I’m going camping!!! It’s been forever. Honestly 5 years. For me that’s forever. I use to go every weekend in college. It’s a family reunion, and i think it will be fun.

Heading out to grab a fathers day present. My little niece, the one who was born at 2 lbs is 4 months old this week. She weighs 6 lbs now and is doing great. This picture is just too cute not to share. She’s a little miracle and i love her so much. Every picture just makes me smile. So here’s my Happy Friday present to you all.

Love you guys – FS

WARNING: When adding a dash of basil to your tomato and cheese omelet, i suggest using the little holes provided on the “bulk” size container of basil. Otherwise your omelet will become a mountain of green that smells delicious but is no longer edible =)

Hope you all had a great week.

Stress Eating
I acknowledge that I’m a stress eater. “What you deny strives” so no more denyin’ it i just eat when I’m stressed, emotional, excited, (both kids are screaming at the same time instead of napping =), D all of the above triggers a habit of stress eating.

Habit Changing
Well yesterday when i was about to pull out all of my hair, and grabbed a box of graham crackers (still a pretty healthy alternative to chocolate and good at boosting serotonin) i stopped in my tracks and recognized in the moment exactly what i was doing. I decided to put the box of graham crackers back in the cupboard and replace this unhealthy habit starting now.

I drank a tall glass of water, i popped in a piece of chewing gum, and decided instead of stress eating i would stress clean. I cleaned the whole downstairs, and some of the upstairs too. It looked amazing, and the sense of accomplishment and getting something off my to do list sure felt better then i feel after eating chocolate or a box of graham crackers.

Any who, there’s my a-ha moment of the week.

Walking Path
I also got to check out the path by our home. I like it better than the other path i used last summer. It’s smooth, and there is no canal that i have to worry about my kids veering off into while ovoiding crashing into other kids on the path, this one has painted lines that help keep the chaos to a minimum, and even mile markers every 1/4mile. I’m living it, and little shaded benches here and there. All provided by the city. Sweet! The other one was city too just a little more of a fancy side walk which made loud noises with my bike trailer/ jogging stroller. Wow am i ever long winded.

Nut Allergies
Kids are both allergic to nuts. One is allergic to tree nuts, the other allergic to peanuts. So either way if we just say all nuts (or things that may contain nuts) were covered. None of our siblings or parents have nut allergies. But on my side of the family there are 6 out of 3 that have a nut allergy. That is just weird.

Hope you all enjoy your weekends, and get some good healthy sunshine one way or another.
