Today marks an important anniversary in our house. It was a day three years ago that I can’t forget. Both my husband and I on the exact same day each began a journey that has had a major impact on how we live our lives. It was May 22, 2016. I hadn’t been feeling well…
One year ago, I radically changed my diet over night. But the transition of how to feed my family has taken much longer to figure out. It’s one thing to change my own eating habits. It’s quite another to change someone else’s diet, especially when they are teenagers and might not want to make a…
How’s your January going so far? As much as I don’t like the cold weather months, I feel like January has been going as well as a super dark, freezing month in which the sun sets way too early and I barely ever go outside can possibly go. We still have nearly two weeks left in…
Until a few years ago, I had not ever participated in the practice of giving up something for Lent. I heard my friends talk about what they were eliminating during the 40 days leading up to Easter, but I couldn’t get up the motivation to do something that would purposely make my life more difficult. I loved the…
I’m wrapping up my month without social media, so I thought I would check in and give an update. I thought this would be a difficult month, fighting the urge to check in on friends on Facebook or get my fix of visual happiness on Instagram. Instead, this has been quite a transformative month for…
My husband and I aren’t coffee drinkers. Hot tea is our caffeinated beverage of choice. But at the beginning of winter, I started getting into a habit of making myself a cup of decaf coffee mid morning. It’s a nice way to warm up on a cold winter day, and let’s be honest. It’s more…
At the beginning of January, I did something I had never done before. I put on my workout clothes. I stood awkwardly in front of a blank wall, and I asked my daughter to take a photo of me. It was weird. I don’t love having my photo taken in general. But when I do,…
I was sitting at the table doing my devotional this morning, when I looked up and realized all of my materials were naturally arranged so photogenically! I didn’t even do this on purpose. They were just sitting in this configuration. Of course, I had to take a photo when I was done reading. But alas,…
I know we still have two days left in January. But because Sunday was the last day of my Whole 30, I feel like the month is over. For me, January wasn’t just about changing my eating habits, so I thought I would give an update on what happened this month. This first month of my…
That’s it. I can’t believe I only have ten more days until I’m done with the Whole 30. When I began, I thought my emotion at approaching the end of this 30 day journey would be joy and excitement. Instead, I would say I’m nervous for it to end. Once I passed the half-way point, my experience…
