I'm Thankful For...The Right to Vote

Day 7

Today I'm grateful to live in a country where I get to vote! Even though who I chose to vote for may or may not get elected I know that it is a privilege! Many people fought for our rights to vote over the years & I'm glad they did! Now it's time to pray! Pray for our president & the decisions that he will have to make in the next four years! Pray for our country that we can stand together in these hard times! Pray for our media & the information they report to us. That is will contain truth over lies! Pray for the young adults that are just starting out to be informed! Pray for our children & whatever the future will hold for them! Overall it's just a time to pray for America to stay the way the founders intended it to be! A free market place where people like my hubby can start a business and be successful! A place where dreams really do come true! A place to call home, where you know your neighbors & we all support each other! Join with me in this time to pray for everyone in our country & the world with the decisions that all the leaders are going to make. Pray they will seek God & follow the directions He gives so we can live in a world that God is directing!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
