Updated: The girls over at Pure2Raw are having a giveaway! Yippee! Check it out.

Crazy days! I've had lots of things going on lately so as per my usual, I haven't been writing a whole darn lot. :) I sure enjoy visiting many of my blog friends though. Always a treat.

Seeing/reading all of your blogs I AM SO EXCITED to get back into the kitchen and start whipping up some raw culinary delights! Currently, I'm not where I want to be with raw yet and since I'm nursing still I want to be careful with how I venture back into it. I also have a plan to do things differently to ensure success: i.e. menu planning, designated prep and D-days (dehydrating) and also storage (making extra of stuff to always have on hand).

Today, I received my sample pack of The Morrocco Method shampoos and conditioners and other fun goodies. If you're familiar with Kristen's Raw she did a review of the line here. And if you're not familiar with Kristen's Raw, WHY? :) Definitely worth your time. My review of the products to follow in the near future. Just have to remember low foam.

Our little bambino is growing and growing and on the move! He's nine months now and doing everything he should be at this time. He does an army crawl of sorts which is so cute because his little bum pops up in the air! He's trying to crawl on his knees which causes him to do that. And he says Mama too (among other things)! He's eating soft solids (has been for about three months now) and loves most things he tries (almond meal!). He especially loves squash topped off with spirulina. He's also a fan of Papa's smoothies. Check 'em out! Oh and the pics there are super cute too if I say so myself (wink!). He has four teefs! ha ha! Yeah, he's getting his chompers and is working on another pair. Oh and he laughs! He loves to laugh! And he's discovered his voice over the last few months and seems to only get louder. Such a boy. Okay, I could go on and on about him.

I'm here, I'm alive and working towards getting back into the swing of things but I've said that before - priorities right? I can't stay committed to many things these days (if you're friends with me on facebook or even twitter you'll notice I'm a little slow chiming in or just less active at times). I have been enjoying American Idol though - it's on after YS2 has gone down for nigh-nite. Don't have a favorite just yet and I have to say I like Ellen as a judge. What do you think? My other guilty pleasures that are coming on this week, Survivor and Amazing Race. Okay, enough. I'm out.

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
