Friday Night
In honor of Julie Andrews, here my "favorite things" this week:
1. NPR interview with Michael Pollan, author of Food Rules:
2. Ray earning the Star Student Award.
3. Jonah leaving me a sign this morning thanking me for the fish I made last night. (He was at a movie night at school, so his food was in the "warmer" when he got home. I wasn't even sure he'd feel like eating. BUT, this morning I woke up to a big sign--literally--that said, "That was the best fish I've ever had. I'm not kidding mom. Thank you." Is that a riot? It make me so grateful to have a son who's so thoughtful/expressive. Holy cow. And it makes me grateful to have a son that likes FISH!)
3. Dave taking some time off on Wed. to help while I worked.
4. The kids donating to Haiti.
5. Kaya getting a math award.
6. The snow and rain.
7. Granola, peanuts, cranberries, and leafy greens. They saved us this week--our first week of trying to eat healthier. Woo hoo!
8. Reading Stephanie Nielson's blog: http://nieniedialogues.com/
9. A really pretty plant from a friend I love to the moon and back.
10. Cam, Paige and LuLu being so dang smiley. They smile and laugh more in one day than I do in a week. Promise.
11. Getting to email/talk with Wendy. Enjoy the SoCal sun!!!
12. The dryer holding on one more week (we do a lot of laundry, so I think we've nearly killed our dryer. Ugh.)
13. Seeing Whittney at Liz's (two of my favorite people).
14. Jonah getting major support from his Scout leader/church leader. We heart his leaders so much.
15. Surviving "Week 1" without processed food and refined sugar. Holy mack, it's not easy to change the way you eat.
