    mrbstephens - Dare To Live The Dream - WE MOVED!

    DD has been taking ballet/tap classes on Saturdays. She LOVED this class! She did all the steps with a big smile on her face. Suddenly, out of no where she decided she no longer wanted to participate. After much discussion she decided she wanted to take a break from class. Suddenly this...

    Chocolate Nutbutter Bars aka Healthy Butternut Squash Brownies ;)

    I have an easier way to cook squash(don't hate me). Stab the squash repeatedly with a sharp knife then put it on a microwavable plate. Microwave on high for about 20 minutes, flipping it over once half way through. Then, cut it in half lengthwise being careful of the steam. Scoop out the...

    Yoga

    That's weird. I've never gotten sick from yoga and I'm pretty sensitive with motion sickness. You sure it's not a coincidence?

    mrbstephens - Dare To Live The Dream - WE MOVED!

    Today we joined our homeschool group for a program about weather at the local aquarium. So glad DS had lots of friends there today and DD finally has a friend she really likes in the group. Social interaction really is so important. DS knew almost every answer to every question. Homeschooled...

    mrbstephens - Dare To Live The Dream - WE MOVED!

    Today was a good day, but still really really cold! It's been so so so cold this winter. We've had the same snow and ice on the ground since December. 8:30 am DD wakes me up. She doesn't give me a moment to recover from my coma before she's yanking me out of bed. She does bring me my...

    mrbstephens - Dare To Live The Dream - WE MOVED!

    Let's fast forward a couple of years now. Not because it's boring. I'm sure it wasn't, but due to hormones and sleep deprivation, I don't remember much. :P When my son was 4 years old I chose to bring him to the preschool down the road from our house. I figured it would give me a little...

    mrbstephens - Dare To Live The Dream - WE MOVED!

    Before I continue on with my thoughts and experiences, I'd like to ask that anyone reading this to not take anything I write offensively. If you don't like what is here, please discontinue reading. People asked me if I would breastfeed my babies. To me this was a dumb question. I never...

    Vitamin D fortified milk has corn in it!

    The bald cat thing tends to be more often in black and white cats. I guess they're more sensitive. I switched her from Purina Meow Mix to Hill's Science Diet which still has corn, but not as much. Check the first ingrdient. It should be meat, not corn.

    So, some more stuff about me. :rolleyes: Married my hubby in 1998. We were high school sweet hearts. Those words he spoke to me all those years ago still ring in my head....."I always knew I just had to find the right person and now I have." :love We were so young, but it was so true. We...

    Organic Milk and UHT milk

    I'm lucky to find pasteurized organic whole milk in my health food store. The containers for the ultra-pasteurized looks almost exactly the same, so you have to look closely. Same company, but the better stuff comes from a farm in the same state I live in (NY). The other comes from Ohio.

    9% Inflation

    DH had no work for 3 whole months this fall/winter. We survived on $405/wk unemployment benefits and DH did any bits of work he could get. Like tree removal and fall cleanups. Work is still shaky.......we're ready for an improvement in this economy and NOW!!!

    Vitamin D fortified milk has corn in it!

    I just shared this info with my Facebook friends. This is mortifying. Good thing I don't buy the crap!

    Vitamin D fortified milk has corn in it!

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    I did some reading about leaky gut, and that sounds about right. The fact that this all started around the holidays when I was eating what family had made plus lots and lots of cookies makes me think I damaged my ability to digest well. My poor intestines need help. So, I'm planning a two...

    Elimination Diet has alleviated my RA symptoms

    Maybe someone can suggest something for me. Two years ago, during the holidays I suddenly, out of the blue became extremely constipated. So weird, because I'm a vegetarian and had been so regular you could set your watch to it. The cramping and nausea was so bad I just sat there and cried. I...
