ahhhh GAPS made easy.....

I was going to post the other day how very bored we were getting on the GAPS diet... my family (and I) were getting a bit stir crazy....and having LITTLE cheats way to often. (most popular cheat... chicken nuggets / fried chicken-- because they are FAST and READY)

Well today I was to go grocery shopping but could NOT think of a single thing to make.... besides soup-- and well my family is REALLY souped out and EGGS for breakfast is getting a bit of a grumble too....

My soulution? For the next month atleast... Cara at Health, Home and Happiness MENU PLAN for GAPS!!


Grain Free Meal Plans, a menu subscription service, includes:

Menu plans for 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, plus snacks and sweets
Kid-tested recipes
Complete shopping lists
Meals are based on the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet and Specific Carbohydrate Diet diets.

Members only forum to discuss going and being Grain Free.


I am printing my first week out-- and it looks VERY nice.. even make ahead tips (start sprouting lentils, etc)...

I feel so much relief from this-- because it really isn't like we could just QUIT GAPS anyway!!!

How do I know that?!? Because yesterday I was in a pinch and fed my kids some granola I had made before GAPS-- with some goat yogurt-- the outcome!? TERRIBLE. Poor Stephen took the brunt of this one.. (and I'm assuming its the oats, because he has had goat yogurt smoothies before and had no problems). :( I do like this diet-- and I do think we will be different HEALTHIER people in the end-- but I do also feel VERY trapped-- you CANNOT just quit and go back to foods-- you really really have to do it SOOOO SLOWLY!!!

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
