Food!

I feel like I am on information overload! I have been really convicted about what I am feeding my family. To say our budget is tight would be an understatement. I want to use the money God has blessed us with as wisely as possible. I am trying to get away from any processed foods, and when I look in my pantry it makes me sad. My husband is a " bargain shopper " by nature, but we don't always see eye to eye on what "bargains" to buy for our family. I am doing as much reading as I can while my kids nap or after they go to bed at night. The more I read the more convinced I am that taking the time to buy whole foods and make as much as possible from scratch needs to start now! I am saddened by how much soy is in our food. My mom's cancer Dr. has made it very clear that she should not eat soy. It is not good for you and can cause harm in the long run. It is in all kinds of things, like any sauces I buy, and even the bread we eat. Ugh! I am trying not be discouraged, and instead use this as a motivation for change. Wish me luck!! I will need it. Now, off to bake something :)

Happy Birthday Jackson

I get a failing grade in the birthday department this year. Our family is just a little out of sorts right now with all the transition going on. We did have a little party on Saturday with Grandma Joy and Clint's side of the family. Jackson's "actual birthday" was the 19th. I wanted to do a special dinner, but things just sort of blew up, so I took the kids to Sonic and the park. He was probably happier going to the park anyway....
Happy birthday to my sweet little boy, the past two years have gone way too fast!
