Party of 6: November 2012
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Last week was Thanksgiving. Duh. And I LOOOOOVE this time of year. Love it. Halloween always puts me off a little because it can be so nasty and expensive and greedy (candy! And that's just coming from the mom and dad around here! Which only makes sense, really, since what I'm really searching for is my true Home. Everything else here is just a substitute. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Party of 6: Jinxed
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2013/05/jinxed.html
Monday, May 27, 2013. As of yesterday I felt back in the game, proud of all the good choices I've been making for my body and mind and overall really satisfied with my new way of eating. But also, let's face it, I'm ready to see the beginning of my last week. A few new dishes that we tried last week:. Asian Chicken Salad - http:/ nomnompaleo.com/post/5728050931/asian-almond-chicken-salad#more. Stuffed Acorn Squash - I had used this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Party of 6: July 2012
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. The Wrap-up.or is it just the beginning? So, where do we go from here? 2) We will be getting rid of our cable, to the extent that only the major networks will be left to us. This will seriously limit choices. We do have Netflix, so there's still that to contend with. If we find our family is not wise with it we can always give that the boot too. I know. For those of you have followed our experiment and who have checked in with us or offered words of encouragement, thank you...

Party of 6: Mitten State or Bust
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2015/05/mitten-state-or-bust.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. Mitten State or Bust. I would even sit down to write on this blog and nothin'. Zip. Zero. Zilch. I felt as if there were no words. All was well, humming right along. And then came the stirring, the nudging. Something new coming. One of those somethings:. It's no secret that we've felt a longing over the years to be closer to our families, and suddenly the timing seemed right. Other shifting circumstances in our life led us to believe that the way home was being opened up. God in His ...

Party of 6: May 2014
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. I heard this song today, and it stopped me in my tracks. (By the way, hi. It's only been a year or so.). Here's another thing. I'm really done with suburban living. Oddly, with all of its people and activity, it's a really isolating way to live. All the pieces of my life are so disjointed and spread out and even with all my incredible friends and church and school, there still seems to be a sense of community. It didn't go so well, did it?

Party of 6: It Takes a Village
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2013/05/it-takes-village.html
Tuesday, May 14, 2013. It Takes a Village. Oh yeah, and breakfast in bed. I ate the delicious breakfast you see pictured above slowly, one delicious bite at a time. It's a root vegetable hash made of parsnips, turnips, beets, sweet potates, and carrots with venison steak* mixed in. I (rather, my hubby) used the recipe found here. I also had it for breakfast this morning and will probably finish it up tomorrow. Hooray for leftovers! In small quantities :) ). Recipe for chile lime chicken wings that I just...

Party of 6: June 2012
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Summer, Weeks 1 and 2. We kicked off summer with a splash at the local splash pad. I'm so glad my children are still at an age when they love these glorified sprinklers. The boys are all taking swimming lessons currently and doing great, so hopefully their growing independence in this area will only further my time-at-the-pool cause. I can't say I totally understand this Pig Wearing an Inner Tube mascot, but the boys were sure excited to meet him! Sunday, June 17, 2012. A boy pops...

Party of 6: What day IS it anyway?
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-day-is-it-anyway.html
Saturday, May 11, 2013. What day IS it anyway? The majority of my meals days 7 through 11 have been leftovers or repeats, which is good because my cooking utensils and I needed some space from each other. A few new things that did go down along with some observations:. This delightful dish is Moroccan Chicken (from the book) along with this. Recipe for Garlic Cauliflower Mashed "Potatoes". The breasts on the left are conventional chicken that I bought frozen at Target. The ones on the right? Cruel, I say.

Party of 6: January 2013
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Two of you expressed. I wish I could look back and say I just sucked the life out of 2012. That was my intention anyway. But I keep getting all caught up in my head, wondering what's God doing? What does he have in store? And vascillating between waiting for life to start and pleading with it to slow down. See why I haven't been blogging lately? Who wants to listen to this? I don't know what 2013 will hold. But I am entering into it, despite the disappointment of what last...

Party of 6: April 2013
http://louwersefam.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Anyone else humming a little David Bowie now? Get Healthy for Heaven's Sake. And It Starts with Food. We've done another tv fast to try and purge some screen-addiction. And it's SPRING! The time for rebirth. So all of these things lead me to this post. Website via Pinterest, which led me to purchase the book It Starts with Food. After reading It Starts. Starting tomorrow I will be embarking on the Whole 30 journey, to the end (I hope) that my body and mind will be restored back t...
