Where does the time go?

I’m having one of those weeks where the hurrieder I go, the behinder I get. Do you have those? I’m sure you do, LOL! Right this second, I’m trying to figure out how it came to be that I went three days without posting here. And also, if the laundry will ever be completely done again. And how to get Drama to go potty in the actual toilet instead of wherever the urge hits. And maybe how to change our current eating habits without making everyone totally angry at me.
One of my children is beginning (ha?!?) to have a real weight issue. Now, I’ve struggled with my weight all my life, and she doesn’t know it yet, but she’s headed for a hard time in a few years. I don’t want her to be taking diet pills or to deal with esteem issues, so changes are in order here. I don’t buy stuff that’s marked low fat, as a rule, since they all taste pretty bland to me and I prefer to have just a little of the good stuff, or even none at all that to have a flat substitute, so I will needing to look at different preparation methods, and more raw food choices. Summer is here, and that is a great time to put out healthier choices. We’ll be needing to be a little more active, too. Notice I am saying “we”; what’s good for her will be good for the rest of us, too, I think.
So! less frying, more walking. And what’s going on at your house?



God bless your Sunday! More walking….my daughter has taken to walking with me and finding fairy forts and other kids and huge rocks galore. I hope you have an adventure!
Get a steamer. I found one at a yard sale for only $5 and it’s the best $5 I’ve ever spent. Well, you can buy new if you want..lol. Anyway, you can put veggies or rice in the steamer and just let it cook. No stirring. No fat. Just great flavor and super easy. I’m all about easy these days with my schedule, so steamer cooking is a big deal here.
How much do they hold?
You might need two steamers to feed your family, but mine will make at least 4 cups of rice in the bottom tray. I blogged all about it a day or so ago.
Cool beans! And also, hot rice
