Somewhere Out There



So I have made a few diary entries lately about my birth family finding me. My last post was about it being a blessing and a curse. It is great having a brother to talk to when you grew up always wanting a sibling. The whole parent thing is another story!

When I was really young I use to think about what it would be like to know my birth parents, I questioned like any child would “why was I given up”, when I was really young I use to hear the song Somewhere Out There and think I wonder if they are thinking of me?

As I got older I didn't think about it much. My parents are awesome, my childhood was great, my husband is my best friend and my kids are healthy and loved. When my first son was born I did think about medical issues; I'm adopted I have/had no clue what runs in my biological family. So that part weighed on me. I honestly had no interest in finding my birth parents.

Now that they have been found my biological mother is really getting to me and I don't know why I am letting it bother me so much? When she first found me she took pictures of me off my Facebook page and posted them to hers saying “my beautiful daughter” she has taken pictures of the kids posting “my grand-kids” we have never talked over the phone, only on Facebook messenger. 2 weeks ago today was the last time I heard from her, for days she was messaging me so concerned because my hubby was sick and had the rona test (which came back negative) but while we were waiting on the test she was messaging me a lot. As soon as the hubs posted he was in the clear I never heard from her since.

Now I don't know the thoughts that would run through your head as a mother who gave her child up for adoption, I've never done it. I would think you would want to get to know that child though, at least I know I would. Also seeing as how I was the one given up, I honestly don't feel in my heart that it is my place to try and force a relationship. I feel that if she wants one she needs to reach out to me. Maybe she feels the same way I really don't know. All I know is every time I see her like something I share on Facebook I get upset wondering why she can't message me and even just say Hi?

I hope one day I can figure this out, I want to be at peace no matter how it plays out, I just want to be at peace!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
