Hysterectomy Recovery
SURGERY IS COMPLETE! My uterus, cervix, and tubes are GONE! Hallelujah! Day of surgery: I was doing pretty good in the pre-op room with my husband and momma. They did a great job of keeping me distracted from getting nervous and focusing on just how thirsty I was. When it was time to be wheeled back into ther operating room I was getting anxious. I got on the table and I remember I started to tear up from my nerves and they gave me some medicine and then I was just out. It is always so crazy how quick that anesthesia kicks in! Waking up in the recovery room, I…

Is There Anything Better Than Sweatshirts & Leggings??
I am loving this lightweight sweatshirt that I found on Amazon a couple weeks ago. Its long, soft, and oh so comfy! It pairs perfectly with my leggings too! SCORE! It did take some time for mine to come in, as it was shipped from China, but some options in certain sizes and colors did have faster ship times available. When you order yours, make sure to pay attention to the color it says and not just the color you think you are ordering. I thought I was ordering the green one, but it was actually grey with the wrong photo attached. {I did inform Amazon, but just in case its not fixed–make sure…

Chicken and Broccoli Mac n’ Cheese
I decided to try something new. I am not big on veggies and so I have been trying to sneak them in wherever I can for myself. It doesnt really work the same though, does it?! Haha Well I stumbled across this recipe from Beachbody and decided to tweak it to the ingredients I had on hand and give it a go. The main difference in the recipe was that I didnt have any almond milk, so I used organic whole milk instead. Outcome? I actually didnt hate it. I actually quite enjoyed it. Cheese makes everything better though, doesnt it?! To get started, cook your macaroni of choice according…

The Jones Assembly
Date Night in OKC…..sometimes it is hard to know where to go or what to do when you get to go out for a date night with the significant other. We tend to do alot of movies and dinner, but this time we wanted something different. We decided to go check out The Jones Assembly on the Historic Film Row downtown OKC. Ya’ll we spent 4 HOURS there! We took our time and went to all the different areas and just slowly enjoyed our evening. We got there at 4pm, and since the dining room wasnt open until 5pm we went and set out on downstairs patio. From 4-5 we sat out…

It is a gel infused memory foam pillow that has distinct features that makes it ideal for back and side sleepers.
