Baby steps...that's what this is. Blackberry and mint infused water instead of a second cup of coffee.

 

We've been getting outdoors a lot more too. I think Lydia's tolerance for bugs and heat is increasing, and I'm at the point where it drives me crazy to stay indoors for too long. Lest I give you the wrong inpression with these pictures, the healthy snacks are more of an exception than the norm right now.

UPDATE :)

Got to visit my brother Mark and his family in Pigeon Forge this weekend. Patrick and I got our butt's handed to us in Scrabble by my nephew Ben (far right).

I've gotten a new job...at a hospital, where I work completely crazy hours including nights and sometimes 2 or 3 days of double shifts in a row. I am so grateful for the job and am paying my dues.

I found out I am the only southern woman who doesn't care for Paula Deen
