Second Run

Pheww, ran this morning, made sure my ipod was charged, running was still more difficult but not because I was tired, simply put, running is more difficult when you're unable to fully expand your chest and breathe, ha! Oh well, I'm definitely on the mend and I was able to run 2.78 miles running speed 5.5-6. Again no knee pain, I'm very excited about that! Until next time, : p.

Homemade Boppy Pillow

Image
Okay, so for those of you who have looked at my registry, I did register for a boppy pillow but I also wanted to make one myself. I used material from an old cotton sheet we don't use anymore and can't help but wonder if store bought is better than homemade when it comes to this. Anywho, I figure if my pillow is just as good as store bought the registry one can always be returned and if my homemade one fails then I have a genuine boppy as well. Here goes nothing.... I printed out the pattern on the computer and had to tape the pattern together to make this. I got the pattern  here Fold your fabric, or sheet, in half, place pattern along folded side and cut two of the pattern out. Pin the two pieces together with RIGHT sides facing each other. Sew around edges, leaving opening for stuffing, I left my opening right in the middle but you can do whatever you want. Turn right side out and press Stuff pillow to desired consistency Hand sew the opening shu...

My Toxic Life

Image
Oh me oh my, I've been on this real food journey for a while. My ability to feed my family real food is limited to my budget but I do the best I can to feed my family whole organic foods. I'm frequently frightened to see what's in our food. Even feeding my family healthfully. Like say chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets, my chicken has arsenic and the chickens are fed GMO feed? Are you kidding me? Well, thank God for Costco that is where I get my organic meat it's not pasture fed but it's the best I can afford. Recently, I was taking a prenatal vitamin and after I swallowed it I thought, I wonder what the ingredients are, after all I take this so when we conceive again (hopefully) that my folic acid level is healthy and whatnot, well come to find out my vitamins since they aren't organic are full of toxins. Eesh. Nearly three months ago I looked at what's in my shampoo, yikes. Thus began my "no shampoo" journey. So far, I'm w...

Cream-O

Image
Hey guys, Not that I proclaim to be an uber healthy cook, I do like to think I try. I hadn't realized until recently that cream o soups like campbell have MSG in them. This is not the end of the world by any means but it made me think, I'll bet that isn't very hard to make. The first one I attempted was cream of chicken soup, the recipe was so easy and fast. Add spices, milk and chicken broth, bring to boil Whisk in flour, continue to stir Incorporate flour until slightly thickened, allow to cool and you're done. This was so simple, it had a much more rich chicken flavor than canned cream of chicken soup. You can also throw in little bits of chicken but I didn't do that this time. I had recently come across this recipe on how to make cream of mushroom soup in a microwave in 5 minutes. I got the recipe here . It was indeed very simple, I did discover I'm not overly fond of the smell of raw fresh mushrooms but that is beside the point. ingre...
