If you like musicals (or don't!), this video is hilarious!:

Quick & Healthy Salmon Wrap

Rummaging through my options for lunch today I came up with this:

1 wild alaskan salmon patty (they sell them at Costco for salmon burgers)
1 Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain tortilla
2 tsp mayo
1 tsp horseradish
one leaf of organic romane lettuce
Braggs liquid amino

Cook the salmon and break it up, placing it in the tortilla. Mix the mayo and horseradish and pour on the salmon. Add the lettuce and wrap it like a burrito. Spray the liquid amino on per your taste as you eat (or mix it in with the mayo and horseradish before pouring it in the wrap).

Yum! A great way to get your omega-3's!

I would've taken a picture, but I was hungry...

My Husband Rocks Friday!

As most of those in my life know, I've been going through a bing and trying to discover health. Maybe that's overstating it, but it seriously has been consuming me. I started reading Diet for a New America then my SIL is letting me read The Maker's Diet, which I'm totally stoked about since it's biblical! We also are joining Azure Standards to get healthier foods a bit easier.

Anyway, through it all Red has heard out every crazy idea and thought that has come out of my reading and pondering. He's heard me out and helped me think logical. He's even up for eliminating pork from our diet (that is except when my dad BBQs it). He has been a great sport about this whole thing!

Now I know I'll never get rid of all the sugar or white flour in our lives since Red's addicted to it, but I know he'll at least be up for new recipes that use honey or agave or home-ground flour as substitutes in it. I don't know think any of my attempts at eating healthy would work if not for his full support.

Honey, thanks for encouraging me in this trek. I hope it leads to many more happy and healthy years together!

Haircut and Milestones

After putting up with the kids constantly pulling my hair out I contemplated shaving it all off, but, much to everyone's satisfaction, decided to cut it instead. Here it is:



On a more adorable note, Rusty's top teeth are coming in!:



Seems the ones right next to the middle ones are piercing through at the same time. No wonder he's been a little cranky!

And...his new name is wormie!:

My Husband Rocks Friday!

This past week I haven't felt like much of a mom. I get frustrated easily and I've noticed that I whine...still. Of course, being more aware of how much I suck has gotten me more motivated to do better.

With all that, this morning I found a card from my hubby on the table with a couple gift cards for iTunes. The card says, "I love you! Life's road is an adventure worth having 'cause it's with you!" So sweet! It also themes into our little road trip we're having today, which I was able to get some songs and a movie for with the gift card!

Honey, thank you for making my day! I love your spontaneity!

My Husband Rocks Friday!

The past week I've noticed how often Karrots yells for and asks for daddy. I don't know if this is a new thing or if I'm just that dense, but I think it's great! She even woke up around the time daddy is usually done with his shower in the morning and able to come get her and started yelling for him.

She's also constantly asking for him when she's awake and ready to get out of her crib and throughout the day. It's been a great tool in helping me get to to cooperate when we've been out and about and it's time to go home. All I say is, "wanna go see daddy?!" and she immediately gets excited and stops screaming, letting me put her in her car seat.

This shows what a great relationship they have. I don't ever remember screaming for my daddy...it was always mommy who had a compassionate heart to come get me.

Honey, you are an amazing father! Thank you for being so involved with the kids, especially Karrots! You are a great role model for all fathers!
