Valentines Day and Our Chickens

 Happy Valentines Week everyone!!! Here is a lovely pic. of our Anadel in her new beautiful church dress and coat. So sweet!

We have Great News! Two of our 5 chickens are laying eggs now. It is hard to see the exact color in the photo below but one is a tiny pink egg and the other a bigger green/blue egg. One of our small silky black bantams has turned out to be a rooster. He is learning to crow and it is darling. So happy our neighbors have chickens and roosters too so we won't feel bad when he really begins crowing loud. Here is a picture of the larger coop run that Ben built next to the playhouse.

Anadel made a little secret garden play ground for a little ladybug yesterday. She played with it for an hour adding petals and leaves and bowls and sparkly stuff.... Oh the simple joys in life :)!

We are all doing great. Ben is pushing along through his Masters Program, Anadel is shooting up like a string bean and I am hoping to get her into dance or preschool very soon. My life is a bit less stressful and my head is clearer. I was released form my Relief Society Presidency calling at church :) and asked to help out with the activity nights for Relief Society instead which very fun. I have also changed my diet. I threw out all the processed foods along with Sugar, Flour, Gluten and Dairy in our home that were making me so sick. All of us have a lactose intolerance anyway so it was a good move. We are all healthier and have more energy. My thyroid is back to normal. No longer have pains all over my body. Skin is looking amazing just by eating a whole foods diet/raw food diet primarily and juicing each day with an occasional addition of some healthy fish and grass fred meat and ancient good grains like quinoa with my nut flours. Learning to un-bake using natural and fruit sweeteners Dates, seeds, coconut oils and nut oils and milks.  Making cheese and desserts out of nuts and puddings and mouses with healthy omega 3's AVACADOs of all things. Ice Cream out of a simple Banana. Spagetti by using zuccini and my new spiral vegetable slicer.  Now I just need to get a  dehydrator and a vitamix and we will  be in business! lol :)

 It is so amazing what you can make it whole and super foods. So happy to finally find something that works and love exploring a new way of un-cooking and eating.  Love to all of you and hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! xoxoxo
