Makin' Whoopie!!

There are some things that just make you go ummmm!

I'm talking Whoopie Pies people! I have to thank my girlfriend Stephanie for bringing back this old school treat into my life, that makes you feel like your eating a better version of those ho-ho's back in the day. She made them with this simple recipe and they are delicious and will not dissapoint! These clouds of yumminess can't help but make you smile.

These whoopie pies are following me. I happen to be at Oddfellows today, which is one of my favorite little lunch spots and great for getting a little work done with their free wi-fi. Only problem is, as you sit here, staring back at me from across the room, on their counter....almost like those Geico eyeballs on those cheezy commericals, are a platter of Whoopie pies!

Come to find out...they are even having a Whoopie Pie bake-off! Check it out here!

Just made me think of a fun afternoon activity to do with the kids...our own whoopie pie bake-off...I doubt we'll have anything to show for it!

Let me know how yours turn out!

Action...

Can't believe it's been 9 months since my last entry.

I have to tell you, it's been a TOUGH 9 months.

I am going through a divorce. Yup. There it is. It's been something that has defined the last 9 months for me...but you know what, I'm tired of that.

All of the fighting, drama, sadness, worry for my children, worry for my future etc, etc. It's exhausting.

I started this blog in Spring of 2009 because it was my way of somehow focusing on the light in my life, the little things that make me happy. I was in a marriage that was not right for either of us and I started to look outside of my 4 walls to somehow keep it together. I started working out again, I started writing this blog to look at the good in life....but the wheels came off the bus anyway.

When it's inevitable, it's inevitable.

My supergirl powers were not going to change it.

So, here I am. Still struggling to have consistent good days. Still struggling not to stress about my life, and the well-being of the two most important people in my life, their happiness, our future.

But I just got a note from a friend...Action she said...you work well in Action. So, I need to keep moving forward with my head up and realize the low points, when I have to hold my head in my hands, are okay....they won't last forever.

I decided to start writing again. Try my best to pick out those little nuggets of goodness around me to share...and instead of just disappearing during the dark days, I'll write about those too. Life is hard, and you do most of the growing through the painful parts. Guess that's what makes the good times that much sweeter.

Like my baby girls 5th birthday party this week. Now that is a nugget of goodness I adore!
