Month: March 2011

Ok, it has been four weeks since I’ve been checking my weight on the scale and it has not changed (well, maybe it’s less 1-2 pounds). I’m seriously considering throwing it out the window! Since Julian passed, I’ve been working so hard to lose the baby weight, taking exercise/yoga classes and eating like a bird (that’s what my mother in law said the other day). It was so much easier losing this weight with my other two children and I really owe it to the breastfeeding. This way is a lot harder.

Today, I babysat my nephew Jake, who was born two weeks after Julian. It was so nice to comfort, feed and hold a baby again. It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve done that. I really miss him. I’m thinking about writing a memoir, to tell his story and see if I could help others through their difficult times.

Well, per my brother in law’s request, I will be posting my first recipe. You don’t want to miss it. These buttermilk pancakes are the best pancakes you will ever eat! I recently passed on this recipe to my sister in law and good friend and they love them. This is a keeper.

Welcome to foodjules! Starting a blog is very exciting, but let me tell you, it is not easy. So, you’ll see some changes as I figure this all out.

This blog and cooking adventure is in loving memory of our son, Julian, who passed away 6 weeks ago at only 9 weeks old. He was such a sweet and beautiful baby and loved by all of his family and friends.

We were all so sad when we learned he had SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). I just couldn’t believe it and didn’t… I tried to enjoy him as much as I could while praying for a miracle. His time here was so short but so special. He was my miracle. My third child. My beautiful little angel. You’ll learn more about him as you visit my blog.

I have a lot to share with you about life, food, gardening and health… so stay tuned!
