A Better Way

Well often I have found myself in the depths of despair (the Anne of Green Gables sort of despair) and I have said "There has to be a better way." This is often followed by an intense spike in internet research and a revelation of sorts.

This past month I have become "sick and tired" of being "sick and tired" and sought out how I can change the health of my family. Thus my health, holistic journey began.

As Wyatt got sick again this last week I discovered that rubbing cinnamon essential oil on your feet aids in relief of congestion!! (It also turns your feet a little yellow, but hey no pain no gain)

We have also seriously increased our vitamin intake adding fish oil and vitamin C to our daily regime. On top of that our snacks now consist of almost totally healthy foods (with an occasional cheeto!)

Today I went to the grocery and this is what I bought for this next week:

Yogurt
granola
bananas
grapes
oranges
apples
whole wheat bread
cheese stix
cheese stix (cheddar)
water bottles (dont worry Grandaddy, they were SUPER cheap)
protein powder for smoothies
frozen fruit for smoothies
skim milk
spinach for smoothies (dont tell the kids!)
chicken breasts
sweet potatoes
skim milk
pretzels
corn
broccoli
brown rice


BAD STUFF
Sprite
saltine crackers
dr. Pepper (ok I caved!)

After I got home I made a green smoothie for all the family and they LOVED IT!!

Here was my recipe:

1tbsp OJ concentrate
skim milk
ice
frozen fruit (any)
a few leaves of fresh spinach

It was green! It will be good for my baby with yellow feet to drink the green smoothie...haha
