Sunshine's Raw Life

I took the whole day off out of the kitchen yesterday. And the only thing I made Saturday was almond mylk. So, I'm gonna head down there in a little bit and see what I'm gonna make. I know almond mylk, probably a chocolate mousse surprise pie. Have some produce I need to use up, so I'll see how creative I'm feeling.

I have a new toy coming in a few days. And when I figure everything out and get to do what I need to do (and learn what I need to learn), I'll have a little surprise for ...

and no, they're not from going raw. My tooth woes started well before raw. I have this tooth that I had a root canal and a crown put on, and then the one directly beneath it needed a filling.

Things are starting to resemble some semblance of sanity around here after the initial scoliosis diagnosis. I have to admit something here. We've been through this sort of thing before. Only difference is, thank God I'm eating raw food now! :) Back in 2000, when we got J's autism diagnosis, before and during my research, I took out my stress and worry and frustration out on whole pans of brownies and 1/2 gallons of ice cream. Which is how even though I had popped out the baby already the year before, ...

Yep! That my friends is what's going to win this race. It is definitely the tortoise that will prevail, not the hare!

If autism didn't teach me patience, teaching my children yoga and us all staying sane will.;) Actually, I have a little confession, you wanna hear it?
