Jaya about to devour her boiled peanuts! Hey girl, you better share! ;) <3 We found out earlier this year we sadly have a peanut intolerance... Since we always have boiled peanuts when we visit my mom, we decided to see, if our intolerance applies to boiled peanuts too! So far, so good. ;) To be continued... #itsasouthernthing #southerngirl #whittiernc #mountainfresh #boiledpeanuts #nomnom #foodie #slowfood

Jaya's got a bag of goodies from our favorite fudge shop ever. These lovely folks are always friendly, generous and of course the homemade fudge is simply awesome. We got pumpkin and chocolate pecan fudge. #foodie #homemade #fudge #chocolate #pecan #pumpkin #nomnom #cherokeenc #countrymaid #fudgeshop

It's been an interesting week/weekend visiting some of our family. Some good times and some sad times. Lots to think and pray about on our long drive back to Jersey tomorrow. While my family will never be perfect, I love them and pray for them always. #family #notperfect #reality #lotstothinkabout #reminiscing #sadandhappy #conflicted #soulsearching

I still miss the old name #tribalgrounds, however the #woundedsoldier is still just as good as before. Ever time we are over this way, I have to stop by. <3 This is one of our many must go to places in Cherokee, NC. I pray next visit the museum is open, so Jaya and I can check out more of our ancestry. #coffee #blended #cherokeenc

The greatest commandment is to LOVE! 36 “Teacher, which is the great command in the Torah?” 37 And יהושע said to him, “ ‘You shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great command. 39 “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.” #love #lovemore #bemore #greatestcommandment #greatcommand #scripture

The Hoodie Clan in Florida. We are all Floridians. Priscilla might as well be because she was a little baby when she came here, so that counts in our book! ;) It's actually chilly here 35 degrees feels like 31. I didn't bring my jacket in vain after all! #hoodieclan #hoodies #myclan #floridians #ilovefall #floridafall #myfamilia

Aight... I will allow complaining that it is cold now. Though still not too shabby. But saying it's cold when it's 50's and 60's I'm just not allowing! ;) #mustbethecubaninme #hotblooded #coldinflorida #nowitscold

My Grandpa's first cousin (my third cousin) is a preacher and author too. I love getting to learn new things about my family's history. Reading Dr. Stinnett Ballew's 'The Holy Spirit - The Church's Number One Problem'. Apparently he is not the only preacher in our family's history... My grandpa's grandfather was also a preacher. #preacher #holyspirit #familytree #familyhistory #church #HarvestTime #reading

Got to cook for my mamma tonight. <3 Created this dish on a whim. Alfredo made with sheep's milk parmigiano-reggiano, grass fed butter, organic coconut cream, mixed with sautéed onions, fresh garlic, artichokes, spinach, smoked Alaskan salmon seasoned with thyme, himalayan sea salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice, capers topped over porcini mushroom and wild garlic egg pasta with a side of rustic Italian bread. Can we say yum? #slowfood #realfood #homecooking #foodie #alfredo #yummy #nomnom #whatsfordinner #cleaneating #familia

She begged and pleaded her way to Cracker Barrel... I wanted to try something new, something local that has been around forever. She had a point... We had not ate at a Cracker Barrel since we lived in Ohio. I pleaded my local, potentially once in lifetime opportunity... Ultimately I lost the battle. I can't help it, I love the way she says Cracker Barrel more like Cracker Bearroll! However, we picked up some new to me old school candy and some local all natural potato chips, so not all is lost. ;) #shewon #dinner #crackerbarrel #route11chips #valomilk #roadrrip

I was sick and worked almost the whole event. However, it was worth it! I loved every minute of getting to meet and know part of our awesome family. Next year we are hiring a film crew though, so I can train and play too! I also pray more of our family joins us next year. I look forward to getting to know you all more and growing together in mind, body and spirit! #eusaimaa #martialarts #kungfu #EnterShaolin #myfamilia #wingchun #taichi #qigong #blessed

The famous #DoubleTree #cookie! It's been too long! I use to work for Hilton Worldwide Reservations back in 2001 and everyone would be so excited when DoubleTree came to present, because they brought us cookies! Supposedly the recipe is still the same, lets see if they still taste the same! #nomnom
