Wow! Is it already half way through January? I know we have not been as consistent with our blog posts the past couple of months, but we all know how busy the holidays can be and our lives are super busy just like yours!
On top of that, my dear sister RomaLee found out that she is going to be a grandmother for the first time! Now this family has always been know for greatness. Not only is she going to be a grandma, but a grandmother of TWIN GIRLS! We are all super excited to say the least. I'm sure you will be hearing all about it from her in the days ahead.

I personally have been having some health challenges for a while, so I have been put on restriction. That is always a fun way to start out the new year! I could call it a resolution, but it took me a while to resolve to do it. I have been gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and coffee free for 3 months now. While it has been a bit challenging, it has also opened up a whole new lifestyle for me. I am actually enjoying learning how to cook without. Without wheat, without milk, without sugar, without butter, you get my drift. I didn't know that you could actually do that and enjoy the taste of food! I will be sharing many healthy recipes with you in the upcoming months.
My latest venture has been green smoothies. I have several friends that have been making green smoothies for a while, so I thought, why not? I'll try anything once. Well I have found that once you get the right ingredients (too much celery definitely does not taste good) that they actually taste great and are so full of nutrients that you truly do feel great. I am now adding one green smoothie a day to my meal plans, and actually enjoying it. You can take any fruit of your choice and add greens (spinach, kale, mustard greens, you name it) to your food processor. Blend them all together, with a cup full of water or 100% juice and you have yourself a green smoothie. I had no idea how many different types of greens there were, and that they have so many great nutrients in them. It's all a learning a growing process, but if you are brave enough to give it a try, I'm sure you will feel the difference!
We look forward to sharing many adventures with you in 2012!
We hope you will share your adventures with us as well!
