Health Benifits of a Happy Marriage Between a Man and a Woman

We live in a day and age, where happy, lasting marriages are few and far between. When people are healthy, they are automatically happier! Don't you just love being round happy people!

Lance and I have been married for 36+ years and we love being in love with each other.

Has it been easy? 

No!

Has it been worth it? 

Yes!

How Getting Back into the Kitchen with Your Spouse Could Save Your Marriage

Getting back into the kitchen with your spouse can be a fun adventure. It will bring spice to your marriage, compliment each others unique cooking skills or lack of cooking skills, and bring you closer together.

When I married Lance, my cooking skills were extremely pitiful. What made it worse was his mother was an amazing cook. I struggled for years and years (and years) to learn how to cook. I wanted to please my husband, but failed more than succeeded.

Just what are GMO’s and why are they causing such a ruckus? 

It seems that eating healthy is getting more and more difficult. First it was organic vs non-organic and now it’s GMO vs non-GMO. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s not to put my complete confidence in the FDA or any other agency where monetary gain or power gain are the controlling motivation. I know this can sound kind of cynical, but I promise I am not a cynical person.  I believe in being well informed and abreast of what is best for me and my loved ones.

After a long, cold winter, it is so refreshing to sweep out the cobwebs and de-clutter.  Not only is my house revitalized, but Spring cleaning is also a therapeutic rejuvenation for my mind and body.

Add More Greens to Your Diet

 

Spring is in the air...

I enjoy this time of year because planting my organic garden is so refreshing. The thoughts of harvesting straight from my own garden and eating the freshest of the fresh sends my taste buds in to hyper-drive! 

Green is associated with Spring, the time of rebirth, revitalizing and refreshing energy.

Crisp, fresh, dark leafy greens are great! They are fat-free, low-carb, raw, gluten-free and vegan. Greens are full of nutrients, vitamins and are great for:

• lifting the spirit
• purifying the blood after a long winter
• improve cirvcilation
• strengthening the immune system 

No matter what dietary plan you are following, greens will fit in perfectly! Greens are such a blessing for our bodies. God knows what we need!

Adding these delicious veggies to our daily diet is important. Sometimes we start out with good intentions, but then we get bogged down with so many other distractions. When we get hungry, we grab something easy and convenient.  Thankfully, there are some quick ways to get more of these delicious greens into our daily meals and snacks.
