Commitment to my family

So as part of my blog revival I should catch you up on what Lindsey has done to me....she ruined my life & made me conscious of a new layer to "healthy eating"....& by "ruined my life" I mean made me aware of all the processed crap food that I was eating & feeding my kids to the point that I had to make some big changes...which at times has been exhausting & stressful & left me starving & staring at my pantry longing for the old foods to be there again for my convienience...but overall I think has greatly improved our whole family's quality of life. I'm by no means, to the level of some of my friends in this quest for "whole/real foods", but baby steps have led to some big changes and I'm sure will continue to gradually redefine our eating habits & health in general. I'll share some of my new perspectives & perhaps achieve some new goals through the new posts to this blog. 

So, basically, if you want to open your eyes in the same way I did you will be reading some fascinating views & opinions-some that have fed some of my own opinions & some that have left me thinking they are crazy-but fascinating to read & ponder all the same. Just be cautious that some things are OPINIONS and you should not go over board basing your new life policies & doctrines on OPINIONS...however, some things can be found in multiple resources & in multiple ways with many different spins to help you form your own opinions & options that will work for YOU and YOUR family. I like to form my opinions & lifestyle according to the motto "all things in moderation". So, with that mind, I started my research & learning from www.100daysofrealfood.com and then found all kinds of links and information through her info as well as posted comments & links shared in those comments. I enjoy her perspectives and her own counter perspectives shared or commented on. So if you are curious & wanting to make some changes for the better start there and research for yourself then you can understand a bit of my perspectives (although not always to the extreme). I also have been lucky enough to use some of my friends & their knowledge to aid me in this journey so I hope to post some new recipes that we are loving as well as information as I learn it to help me/us know how to modify some eating habits &/or recipes to hopefully improve our quality of life as well as to change the new fear that we will be the first generation to outlive our children. I DO NOT WANT THAT TO BE THE CASE FOR MY FAMILY!!! I WANT MY CHILDREN TO BE HEALTHIER THAN ME!!! So start your research & stay tuned for some of my insights 😄
