12 Years of Happy Marriage

Daniel and I celebrated 12 years yesterday. We had a lovely date and I selected "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Raw" while we were at the bookstore. I was so excited to read it and find many of the other books I feel God has lead me to read in the past few years referenced in it. I really feel everything clicking with me going raw. After going over 2 weeks on about 80% raw, I still feel so foreign to raw eating. I've really just been eating salads and a lot of fruit, and I want to learn more.

The recipes look a bit challenging, and I need some more kitchen equipment such as a dehydrator. Raw foodies aren't just eating salads all day long. They eat raw lasagna, and soups, and crackers, and so on. Good thing my birthday is coming up! It has also inspired me to feed my kids better. When I start thinking about everything they ate in a day (not what I offered or made them, but what they ACTUALLY ate) it can be frightening sometimes!

So I'll let you know as I try new recipes in my new book!

My anniversary present!

Phoebe's New Bedding!

My goals for this week

So I am on about day 14 or so of eating RAW and I love it. I am going to 30 days, but then I am starting a 100 day Raw Food Challenge in August. I am learning so much. You should check out rawfu.com!

This week, I will continue to eat raw, while trying 2 new raw recipes: raw chili and raw alfredo zucchini. I will let you know how it goes. I also want to fun 2 miles every day, and get up EARLY before my kids and do my exercise and time with God. Do any of you get up and do all that every morning before your kids are up?

I would also like to work on Phoebe's room, as we are transforming it into a China doll's room! And I am going to conquer this poison ivy this week! I am not going to let it consume me as it has this week.

Welcome to my life!

I love to write, always have. So it just makes sense that I'd love to blog, once I figured out what blogging is! So now that I have, I look forward to sharing life with you, my friends and family. Please leave a comment and let me know who's found their way to my blog. I hope to meet new people along the way, too!
