Getting ready for the grand-P's and an unexpected sleepover!!

Last thing I wrote yesterday was don't sweat the small stuff. Well, that statement still holds true today!! LOL As we prepare to trek the Christmas Frenzied streets of Monterey Cali I have to take a deep breathe and remember to relax and not to sweat the small stuff!! What better way to get out their then with my husband by my side. Life is GOOD!!!

Just finished making Johnny cakes( that I have finally got them to where I love them!! tweeked the recipe) for the girls sleepover! They loved them!! Funny thing is if they knew what was in them before they ate them they probably wouldn't of eating them!! LOL I love making healthful meals for my girls friends and they are raving about them! SCORE!! This is why I do what I do--change one person's outlook on healthful food--one person at a time, one child at a time in this case!! LOVE IT!

What better way of giving the gift of health!! Then to give it to a bunch of 11 and 12 year old girls who are getting ready to jump into teenhood. The last thing girls need to worry about is how they look. And if we can get our children to be good to their insides at an early age then the outside will fall into place and that is one less thing they will have to think about moving throught the teen years.

It is amazing how it doesn't have to be monetary to give back to the one's we love. For me the best gift I can give my family besides my heart is the gift of a legacy of amazing health and a sound outlook on nutrition. :o) Thank you Lord for blessing me with a quality of life that I can share with others!! But as I write this I am struck with the reality of a altered schedule.

Once again, I have been hit with having to tweek my workout plans. But that is ok, cause this is the final push to creating an amazing Christmas for my family. But, I do have it in the back of my head--if you get done early don't think just do!! I will do the workout that I intended!! WooSAW is all I am sayin!!!

I love life! Because it makes you have to dig your heels in and just do life!! I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!! I can do life!! I can be an amazing mom and a great sleepover host, and a chef and a decorator and a athlete!! All I need is Jesus at the center of it all and he will guide me in working it all out!! That is what is so awesome about my relationship with Jesus. All I have to do is tell him my direction and he takes care of the rest!! With him on my side what can't I do!!

Wow!! As I write this I am pepping my self up for an amazing day!! Many blessings on your day today my friends!! Remember, to stay fit, have fun, and stay focused!!!
