I make no money on this...just sharing the joy!

Speaking of JOY...

Over the week-end my dad had an emergency...

meaning emergency room visit & over nighter at the hospital.

He is home and stable...but now we have pacemaker issues.

The day of his emergency (because the emergency was at night)

 he insisted my sister find a slide projecter and screen.

(15  plus chest pains and did't think to tell us about it.)

They found one on ksl.com instantly...MEANT TO BE, for sure.

among the multitude of 50's and 60's slide show:

This is my mom's oldest sisters girls

Connie. Gayle and Nan on grandma's porch.

( I just did a blog post about grandma's front door last week)

They are with their daddy here.

The POUTY BROWN HEADED GIRL...is ME.

I have a little granddaughter who has my middle name JEAN and I'm pretty sure

my oldest son will agree we are twins!

p.s. this was in the late 50's and the only pouty photo I saw of myself.

we watched home slides... hour upon hour

and I don't think I have seen any of us laugh and be so happy like that

for a long long time!

PRICELESS.

If someone is sick or elderly

what a great idea...to pull out of the boxes all their memories.

Pinkettes...love pearls

It's fun to play in my workspace at home,

pearls and vintage.

Travel case, I replaced the mirror with a giant

rose with hydrangea's in velvet, added an antique

rusty lid and vintage papers rolled up.

The little sacks of vintage crochet in

many spring colors are for selling.

Pink and cream vintage collage

Old frame used for clipping photo's.

This is me sitting on my grandmothers porch.

Thinking I was about 8 or 9,

just looking at the door gave me some feelings

that brought tears to my eyes.

I have so many memories inside that door

of cousins, aunts, uncles, holidays, birthdays,

and just something to do on sundays.

 Many of them have passed on.

I can still see all of the furniture

as it was then, the piano, the food smells.

The laughter

my aunt Lynette who always had to do everyone hair.

(and compare who had the biggest boobs)

Do you ever think about your grandmothers front door?

I hadn't for a long long time.

My mother told me today that she feels her sisters

who have passed on around her.

I'm so glad,

she needs that.

Pretty quilted vintage hanger with velvety roses

I also worked on some chalkboard items

the other items are for selling.)

Get Healthy Before Spring Time!

With spring time just around the corner, it's time to get healthy and think healthy! During the winter it's easy to settle in and get used to a routine, but that routine may or may not include exercising, taking multi-vitamins, or eating healthy, for example. If you've struggled with some or all of these throughout the winter time, it's never too late to get back on track and come up with a regimen that you will stick with. It may seen challenging at first, but it will definitely pay off. Here are some ideas to get you going: 

Be Careful with Your Food Selections: 

It's easier said than done, but when you're at the deli or a fast food joint, don't pick the worst thing on the menu. Eat in moderation and go for healthy foods such as fruit, vegetables, fish/proteins, foods that will feed your body with the nutrition it deserves. Over time picking healthier foods off of the menu will become a habit and your body will thank you for it! 

{via}

Take Your Multi-Vitamins: 

Do you take multi-vitamins regularly? Multivitamins are excellent vitamins to take and are also important for your body every day too. Of course taking multi-vitamins does not mean eating less veggies, fruits, whole grains, proteins. You should be eating healthy and also taking daily Nature's Best multivitamin supplements simultaneously so that you will receive the best benefits from both your food and vitamins. 

{via}

Try a New Fitness Class: 

If you're getting bored with your fitness routine or don't currently have one, perhaps it's time to implement one. Find out which classes your gym offers and sign up for a few. You may find a Pilates class that you love, a Zumba class that allows you to have fun and dance, or a cycling class that hits the spot. Whatever it may be, get moving! Getting fit before spring time will improve your mood, help you cope with daily stress, and allow you to develop a positive fitness routine!

Don't overwhelm yourself with must-do activities. Learn to relax and enjoy the spring time while staying healthy. It will be worth it and your spring time will positive bloom both outside and in your life!

Do not reward yourself with food...your not a dog

Have you ever baked a beet?

My daughter mentioned they had been adding more vegetables

to their diet, they baked beets just like a potato.

We did it...

Wrapped it in foil, and when done added coconut butter

and blood orange balsamic vinegar (must try it).

Beets help clean the fats from your liver and cleanse your blood.

Contain Betaine and Betacyanin: has anti-inflammatory and

anti-cancer properties.

Vitamin B & C and lots of minerals:

Potassium, iron, thyroxin: main hormone for thyroid,

Magnesium, and controls blood sugar.

Low in fat and good for the cardiovascular system.

They are sweet, don't overdo if your diabetic,

and if your prone to kidney stones.

Our goal for now is at least ONE BEET a week.

On a PBS show Dr. Furhman's "the immunity solution"

he said there are three foods to eat everyday.

1.beans

                2.dark leafy greens

        3.mushrooms

we are trying

now adding mushrooms to our diet this year.

goal: One big package a week.

I am going to do a whole post on Mushrooms soon.

Mushrooms are cute, but I've never gone out of my way to eat many.

Eat healthy.

Build your immune system every meal.

To have a healthy immune system you must get rid of

INFLAMMATION in your body which causes disease

and chronic disease.
