How to make eating healthy fun!

Come the winter months, it gets easier to spend our days nestled in our homes next to the heater. We find ourselves watching more t.v. than usual and snacking on yummy seasonal treats. Don't forget the warm frothy drinks that are a must when the weather gets chilly! Although I love it all, I have a feeling come the bikini wearing months I will deeply regret these high calorie decisions.

Eating healthy doesn't have to be a drag. It just means trading out the processed and sugary food for natural and fresh options. I find that the first things I must do is go to the grocery store and stalk my fridge with a variety of fresh fruit and veggies. Make it fun! One way to do just that is through smoothies and homemade juices. Conveniently, my friend Sarah just so happens to have a juicer. Along with this powerful machine of juicing goodness, came a booklet of recipes.

New year's day passed by without bothering to assign me a resolution, so come January 13th, Sarah and I decided to make ours the goal of trying each and every recipe in the juicing booklet at least once this year.

I'll keep you posted (literally I will post) on each of these adventures. Maybe you'll see something that looks worth trying out!

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family, Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out! Loe and behold, our twin gir...
