    Celebrating Life & Making NEW Memories!

    My household has been so super duper crazy these past few months as you probably assume seeing that I have fallen off the twitter, facebook and blog planets!

    And I have written a few posts recently about my busy life. I have to say that I hate that! We're all busy! So, I'm sorry for claiming to be "too busy"! We're never too busy to sit down and do something we enjoy. The problem is when there's too many things you enjoy. 

    Like for example, I have been focusing more on my company {which I enjoy} but less on feeding my family homemade {super} foods! But that means I have been buying more snacks to make up for it! And this is a good thing sometimes: I LOVE getting to try new stuff like Living Intentions Hemp Superfood Cereal, {#9}have you TRIED IT? Please tell me you have? If not, DON'T BUY IT. You'll just want more.

    - I've been getting my hair cut {#7}.

    - Visiting with my mom and grandma and friends that are in town visiting from the UK.

    - Been reading and discussing some parenting articles and magazines with friends - i.e. these two articles that I came across today really stirred up some thought and debate thought. One being about feminism and stay-at-home moms. The other about breast feeding and model Gisele.

    Read them and of course their comments. They will get your brain going. You'll either like what you read or hate what you read or a little of both. I like the articles; they will for sure get you thinking - about both sides and all sides - but again there are some that do not like to hear any of it or ever hear the other side! oh well. 

    - I've been spending lazy afternoons at the L'Auberge pool, just for fun with our boys. 

    - Going to Lego Land {#10}

    - Watching my second son learn to walk {#6}. 

    - Just this week I've been getting back into making some of my fav recipes. Like some coconut jerky, kale chips and raw cheese, too. 

    - Making up weird new recipes like peaches n' cream oatmeal - didn't quite make the PUREmamas cut but it was good {#2}

    - Been busy shopping for a new sofa - our last one was ruined and I'm secretly happy - but going to miss the memories of us all hanging out on the teeny tiny little old one that we have definitely outgrown {#3} 

    - Drinking watermelon juice

    - Celebrating Wes' birthday - he LOVES beer by the way {#11}

    - Enjoying the outdoors, including bike rides {#8}

    - I've been in a really great chardonnay mood. Found a bottle that I loved

    - Watching the kids celebreate life doing really simple toddler stuff. Like taking a bath {#4}

    - Or getting into trouble using daddy's hair products without us knowing {#5}

    It's really amazing when you are raising a family and working really hard on something you love but FEEL like you've been on vacation all the while. Wow. I feel super lucky today. It took me writing blog post for me to realize that.

    Welcome to my 20-year plant-based journey.

    Join me on this journey; I'm here to serve and help.

    I trust the science that backs it. More about me →

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
