After reading Change Your Brain Change Your Life I am wondering if Rebecca has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It has often crossed my mind since we are constantly telling her to pay attention (she always seems like she is thinking about/preoccupied with something else and not paying attention to what’s going on) but I never really knew …
The Letter Q…Question
What do you do with the letter Q? That was my question last week. So I decided…not much 😛 We did talk a bit about quails and queens and wrote our letters. But that’s about it. Instead I decided to change up the whole week. I wanted to do some behavioral experiments. And I wanted …
Meal Plans Week of 1-15-12
Home sweet home…Justin is home 🙂 It sure feels good to have Justin back after a week away in Japan! Last week was…interesting. It definitely had its share of challenges…car mishap, sick baby, power outage (brrr!), lots of sleepless nights, canceled plans (2 playdates and a trip to the library), plane delays. But we made …

Meal Plans Week of 1-8-12
Good morning. We’re getting back into the swing of things around here, trying to get used to Justin being back at work, getting back into preschool, etc. It was fun to go to MOPS again last week and have some adult chat time. And yesterday we went to our first Calvin basketball game of the season. …
The Autonomic Nervous System and Diet…Where I’m Headed For Now
It seems I keep learning new stuff every day 🙂 I have read part of Change Your Brain Change Your Life (I still have a lot of reading and learning to do!). And there is a lot of great information. One thing that really stood out to me already was the discussion of the sympathetic vs. …
Change Your Brain…
Change your brain…is that possible? For someone with OCD most days that seems impossible. But maybe it’s not… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and again and again. I have to keep reminding myself.)…God’s timing is perfect. And He knows exactly what we need when we need it. I’ve been adjusting my …
Broccoli Noodle Soup
For lunch on Saturday I made a batch of broccoli noodle soup (trying to use up some milk). This is a recipe from my MIL. A soup Justin grew up eating. It’s very simple to make and very filling. You could make it healthier by using homemade noodles. I used wide egg noodles. And you …
Farmer’s Cheese
We had a little extra milk this week, so I did a quick search for a recipe to use some of it. I came across a very simple recipe for Farmer’s Cheese on All Recipes. I decided to try it. But I followed some of the comments and used vinegar instead of lemon juice. Making …
Soaked Whole Wheat Muffins
I had some buttermilk to use up, so I looked in my Nourishing Traditions cookbook for a recipe. I came across the Basic Muffin Recipe. A super simple soaked muffin that you can make in just about any flavor you want. I baked a batch of blueberry muffins this morning. Very good! And very easy. …
