easter

I might get a little too excited when there are free events in my area that give away candy.  My poor children were subjected to four different egg hunts.  I just can't help it!  It's so fun for me to watch and I love the candy too ;)

Last week we had an egg hunt with our playgroup, went to one at the zoo, walked Main Street for their Easter walk, and then went to an egg hunt on Saturday at someone's house in our ward.  It was awesome!  The kids totally scored.  And they didn't seem to mind at all.

I am extremely grateful for my Savior.  I know that He died for me.  I know that He atoned for my sins so I can repent.  I know that because of Him I can return home and live with my family forever.  I love Him.  I will forever be in His debt. 

I hope you had a great Easter!

(now enjoy the pictures of my kids!)

don't be annoyed

I've been thinking a lot lately about my family's eating habits.  I say family's but it's all on me.  I'm the one who buys groceries and cooks meals and prepares snacks.  I'm the one who makes sure there are enough chocolate chips in the house to make cookies for a whole year.  And I've been a little concerned about it all lately.  I checked out several books from the library and after I read them...was totally inspired.  And now I'm trying to make some changes.

 

And I need help!  I'm refocusing my groceries on whole foods and cutting out as much processed and packaged food as I can.  I'm also trying to cut back on the amount of meat we eat.  I know I should be buying all organic but I just don't think I'm ready to commit to that - ha! So I need help.  I want ALL of your recipes.  Recipes for snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinners.  I want your recipes for green smoothies and your recipes for meatless meals.  I need them all because I'm trying really hard to change the way we eat.  And all I still want is a dang cookie and pasta for dinner :) 

 

And don't be annoyed...but you should totally read The Honest Life.  It's awesome.  Sure, it might be a little bit of an advertisement for her company, but I still loved it. And I'm trying to really hard to incorporate her Honest Cleaning and Honest Eating in my life.

 

Ok email, text, or leave comments with your recipes please! :)
