60 days

***I am new to this blogging thing but I am just going to jump in.  Share my stories.  Share my life.


Well, something about our family is that we tend to be extreme visionaries!  This kind of follows us in every area of life.  We have both had seasons of eating well, being active and being in the Word.  However, we have also had seasons where those kind of took the backseat... this is the season I feel like I am coming out of now.  This has been a busy last few months with Thanksgiving, Christmas and then all 5 of my children's birthdays!  I am ready to slow down, find that routine that got lost and restore my health- physically, spiritually and mentally.  Starting tomorrow and for the next 60 days (ending Easter morning) my goals are:

1.  Begin reading through the Bible again

2.  Only have plant based food in the house to eat and cook

3.  Exercise for 30 min. 5x/ week  (This used to be my warm up!)

4.  Include a 7-10 day juice cleanse

5.  Find our routine while teaching a healthy work ethic to my children

Now, I am known better for coming up with ideas than I am about sticking to them... only time will tell but I will share about my experience as I go.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin which so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

Four Years Later...

 Here we are... four years later, 2 more kiddos and lots more love!
Well, it has almost been four years exactly and I am ready to be back!  Since I last posted we have had two more children... two girls matter of fact!  It would be hard to catch up so I will just start for today... Today, I give thanks.  I am thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me with the love of Christ and for my five children who love me in the same way!  May I shower that same love over everyone that I come in contact with...  Lord, let your light shine.


And these three remain: faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.
