Check This Out!

My friend, from like elementary school, is one of the most Raw, Real food cookers, bakers and eaters out there. I'm guessing she has been asked "How do you do it?!?" more than once, so she finally started a blog. Susie, (Susan? I don't know what grown ups call her) has skills in the kitchen and makes almost everything (even her own jello and ginger ale) from scratch using as pure to the earth ingredients she can find. Her blog is awesome because a) She doesn't claim to know it all, or be the best, or have all the answers or that she's %100 right all the time. b) She has really good, practical ideas. c). She has put her time in reading and researching raw and real foods, so I trust her. And d). She's a money saver with the best of us, so I know that when she talks about a product she has looked around to make sure she's getting a good price. She also loves the Lord, loves her husband, loves her kids (and loves Fair Trade), so she has her priorities straight too. If eating organically, raw or fair interests you at all check out her blog One Mother's Kitchen.

I would love the Pears I think... so funny though, the 1st blog of her's that I read has the words... "Oh and the glorious banana..." Not a phrase that would ever come out of my mouth :P

Thanks for the encouragement, Sarah! It's been way more fun doing this than I thought it would be. And now that I have a blog, I've already been way better at reading everybody else's. Love your post about Martha. What I've always thought but never said outloud.

Oh, and I tried the "Susan" thing fresh out of highschool, but it was just weird. I'm still Susie, or Sooz. =)

Thanks Sarah...I have a whole list of books that I need to read now about how to change my eating habits. I feel a little overwhelmed at the moment. But I'm really excited about your friends blog. I need to see real practical things that I can to to start implementing those changes.

A Quick Update

We have been in Idaho just a few days shy of 7 months. That's over HALF a YEAR, people. MUCH has changed. Our daily routine? Changed. Weekend plans? Changed. People we call when we're in a jam? Changed. How we're being fed spiritually? Changed. (But not TOTALLY, because we are still being fed hearty meals from the truth of God's Word, only our "server" has changed, essentially). How we function as a family? Changed. Everything has changed.  Half a year in a new land, with new people, and a new EVERYTHING will change you. And we are okay with that. Matter of fact, we're better than okay! We scorched our way through a brutal, smoke filled August, and we are GOOD! We tip-toed into the school year in new schools, with new teachers, and new everything , and we are good! A couple kids even won awards! (She's one ...  the oldest was another, but conveniently ducked the camera >insert eye roll<). We mercifully made new frien...

My New Language

My teen challenged me to a game of ping pong. Easy enough, one might think, but this particular teen has been playing for YEARS against GOOD players (my mother-in-law is a champ!). Not to mention his muscles are twice the size of mine and he's a least - dare I admit this - a solid three inches taller than I, probably four. He was so sweet when he asked, and I couldn't remember the last time he had, so of course I said yes. From the beginning he knew he could beat me. He is stronger, faster,  *sigh*  taller , and more skilled. So he, sweet thang that he is, played with his weaker hand, which honestly isn't saying much because the boy is straight up ambidextrous . He was still beating me. So he got on his knees. I kid you not. He put one hand behind his back and he. played. on. his. knees . Aaaaaaaaaand he still beat me. It probably didn't help that I was laugh/crying the entire time. He thinks it was because I was having the time of my life, and I WAS! But r...

The Post About School

Our family has partially or full time homeschooled for eight years. And, getting really technical, if you think of the years per kid, that's 22 years of homeschooling ! I think it's safe to say we are homeschool fans. Our decision to homeschool, initially, came from three factors: 1. Mark is a big proponent of using time wisely, and neither of us were thrilled with the use of time in our local schools. 2. We don't vaccinate, which wasn't a big deal in the beginning because BACK THEN we could just sign a waiver and it was no biggie. Then CA went all - well, Californiaish- and basically it became impossible for us to legally enroll our kids in a public school. 3. What brought homeschooling to our attention was when a family brought us a meal after Mia was born, and in walked this 8 year old boy who was kind, polite, helpful, genuine, respectful, patient, and more. I asked the mom, "Where does this kid go to school? He is incredible! What are you doing??...
