So this weekend we did the fair.  We do this more for Kate than for us--although I have to say I thought it was pretty cool to see my first giraffe. 

Scott, my hubbie, would not be happy that I posted this picture of him chowing down on ice cream on my blog, but it brings me to the point of my post--it ain't easy getting healthy.  I have brought my family along on my "getting fit" journey--I'm sure they feel captive at times... 

We're still trying to figure it all out--how to become healthier day-by-day... Most days we do pretty good--although I think I've given myself a false sense of security by taking supplements.  I am blending my greens, but we haven't converted 100% to organic--not even close.  I am trying not to become a health-freakoid, but the more I read and learn about healthy living, the more I hear myself saying and thinking the darnedest things...  (can you hear yourself think?)

Scott wanted to put lotion on Kate today--dry desert skin--and I cringed thinking about all the unpronounceables that  go into making over-the-counter lotions.  I've started to replace shampoos and some lotions--but good God there are so many things to consider.  So for now, I'm thinking a lot about Seinfeld--SERENITY NOW! and making the little choices that make the big picture palatable.  It is important to take our health seriously, but we also have to enjoy life, too.  If we (I should say I) become too obsessed with the harmful effects of this and that, we'll all go batty! 

I did pick up some virgin coconut oil today and tried it in my tea, as Lainie from Lainie Sips recommended--yummy!  If you're into tea, or if you want to learn more about tea--you should definitely check out her site...
