2021 Beach Trip with the Boys!

This year Mom and I took the boys to Ocean City with a bit of a change: we stayed just outside of town in Selbyville, in Mallard Shores (or something like that, I forget the name). The unit was nice and very roomy. However, I did not like the fact that geese were everywhere. And we couldn't walk in the grass outside because of the rampant goose poop (which quite frankly grosses me out). However, we had a good time away together!

Mom was an amazing help with Samuel. She watched Samuel in the mornings while Liam and I went to the beach. In the afternoon, we would go to the pool or for a walk or somewhere else. We got dinner at a restaurant on the water (it has since closed... it was called the Atlantic Bayhouse or something). The dinner was good but the view was better. Especially because a storm was rapidly blowing in from the West! We liked that view.

Liam and I have developed a tradition of going to the beach at 120th street. That way we can walk to the Carousel for treats and bathroom breaks as needed.

We went for four nights this year which I think was perfect. It was a lovely get away!

Keto 2022 Style

So I spent most of 2022 saying "I'm starting keto this week..." and like, never. actually. starting. It is really hard for me to give up indulgences. It was really hard for me to just start. I was at a pretty high weight all summer, and yet I couldn't give up the treats to just cut back or lose a few pounds. It is really hard for me to do that. So how did I start again? And why did it take? I have NO idea. I don't really even remember how long ago I started? A Sunday? I don't know. I do know HOW I started. I ate: 2 hard boiled eggs, a salad with grilled chicken and a low sugar yogurt, a Sargento snack pack for snack and a low carb dinner. I ate the exact same thing the next day. I resolved myself to absolutely NO cheating, because sugar causes a desire for more sugar. Sugar in me triggers inflammation, which wants more sugar to feel better. I also cut out gluten. Which I think has had such a significant impact on my progress. This week a day for...

Sunday thoughts

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Isaiah 1:27 find this quote to really correlates what's going on in the world today where people are turning away from religion and yet still pointing fingers. They're blaming the immigrants they're blaming the people who are separated from their kids and that they're not loving them the way that God has taught us to love people and I just wish that God would surely bring his spirit and his grace
