Sisters. No matter the time or distance. No matter

Sisters. No matter the time or distance. No matter the struggles or changes. These two are inseparable. Sisters. When we bought our home last March, they begged us to only buy a house big enough so they could share a room. So, we did. Their room may be small and both girls gave up so much to make it work, but they don’t want it any other way. They are the best of friends. Sharing inside jokes, laughing until their bellies ache, sharing secrets, plenty of of girl talk and doing almost all activities together. The sisterhood they are developing right now will last them a lifetime. I am so thankful they have each other... and a daddy @glutenfree_dad that equally dotes on both of them. Daddy’s little girls. These sweet girls are such blessings. xoxo, Aimee

Allie-girl. As I refer to her. Today we celebrate

Allie-girl. As I refer to her. Today we celebrate 🥳 her turning 12. Two years ago, when @glutenfree_dad invited me into his world, it was a package deal. Him and his daughter. Before long, my heart ♥️ swelled bigger to capture her as part of our family. One of us. Abigail has the sister she always wanted... and Jack has a sister to keep Abigail entertained. It’s not always been easy... but this past, unexpected visit from Allie has been one of the smoothest transitions; especially considering the circumstances. I am in awe of how mature, thoughtful and kind Allie has become. How lovingly she blends right back into us. Helping with chores, enjoying all of my food with thank you’s and big smiles. She falls back into our schedule and lifestyle without question or hesitation. I know it’s not easy getting passed back and forth... and I will never, ever claim to be her mom. But, I will always refer to her as one of my kids. A daughter. I rarely use the word “step”... so, please forgive me. It’s not out of disrespect or to confuse... but because she genuinely is one of OUR children. One of OUR little girls. One of OUR responsibilities. I parent her alongside my husband. I help to raise her and guide her. I answer serious questions about life and faith and pre-teen changes. She trusts me and loves me and I will never jeopardize our relationship for anything. So, when I say that we raise our 3 children, it’s because we do. Lenny has become Jack and Abigail’s daddy and he is it. I help to raise Allie whether she’s here with us or away. It’s my obligation, my promise and I will never let that go. The happiest birthday to sweet, sweet Allie. xoxo, Aimee

Autoimmune diseases + chronic EBV + estrogen domin

Autoimmune diseases + chronic EBV + estrogen dominance + type A personality + recipe creator + website designer + diehard Jesus girl + 5’10” + entrepreneur + community builder. This is all just part of me. Hi, I’m Aimee and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve been here for any length of time, you know that I am still learning to share my story. I started a few years ago in an attempt to find my people. I refuse to believe I am alone and depend so much on having community to survive my days on earth. I have shared the hard, the frustrating, the discouraging. All of my autoimmune and raging Epstein Barr virus junk. Feel free to read old posts. I have shared about divorce, the impact, the single life and then @glutenfree_dad finding me. Putting words to my symptoms and emotions. Putting names to diseases that rest uneasily in my body and effect all areas of my life. Sharing the highs and lows. The overcoming and joy. Women that resonate with this... you are my people. I am thankful for this path and the good that has come from it. Giving thanks to God in all things. What can you relate with? Nothing? Everything? Tell me! ♥️

We are staying home 🏠. All 5 of us + 2 dogs. Ri

We are staying home 🏠. All 5 of us + 2 dogs. Riding it out family-style. We are resting, limiting screen time, playing more, cooking meals together. The beautiful ☀️ Virginia weather has our kids playing endlessly around the neighborhood. Scooters 🛴 and basketball 🏀 and lots of dog 🐕 🐕 walks. While inside, their wild creativity is leading to skits 🎭, drawing ✍🏻, crafting ✂️. Reading books in the same chair, watching family movies and eating popcorn 🍿. The good life. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 xoxo, Aimee

A few weeks ago, I completely overhauled my entire

A few weeks ago, I completely overhauled my entire life. Why? Well, I tend to only change things when I hit a wall. And I hit a big wall. For years I had convinced myself that being gluten free 🚫🌾 and lactose free 🚫🐄 was enough. I took my only medication 💊(which, by the way is 100% natural), a handful of supplements 🥤 (typically in a smoothie!), did my best to eat healthy and get enough rest. But I was stuck in a perpetual ferris wheel 🎡-like motion, not ever really making progress. My blood tests were moderate... for someone as sick as me. My nutrient 🥬and vitamin 🍏 deficiencies were again, normal considering how sick I was. But, it wasn’t good enough for me and I was tired of the symptoms 😴 😷 🤕 that plagued me. I hated the impact this had on my amazing husband @glutenfree_dad and our 3 pre-teen 👦🏼👩🏼👧🏻 kids. For years, I’ve had to say “NO” more... I had to stay behind... I had to under-commit, and even then I sometimes couldn’t. I felt like I was always telling them how tired I was or overwhelmed I felt with just day-to-day activities. Yes, something had to change. So, I did. Today has been 3️⃣ full weeks of following through on my complete overhaul. I can say with absolute certainty, that I feel better 🌟than I ever have in the past 10 years. 😍😍😍 My energy ⚡️has bounced back, my mind 🧠 is sharp and focused, my hormones 📊 are balancing and my antibodies have continued to drop. I am on a relentless pursuit to get healthy and stay healthy. No, it’s not easy... but yes, it’s absolutely worth it all. What are some things that you do to stay healthy? I’m all ears. xoxo, Aimee
