The Very Random Link up. What a day in your life looks like.

Hey lovelies!! Welcome to the Very Random Link up!! Can you believe this is the last Tuesday of February?
I would say I'm in disbelief but I'm way to excited! First comes March and then comes April and then comes one happy girl who's been hibernating all winter because of the cold! Seriously guys, I'm not one to complain. I always try to see things have full but this winter has been awful and the coldest it's ever been in like a million years! And maybe I could have enjoyed it much better if I was more prepared for winter but I wasn't.. I know next time!

Any who lets get back to the link up shall we?

The very random Link up is not your ordinary link up. We will be doing topics different months.
Example: A vlogging month, about me month, and trying new recipes month.

Today's question is:
What does a day in your life look like?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>><><><><>><>

4:00AM) I get up, Brew my coffee and eat my favorite meal of the day. After that I read my bible, my devotionals and journal while listening to worship music.


5:30Am) I usually work on my Ebook along with catching up on blogging and scheduling blogs ahead of time. 

6:30-7:00 Am)I usually start to hear little noises from my little love who's ready to get up and start her day. I usually let her chill for a bit before giving her breakfast because sometimes she needs time alone to wake up and during that time I usually read her a Psalm.

7:30 Am) After Breakfast Evelynne usually plays with her toys and watches Mickey mouse or Barney. If it were warmer out we'd do our walks around this time too!
 
This would also be the time my tired man in uniform comes home from work. I'll make his breakfast and he goes to bed.

8:00Am) If Evelynne has a morning nap this is around the time she has it. And if she does this is the time when I usually read some blogs and drink my second cup of coffee.

9:00Am) Evelynne should be up and she usually has her first snacks. After that we play and usually we're having a play date at this time with some friends.

11:00Am) Because both Evie and I wake up so early we usually eat on the earlier end so this is lunch time.

12-1:00 Pm) Evelynne goes down for her afternoon nap while I work on my future Etsy Business and house cleaning if need be.

2-2:30Pm) Evie should be up and ready for her second snack. For snack time she usually gets anything from fruit, smoothies, and little finger foods. If I'm not done with house chores I usually let her watch more TV so I can finish up. I am so incredible guilty of letting Evie watch to much TV during the winter. Because we can't really go outside to play with it being so cold it's really all we can do right now.. Plus it's Educational!

3:00Pm) If we do some music this is the time we usually do it and sometimes we do it early in the morning to with play time. I turn some worship music on and we dance around the house like Disney Princess' haha! Also sometimes I'll try to play some guitar.

4:00Pm) This is the time I usually  start dinner. My goal is to have dinner done at 5:00pm.

5:00pm) If there's no complications dinner should be ready. During this time of year we usually have lots of soups. Sometimes Leon eats with us and sometimes he doesn't. It really depends on what time he wakes up.

6:00Pm) Right now usually the dishes are done from dinner and Evie and I are in chill mode. I bath her and we play for a bit and because she'll actually chill for a bit I usually watch "Your baby can read" with her and after that we watch some Lindsey Stirling on youtube.

7-7:30pm) Evelynne is usually ready for bed at this time.. If Leon's up he'll put her to bed. Sometimes she refuses and other times she just lays down with a smile and I definitely prefer those!

8:00Pm) At this time it is the only husband and wife time we get.. and sometimes we don't even get this. So we usually just lay in bed together and snuggle and just appreciate each others company.

8:30-9:00Pm) I say goodbye to my dear hubby and I go to bed.

Note: This isn't my everyday schedule of course. Some days it's jammy days, other days it's cleaning days and sometimes I just have off days. But it's my usual schedule. 

What do your days normally look like?



Month topic.
March 4th 60.
For the month of March we are doing a topic called 60. Where we  do a vlogging game where we ask 60 questions in 60 seconds and you have to answer as much as possible!  Are you up for the challenge?

The Very Random Link Up {The Girl behind the blog month}




Hey guys!!! Welcome to The very random Link up #7! I'm so excited about this one because it gives me the opportunity to share some passions that I don't normally blog about. However, I want to start! Today's the day right?

What is a passion that you have that you don't normally blog about? 


Well folks, I have two passions that mean so much to me and that is so close to my heart.. I know what you're thinking. "Then why don't you blog about them?"  And you're right! I should blog more about them and I definitely plan to.


Something I don't mention on here to much is my love for worship and dance! Worship is honestly my prayer life and that's how I pray 99% of the time is through music and dancing. It's honestly super hard for me to pray using just words but when I worship them the words just come to me. I play guitar somewhat but find it difficult to sing and play at the same time.. and I'd love to learn the piano and bongos!

Another one is the pro life movement       
Yes, I am 10000000% pro-life and it's one topic that I will willingly go in debate with and thanks to my tattoo above it has created many opportunities for me to spread the word about abortion.. Like my tattoo artist.  He asked me why I chose feet? And I answered the feet are dedicated to all the unborn children who did not have the opportunity to walk the earth, who's rights were taken away from them.My passion isn't just for the unborn children but also the moms who made the decision to abort them..  I feel as though they are judged by so many when in reality they just need to be loved. When I have the opportunity  I'd love to volunteer at a pregnancy clinic.

The very random Link up is not your ordinary link up. We will be doing topics different months.
Example: A vlogging month, about me month, and trying new recipes month.

One of my most favorite things about blogging is the relationships that come with it. the relationships that start out as a fellow blogger and turns into  a friend or even  a sister.

That is what these two ladies above have become in the last year. We've started out as fellow bloggers, to friends, to sisters and it is just so so amazing how God could use such a thing as blogging to bring us together. and we want that same relationship with you. That's why Sarah and I decided to start this fun random link up is because we wanted to find fun ways to get to know you and meet more of you! Will you join our very random community?

2/25/14  What does a day in your life look like?

               
Have fun and Link up!

The very Random Link Up #6 "The Girl behind the blog".

Before I go anything further.. I want to wish my favorite person in the whole world a Happy 23rd Birthday!!!
               
Happy Birthday Leon! God has seriously shown me favor by blessing me with you for my husband.Words can't even describe my love and admiration for you.. Evie and I are so incredibly blessed to have you as the man in our lives!

Now where were we?? Oh yea!!

It's Tuesday!! Which means it's time for The Very Random Link up!!
Hosted by me and my girl Sarah!  

Did you happen to see her recipe from lasts week link up!?! It's a must try!!!

Today's question is:
 Who is your favorite person & why?

My most favorite person in the whole world is someone I have admired greatly since day one.

He loves the Lord with all of His Heart And His fire for God is so contagious.

He is a missionary Police officer in the most dangerous district in our state and is changing so many lives down there. And then he comes home to his wife and beautiful daughter.

This man is my husband.
He isn't just my favorite person  because he's my husband by the way.. He's my favorite person because he was by best friend before he was my hubby wubby! 

He is the only one who can bring out the "man" laugh in me.
 He irritates me like no other!
He likes to surprise me with Starbucks every now and then.
He knows when to be gentle towards me and he knows when to be straight forward.

Leon Balances me as a person.. He's got my back in the places I struggle in. Like organization, being prepared, and learning to enter the fast paced life sometimes when I'd rather just slow down. We are so different and it's a good thing! 

Leon is such a hard worker! I always enjoy watching him work not just because he's a major hunk but also because I love to see him put his all into something. When he's task minded he doesn't stop until he's finished. I've always thought he would be amazing at opening his own landscaping business because yard work is his specialty! Not so much as planting but he sure knows how to make things look beautiful along with hard work such as digging and all that man stuff. But God had other plans for Him to become an officer.

           

       
Leon is a wonderful Husband and Father! He tries his hardest to give us his all when he's off and the way he is with Evie just melts me sometimes.

 Again we balance each other out as parents and we are constantly learning from each other. Disciplining for instance. Evie use to have mama wrapped around her finger and I used to call Leon a military discipliner. We really had to come together to be in oneness about how we would handle things when I was letting her get away with to much and he wasn't letting her breath without his permission haha. Finally, I came up and he came down.. And instead of butting heads in parenting we balance each other wonderfully!

He's also the roller coaster daddy for sure!
He does everything that Evie loves that mama is to afraid to do haha!
              
             
Who is your favorite person and why?
 
    2/18 What is a passion that you have that you don't normally blog about? 
              

          Have fun and Link up!

The very random Link up. #5 The girl behind the blog.

Welcome back for The very random Link up hosted by yours truly and my dear friend Sarah
This is our 5th edition and our 2nd topic which is called "The girl behind the blog"


                                                Yep, This month is all about you!! You excited yet?
                                                                                   I am!!
                                 

The very random Link up is not your ordinary link up. We will be doing topics different months.
Example: A vlogging month, about me month, and trying new recipes month.

One of my most favorite things about blogging is the relationships that come with it. the relationships that start out as a fellow blogger and turns into  a friend or even  a sister.
That is what these two ladies above have become in the last year. We've started out as fellow bloggers, to friends, to sisters and it is just so so amazing how God could use such a thing as blogging to bring us together. and we want that same relationship with you.

Today's question is:
What is your favorite recipe?
 Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! Not just because It's my first but also because it's the only meal I get to eat in peace and quiet. Where it's just me, Jesus and my cup of coffee. (unless Evie decides to wake up  extra early)

I've recently been on the search to finding oatmeal I liked.. Before we had Evelynne we ate instant oatmeal which is  good and all but I saw that the sugar and artificial content is pretty much just as bad as sugary cereals or even a desert!

Leon and I are working on a new lifestyle to eat more natural foods with less to zero artificial. We want to eat as natural as possible! That's when I found this oatmeal recipe that is not only filled with fruit but it's also delicious and it is perfect for eaters that can be a bit picky sometimes *caugh *caugh Evelynne and Leon.

Yes, my pepper shaker and little love even like my oatmeal which is amazing and I think maybe even a miracle! It's really good.. Especially on snow days like the ones we've been having.

What's that? Enough talking and get on with the recipe?? If you say so!
Best oatmeal ever recipe. (Because I forgot the actual name!)

You will need:
  • 2 cups water
  • 2/3 cup oatmeal, not instant
  • 1 pear, peeled, cored and cubed
  • 1 apple,  peeled, cored and cubed
  • 1/3 cup dried cherries, chopped.
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins, chopped.
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
To do:
In a pot bring the water to a boil and add the rest of the ingredients listed. Simmer on medium low for 10 to 15 minutes or until the pears and apples are tender.
You can either serve now or puree in a food processor or blender for younger babies.  Add more water if needed.

If making this strictly for baby you will have plenty of left over. Pour into an ice-cube tray. Cover with plastic wrap or ice-cube tray cover. Place in freezer and when frozen remove from trays. Store in freezer bags. Each cube is 1 ounce. Will store in freezer for 3 months or in the refrigerator for 3 days.

I still can't get over how much my family loves this recipe. It's defiantly a keeper for my 14 month old and the rest of us!
              2/11    Who is your favorite person & why?
     2/18      What is a passion that you have that you don't normally blog about?
