Food Glorious Food

 It’s been one week since we figured out our oven still worked after not being able to use it for almost three years!! SMH . And every since then I have been cooking up a storm lol! I’m telling you that sometimes it really is the little things that can make you happy!! 

My Tabitha Brown Video has gone viral!

 

Nearly 500 views may not seem like a lot to some, but to me it’s just amazing lol. I did a video on my lifestyle channel with Marc and Nicki taste testing Tamara Browns newest launch for Target. Little did I know it would do so well. Keep in mine my channel on has like 23 subs (love all my family and friends who have supported me). So I thought at best I would maybe see around 24 or at the most 51 views. At the time of this blog post I have hit almost 500 views! I asked my daughter what is happening?? She said Auntie Tab (that’s what she calls her lol). Nicki actually got to see her in person in Tabithas home town last year thanks in part to her godparents who knew how much she loved her. Tabitha has even reposted some of Nicki’s video post about her on her Instagram. Anyway, long story short…even though I said I wasn’t going to post except maybe every two or three weeks I couldn’t let this day go by without acknowledging the Tab factor (at least that’s what I’m calling it lol).

Happy New Year

 

One thing I promised myself at the end of the year was that I would start to document me life again here on my blog. I have really missed doing this, but every time it I would start again something would happen and I would lose my passion to start back up again. The difference this year is that I have started a Lifestyle vlog so I would like to connect the two so here I am again. Hopefully some of my internet friends will check it out, but mostly I am doing this for myself because I miss being able t go back and see what I was up to. For the time being I think I will just do a bi-weekly wrap up (crossing fingers lol).

This photo was from Christmas and it was the best one we have had in a very long time (mostly because most of my family was together under one roof). We did actually spend the week after Christmas with my mom and you will get to see bits of it through my vlogs (which probably won't come out until February since I am trying to keep my videos in order). So if you would like to keep up with my vlogs just go over to Life and Times With Cyndi on YouTube. 

Starting over again!!

 

So much of our life has changed in the last few years since Marc’s stroke. Last week we visited my sister and her family on the beach and it dawned on me how long it had been since we took a photo together. Between health issues and covid we have pretty much been isolated from day to day living life to the fullest. It’s one of the reasons I found it so hard to blog anymore. But I have to admit I miss documenting our life ( even the boring parts lol). So I’m going to give it the old college try and start sharing again. Does anyone even still blog anymore?? It really doesn’t matter because mostly I’m doing this for myself so I can look back as I did in the past at what life was like over the years. Feel free to join me on this journey!!

Christmas Morning Memories

 

Mother's day

My Birthday (April)

 

Back in April I got to celebrate my birthday at my mom's house. I got to see family, and I was able to sit and eat with them for the first time in over a year. It felt strange but good. And I look forward to doing it again very soon without the social distance and mask wearing.
