Detox days 5&6 – The dirty scoop!
Posted by: | CommentsToday I am journaling two days of my detox on the Master Cleanse. Watch the video for some healthy perspective on the self image for mothers in particular. Get the inside scoop on healthy bowel function. And listen to my food for thought commentary at the end of the video.
Check out this link for ultimate family nutrition, something I am still consuming while performing my detox. This is NOT part of the Master Cleanse plan, but something I feel is very necessary during the process and any time.

Confessions of a single mom (Detox day 1)…
Posted by: | CommentsI have been imperfect. In fact, I have caved into the pressures that certain stresses have caused: divorce, selling a home, moving, holidays, running a business, kids. 2009 was a year in tumult. They were necessary changes, but difficult to wade through. As a result, my body is showing me signs, and I have to pay attention. Here’s what I notice:
- Certain days I’d liken my appetite to that of a hungry truck driver (lack of sleep some nights, sugar)
- Getting thick in the waist
- So far so good in the legs/hips, but that waist means more metabolically active fat
- I don’t have that resistance to sweets as I usually do (red flag this one)
Recently someone gawked at me when I said that I have been eating too much. “Really? But it’s all healthy stuff, right?” Calories add up no matter what.
So, watch this video, post your comments and be my support. These next two weeks will be a journey for sure, but I’m determined to go through with it. Don’t miss the smoothie recipes below!

Satisfaction is this!

Last week there was a day during which I felt particularly celebratory and I felt like treating my family. In my hippy style, I took my boys to the rural side of town and picked up various whole and raw foods from three different farms. Nothing feels quite so satisfying as getting quality food in my kitchen. Yes, I sound like I’m a throwback from 1400s Flanders; however, I find intrinsic value in sustenance that will keep my family healthy and growing!
The kids enjoyed the drive, the animals and, especially, trying honey samples at the bee farm.
Take a look at what a real open-pastured chicken farm looks like and the two dozen eggs from those same chickens, with colors about which Martha Stewart would rave. The last pic is of all the items we brought home.
