30

So i always thought the people that lied about thier ages were just silly.....until i realized i am turning 30 in one month. Ew, i know. i am thouroghly (sp?) depressed. i feel like my skin is getting dryer and my hair is falling out now that i am turning 30 next month. such a wierd feeling.i will probably hide for a few days after i turn 30 in a deep depression.

MARCH- "de-clutter my life!!"

Wow, i am taking organizing to a whole different level...and it feels great!! I declared March as my "declutter my life" month for my happiness project and i am accomplishing so much. So far, i have purged/organized the kids closets and clothes, organized ALL my kitchen cabinets, organized the garage, organized my office more,....and all i have left is my closet, bathroom cabinets and nightstands!! Wahoo!! For some reason i can NOT relax or really be happy when i know things are secretly messy and not all neat and tidy. Here is a snap shot of my cookbook cabinet...trust me, this is a HUGE difference from before. I used to have to hold the papers in there while i shut the cupboard door so nothing would fall out...LOL Ghetto, i know.

Well, off to tackle my closet!!! yay! I'll post before / after pics soon!!

HEALTH STUFF

Most of you that know me, know that since last year, i have become a total health FREAK. I mean freak, because i am OBSESSED with what goes in my body and my kids. I dont do dyes, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, bottled juices(i freshly juice all the juice for our family twice a week), soda, anything white in grains(only WHOLE grains), and best of all....NO MEAT!!! Well, no anything that has ever had a heart beat! And dont tell me its mean to eat veggies, they never had a CNS(central nervous system) so it doesnt hurt when i chop brocoli heads people! We also eat dairy maybe once a week...only because i cant find a good vegan ranch dressing: ((( so sad i know....

So, anyways, i get request to post recipes that i make all the time that are vegan/vegitarian. So here is one i made this morning!! Sorry i forgot to take a pic...: ( bad blogger!!!


BANANA BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 banana
1 1/2 cups almond or coconut milk
1 T brown sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

*i am OBSESSED with my Vita Mix blender and i use it for this. I just dump everythiung but the flour in my vitamix, blend for 15 seconds, then keep it on low and add in flour. Then i dump in my blueberries and hand mix them in. dont blend. Then get your pan out...yada yada, add some earth balance buttery spread and some 100% maple syrup(do NOT by Aunt Jamimas artificial crap), go to Trader Joes, and eat up!!
Soooo good and not that bad for you, unless you are drinking the syrup from a straw!: )

The BOYS

look! its spider /cowboy/buzz lightyear man!

mini trent!

When i imagined being a mom, i never thought i would have boys. What do you do with boys? They are dirty and stinky and messy?!?! Well, i got 2...so far! And i love them SO much ! They drive me seriuosly insane alot of days, but at the end of the day, when i go to check on them sleeping, i thank god for my 2 little blessings. Without them, i would be a total looser. they make me want to be a better person every day. Words dont describe a mothers love. its awesome.:)
