I finshed my first purse...well not my first, but the first one that I used a pattern! LOL It is great! I am very proud of it. I still have a long way to go, but hey it is a start!

Made a new purse
I finshed my first purse...well not my first, but the first one that I used a pattern! LOL It is great! I am very proud of it. I still have a long way to go, but hey it is a start!
Fw: [LAUnschoolers] Free Books online
http://en.childrenslibrary.org/ They have many multi-cultural books
http://www.childrensbooksonline.org/ They have the largest collection of antique books online
Most have seen these, but I thought just in case. Also there is something call Tumble, but they charge 399.00 a year!
Enjoy,

My Goals, dreams, hopes...
I have read Nicholas Kristof's book "Half the Sky" it made me think in a way that I have not before. One thing I would love to do is go to India, and volunteer there for 3 months....all of us could do this...it would be a great learning experience for the kids, and it would just be an amazing experience for all.

This year!
Last year I quit smoking, that was my goal, and I surprisingly actully did it!
I was think what I want to do this year, what I want to change. Quiting smoking has been great, I do not smell anymore, and I guess it is healthier...but the major draw back for me is weight gain, and this is upsetting. I was not a slim woman to start with, so the weight gain is causing even more issues that just gaining a few pounds.
I know that it is my fault, but I still am surprised! we do not have a car, so I walk a LOT! But apprently I need to walk more. I also think that our diet leaves a LOT to be desired.
At first I was thinking that I can not make my family eat healthy, so I was going to just cook small healthy meals for myself, and then make other things for them! NO! I will not do that...we do eat healthy a lot of the time, but there is still issues with the family diet. A lot of red meat, ice cream, sweets...you get the picture!
So my goal this year is to eat better...I know losing weight will simply come with a better diet.
So tonight we are having Salmon with Cuccumber dill sauce...low fat sour cream. Also brown rice, and a salad.
So Now I am on a quest to find good, healthy recipes that my family will like.
