Sugar and Spice Baby Shower

I had the lovely opportunity to throw a baby shower with my oldest sister Lindsey for my twinner Kelsey. We decided to go with the theme of "Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice." It was so much fun and I'll be honest made me super baby hungry! I am so excited to become an Aunt again, and even more excited to meet baby Mia. Yay for baby girls!

Here are some highlights from the shower, it really did turn out super cute!

We had a headband making station to add to this little girl's SPARKLE! So no matter where she goes she will leave a little sparkle! All of the headbands turned out so different and so cute! 





I had so much fun making a fabric garland (and it totally matches Mia's bedding made by Nana Cunningham). It has floral fabric, gold triangle fabric, lilac fabric, gold glitter ribbon, gold and cream polka-dot fabric. It turned out so cute, I am quite proud (not to sound conceited or anything). 

For food we wanted to stick with the "Sugar and Spice" theme. So I made pumpkin bars, Lindsey made pumpkin cupcakes with what I hear, to die for frosting (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them.) We also had yummy caramel dip and apples, and my sister Courtney made delicious cinnamon and sugar almonds. 



Look at her, 5 weeks left and still super tiny and gorgeous!



Well Kelso I am so happy we got to share this wonderful day with you! Baby Mia got so many cute things, I can't wait to see what she looks like. Although I am super excited to one day become a mom, being an Aunt is absolutely the best,  I can spoil my nieces and nephews and then return them at the end of the day.

Living with Type 1 diabetes

Hey friends! This blog is dedicated to all of those who are suffering from yet living a full  and normal life with Type 1 diabetes. With a life long disease, isn't it wonderful to live in a time where we will find a cure one day for this disease? The technology is amazing and continues to help all of those who who have diabetes live a normal life. I would like to explain what it is like living with an autoimmune disease such as Type 1 diabetes. A normal day for a diabetic: Wake up, shower, get ready Test blood sugar, good number Prepare breakfast Count carbs Bolus Prepare lunch Count carbs Go to work Drink water Lunch time Test blood sugar, good number Bolus Back to work Drink water Clock out, go home Test blood sugar Go to the gym Test blood sugar, good number Eat snack Count Carbs Bolus Prepare dinner Test blood sugar, good number Eat dinner Count carbs Bolus Get ready for bed Test blood sugar, good number, no snack Go to bed Repeat. Wait... that...

The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of  2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a...

Personal Thought: A simple prayer answered

I had an experience a few weeks ago that helped me realize the power of prayer. This is kind of personal (not kind of... it is very personal), but I wanted to share it and maybe someone could benefit from it. For a while I have had abnormal bleeding (for long periods of time), not thinking really anything of it, I ignored it for months actually. At times it would be pretty painful, took some IB Profin, and I ignored it. I was talking to someone who said that with the IUD that I had, that bleeding that bad was not normal. Again, I didn't think anything of it. Spencer and I have been talking about our future family and this came up in conversation. Spencer is not as excited about starting our family this young but I am all over it. I was surprised when he asked me to go get it checked out, because something could be wrong. It took for me to hear him say that to go schedule an appointment. Of course I looked online of what it could possibly be and then I got nervous. I had be...
