Relationships.
Some are hard. Some come easy. Some end. Some grow.
As I’m getting older I am learning the importance of quality over quantity in this area. That may seem like common sense, but honestly, relationship building takes time and sometimes I just don’t want to devote time to it. Certain relationships you need to (ie spouse, children, family) take the time to build on them, help Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11373476717761129867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441244723258823228.post-71014926776350996922018-12-31T14:03:00.003-05:002018-12-31T21:08:35.977-05:00And Just Like That
When did I blink and seem to miss everything?
Yes that is such a cliche thing to say at this time of year, but I really mean it.
How did Christmas come and go and 2019 is around the corner? I just gave birth to the human that was growing inside of me for a majority of 2017. Then blink, it's been a year. And what a year it has been.

I saw those words while scrolling through posts on Instagram for National Breastfeeding Week. Which is August 1st through 7th. So I wanted to write a bit more about my experience.
How true are those words though. It is a natural, normal thing the female body does. Why is it so frowned upon in society.

Neiko can almost sit up all on his own. He loves to bounce around now, as in using his legs to jump, all the time, even while laying, haha. Some teeth might be coming in any day now because everything and I mean everything goes in his mouth and he bites, like really bites.

First off you are probably wondering where the name Neiko even came from. Well, it was a nickname of Nick's growing up. His mom would call him Nico. One morning Nick mentioned he no longer liked the name Bruce, yes he was going to be Bruce at one time, and then Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11373476717761129867noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441244723258823228.post-24322529477255240022017-09-11T11:46:00.000-04:002017-09-11T11:50:39.549-04:00Oh What a New Chapter I am InThat's for sure.
With my past, all the harm an eating disorder does on your body (even if it was "good" intentions that started it, harm is still done), I had come to terms with the possibility of not conceiving. Even Nick was open to the idea of adoption (not saying that door has closed) and my mom was getting use to grand-beardies.
But God is great and can use any situation for His good.

Why, because it hit me hard. It perfectly explains my current life situation to a tee.

I just recently finished my second semester in grad school. Yay! Getting one step closer to finishing is awesome but still daunting. This semester I was in an Integrative Nutrition course.

Why?
Because I don't know how much I really want to share or how much people would really want to read.

As you can see I made some changes to the blog- updated the background, got rid of somethings that I didn't need, and changed my description to: Food, Faith, and Fitness. My intentions behind all of this is to make a fresh start, revamp my blog, and to broaden topics I can touch on here.
