Online Goodies

I love shopping online. I love to browse the Internet and make fun wish lists.

I like to shop in stores to because it's fun to try things on but it's hard with a toddler.

She gets bored and I don't blame her.

 

Here are a few things I'm loving online lately:

The Cleanse

About a month ago I found a "simple" cleanse on Pinterest.

This year alone, I've been having some stomach issues that have occurred once to twice a month and thought to maybe try a cleanse to get all the sickness out of my system.

I eat pretty well and I do not over eat so I was a little worried on the stomach problems I was having.

 

The cleanse was the Jillian Michael's Cleanse which consists of:

64 oz of water

1 teaspoon of sugar free cranberry juice

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

1 dandelion (detox) tea bag

 

This cleanse if for 7 days.

 

Now, when I say "simple" I mean the ingredients are simple and cheap.

Some of the cleanses I looked up can cost you over $100 for just a few days.

I will be honest, I wish I would have thought the cleanse through better and prepared my body because I went for the full 7 days but felt miserable!

 

You really do not realize how much your body and mind relies on food.

I felt sluggish and horrible.

But after 7 days, I felt weak but lost 5lbs of water weight.

Crazy!

The weight came back after 2 days but I was really hoping this would cleanse me and my stomach issues would be gone.

 

A month later, while we were in California, I got sick, again!

I think I've realized what is causing the pain.

Orange Juice.

 

Makes me sad because I love orange juice but it is not worth the pain.

 

Anyways, the point of this post is that doing a cleanse is a very tough thing but I am so proud of myself for doing it and completing it.

The Green Thumb

It all started at Lowes.

While waiting for the house paint to be mixed, I wandered into the garden section and saw a pretty white trio vase.

Since then, I've been collecting indoor plant's and they are growing everyday!

 Jeremy started the garden in June and it's growing and producing quickly.

 We have Grape Tomato's, Cherry Tomato's, Large Tomato's, Jalapenos, Green pepper's, Strawberries, Cantaloupe, Green Beans, Cucumber's and Pumpkins.

 

We've already tried a Jalapeno and it was spicy.

Can't wait to make some homemade salsa.

 

Love,

A long long time...

Wow. I have not done a post for almost a year.

A child really does change your life!

The older she gets the more busy I am, she has me running around all the time.

We played in the snow this winter and worked on the downstairs remodel for a good chunk of our winter:

I hope to keep the blog updated again.
