Sweet Sixteen

Posted in Family

Somewhere along the way my baby grew up. It’s hard to believe that she’s now sixteen. Once she gets her hours in with her driving permit, she’ll be getting her license. She’s no longer a little girl, but she’ll always be my baby. Her birthday started off with her opening some cards and presents. New headphones, which were needed due to her old ones falling apart, where quickly tested out. A much wanted Star Wars Lego set was met with a huge grin of delight. Then we were off to Chick-fil-a for a late lunch as that was what the…

Fitness Friday: 21 Day Fix Week 1

Posted in Fitness

I decided that is was time to get back in shape. I’ve had too many rough months suffering with migraines that had kept me from doing very much. When we were able to get out and explore, I found myself fatigued all too quickly. I started off by doing some workout routines through the XBox 360, but I realized that if I was going to get in shape by May, I needed to have some sort of set routine. I wanted something a little different that didn’t take up a huge amount of time each day. After some research, I…

Special thanks to Organic India for providing a sample of their products through Moms Meet. I first heard of Moringa when we moved to California.

Nature Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of the Natural World

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to Storey Publishing for providing a review copy of this book. Have you ever kept a nature journal? Made sketches of what you have viewed in your yard or on a hike? As a photographer, I tend to take pictures. It is my way of journaling. Munchkin, on the other hand, enjoys sketching and drawing. Sometimes she’ll take a picture, so she can sketch the image later. Other times, she’ll use a live object for her sketches. Whether sketching or taking pictures, the act of observation makes you slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Nature…
