Raw Food and Rainbows

At first I accidentally titled this post as "Raw Food Die"  which I
find funny right now even though I've grown to love things like raw
parsnips and ginger.

I do think I'm done being militant about the detox diet though.  Here's what I will keep doing (a definite lifestyle change):

1.  Eat fruit in the morning on an empty stomach.( I did this years ago after reading Fit For Life but didn't stick to it)

2.  Keep making green lemonage (really good, green, kale-based drink)

3.  Eat raw food throughout day with other stuff and eat raw until after lunch-maybe until dinner if I'm really good.

4.  Eat a lot more fruit and vegetables than I did before...

That Poor Thing

I was walking upstairs the other night and a bird flew right by my head
and into my bedroom. I trapped it in my room, and then I thought about
it and realized, it was not a bird.  It was a bat.  I know bats eat
insects and they are made out to be such good creatures but they are
creepy if they are in your house.  They fly in swooping patterns and
they carry diseases.  And a lot of times, there are more if there is
one, especially in winter...

Resolution

So, along with discarding our tree the day after Christmas, having some
friends over for a New Years Party while June slept upstairs in
Maggie's closet (so she wouldn't hear the noise), June's first birthday
(I can hardly believe that one) and finally, Mags going back at school
(she was losing it without her peers)...we are making some changes...

There's no Snow Like Minnesota Snow

We played in the snow in CT before we left for Minnesota.  Enough to make a baby snowman.

Then, while having a great time with the extended family, we played in over 2
feet of snow (and even 20 below weather on some days).

Mags had the time of her life playing outside with her cousins.

The night before we left Mags sang "Rudolph" to me at bedtime. She's
been learning all the shout-outs and responses.  When she got to the
end, "..you'll go down in his-tor-y" she shouted, "Like George Bush!" 
It was one of those kid-funny AND adult-funny moments.  We both laughed
hard...

It isn't any less crazy at home

Dance recitals, holiday shopping, even getting those JCPenny photos of
my kids (yep, matching outfits), wrapping things, seeking out schools
for next year-Kindergarten already?, cooking (although I will say Jason
has become "Little Miss Crockpot")  It's all making me feel like no
matter what you do as a mom, it is always chaotic.  The road busy but
so is this.  I've said it before, you just have to embrace the chaos...
