My Eeny Weeny Blog (More about me)


When I started this blog it was shortly after

my gastric sleeve surgery. I blogged a long time before

that running an extreme coupon blog and Facebook page.

Between working and taking care of the kids I couldn’t

keep up with the couponing blog.


This blog was created to help people, eating better, exercise etc.

It has now changed and shaped into just more than that.

I share my own personal stories, struggles and I love

to share recipes, DIY and more.


As you all have noticed by now I am also sharing animals,

Scentsy and so much more. I know I have an about section

but let me take a minute to talk about me.


I just turned 45 this year and for some reason I feel it.

I have bone spurs in both my shoulders and knees,

I have back pain that doesn’t stop along with tendinitis

in both of my feet. I am now starting with severe ankle

issues and my wrists are getting bad.


My son has Ehlers Danlos, which I will be making posts

about as well as most Dr’s have not heard of it. I intend on

getting tested for that as well. I have not been hard

on my body, most of my jobs consisted of customer

service so not standing. I didn’t power lift (like my hubby did).

There must be a rhyme or reason to the pain I feel.


I went to see a specialist to get tested for RA, I passed

by 1 point so he would not consider me testing

positive for RA, needles to say there are a few

specialists that I should probably see and get second opinions.

Okay done with the griping. Let me tell you a little bit more about me.


I have been married for 25 years to the love of my life, we

have 3 amazing children that we are proud of.

Our youngest is getting ready to join the Navy and as a mom

I am scared but couldn’t be happier for him.


I currently have 1 granddaughter with a grandson on the way

due in December which should make Christmas interesting.


Since my weightloss surgery I have gained 30 pounds

back and it really bothers me. I want to lose weight but

there are a few things that need to happen. 1. I need to go

back to healthy eating and 2. I need to get my butt back into the gym.

I love cardio but struggle doing anytype of lifting due to joint issues.


We also have a zoo at the house. I love taking care of the reptiles,

amphibians and more. I also love blogging, it is great for my

depression and I look at it as once I am gone my kids

will have my recipes, thoughts and more.


Feel free to ask any questions about me or to

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
