life's simplest pleasures and life's greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
Today was the last day of the challenge and in some ways it was the easiest days. I mean it’s Halloween and my husband’s birthday so it was a day full of fun and celebration! We were up in the morning to make coffee (we pulled out our real pot since Ben loves coffee but […]
Well today was a special and unique day. Not too many photos to share but one of the more beautiful days this month for me. This morning I did my full breakfast (part of this low carb challenge is figuring out what works for my blood sugar levels – it’s different for everyone. So far […]
So I did not get to Ruth’s challenge today of working on the budget but I will this weekend! Today was a very full and productive day so I find myself blogging from bed. 🙂 To be honest I’m just impressed that only once did I have to double up on my writing during this […]
Today was a good day! I got up and got in a nice walk with just the dog. Great way to start my day post breakfast. My fasting number (for those of you following the blood glucose challenge) was high. I’m a bit stumped but not deterred. I am determined to get control […]
Today was overwhelming, in the best kind of way. First of all I was able to get a walk in, with just the dog. Thanks to a hubby who is really trying to help and enable me to be healthy. Plus we got a few things done around the house and made it to […]

Sundays are one of my favorite days! We usually head of church in the morning and then on this particular gray and drizzly day we are headed out on a family outing to the miracle Ranch harvest festival! This is a tradition for us and is our third year doing it. 2013 at the Miracle […]
This weekend should be fun. It has started off well as I got up and got breakfast (1 egg and 1 slice of whole multi grain toast with a touch of peanut butter and glass of water) and then off on a walk. I’m including those food details because some are just now joining […]
Well today was a bit harder. I am still not in a position to fully accept Ruth’s challenge of selling things as right now in our temporary home we are only living with 1/3 of our belongings so there isn’t much we are not actively using that I could sell. I do think as […]
Well I was thrown another unexpected curve ball. Yesterday after talking with my midwives I had to really re-examine my fridge, pantry, and freezer. I need to watch my blood sugar levels as I am now 32 weeks pregnant and several of my numbers were high in my 3-hr glucola test. This is very […]
