Crud be gone!

I'm so ready for this bug to be gone.  It's not as bad as it could be and for that I'm thankful.  It's hanging on just enough to make it a nuisance. I'm tired.  I'm cranky.  I'm achy.  And, it seems like the little lovebugs are catching it too.

My motivation for cooking has been low this week.  My body is feeling it.  The family is feeling it.

I need to get mah mojo back!

Out with the old. In with the new.

The new year is off to a great start.  Life has been keeping us busy! I'm doing a little bit of Spring Cleaning and organizing.  I don't want to get rid of everything but we have a lot of stuff that we don't need/use.  I would rather not be wasteful!

We've started the transition to organic food.  Small steps so far but Rome wasn't built in a day! I'm buying within our budget and the transition to organic will take some time.  We started with organic almond milk.  Almond milk has almost completely phased out our dairy milk.  What a good feeling!  I like that the local grocery store, HEB, offers a good selection of organics!

I have not picked up my Canon at all this year.  I'm hoping to change that! I need to get updated pictures of the girls! They are growing up too quickly! Lo's still a tiny little peanut though her vocabulary is pretty advanced for her age.  Annika is back to school after the Winter Break and she's loving every minute of it.  She's taking on fourth grade like a champ! I'm so proud of her.

I'm determined to be consistent with menu planning this year.  I would like to see what difference it makes! I'm sure that it can't hurt!

All in all, life is pretty good right now.
