Miracles
I am a mother of a child with a heart defect & I have witnessed miracles. I have stood in awe watching her tiny heart beating in her chest. I have gazed into the eyes of children & have seen many souls wise beyond their years. While each of these miracles has made me a better person they have also brought me to my knees. Help our CHD Family spread awareness for all our CHD warriors & angels

I love my daughter!!
CHD stands for Congenital Heart Defects. It also stands for open-heart surgeries, needles, tubes, wires, hospital stays, numerous doctor appointments & medications for life. You can't tell when a child has a Congenital Heart Defect, their clothes cover up their scars, covering the truth. My child has a CHD & she will always be my hero. Please join me during the month of February in spreading CHD awareness!

a favorite meal
since I have been at home, I have been getting more creative with our meals. But one of our old favorites is still a current favorite. It is a simple meal too. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray cookie sheet with a non stick spray. I use thin chicken breasts or chicken tenders. Place your chicken on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with basil, oregano, parsley and cilantro to taste.
Now, quarter potatoes (i use 2-3 depending on size) and put in large mixing bowl. add Dijon style mustard, olive oil, green onions, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. again, this is to taste because some will like a lot or just a little of these ingredients. Mix these with your potatoes. Place the potatoes on the cookie sheet with your chicken.
Place in oven for 15 minutes. Turn your chicken and potatoes. Cook another 10-15 minutes. The thickness of your chicken will determine how long it will take to cook, but check every 10 -15 minutes so you don't dry out your chicken. Your potatoes may finished cooking first, IF your chicken is thick.
I usually steam some veggies or make mac & cheese to go with this.
Even Torie likes this meal!

working from home
I having been working from home since Carly was born. I have to admit, I love my job and helping patients BUT working from home has been so nice. I am thankful that I have a job I can do from home, a boss who is willing to let me work from home as long as I keep everything done.
Being a working at home mom has been good for our meals too. Lol. It has given me time to plan our meals and make sure Torie eats well-she is still such a picky eater sometimes. I have also had more time for those typical house hold chores..fun fun. No, really, it has been nice.
The girls (i love saying that!) are doing very well. Carly is a great sleeper. She sleeps most of the night, usually only waking up 1 time. She is calm and layed back. Torie has been home several days due to snow, and she has enjoyed being a big sister. She loves picking our Carly's sleepers and socks. And she is on top of it if Carly even whimpers-she'll run over there telling Carly "it's okay, it's okay baby Carly". These days are definitely some of the best days of our lives!
