I am obsessed with LEMON. I love it’s taste in everything and I love it’s smell. I put lemon peels down our garbage disposal just to get that fresh lemon scent in my sink. Mmmmm… I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself when I’m off sugar but here’s yet another YUMMY round up!! Check out some of these AMAZING Lemon Recipes! Ahhh..
If you’re like me, you’ve seen many pins on Pinterest using hemp hearts. I used to just skip over them because I had no clue WHAT hemp hearts were, or HOW the heck to use them! That was until my good friend invited me to try a spoonful of them. She had just bought a bag from costco that looked like this:
I decided to take the plunge and delve into the world of hemp! There are so many ways to use these sweet little hearts! I was really excited because I have mostly been using a lot of animal protein in my diet to aid my weight loss efforts but regardless of any weight loss success I’ve had, I never really felt like it was the most healthy way to go because of how acidic animal protein is. I’m not a vegetarian by any means but replacing most of my animal protein with plant sources has felt a lot better on my digestive system. (I recently had my gall bladder removed and the digestive process just ain’t as good as it used to be!) So, here are 10 easy ways to eat hemp hearts!
So, when I wrote that post about decluttering, I was serious as a heart attack people! And I decided to go big or go home. It was time to face the elephant in the room. And I’m not exaggerating when I say elephant. I really might as well have had an elephant in my room. I had been putting this off for months… ok years, because it is soooo tedious and tortorous to deal with that I just could not force it to the top of my priority list, try as I might. If you are the mom of multiple children, especially if you have one of each gender, and if you are not sure you are done having kids (yeah- I know, I have 5 already, but my husband and I are just crazy enough to not be sure we are done)– then you know the elephant of which I speak. CHILDRENS CLOTHING STORAGE! I bet if they forced terrorists to sort, organize, and store children’s clothes from size newborn to junior 14- they would get them to talk everytime. There are few things I like to do less if I’m honest. Maybe clean up puke, but that’s about it.
They don’t tell you when you carry that newborn out of the hospital that you might as well go rent a storage unit for clothes right now if you are planning to have another one because otherwise, childrens clothes will take up half your apartment or house. Things had gotten entirely out of control around here, and the more out of control it got, the less I wanted to deal with it. But deal with it I must. So, I did. And having somehow survived that nightmare, I now would like to issue warnings and offer helpful tips to newer mothers who have no idea what they are up against yet, in the hopes that you might not be unnecessarily burdened by your children’s clothing as I have been. Let’s get this party started.
First off, just to help you understand the magnitude of the beast you may be up against, let me give you some visuals of what my week looked like. The goal here is to scare you into submission to the warnings and tips I am about to share.
