In September of 2016, after a disturbing lab report from the doctor, I knew I needed to make changes if I wanted to be healthy and live. I embarked on my first Whole30 (learn more about Whole30 here) and it was truly eye opening. First, I stuck to it for…
This post could also be called, “why I do the Whole30”. Kinda the same, right? 🙂 Isn’t that really what an elimination diet or a reset is? A form of depriving ourselves for a time to reach a goal? We take away an immediate desire to gain a long term…
Have you heard of Whole 30? I have and I am so glad! About a 8 months ago, a friend of mine embarked on the Whole 30 journey and while I wanted to join her, the timing wasn’t right. About 50 days ago she was doing Whole 30 again, and…

I don’t know about you, but I think “spirited riders” is a good description for little ones (and some of us who are grown as well!). Are you familiar with how to control a horse when horseback riding? This chapter contains such a great word picture regarding controlling our emotions…
Chapter 4 of Loving the Little Years is titled, “Fruit of the Spirit Speed Quiz”. It has provided another opportunity to look into my heart. The string of quotes will make it very clear what hit me while reading this chapter. The author makes herself clear: * “My point here…
It is week four of my book study in Loving the Little Years by Rachel Jankovich. I am SO encouraged and thankful for this study. If you haven’t read this book, I would highly encourage you to. It is available at Amazon.com and worth its price. I will be posting…
