♫ I met Kandee ♫


Last Thursday night (8Sept11) I had the privilege of meeting one of my inspirations.  I knew that she was going to be in New York City for Fashion Week, and that she was having a meet up sometime while she was there.  I didn't, however, know that I would be one of the girls who would be standing in the "Kandee Family" line waiting to be graced by her sweetness :).  
Earlier in the day I had randomly sent a text message to my husband that I wanted to go to New York that night, and he surprised me with saying, "Why not?".  The rest of the day I was trying to talk myself out of it. Feeling unsure of whether driving a few hours just to meet someone, who doesn't know me, for just a mere 3-5 minutes was worth it.  Let me tell you, IT WAS WORTH IT!!!  
I didn't really know what to say when I met her (surprise surprise haha), but she grabbed me up and hugged me a million times, and made me feel like we were forever friends :).  
It is kind of funny because her fame has built from youtube  and makeup, but being someone who isn't all that into makeup, I still love her!  Her personality is captivating, watching her on video feels like I am watching my best friend.  She is so silly and bubbly, and one of the most inspiring people I NOW have ever met.  She has helped me realize what I want to do with my life, and some how through the screen of my computer, has encouraged me to follow my dreams.  
I know that she has millions of followers, and every one of us has our own story, but it would be so amazing to be able to sit down with her and tell her how much she has impacted my life.  I feel kinda silly saying that, but it is completely true.  She is a real person, what we see on video, and read in her blogs is real..and that's what made my experience so special. 
I know there are a ton of "haters" out there that want to run her through the mud, I feel sorry for those people.  They can't possibly get any satisfaction from the hurtful things they say, because she always comes out of it with a smile.  There are soo many more people that adore her than there are that don't.  
Life changing moments.
I was speechless (nerd)!

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
