16 years ago this guy proposed to me. We’d known

16 years ago this guy proposed to me. We’d known each other for 4 months and got married 2 months later. We were just kids 👉🏾!! But when you know you know 😅.

I was just telling him this week how I feel like I’ve gotten to know him SO much more this year.

He asked me why, and I said part of it could be the pandemic and we’ve spent more time at home together... BUT... I also gave him an enneagram test a couple months ago and basically felt mind blown the entire time he told me his answers 🤯. It was torture to him and probably the worst hour of his life, but totally fascinating to me 😆. (He’s a 1 and I’m a 7 for anyone into that).

We are quite different but it works. I’m glad it does.

How long did you wait to get engaged? 💍

Every time Grandma Nan comes to town Jayda has one

Every time Grandma Nan comes to town Jayda has one request: We have to make her apple pie. Sadly this year she hasn’t had a chance to visit. It’s a secret family recipe that Jayda just about has down pat.

We each just got @PortalfromFacebook and were able to set it up in our kitchen and it seriously feels like she’s right there with us every step of the way. It has Smart Camera which automatically adjusts to keep her in frame as she’s running around the kitchen following directions and telling stories about her day. It’s a fun way to stay connected until we can hug each other in person again. #PortalPartner #PortalTraditions

When you win a bet against your husband because the sticky oatmeal came off of the dishes and he didn’t think it would without a pre-rinse.

#Cascade Platinum + Oxi for the win! That's how I make sure dishes that look clean are realllly clean. Cascade Platinum + Oxi is made with ingredients that are designed to break down starch and protein from stuck-on food, giving dishes a deep, hygienic clean. So when our breakfast dishes pile up, we can hurry and load - no need to pre-rinse (one less step, and water savings!) and our dishes come out looking AND feeling really, really clean.

What's your favorite thing to cook that is super tough to clean?

The wait was an hour and 15 minutes but it was worth it. First of all I didn’t have my kids with me. Combine that with a good audiobook and I coulda stood there another couple of hours and been just fine.

This election is important. As a small business owner I care about the economy. As someone who has been without insurance, I know the importance of affordable healthcare. Then throw in the fact that we’re a law enforcement family, and religious; I want us to do more for climate control for our planet and our kids’ future; I want to have better education for all kids, even and especially if that means more options and choices for families; I’m accepting others no matter where they come from or who they love…

I honestly don’t feel like this election is as simple as some people make it out to be. It’s OK if it is for you, but I’m not one of those people who will call you names, unfriend you or be disrespectful because your vote may not match mine. Fine if that’s how you roll, it’s just not who I am, nor the example I want to set for my children.

My vote on the presidential ballot came down to one of the most important issues to me which is unity. And that’s where I’ve been consistent most of my life. Ultimately I voted for bringing us together and not further divide us. That may not be your biggest issue, but it matters to me.

We’ve heard A LOOOOOT of opinions over the last several months. The great thing is you can make that opinion count by taking it to the ballot box.

Whatever happens, I did my part and I hope you will too. I’m hopeful that regardless of the outcome, people choose to treat people better. Less dehumanizing talk, more civility and respect for one another and leaders who are good examples. I can’t control the outcome but I can control how I respond to the results. We all can.

In my stories today I’m sharing what the early voting experience was like in my part of town, and some tips on how you can get informed on EVERYTHING on your ballot (not just the presidential election) before you head to the polls.

Do you have a plan to vote? 🗳

Please keep the comments civil. We should be able to disagree and not disrespect.

“What does anyone in this family know about normal?!” <— who said that?

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here plotting how I can bribe my family to cooperate for another family costume this year. Wish me luck 😜.

A couple of years ago it rained and rained on Hall

A couple of years ago it rained and rained on Halloween and my kids didn’t do much trick-or-treating. We still managed to have a lot of fun, and we hope to do the same this year!

Whether you’re planning on staying in or going out, here are some ideas that are SURE to be a treat on Halloween. First, grab some @SunMaid Sour Raisin Snacks that taste like sour candy but are made with whole fruit with NO added sugar. Their special limited-edition packaging GLOWS IN THE DARK, all you have to do is place the package for 5-10 seconds under a blacklight and about 15-30ish seconds if you use a flashlight or your smartphone. They are available for purchase online only for a limited time so be sure to order them while you can. They come in a special variety pack that includes 24 fun size pouches with 12 strawberry and 12 blue raspberry flavors, and makes these activities extra fun:

1. A spooky Halloween movie
2. Hide and Seek Trick for your Treats in the Dark
3. Glow in the Dark Halloween Dance Party
4. Costume Fashion Show
5. Pumpkin Decorating

Have any other ideas to keep this Halloween safe and fun?

And head over to my blog for more fun ideas, link in bio!
