Friday Fun!

Living healthy natural lives is not always the easiest thing, which is why I started my blog - to inspire and help others live their best life healthfully and naturally. Friday Fun is my way of sharing a bit of my life with you, my readers and friends, and I hope you will be willing to share your thoughts and ideas with me too.

So, here we go!

In my life this week...
Well...I honestly don't remember much of the week. Isn't it sad that I have to go back and look at my calendar to remember? Oh my...

Well, I got in some leaf raking. (No, that wasn't on my calendar :-)) It snowed. Hmmm...I got in some great workouts, and my knee is still doing wonderfully, which I am so thankful for. I got to see two of my sisters, which was nice. I got to Skype with my father and mother-in-law, which was also nice.

We got a note that a mother of one of my son's classmates has cancer, and we are able to help out just a little bit by bringing a meal for their family next week. I just cannot imagine what that family and so many more that are also fighting that battle are going through. I am praying for all of you!

I am inspired by...
looking back at pictures of the past several years. I love seeing my children when they were even smaller than they are now. It makes me appreciate them in all new ways.

My favorite thing this week was...
having my husband home yesterday. It was nice to have him to talk to and laugh with, and I had the opportunity to help out a desperate fitness instructor in need of a sub.

What's working/not working for me...
Working - My 2 year old daughter started getting up all by herself at night to go to the bathroom. Such a big girl! That same daughter is the one whose skin I was having troubles with. This week, I also tried adding in fermented vegetables to as many of her meals as I could, to get her live enzymes at every meal. I think it is all helping. Her skin is now about 95% better! Yay!

Also, got our gigantic credit card bill (thanks to a new washer, car problems, etc.) but we are able to still pay it all off with the extra large Shaklee check I got this month and a few bonuses my husband got at work. God provides!!

Not working - I have been praying for several people who are really hurting. It hurts my heart to know they are in pain, but the best thing I can do right now is just pray.

Questions/thoughts I have...
I love the way music can cut right to my heart. So powerful!

I'm reading...
 Encouragement for Today Devotional by Proverbs 31 Team,  Creative Correction by Lisa Whelchel, Simply Real magazine, lots of children's books!

I'm cooking...
I am making another whole chicken in the crock pot tonight. I also made Chicken Tacos in Lettuce Wraps in the crock pot, and pumpkin soup

I'm grateful for...
warm baths in essential oils and salts, my boss' safe birth of her baby boy, fun story hours at the library, a friend who cares about my feelings, laughter and silliness, beauty of a fresh snow fall, new music
