I have totally slacked off with updating my blog lately. Good news is that I have not slacked off with my project at all. In fact, things have been going great.
I finished off the month of work fabulously. Despite everyone wanting us to go to computerized system at the salon we have decided against it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Instead we decided to focus our attention on things that we can fix easily and we have a list we are working off of. The salon has been doing great and I had one of the best months ever with permanent makeup. When Lorenco’s is doing well it really makes me so much less stressed. That finished up March and my month of work all on a good note.
On to April- April has been for the kids. My goal this month has been simple: put their feelings first. They are so cute and beautiful and fresh from God. Although they challenge my sanity in every way I just can’t imagine my life with out them. I wanted to do projects with them so we did a whole magic themed project one day. Mason helped me plant in the back yard another day and we made a fountain. I have been practicing guitar with him which is just so cute. He can play the beginning of ‘Smoke on the Water’ and it is so cool. Kenna and I ‘make tea’ together with her dollies. She actually helps me cook too. Time goes by so fast. I have really just been trying to soak in all the ‘good stuff’ with my little ones. April has been great!
I made it all the way through lent with only eating fast food once. No Starbucks and no regrets. I’m so glad I did this. It was so much healthier for all of us and now I don’t even want fast food. I did lose weight- an added bonus, had more money and a clearer focus on what is important. I think I might just keep it up.
In my kitchen: I’m trying to remember all the good stuff I have made since my last post. I don’t think I can remember it all but I did have a couple favorites. The other night I made ‘beggars linguine with shredded chicken’. It is butter, almonds, chicken, golden raisins, finely chopped figs, salt and pepper and parmesan. I ate way to much of it. So good. I have come up with a bunch of ideas to make good healthy food and pretty easy. The Dutch oven is my favorite kitchen item. That pot just makes everything taste good. I really enjoy cooking so much. I can’t wait until this summer and I can have all the fresh herbs from my little garden to play with. I know it will all taste that much better!
This happiness project has been so far one of the best things I have ever done. I have grown in so many ways and have changed my focus for my life. I have really just realized how blessed I am in my life.
