  • Warning ⚠️ Somewhat personal post so if you don’t care to read, just enjoy this picture of my chickens beautiful eggs 😍 taking special note of the giant one! So, as you know, I adore my chickens! They are the coolest! My husband, who is a super smart businessman, have helped my girls start a legitimate egg business that they have named ‘Little Eggsteins’ (Cue the Little Einstein’s song 😂)! They have an Excel spreadsheet so that they can track their profit and expenses and learn the ins and outs of the costs of doing business. They stay on top of their regular egg subscribers and have a solid waitlist. Now the funny thing is is that these girls of mine are serious about making a profit so early on poor Dad had to negotiate with them that he gets to have a little crate that is stocked with 3 so that he can enjoy these fresh eggs too (swipe right to see his ‘Dad’s 3’ 😅😍). So a couple of days ago my girls discovered that one of our chickens had laid a giant egg! And I mean giant! So of course this house hold went crazy! We felt like we had won the lottery and it got me to thinking that we really did win the lottery because we were choosing to! You hear all the time about how life is what you make of it and more and more these days that saying has really hit home. Since I got stung by a scorpion 9 months ago I have been battling through endless health issues and the main being that I suddenly have allergic reactions to almost all foods, like literally. 8 months ago I was down to eating 4 foods, olive oil and salt. Today I am up to 20 foods! I could choose to complain or I can choose to celebrate the fact that with 20 foods I can now eat some super yummy combinations! This last month when I had the crazy reaction on my face and ended up in the ER, I could harbor anger or I could focus on gratitude that we have such easy access to medical care!! And celebrate that my face is starting to look like my face again- woohoo!! I could chose to stay home and let Satan win or I can say ‘Not today Satan!’ and keep pushing forward and do it with joy! So I just want to encourage you to pick joy, look for the silver lining in things and celebrate it! #joy

  • So this is totally random but I woke up thinking, poor Tuesday gets no attention! Monday is dreaded, Wednesday is celebrated as making it half way, Thursday means it is almost Friday and then Saturday and Sunday are the most loved..... and then there is poor Tuesday 😢🤣. And I literally cannot think a way to give it attention 🤔 How about you? Thoughts on Tuesday? #randomthoughts #tuesday #showtuesdaysometrespect #daysoftheweek #simplykristinaleigh #design #bathroom #marble #furniturevanity #building #vesselsink #gooddecisions

  • Can you drown under the weight of endless laundry??? I am starting to think so 😫😅...the last couple of days have been a DOZIE for this household and it looks like we may have a couple of more days of it 😳😫😳....the stomach flu decided to ravage our home and in the midst of it I got random hives on my face and had a reaction to the cream for the little hives so I used a new cream that I had an even worse reaction to that blew my face up 😳and off to the ER I went!?! My face is crazy scary looking right now BUT if it returns to normal I think I will look back at this and get a good laugh about my reaction to a reaction to a reaction 🤣🤣🤣.... #laundryneverends #stomachfluisawful #crazysensitiveskin #ihopeigetmyfaceback #joyinitall #gratefulformodernmedicine #laundryroom #laundrybasket #woodbacksplash #design #simplykristinaleigh
