Summer Vacation and a Journey
Well, our summer vacation officially started at the beginning of May!! Yay for a break from school!!! This mommy sure needs it!
I have decided that this summer I am going to go on a little journey...internally that is! I have a few bad habits that I wish to break. I would like to spend more time in my Bible, learning more about my sweet Saviour, and becoming more like Him. I want to teach Breanna things that I feel I don't have the energy for teaching during the school year, like some cooking, baking, homemaking, etc. I want to scrapbook...badly!!! I want to become a better wife by doing better at keeping my house clean. Oh, then there is the packing up and purging that I am going to be doing in the hopes that we can soon sell our house and build. So, I will try to share the things that I discover when I can...
First, I have found a great blog, Raising Homemakers, I am so excited to dive into the things that she has shared about homeschooling, teaching our daughters about homemaking, and lots of other stuff. This is going to be fun!!!
Second, I started my new diet and exercise program. I had to wait for the right time to start. I tried several times during school, but school just got in the way! Then I didn't want to ruin any work I had done when we went to NC for a week. So I decided that this week would be the perfect week to start. I started Monday and Tuesday with a real food cleanse. The first day was not too bad, although the green smoothie was...well, let's just say...YUCK!!! I did crave grains and protein, but since the cleanse was suppose to be short, I had my grains yesterday! YUM! Today I will be reintroducing protein, and I started with eggs! :) The diet I am going to be doing is from a book I got at the Christian bookstore called "Dr. Colbert's 'I Can Do This' Diet". So we shall see! I also have exercised twice this week, not exactly what I was going for, but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
So, I hope you enjoy reading as I try to better my health and life with God's help! Have a blessed week!
