As you may or may not know I’ve slowly been working my way into a primal diet and exercise program as outlined in Mark Sisson’s book The Primal Blueprint.
A while back I started on the “Paleo” diet ~ which is actually quite similar ~ but the tone is quite different. It didn’t go very well. I love the way Mark lays out this lifestyle and how it is not regimented and the... 
Last weekend was the small town fair in the town my Mom lives in. We entered flowers and canning. The thing about this little town ~ and maybe others like it ~ the kids get Friday off for the fair. Yeah ~ they get the day off school so they can come to the fair.
There are tons of fun activities for kids ~ three legged races, turtle races, and of course the bike race.
Hanna had a bike. A old bike her Dad... 
As you may have read I had my first solo effort at canning this year. There were some ups and downs, and I came out with some respectable canned items.
Where we live there are little towns around, and each and everyone has to have their own fair. This week it’s the South Haven fair. My mom happens to live in South Haven so she’s pretty gung ho about this little fair. One of the highlights of... 
This week I was stunned. Literally stunned into a fury of silence ~ well not really silence because I’m not really a “silent” kinda gal. You can’t turn on a news program without a camera following around a bunch of obese people and complaining about how America is getting FAT. The highest obesity rate ever and on and on and on. And yet, in a public school meal program, on the... 
I have never been a big “bird person”. I think they’re nice, and I like to hear them chirp. However, a couple years ago I bought this little teeny tiny 2 oz hummingbird feeder just on a whim. (I think it was after we visited Colorado and saw tons and tons of hummers). To my surprise the hummingbirds CAME and stayed, and come back year after year.
I have had such fun over the last few... 
It’s another Monday and it seems I’m back on track with the menu! YAY. Got it done yesterday as well as the shopping. I planned the menu around what we had in the freezer and what was on sale at the store.
I’m also working on eating a more Primal diet, so our menu will also reflect that.
Monday:
Tacos (I’ll have taco salad instead of the shells)
Tuesday:
Crispy Rosemary chicken... 
Well… it’s almost over ~ our first summer since Hanna started school. It’s gone pretty well, and I’m excited for school to start.
Hanna’s teacher from last year has moved to a different school so she’ll be getting a new teacher this year. We’ve met her, as she stopped by earlier this week for the first of 2 “home visits” where we discussed goals and...
