This is so true. After being sick for 2 years where eating was a painful experience, I appreciate food in such a different way now. The little bites of perfection are what I crave now.

@andymorrison It is SO incredible how fast and organized they were! I'm so excited for her!!

@Fat_Cookie Let the adventure begin!

My daughter is entering the plumbing trade. She has no experience but is taking classes. She applied for an Assembly Helper job 3 days ago - they called her immediately, had her interview this am, and got the job this afternoon. It's FT, $18/hr, full benefits, and 401k.🪠

Heavenly Father, We come before you seeking the fire to endure and the light to see ahead. Our spirits feel tired, and the mountain before us looks steep. Grant us the strength to keep our feet moving when they are heavy. Let our hearts be a fortress that does not crumble under pressure. Fill us with hope that defies current circumstances. When we see only shadows, help us remember the dawn. Let hope be the anchor that keeps us steady in the storm. Help us overcome the odds stacked against us. We know that with you, the impossible becomes a path. Give us the courage to face every giant, the wisdom to find the way through, and the resilience to rise every time we fall. We are not defined by the struggle, but by the victory you have already promised. Amen. Tomorrow is a big day. Good night, Virginia. ❤️

Please pray for Virginia. Pray for our people. Our communities. Pray that Virginians are not served up to the political machine, and that our voices are not taken away. Pray for those fighting the good fight. Pray that those fighting to silence us for political gain realize it's wrong. Pray that our country's birthplace doesn't fall. Thank you.

Keep surging! Get everyone you know out to polls to VOTE NO!

I actually grew up this way as well and loved it because I had a lot of cousins and some of the best memories and I never felt excluded. But I totally understood my MILs point about everyone being at the same table bc I think her childhood was very different. I do love all the traditions that everyone has and so glad you have such great memories of that time with family.

@Fat_Cookie @HistoryBoutique There was a kids table at my grandparents homes b/c of lack of space, right beside the adult table, we were expected to behave & not forget our manners, any goofing around, we had multiple glaring eyes upon us. We had to eat what was put in front of us without fuss. I survived.

I was in a nice restaurant in Paris and my 9 month old baby girl started crying. An older woman, the owner, power walked up to me with her arms stretched out, speaking French, and grabbed my baby and held her against her cheek. So sweet, in broken english, she demanded I sit down and enjoy my meal and that she would take care of her new little princess. They both looked so happy after a few minutes of pacing, and I swear the chef prepared a comically large, full chicken and mashed potatoes for my bay girl of which she had half of all over her face within minutes. This was not the only time on my trip that an older woman stopped what she was doing to help us. I walked into a bar, midday, asking to use their bathroom changing table. They laughed and said that was not a thing in Paris. They moved everything off of the bar and insisted I change her diaper right there. Gross right? Nobody in the bar was phased!! They looked happy to be helpful! It was embarrassing to accept help at first until I realized that it was truly their pleasure and their culture. (Now that a couple of my kids are looking more like adults than babies, I get it. You miss having those babies around.) I LOVE helping women with their babies. I do not claim to know any more than them, but sometimes it just takes someone who is “not mama” to distract them. And for the parents, this empathy means the absolute world. I rarely experience family friendly moments like this, even in the South. Asheville restaurants have turned away my very well dressed family, and even said comments like “we’re not that family friendly. You should try the pizza place down the street.” We went to Kiawah Island every summer for years, but after multiple experiences of being turned away after them seeing we have a toddler with us, I am done. It’s really sad because it’s not just the restaurants fault, it’s our culture that is allowing this to happen. If people were excited to see children in public, their restaurants would follow their lead. I would love to get back to traditional southern culture, where children and babies are welcomed members of society. Where it is not just OK to bring them out of the home, it is encouraged. I would love to get back to a culture of community.

@TheShawnHendrix Quercetin is the best. Works so well!

Help!

@TheWarKitchen At Costco the other day and every packaged food was protein this and protein that. Stuff didn’t even make sense. It was obnoxious and people were buying it like sheep. Marketing departments are definitely winning.

You da real superfood For real tho, it's crazy how ANYTHING is a superfood these days. Everyone always talks about nuts, seeds and grain but nobody mentions the real foods that actually move the needle. These are a selection of foods that deserve the superfood title (relax, don't judge the affogato selection until you've tried one - it has the unique ability of changing the trajectory of your day 🤭). Superfoods in my opinion are foods that make you feel AMAZING after you've consumed them. They're foods you want to have in your rotation. They nourish you deeply and give your body the right building blocks for better health. What makes your list of superfoods?

@ScottPresler Chesterfield County, please!! 🇺🇸

After South Dakota, I’m returning to Virginia to do in-person events across the Commonwealth. I’ll definitely be coming to Fairfax, Richmond, & Virginia Beach. Where else should I go?

VOTE NO VIRGINIA!

Hard to conjure up a more ridiculous, worthless, empty, politician-like statement.
