Surprise! We’re opening a restaurant! Whaaaattttt?
Surprise! We’re opening a restaurant! Whaaaattttt?! 😍🤭 Crazy, huh? For those closest to us this actually won’t come as a surprise - because we’ve been dreaming, planning, hoping and praying for a long time now about this exciting next part of our life as @happymixcreperie ’s owners!
♡
Our dream to one day open a cute little crepe cafe began a decade ago when I was pregnant with my daughter Kenzi Rae. I had terrible *all day sickness* and there was only one food I could keep down: strawberry Nutella crepes. SO… Kevin would drive all across DFW in search of crepes. After a few months of driving at all hours of the day and night Kevin finally realized he could… you know… make the crepes himself!
♡
Together we perfected our crepe recipe - chewy, soft, flavorful and delicious. It’s been a beloved family meal staple ever since. We kept hoping a good crepe shop would pop up downtown. A place that served all our favorite foods: smoothies, boba tea, matcha, crepes and more… but none ever did.
♡
So we began dreaming, planning and preparing. We’ve had friends we’ve been blessed to watch launch their restaurant dreams, and others who have owned their own restaurant for decades.
♡
Then, one day when scooting downtown I saw it. Happymix Creperie. 💕✨ It was a tiny vacant spot on our @downtownmckinney square - with a ton of potential. I dreamt of restoring the building to its former beauty - transom windows and lofted ceilings… of all the neighbors, family and friends pouring in through the door and back out into the community. The smell of delicious crepes cooking, and laughter bubbling forth.
♡
This past week we began demo, we have three months to turn this place into the pretty pink spot on the square I know it can be. You can sign up for our email list to watch this dream come to life at the link in my bio, and by following @happymixcreperie .
♡
So excited to bring a tiny slice of happiness and beauty to the square. We can’t wait to serve you! ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪

I’m baaaccckkkk! ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗
♡
*dusts cobwebs off social profiles* It’s been a hot second since I’ve felt inspired enough to share in this little space. Life has been full, rich and beautiful… but I also needed time away from creating in this space for my heart to mend and slowly heal.
♡
A lot has happened in my life, and my family’s life in the past 7 months… I’ll bore you with all those details in later posts. •ᴗ•
♡
For now, I’m reveling in the beauty to be found all around me. Counting my blessings, and taking time to reflect on my journey so far… while looking forward to all the beauty that’s to come. How have y’all been? ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪


There’s a persistent creativity you have to acquir
There’s a persistent creativity you have to acquire once you become differently abled. The world you once glided through with relative ease in your previous body… is now much trickier to navigate.
♡
Big things like traveling… all the way to tiny things like a step up into a store, or cooking a meal - everything can change in a second.
♡
Some adapt quickly, able to get the tools and resources they need immediately… while others fight every step of the way.
♡
How would your life change if tomorrow you woke up and had to use an assistive device? A wheelchair, power chair, walker, cane or crutches? How would you navigate your home, and the world outside your home?
♡
This is an interesting exercise to complete, and for those who are able bodied I’d challenge you to try it: maybe a friend or family member has a set of crutches they’re no longer using, or an old foldable wheelchair tucked away in a closet? Ask to see if you can borrow it and try to live out a single day depending on that tool for mobility. No cheating!
♡
I bet… just maybe… your whole world might shift… if even just a little. ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪


Tomorrow’s the big day – I’m taking my driving tes
Tomorrow’s the big day - I’m taking my driving test! ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶
♡
I’ve been practicing in parking lots and back country roads for months, I’ve taken all the courses and I’m prepared. But… everything feels so surreal.
♡
For the past 8 years I’ve relied on Kevin, Uber drivers and the kindness of friends to take me anywhere outside of my little downtown area.
♡
It’s been a long journey to get to this moment, this place right here. From nursing my body back to health, relearning how to do even the tiniest tasks again, fighting insurance to get the medical equipment I needed to adapt and thrive, paying off mountains of medical debt, slowly adapting my house, learning how to travel as an amputee and so much more…
♡
Now, now the big day is just around the corner. And it feels like a ‘pinch me’ moment. Tomorrow morning either I pass or fail my driving test, and after practicing in parking lots and back roads for the past few months I’m feeling pretty confident in my abilities. Parallel parking is still my arch nemesis. But… who can honestly say that they’re good at parallel parking?! 🙃😜
♡
Passing this test opens up a whole new world for me. Not having to pay extra $ for grocery deliveries, being able to take Kenzi on play dates that are outside of my 1 mile radius, the ability to go to appointments on my own time without having to coordinate with Kevin, traveling to see family and friends, and a huge one - being able to drive to my local gym to workout and to @adaptingtrainingfoundation !!
♡
It’s been a longgggg 8 years, hopeful and excited for this next chapter in my life. If you think of me, please say a prayer for tomorrow - my test is at 8am sharp. Hopefully it’ll be quick and I’ll pass with flying colors, I’ll keep y’all updated. ⋆˚✿˖°


Have you ever been so focused on what you *think*
Have you ever been so focused on what you *think* your life should look like… your hopes and dreams for the future… that you completely lose sight of the present?
♡
I feel like for the past six months I’ve been sitting in this in-between place. Torn between two versions of me… one I desperately wanted to hold onto, and another I’ve been apprehensive to embrace. A dichotomy of the heart. A stripping away of identity, of self, of hopes and dreams… and in this messy process desperately trying my best to lay everything down and surrender at the feet of Jesus.
♡
If you’ve been here with me in this little digital space for any amount of time you might know about our dream of adopting. How this dream began long before our marriage, and blossomed years after enduring the forging flame of the ICU. Both of us coming out on the other side with a renewed hope of one day growing our family through adoption.
♡
Ever since I was a little girl I’d hoped of one day having a big family. I envisioned lots of little feet playing joyfully in the safety of our cozy little home. Goodnight hugs and kisses multiplied many times over as our family grew one tiny soul at a time. A house that was never quiet and certainly never pristinely clean. Tiny fingerprints on windows and joyfully crafted pieces of art filling every inch of our refrigerator.
♡
Months ago, after pursuing adoption for nearly four years, Kevin and I set aside those precious dreams of growing our family. My tears flowed nonstop for about a solid month after the decision was made. And I’m still grieving.
♡
I’m not sure when this ache in my chest will go away. After all… what is grief, if not love persevering?
♡
Thank you to those of you who were praying and walking alongside us during our adoption journey, we love y’all dearly. I don’t know what tomorrow holds… but I do know who holds tomorrow. #thecolwicksadopt
♡
