I am doing my first C25K today, not yesterday…not sure what I was thinking as we had a cookout with friends last night and I don’t think running with all four girls would be very productive when trying to follow a program. I will post my torture reportprogress post-run.
A food post! Yes, a real food [...]

raindrops keep falling

at the zoo. It seems that anytime I think I will bring the kids to the zoo, it rains. Our zoo is over an hour away, thankfully there are other indoor things to do in the area.
This last time, we waited it out and went in the afternoon after the rain blew through. We had arrived [...]
real food

Jenny over at the Nourished Kitchen recently cited me as one of her top ten under-appreciated real food bloggers. (blush) Me? I really just started with an adoption blog and fell in love with the flavors of real food along the way. Then the real foods started making us feel better and healthier so I write [...]
So very happy

There are two things right now making me very happy. I figured since my last post was full of complaints why not brighten things up around here and share:
As of today I am down 10 lbs! I feel like celebrating. I’ve really kicked up the exercise. Currently I am doing Yoga 3 days a week [...]

Chapter 7: Daddy vs. Nancy Drew

I really keep myself busy: cooking, cleaning, sewing, baking, homeschool, family, etc. and so-on. I really need more in my days, right? This post will be to the point and with lots of pictures to make up for the lack of words.
1) I need more to do so my husband is the one kind enough [...]

On top of the near constant snow we have had, it has been darn cold. They are saying it’s the coldest winter in ten years. I believe it. In the last twenty-four hours we have gotten a foot of snow on top of what was already there, just looking outside makes you feel cold.
So what’s [...]
birthdays

Birthdays at Trying Traditional are a fairly low-key affair. The older two have had one party with friends…one. It sounds awful to some and a dream to others. Here’s a bit of a shocker for you.
