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...
Brrrr! It has been super cold (think high of 1 degree) and super snowy. I love the beauty of falling snow, but the driving and dirty, icky salt all over after is not as much fun.

I finally got to go to the chiropractor again!! My tailbone has been hurting me still (a year after a bad fall during roller skating) and my back and neck are so tense, causing me headaches that shouldn't be happening. So, I was overjoyed to see a new chiropractor and friend. Besides the awesome adjustment, I also had a blast talking "natural" with her. It is rare to be able to talk with someone who totally "gets" my lifestyle and doesn't look at me like a total weirdo for all the healthy lifestyle habits we choose.

I am inspired by...
My husband. When does he not inspire me? He is the sweetest, most loving man who works harder than anyone with only a rare complaint. He is finishing his book, hoping to self-publish in the new year, working long days as a plumbing apprentice, and on his days off what does he do? He makes me cookies! He cleans the house! He helps out however he can! Thank you, honey!!!

My favorite thing this week was...
trying to keep my son warm at the bus stop in my pajamas and boots, with a coat thrown on and bare feet in my boots. I started freezing, and what does he do? He starts rubbing my legs to keep them warm. So sweet!

What's working/not working for me...
Working -I have been having a lot of fun being silly with my husband. We had previously been in a pattern of watching TV at night and then just going to bed after without really connecting. This week, I have been acting totally silly at night to bring some fun and humor back into our relationship, and luckily, he gets my silliness and totally plays along. Never underestimate the power of laughter. :-)

Not working -I am still troubled by a broken relationship with one of my siblings. I am praying about it, and trying to figure out what to do....

Questions/thoughts I have...
I cannot WAIT to go to Puerto Rico with my hubby ALONE in January!!!!

I'm reading...
The Doctor Lady by Jody Hedlund, Encouragement for Today Devotional by Proverbs 31 Team,  Creative Correction by Lisa Whelchel,  lots of children's books!

I'm cooking...
Pumpkin Soup, Baked Salmon, treats, and Crock Pot Meatballs

I'm grateful for...
sweet children, moments of learning, family who are kind and loving, conversations of honesty, silliness, laughter, smell of cookies baking, call from an old friend, and a furnace that works!
