St. Louis

Summer goes by so fast!! July was a very busy month, with lots of adventures and memories made.  Ashton and Ali went to the Chris Brown and Usher concert that evening while I spent the evening at an airbnb loft downtown St. Louis with the boys.  It was a fun experience and I had such a great time hanging out with the boys.  

The next day we headed to the zoo for a fun filled day of enjoying the animal exhibits and spending time together!  This was Zanders first trip to the zoo. I had a wonderful time!

The loft was so adorable

The Sweet Things in Life

They are found in kindness, friendship, love, family, quiet mornings, shared meals, new beginnings, and memories that make you smile long after they happen. Sometimes sweetness is simply having someone who understands you without needing many words.

It has been a busy but wonderful summer.  I haven't finished my to do list,  or had time to visit some family and friends, but there is so much to be thankful for.   I have a few photos from our adventures too post, but after last summer.... here’s to a summer I’ll always look back on with a grateful heart. 🤍

Enjoying My New Role

Two months into officially being Trudy Sladek, CCMA and I am really loving my role and the people i am surrounded by! I have had so much support and all the opportunities I could ask for.  I love meeting all of our patients and getting to know them and working with many talented young ladies and love to watch them accomplish their dreams, the providers are some of the best and so fun to work with.

We all enter different seasons in our life,  the last one for me was a tough one with the last few years being very hard. Letting people i love go and making many changes.  This young lady below,  Lauren came into my life just 3 days into my new job,  and I couldn't be more thankful to have her as a friend!  She has pushed me to be the best CCMA and I owe her so much.  

Life throws some curve balls but always stay humble,  look to the future and how you can contribute to make it better,  and love those who love you 🩷

Happy birthday Kynedy - Happy 4th

Last weekend was SO much fun!  I mowed grass Friday so I slept all of Friday evening! Lol

Grandsons make life sweeter, and mine are simply adorable." 💕



Aj and I had an awesome 4th, his mama had to work. We went to Sycamore Winery, survived thunder,  lightning,  down pour and a gorgeous rainbow!!  

Nothing beats spending the day at the parade and ending the evening with beautiful fireworks. So grateful for these precious moments with my family. 💙🎇




Monique and her girls!!

My grandsons mean everything to me. I love them more than words can express, and every moment with them is a blessing. ❤️
