To Wellness and the Creative mind

Mom, Artist, Health Coach, daughter, sister and a wife.We all wear many hats during the day. How do we maintain balance? How do we not lose sight of what is important and real? We can help each other answer these questions by sharing what we have learned along the way.
Here I am going to share my thoughts and experiences with how we treat our bodies and the effects it has on how we think and feel.

No Coffee? Minus 18 days

Days at the lake can be a bit of a blurr, lots of activity, not a lot of down time. When coming to the lake we stop at the grocery store and after two hours in the car it is a power shop. How fast can we get out of here? So I forgot coffee. I have been cutting down, so no headache but around three pm the craving was pretty strong. Not strong enough to get me in the car. Instead I hopped in the row boat and took Quinn fishing.
When I can, I buy organic and locally grown food. Convenience is still an obstacle form me when it comes to shopping. The focus now tends to be on a wide variety of foods and flavors. Establishing good eating habits now in my children will help them in the future. Some get concerned about the cost, but I look at it as a long term investment. What someone eats effects their health. Better food, fewer doctor bills.
Power shopping list for the next 4 days: apples, grapes, cherries, watermelons, avocado, celery, carrots, tomatos, peppers, cucumbers, snow peas, purple and white cauliflowers, bananas, greek yogurts, eggs, milk, raisin bread, whole wheat buns, pancake mix, salmon, buffalo meat, chicken sausages, hummus, black beans, salsa and seltzers. $101.18
To hot to buy ice cream but maybe we can do S'mores.
