In honor of Veterans Day My daughters’ grandfather - US Army vet It’s a shame there’s so many today in the US that forget Mexicans like him and others representing nations across the world have fought, sacrificed and in some cases died for the US. They were willing to give up everything for the concept of freedom only to have their descendants vilified and attacked #mexico #méxico #mexican #usa #america #veteran #veterans #veteransday #army @goarmy #vietnamwar

My daughter is singing in honor of her Mexican grandfather tonight (US Army veteran) at her Honor Choir concert @bessracecisd @crowley_isd @crowleyhonorchoir #autistic #autistickids #autistickidsrock #autism #mexican #mexico #mexicangirl🇲🇽 #irish #irishgirl #november #2019 #texas #veteran #veterans #veteransday #usarmy @goarmy #dfw #choir #concert

I couldn’t sleep last night so I baked cupcakes for my brother Red velvet cupcakes with red velvet pudding and a red velvet Oreo inside #redvelvet #redvelvetcupcakes #redvelvetoreos #owl @oreo @mmschocolate #baking #cupcakes #november #2019

Very proud of my daughter for working hard to get ready for her first choir concert tomorrow. Her Mexican grandfather was a US Army vet who fought in Vietnam so honoring his memory is important to her She is also proof being autistic can be beautiful ❤️ @crowley_isd @crowleyhonorchoir #choir #concert #veteran #veteransday #mexican #mexicangirl🇲🇽 #irish #irishgirl #autistic #autism #autistickids #autistickidsrock #autismawareness #autismacceptance #usa #texas #tx #army #usarmy @goarmy #dfw #november #2019 #friday #mexico @bessracecisd

So glad QT encourages their staff to give back to the community and sets the example through their own corporate contributions to those in need. One of their Fort Worth managers doing his part to help his local community Local school having a food drive to collect for a food pantry in need plus they’re making blankets for foster kids Store# 959 @quiktrip #community #quiktrip #qt #charity #local #fortworth #ftw ftworth #texas #tx #thanksgiving #fooddrive #foodpantry #blankets

My family has been through a lot this Fall but it was made so much easier with the help of staff at my kids school. From front office staff to teachers we’ve had love, support and encouragement poured into our lives. As November gets roaring, the month we should be pondering what makes us thankful, i encourage you to let someone know the impact they’ve had on your life. People deserve to know they matter #thankful #gratitude #coffee #education #teacher #starbucks #holiday #holidaydrinks #starbucksholiday @starbucks #november #2019 #friends #love #encouragement #support #encourage #winter #thanksgiving

You’ve got to love a place where you can get coffee in the morning and alcohol in the evening Dream come true 😉 #coffee #bar #restaurant #kitchen #gettoasted #fortworth #ftw #ftworth #tx #texas #cowtown #crockettrow @toastedcoffee @crockettroww7th #west7th #november #2019

I’m not a big breakfast person so I wanted something light - this is the softest, thick slices of toast I’ve ever had. It’s spicy enough to get a kick without feeling you need milk to calm your taste buds lol @toastedcoffee #coffee #cowtown #fortworth #ftworth #texas #tx @fortworthfoodie #fortworthfoodie #fortworthfood #gettoasted #toast #sausage #gravy #sausagegravy #gravytoast #thicktoast #november #2019 @crockettroww7th #crockettrow #west7th

When in ‘Cowtown’.... A lavender latte on a rainy day just makes things perfect. Getting to sip my coffee in this beautiful spot with great music and nice staff is how mornings are meant to be @toastedcoffee #coffee #latte #lavender #lavenderlatte #cowtown #fortworth #ftworth #texas #tx @fortworthfoodie #fortworthfoodie #fortworthfood #gettoasted #november #2019 #crockettrow #west7th @crockettroww7th

Roughly six months ago I began losing my ability to stand and walk due to an autoimmune disorder wrecking my body. I became bed ridden, dependent on prescription narcotics for pain relief and required multiple spinal procedures but still had no quality of life. Two months ago my dr recommended CBD and hemp products instead of prescription narcotics. Thanks to those my pain is gone and I’m actually living. I celebrated 10 straight days of not needing a cane or walker by hiking through nature trails and the Adriatica Village. I promised myself if I could ever walk normally again I wouldn’t take it for granted and I’d get outside instead of binging TV - today I honored that promise #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunewarrior #autoimmuneawareness #spinalhealth #walk #walking #health #fitness #hiking #mckinney #mckinneytx #november #2019 #irishgirl #irishgirlsrock #autoimmunefighter #autoimmunedisorder #autoimmunelife #lifewithautoimmunedisease #cbd #cbdhealth #cbdhealthbenefits #hemp #hempoil #cbdoil #cbdoilbenefits #hemphealth #prescriptiondrugs #medical #pain

Needed energy to handle Halloween and kids on sugar so it called for a special dinner: Grilled swordfish with a light sauce made from Irish butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice and organic capers #swordfish #swordfishsteak #butter #lemon #lemonjuice #capers @kerrygold_uk #fish #dinner #dinnerideas #dinneridea #halloween #halloweendinner #october #october31 #2019

As a woman who descends from Irish freedom fighters I have a soft spot for people who want to control their own lives, homes and futures #hongkong #freehongkong #irish #standwithhongkong #2019 #freedom

My daughter isn’t happy with the new nutrition requirements her dr has recommended so I needed a way to trick her into eating something healthy 😉 I sprinkled black and orange chocolate chips on top for some Halloween flair Chocolate Avocado Bran Muffins Gluten free chocolate cake mix from @kingarthurflour Coconut milk from @goyafoods Bran from @kelloggsus She loved them and had no idea she was eating stuff from the list she swore would ‘kill her’ (pre-teen dramatics)😆🤣 #autism #autistic #autistickids #digestivehealth #digestivesystem #daughter #chocolate #avocado #coconutmilk #bran #fiber #glutenfree #muffin #chocolatemuffin #halloween #chocolatechip #chocolatecake
