Here are a few suggestions to add to your March order in preparation for spring.  I use Agilease all year but if you are like me, you are more active when the weather is nice. AgilEase is joint support. I find I can garden longer and with less discomfort when I am taking this.  We have learned that if the gut is healthy the rest of our systems follow along. There are many digestive support items available at YL check them out and see which one is best for you. I recommend Allerzyme for seasonal support!  Time to lose that holiday fluff! The Slique line will help you jump start your summer body in a safe natural way. These last two are going to sell out come summer time, so grab them while there is plenty in stock.    Get your safe and natural insect repellent, and sunscreen before you need them.  You will be glad they are already on hand when its time to use them.  “She turned to the sunlight   ...

This fresh light spring roll helps me stay on track and in my daily points. The recipe is super easy! I make a bunch and pack them with parchment paper between so I can snack for days or take them for lunch.  Spring Roll Recipe (1-2 points each) Spring Roll Wrappers (1 point each) Broccoli Slaw (0 points) Cole Slaw salad mix (0 points) Grilled or boiled chicken (0 points) R ice vermicelli (optional, 1 point for about .5 oz) Cilantro (this can be left out for those who don't like it) Here you can see my set up at my parent's house. I always roll on a wooden cutting board. If you look closely, you can see I bought pre-cooked chicken strips, and bagged salad. Saved loads of time chopping and cooking. I keep a skillet with hot water to soften the wrappers and set up my ingredients to make it convenient. Working quickly, first precooked vermicelli noodles, then the slaw mixes, and a strip of chicken and one or two cilantro leaves. Try to keep...

I am loving the new FreeStyle options at Weight Watchers!  Poached eggs (0 points) are my new best friend.

I know it has been a while since I have been on here. February has been a full month with visits to my son's specialists in Dallas, two birthdays and lots of pain for my sweet boy.  Some good things are happening along the way. For some time now our family has been trying to clean up out eating. We are eating less and less processed food and heavy meats, while we increased seafood, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can read about the beginning of this journey here  Simple Does Not Mean Easy I know it's basic stuff and we are still striving. Some family members struggle more than others. If you were to look in on us you would see the lines are drawn boys vs. girls. My oldest has been doing the best, as she cut out all meat, sodas, and most processed foods. She loves seafood and vegetables. My other daughter is also a very healthy and wise eater, and more disciplined about exercise.  The whole family has been trying to get this one area right be...
