Healthy Living

Adorable, isn't she? :)

My little Raegan-Roo has been sick for the past couple of days. Thankfully, we got her to the doctor's and on meds before the ear infection had even begun to fully develop.

But though she's been sick, she's remained as sweet as can be. Even with a near 104 temperature, she's still been laughing and playing and dancing. Generally, just being her sweet self. ;)

Ironically, this sickness comes in the middle of a sudden on-set desire to completely change the way we eat as a family. To begin to really take note of what we put in our mouth, with the intent of moving towards a healthier (cheaper) lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong. We don't eat lots of junk. We never have sugary cereals. We rarely have red meat. We don't buy soft drinks, except for the people who are coming to our parties. We don't buy sugary snack food. We try to get enough fruits and vegetables. And we just recently told the girls that they can have one dessert a week.

So yeah. I'd say we do try and eat healthy. But there's just been this awakening of a passion to try harder. Maybe it's in the wake of my recent physical challenges? ...or not. Maybe it's because I suddenly have ALSO had a renewed passion to get rid of ALL of our debt?

Out of that mindset, I've begun to rethink the possibility to create a vegetable garden behind our shed. My way of killing two birds with one stone, I suppose. Save money and eat well. AND as of today, I've decided to do yet another yard sale.

Basically I just want to simplify. Grow vegetables. Eat healthier. Save money. Use said money to pay off house. Get rid of any remaining clutter. Yep. That about sums me up these days....OCD. *wink*
