New Daily Challenges

What a beautiful summer morning!  The sun is shining, there is slight breeze coming from the lake, life is great!!!  We finally got the pontoon in the water last night and went out for a quick ride.   That was an adventure all its own. 

I woke up this morning to my Daily Challenge.  It is a website/blog that encourages you to better your life in every aspect, from health to happiness to work.  They send you a small (about 5 minute) daily challenge at 7 a.m. every morning.  So far I have found them quite fun.  This morning's challenge was to take 5 minutes today and get away from all technology to enjoy the scenery.  Well that motived me to go one step further.  I decided today I was going to make myself work-out in the morning.  I have been trying to stay motivated to work out but I lose track of time in the evening.  So, because of my daily challenge, I went on the elliptical this morning, then made a healthy breakfast and sat on the deck with Mitch and Aidan.  No computer, no phone, no TV....it is amazing what peace and happiness it brought to me all the way around.  I challenge all of you to try this.  It is a great experience.  If you want to check out the website, go to

I also wanted to share the breakfast omelet recipe I concocted...it was delicious.

1 egg, slightly beaten
5 grape tomatoes, halved
feta cheese
granulated garlic
salt to taste

I put the egg in a small hot pan to let it start cooking, add the remaining ingredients and cook to your liking.  It is quite light and yummy!! 

I hope you enjoy it!  I hope you have a wonderful day, love with all your heart, live your life to the fullest, be positive (with yourself and others), and make sure to smile at someone you do not know....they may need it!

It has been a long time

Wow! Time flies...I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted.  I promise I will try to be better.  I have a few goals right now which include becoming more organized and sharing things I know and learn about healthy living.  Not just eating but living.  I am hoping you will embark on and enjoy this journey with me and perhaps we can all learn something from it.

I started a small garden this year!  I'm so excited about it.  It has tomoto plants, green beans, hot peppers, raspberries, and a variety of fresh herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, to name a few).  Aidan is excited because he considers the herb part of it his garden :)  I personally can't wait to teach the boys how to cook with fresh yummy ingredients!!

So, ready, set, let's get ready to have a wonderful healthy summer packed with fun!

I hope you enjoy it!  I hope you have a wonderful day, love with all your heart, live your life to the fullest, be positive (with yourself and others), and make sure to smile at someone you do not know....they may need it!
