Best Diet?

I think it's interesting the many ways people try to be healthy. I know vegans, vegetarians, carnivores and people who are always on the latest diet craze. Oh and the people who think Splenda helps them lose weight.....that's my favorite. Anyway I found this article and I think it's hits the nail on the head. Anyone who knows me knows I hate cooking but I totally agree that the absence of disease in many cultures can be attributed to eating and cooking REAL food and not all the processed crap that is shoved in our faces daily. Food for thought, no?

Summer Outings

Jonathan has 3 days off this week! I love having him home and we've been beaching, grilling,walking, and field tripping. Here are some pictures of our fun times.

Quotes from my Kids

AJ: (while watching the Today Show with me): "They show this every day."
Me: "What's that AJ?"
AJ: "Those guys pushing those flowers around." (Michael's Jackson's memorial).
Eliana: "When is it going to stop raining Momma? Maybe in 2 weeks?"

Happy Birthday Eliana!

I can't believe my baby is three!!! Here are some party pictures.

Can it please be summer now?

Things are getting a little ridiculous here in good old New England. There have been 23 days in June so far and I think it's only been sunny and warm for 6 of them. So much for "climate change." Tonight we had chicken soup for dinner and I normally don't make soup in the summer months cause it's to hot to boil a chicken for 2 hours. And my poor petunias are just not doing well with all this wind and rain. Sigh...longing for the beach and sun and 90 degrees and no, being pregnant does not make me enjoy this prolonged spring!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all you expecting moms out there....

My friend Lynn posted this on FB and I think it makes many good points!

Summer is here!

So AJ graduated preschool on Friday and is now a big 5 year old ready for Kindergarten in September. Even though it's been cold and rainy here I am so happy it's summer and I can't wait to get our beach pass!!!! My favorite season...sigh. During the summer I try to do "field trips" once a week and today's was to the Easton Children's Museum. We hadn't been there in a year and AJ and Eliana had such a good time (so did I actually). I would have loved to take some pictures but our camera broke a couple of weeks ago and we haven't gotten around to getting it fixed yet. Soon though, as those disposable ones are so convenient but develop horrible pictures and are totally not worth even the 5 dollars it costs you to buy them. If anyone has any other fun, inexpensive day trips/outings they do in the summer please let me know. I'm always looking for new ideas.
