We wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️ ~ the Manning’s
Needless to say we made the best of it this year, and everyone is all smiles! Some traditions had to be put on hold; but we have each other, and I got to be home with my family (including parents, and sister & brother in-law) 🙏🏻 👉🏻@manning_party_of_5 #merrychristmas #peaceandlove #countingmyblessings #ilovekoalas #notanuglysweater #readyfor2021

My beautiful Leiana Rose, please stop growing before my eyes ♥️ She holds half of my heart, and I’m so blessed that she chose me to be her mama 11 1/2 years ago. Such a loving, talented, thoughtful, and intelligent {old} soul who never ceases to amaze me 🌹 #3/365 🤍 #proudmama #blessed #twopeasinapod #oldsouls
This is our Maverick by definition ~ {rebel with a good heart, who beats to his own drum} 💙 Currently he is watching Ugly Dolls – which he calls “yellow green pink” – with all of his relaxing essentials. 😅😜♥️ Everyday he learns, and teaches us, something new. The journey has been bumpy, stressful at times, but he is a beautiful ray of light and smiles (and those eyes melt my heart, every time)! He is brilliant, resilient, resourceful, and very musically inclined. I am so grateful that all of our kids have stayed relatively healthy through this pandemic, but I haven’t always handled Maverick’s high-pitched screaming stims well at all. I’ve yelled, I’ve cried, I’ve closed myself in the closet just to have 3-5 minutes of quiet. We got the diagnosis coming up on 1 year ago, and then 2 months later – shutdown! This year I don’t have a resolution, but rather a change of mindset. I will focus on gratitude and positivity, and take all the quiet closet breaks I need without feeling guilty lol. This is high functioning autism ❤️💛💙🤍 and I couldn’t have survived this last year without my amazingly supportive, loving, and patient beyond measure husband @manning_party_of_5 📸 #2/365 #MaverickJax #mamasboy #autismmom #onedayatatime

UC has brought on iron deficiency. To the point where I am in pain from the waist down come the day before I’m due for an infusion. Thankfully I am no longer anemic, but this may be my new weekly norm. After one hour of this, I feel like when Popeye eats his spinach! 💪🏻👊🏻 I’m so grateful to be getting answers, and having the best Dr.’s figuring them out 💛 4 more sessions to go then we re-test my levels and pray I don’t need a bone marrow biopsy 🙏🏻 #onedayatatime #nowUCme #ulcerativecolitis #Igotthis #healthyeating #stressfree #readytolivemybestlife
Happy New Year 🎆 We wish everyone a better year of good health, true wealth, and genuine happiness ♥️ Let’s live 2021 one day at a time, and always be counting our blessings! 📸 1/365 💋 #TheMannings #missingone #HappyNewYear #wereinthistogether #positivevibes
Do you make creations from your plates like this 👉🏻 ? Mmmm SO good! Skinless rotisserie chicken, roasted red potatoes seasoned with Himalayan salt & pepper, spaghetti baked squash, and white rice with (vegan) butter & honey for dessert 😋 Since I only have about 13 ingredients in my daily menu then I have to change it up… The only seasonings I have are S&P, and the only sugars I consume are from bananas & honey. After a month of this new way of eating, it’s all I crave! It takes 3 weeks to make, or break, a habit; and now I couldn’t imagine allowing anything processed, or non – organic, in my body. 32 ounces of water {minimum} daily, no sweets, no nightshade vegetables, nothing fried, nor spicy. The way I’m feeling now is worth the sacrifice.. I’m working my way to remission 🙏🏻 I have UC, it doesn’t have me 💪🏻👊🏻 #4/365 #nowUCme #healthyeating #wevegotthis

Seared lemon pepper halibut, with zucchini, rainbow carrots, and lightly seasoned baby russet potatoes for my hubby & my big girl 😋 My halibut was seasoned with Himalayan sea salt, and I skipped on the potatoes! For some reason it was more filling than breakfast, and I made 3 tummies happy 🥰 This was the first completely home cooked meal I’ve made in about 6 months.. I’m baaaack 💋 #homecooking #healthyfood #nowUCme

Good morning, good morning! 🎙🎶 I wake up looking forward to healthy eating… It’s become one of my favorite things 😅 Today I have 2 slices of @canyonglutenfree mountain white toast – one with 1/4 avocado & Himalayan salt; and the other with almond butter, 1/2 banana and a drizzle of raw organic honey). With this I have a bowl of rice with vegan butter & a drizzle of honey, and my @drinkorgain super foods protein drink w/ almond milk 😋 #nowUCme #healthylifestyle
Breakfast doesn’t have to consist of what we call breakfast foods {🍳 🥓🧇🥞🥯} In fact I would be just as happy with a California roll 🍱 Our bodies use what we put in them to create new cells every 35 days. I’m 10 days away from completely becoming what I eat, and I’ve been feeling like a ‘brand new kind of me’… 🎵 On my plate today ~ almond butter & banana toast, skinless chicken breast, baked spaghetti squash, and rice with vegan butter & raw honey 😋 Are you ready for the 35 day difference? #healthylifestyle #nowUCme #ulcerativecolitis #25andcounting
Yes my son does have autism! No sad faces about it, and he has never had milk in his life. @peta please don’t use autism as something to fear or be sad about. My Maverick is brilliant, resilient, extremely musically inclined, and the most loving boy I could imagine being blessed with. I am all about the ethical treatment of animals, so please be the same for humans who many not be considered “typical”. Sincerely, #autismmom #bekind #themoreyouknow

My bedside Spring/Summer reading list 📚🐛 I am currently in the middle of “The Strange Case of Dr Couney” ~ a fascinating must read 🤓 What are your favorite genres?
If you have health issues, especially GI, please add these to your New Year regimen ~ along with a complete diet change! 2020 was rough for all of us, and I’m so ready to say goodbye! 2021 is all about healing, and staying healthy 💪🏻👊🏻 This is not an ad, and I have no affiliation with any of these companies! I am just sharing what I use, and what I have learned that WORKS 🙌🏻 I have UC, it doesn’t have me 😉 #readyfor2021 #nowUCme #healthylifestyle
