Farmers Market

Wonderful Day for the farmers market. Got lots of beautiful veggies from a local organic farmer. Last year I went to visit their farm with my two boys. We saw all the animals and fed the goats. They have a huge bee hive and some of the best honey I have ever tasted. It is so satisfying to spend my money in a way that benefits my local community. Seeing their operation helped me to understand that I can live a "greener" lifestyle while still living in suburbia. Little changes in spending habits all help to the common good. there is lots to learn about canning, and preserving food but if I can learn a little each year some day my sustainability dream can come true. When I am ready for it. For now I will support the people who are already doing it and hopefully gain a bit of knowledge in the process.

first day of school

Today is Atreyu's first day of 2nd grade at DCS Montessori. We walked him in and he went right to an activity. No shyness, no hesitation. I hope and pray this will be an excellent fit for him. Halem starts on Thursday. We are all so excited. I will be driving there a lot! 3 times a day to be exact , but it will give me time to become a gym rat. Hopefully future posts will be something like this... "Wow awesome I lost 17 lbs and am loving my new life, kids are happy and my house is a well oiled machine"! Miracles happen folks i see them everyday within my children

Love to all
