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

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
