Walk For Cure Video by Aaron and Elle

Tomorrow, we will be at La Mirada to attend the 10th Annual Walk for Cure for Scleroderma Research and Awareness.

My beloved husband and kiddies made this video to be uploaded on the Walk for Cure website. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Blessed and Happy

My loving husband, amazing children, supportive family and friends…

…they make me happy!

It’s comforting to know I am not alone, and I’m surrounded by people who constantly remind me that they love me and are praying for me =)

Scleroderma Blog

I started a Scleroderma Blog that has all the details of how this disease has quickly affected our lives in the last few months.

Hair Bow Style

I saw this super cute hairstyle from Pinterest a couple of weeks ago, and I finally had a chance to do it to DD’s hair.

It’s not super neat (I really didn’t want to put too much hairspray on her), but I think it turned out good for a first try =)

Here’s a youtube link if you want to learn how to do it too…

The Lord is My Shepherd

I was encouraged when I saw this at the doctor’s office the other day…
It’s derived from Psalm 23 but with captions.  I’m sorry, I don’t know who wrote the captions.
Anyway, I find this very powerful…. I thought I’d share this with you all.

The LORD Is My Shepherd

The LORD is my shepherd;That is relationship

I shall not want. That is supply

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:That is rest

He leadeth me beside the still waters.That is refreshment

He restoreth my soul:That is healing

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness That is guidance

for his name’s sake. That is purpose

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, That is testing

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; That is protection

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. That is discipline

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: That is hope

Thou anointest my head with oil;That is consecration

my cup runneth over.That is abundance

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: That is blessing

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD That is security

for ever.That is eternity

Chores for a Six Year old

I was reading a blog post the other day about chores you can assign to a 6-7 year old and I decided to share the chores that our 6 year old has been doing around to help out.

1) Pick out his clothes and put away the dirty clothes in the laundry

2) Put away his and his sister’s dishes in the sink

3) Brush his teeth and comb his hair

4) Pick up toys and put them away in their proper places

5) Prepare simple breakfast like making a sandwich or pouring his own cereal

6) Wiping down the tables

7) Feeding the fish

8) Organizing the shoes

9) Replacing the paper towel and tissue paper rolls

10) Read his sister a book before bed 

What does your 6 year old do to help out at home? 

Staying Warm when you have Raynauds

Ever heard of Raynaud’s Phenomenon?

It’s a condition that restricts blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears and nose are during cold temperature.  

I have Raynaud’s for the longest time and didn’t realize it, until now. I’m trying my best to deal with this condition to make my days much more tolerable. It’s very difficult to be always cold when everyone else don’t feel the same.  

I decided to make a little list of keeping warm when you suffer from Raynaud’s.

1) Have gloves handy, ALL the time!

2) Wear 2 pairs of socks

3) Use thin sweaters for layering

4) Wear scarves

5) Soak your feet in warm water often
