Take a moment of silence to enjoy this island. It’s literally like no other island I’ve ever seen.

I could build an entire house around this.

Strong, sturdy, functional, stylish... oh, and teal with granite trimmings.

The downfalls of being a designer of any kind is to pause at beauty.

So, @thoughtfulcarpenter, let’s start building house plans around this beautiful island.

I’m off to day dream and bundle up to run a few errands. Because #raynauds. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have a great day.

xoxo, Aimee

Those white patches that appear on my fingers are called Raynaud’s Phenomenon. No, it’s not contagious. Yes, it hurts. No, I can’t make it stop or take it away... and no, sometimes I never get warm enough. Ask @glutenfree_dad.

If it’s cold (it used to be when it was around 30 degrees... now I’m symptomatic at 48 degrees!), areas of my finger start to feel sore and numb.

Then, prickly as they turn ghost white.

Then, when I try to warm them back up, my fingers will turn pink and feel like little needles pricking me as the blood flow returns.

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

My adult life has been a long string of doctors, specialists, diagnosis scares, threats of cancer that didn’t exist, uncertain doctors that write too many prescriptions. Thousands of dollars spent on naturopath appointments and supplements. Being sick and tired; the culprit for loss of work = loss of income. Less active than I want to be with our kids... and lots of tears and apologizing later. Less travel and outings with my husband. More staying home and resting.

Can I just get a refund? A do-over?

Some days this is exactly how I feel.

But since that’s not really gonna happen, I love filling my feed with encouraging posts by @jenessawait and @hertrueworth and @freelymadi and @hope_with_hashimotos.

Their beautiful reminders help me to stop complaining so loudly and start finding the “joy in the journey” to better health and a better life.

Who do you follow that brings goodness and encouragement to your life?

Yesterday I turned 37. I don’t even know how I got here.

Fun fact #1: Born in 1982, my mom tells me that after having me on the 24th of November, she enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner 🍽 in the hospital the next day. She has reminded me of this every Thanksgiving dinner we have shared. turkey 🦃 Either super memorable or the hospital food was that bad.

Fun fact #2: Today, the day after mine, would have been my grandfather’s 99th birthday 🎉🎉. He died in 2001 after a long, long life as an Attica prison guard and dairy farmer.

Fun fact #3: Every couple of years my birthday falls on 🦃 day. Give me pie 🥧, football 🏈 and naps😴... oh, and gluten free cupcakes from @sweetreasons in #fredericksburgva.

Fun fact #4: Speaking of cupcakes, last month @betsylife made an amazing Coconut Carrot Bundt Cake #bundtofthemonth and it inspired @glutenfree_dad and I to have carrot cake 🧁 with coconut frosting from @sweetreasons. THEY WERE AMAZING. Betsy is definitely onto something.

Fun fact #5: If it’s true that you are only as old as you feel... then, I feel old. 👵🏻 Plus, being 10 months older than my husband 👨🏻 @glutenfree_dad just makes me feel that much older.

Do you have a good birthday story for me? 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Leave it below.

Amber.
The second youngest in our high school class (yes, because I was the youngest by 4 days!).
One of the smartest women I know.
Driven.
Strong.
Compassionate.
A brave warrior that never gives up.
Amazing smile.
But you should hear her laugh.

Without hesitation, has always been there to pick me up.
Carry me through days I could barely stand.
Encouraged me to wait for the best man for me... and when he showed up, she affirmed that he was the one.
She is sweet.
Tender.
Kind.
Brilliant and incredible.
I’m the luckiest to have her friendship.

She and I are like a really small gang.

Happy Birthday my sweet Amber @thoroughbred4421. 37 looks amazing on you.

xoxo, Aimee

Who agrees that there’s something special about a car selfie?! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 They are just about the only selfie that my face can agree with.

Hi, I’m Aimee... car selfie taker, chronic saver and always searching for my people.

You know... the ones that shake their head when you share something hard because they’ve been there.

The ones that cut their own hair, skip the nail salon and daily starbucks, live within their means and always have cash in their wallet.

The ones that love Jesus... but have been through a divorce.

Or those that live daily with a chronic disease or an autoimmune disorder and can totally relate to how tired and cranky I get sometimes.

Women small business owners that get the beautiful chaos of life while running a business, raising children and finding balance.

Yes, people like that are my people.

I love how uniquely interesting and beautiful my friends are and how being relatable in even just one area is enough to share a lifetime of friendship.

What can you relate with? Nothing? Everything? Tell me! ♥️
