What she are today 11-26

Today started off with Eloise's usual morning apple which allowed me to sit on the couch and drink some coffee before getting started in out real breakfast.

 We had an egg and broccoli scramble made with our pasture raised eggs. It's amazing how delicious eggs are when the chickens are left to do what they are supposed to do. Which is forage, eat grass, weeds and bugs. The shells are super hard and the yolks are a vibrant orange, full off good minerals and cholesterol for a growing brain. 



Eloise also got a spoonful of cocnut oil. She has got used to me giving her a spoonful of coconut every time I use it, so gets a spoonful most mornings. She also are half of a persimmon with her breakfast. 

We went to the store to get a few thanksgiving essentials and Eloise got to have an organic fruit leather thing for the way home. She is so cute, I usually give her a piece ten start driving, when she runs out she signs please and sticks her hand out for it. Also while I was putting the groceries away Weezy took a big bite of raw ginger. I didn't see her do it but I did see her trying deaperately to scrape out her mouth. Haha...

Lunch was leftover beef stew. I have to say this was the most amazing beef stew I have ever made, which is funny because I just threw it together whole Eloise was taking a nap and let it summer on the stove for a couple hours. I will try to post my recipe if I can remember what I did. I used Turri farms 100% grass fed beef. Soooo delicious. 



Weezy also ate some persimmon and kiwi with this lunch. 

We had to run to the farm to get out weekly csa box and Weezy snacked on some rice crackers in the car. I feel like I might be creating a monster, but the only way she tolerates car rides is if I provide her with snacks...so that is exactly what I do. 

After her nap she had some raisins and an apple which kept her occupied long enough for me to throw together a meat loaf, sweet potato fries and some sautéed chard and kale for dinner. Unfortunately it didn't all turn out that great. The meatloaf was good but the fries and veggies were a little salty. I was in a hurry and didn't pay very good attention. Weezy loved the fries and greens so that's good. She wasn't as into the meat but that's ok, because the fries were pretty filling and she are a lot of them. 



Looking back on today I realize that she are a tin of fruit...I hope it don't regret that tomorrow. If you are a parent you probably know what I mean.

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su...

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t...

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte...
