blue to call 911. I'm so scared. I just pray that nothing happens to him. Please GOD let him be okay. Just please if you pray please pray for us. Pray for everyone who is in need. The more prayers the better. Thank you for any prayers it is very much appreciated. I know G...

Just have fun doing it.  Carve a pumpkin with your family and bake the seeds and eat them and enjoy. Make a Halloween craft and give it to someone to brighten their day. Its the simple things in life that matter the most. Like spending time with family and friends.   

Summer Project

Image
🐴HORSES 🐴 My daughter made this for her over the summer project. She loves animals of all kinds so she decided to do a project about horses. Last year she did one on wolves. I love that she likes to read, write, and draw. Every summer the kids get to pick a project they will work on over the summer. My daughter always does hers on animals. My son doesn't really finish his, but when he does it is usually about knights or army men. He loves knights, army men, and anything that fights and or saves the world. I love watching my kids grow and learn.  The summer projects keep their brains busy and learning. 

Yellow Status

💛My Yellow Status💛 I'm so happy 🙂  I  made it to a yellow status presenter. I started out with the white charm. I finally got my Younique Yellow Status Charm. Now I need to earn the next status which is PINK and then I can get a pink Charm. I can't wait to earn the pink status. I love selling Younique. I love their makeup and skin care lines. I love how they follow EU standards when producing their makeup and skin care lines. I love that Younique is a company that helps child sexual abuse survivors. This company is amazing and I am thankful I get to sell their products. I love how us presenters get paid within 3.5 hours of a sale. The extra income is nice and I can buy my husband a gift that is actually paid for by me, not using his money. I can help buy groceries and small things the kids need. This makes me feel good inside knowing that I can help provide too.   Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me by making purchases, hosting reward links, and sharin...

Not Giving Up

Image
💜36 Pounds Down 💜 I lost 3lbs this week. I'm so happy because I was at a stand still for the last two weeks. At least I was able to stay the same weight for those two weeks.  I thought about giving up, but I don't want to do that again. I have done that again and again for the last 13 years. I give up too easily on lots of things in life. I don't want to give up anymore. I want to lose this weight and keep it off. I want to be happy and healthy. That's why I quit smoking to begin with so I cou ld be healthy, but instead I learned a new unhealthy habit.... EATING TOO MUCH! So this time around I am going to lose this weight and learn to keep it off for good. I started this weight loss journey on July 29, 2019 and I was doing good until February 16, 2020. Then I messed up again and I started over July 18, 2020. I have managed to lose 36lbs so far. This time around I am not giving up!! To anyone out there fighting a battle You can do it! Just don't give up. Stay stron...

You can upload a picture of yourself or do a live view try on. Even if you don't buy anything you can still play and have fun. Best of all you can see yourself with different makeup looks.   Go check it out. Its pretty neat. Have some fun! I did a half and half of each picture so I can show you the difference. You can take a screen shot of yourself when you are finished trying on the makeup.   I am learning a lot about make up.  I want to learn how to do the wing with the liquid liner!  I love the purple eye shadow in the one picture below. I'm not sure what happened to my lips in the pictures, but the lipstick got a little big and out of hand. NO LONGER SELLING YOUNIQUE. Enjoy and have a fun time! Share you pictures in comments below.
