𝑯𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔. I've missed you guys. . Moments turned into months and here we are. 😶 . This last year has been full of peaks and valleys for me and my family. . 𝕎𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕀 𝕓𝕖𝕖𝕟? . If you're a member of the Eat The Burbs a Group on Facebook then you may recall me mentioning in June of last year that my Mother In-law was critically ill. Unfortunately, after months of fighting for her health, we lost her. As you can imagine we miss her and we are all grieving her loss. My children and husband have been incredibly resilient. . 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚 (𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙) . Our sunshine came in the cutest little package. After several years trying to get pregnant and giving up because I was now medically considered a "geriatric mom" since I'm over 35 (heh who knew 35 was so "old" 😒), we were blessed with a big surprise. I spent most of 2019 pregnant, balancing mom life and being a supportive spouse while fighting anxiety. We lost my mom years ago to an illness as well and the anxiousness I felt then came rushing back. . Something had to be put down so that we could thrive. That's why I backed away from social media and the highs and lows that go with it, in favor of more family time and reduced anxiety. 😵 . 𝙎𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬? . I've been making a list of some awesome restaurants to try. I'll be getting back to posting, so tag me at your favorite places. . After being a boy mom all these years, I finally have a baby girl 👶👶👶. I am so excited to dress her in the pinkest clothes ever. 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: I don't post pics of my kids on social unless they express an interest in being online and since she is too young, here's a peek. . So let's celebrate and have a little fun, what's the last good thing you've eaten? ⬇️

Hey there Insta Fam. 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬. 😍 Although I've been responding to DM's and even spending time with some of you on Facebook, I haven't really been posting much on Insta these days. - Last year, I committed to spending more time being 'present' with my family and loved ones. - Unfortunately, I had to decide what to put down for a little while. Insta was it. - So off I went to be more 'present' in the moment. Vacations with my kids, dinner dates with my hubby again and tons of creativity in the kitchen at home. - I've missed you guys so much and I appreciate those of you that hung in there with me. While I was away I even got these amazing signature red velvet cupcakes from my friend @thelytofhislyf baked by the fabulous @shaurice_2 They were delicious - Do you see those taffy apple grapes in the background? Ever had them? OMG best invention ever. - What's your favorite bakery, so I can visit them all? - So tell me, 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞? What'd you do with the extra time? ⬇️ #EatTheBurbs

But first, where have I been? - I've missed you guys on Instagram so much. I've been posting in my Instastories, but I haven't posted a pic here in months. Some of you have DM'd me to ask if all is well. You have no idea how much it means to me to be able to chat with you guys one on one. - Some asked why I wasn't posting, trust me, it wasn't because I wasn't eating. 😋 - Since starting all of this in 2013, not too long after my second child, this hobby has kept me very active with all of you here and on the website. - However, I haven't been practicing self-care. So I took some time to slow down a little and get my energy and thoughts in alignment. - Thank you to those of you that have continued to take this journey with me. It feels good to be back in the swing of things. There some awesome stuff in the works, coming soon. - How to enter:  1️⃣Like this Instagram post. 2️⃣Must follow @honeygrow & @eattheburbs 3️⃣Tag as many friends as you want as long as it’s in separate comments!  The winner will be announced in InstagramStories on July 29 after 3pm CST.
