Trim Healthy Mama ~ Summer Book Club

By


Well, today is the start date of the Trim Healthy Mama Summer Book Club here at Journey to Excellence. Each Monday I will assign four chapters to read and then will be back on Thursday with my thoughts. If you have the book I would love it if you would join me!

So for this week, read the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Whole Grain Jane
  • Chapter 2, Drive Thru Sue
  • Chapter 18, Morning Meals (recipes)
  • Chapter 31, Mama's Balancing Act
This is a big, hefty book, so we'll need to read four chapters a week to finish by the end of August.

Looking forward to this book!

    Oh, I am sooo excited that you are doing this! I made my first recipes from the book just this week........so far, so good (as far as liking the recipes). I am going to go back and reread the chapters you assigned, because I really skimmed through it the first time because I was anxious to get to the recipes!

      The only thing I have done is eat my coffee cup eggs for breakfast because I think it falls in line with the Morning Recipes. I haven't started making any of the recipes yet because I notice all these Code Letters that make me think that there is a combination of recipes that you are supposed to eat?? I read the first two chapters and see that I have a lot to take in before I really get into the diet. Wow! So much information! It seems to follow a low glycemic strategy which is what the book Ending the Food Fight (that I read this year for Brynne) was all about. I'll be anxious to see if it continues on in that direction.

      Join me!! :)

    Sorry but I won't be participating with the book club after all. Trying to save money, therefore spending freeze.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
