Well, it is only 1:30 and I have gotten quite a lot done! Why is it that I am either super productive or super lazy?? Today is full of things I haven't done before so I thought I'd blog about it!
Well, I guess most importantly, today is the first day of Lent. And I have decided to observe it this year. I don't think that there is anything wrong with observing some of the holidays, rituals of the liturgical calendar. In fact, I think many of the events have great meaning and can really enhance your spiritual life. So, this is the first year that I will be celebrating Lent. As sacrifice is a large element to Lent, I have decided to give up cheese. This is HUGE!! I love cheese very much. All kinds. Brie, cheddar, gouda, smoked gouda...mmm. So I thought this would be a great thing for me to sacrifice over the net 40 days. I am also reading a book over this time
called Power and Passion. It is about the power of Jesus' resurrection to transform lives. Should be really interesting. It has a prayer and questions for each chapter. And it was written to be read during Lent, the time leading up to Easter. Anyways, I hope I have the will power to do this because I think it will be a great thing.
Ok, so next up for the morning was homemade granola bars. I love granola bars but they are expensive and not necessarily that good for you. So I made some this morning and LOVE the result! They are chewy and sweet but also have lots of good for you stuff in them too. Like almonds, flax seed, lots of oats, and of course dark chocolate! Next batch I'm going to try craisins. I'm so crazy!!
And I am starting to make True's baby food. It is super easy and I like it because it has nothing in it but the food itself! I like it also because i can leave the peels on some of the food for extra fiber and nutrients, that's why the applesauce is pink!
He doesn't really like the apples but he's doing ok with the pumpkin.
And finally I didn't do this this morning but thought I'd show you the results. I bought some of those wall words at, the near and dear to my heart, hobby lobby in BG with lauren. I am happy how this turned out. And if it's crooked don't tell me because I'm too lazy to measure so I just eye ball it!
Ok- have to go... baby is cranky (teeth plus needles= not good) and laundry on the line! love you all!
