Eating Raw

So after going to the Temecula farmer's market I decided it's time to go raw. I picked up this really good trail mix that has dried berries, raw chocolate, and coconut. Then all was confirmed when I went to my folks house and got to talk to a lady that eats raw and is a certified vegan and raw chef. Now don't get me wrong...raw meat is NOT included in this diet. No amount of money would posses me to eat raw meat. In fact in a raw diet you are supposed to completely remove meat and dairy. Anyhow, I have been doing it the last week and have felt great! It really hasn't been that hard. I am not 100% raw but if I do eat something else it's at least gluten free. So last night on my way home I decided to get a burger as a last resort cause I was hungry! And In and Out's burgers are gluten free cause the buns are made out of sponge bread. Well last night I ended up horrible stomach cramps and let's just say it exited my body quickly. It was amazing to me how when you treat your body well, it has no desire for anything else! It's nice to get back to the basics of food. I mean God really provided every nutrient we need in nature and I intend to take advantage of it! Oh and don't get me started on Bee Pollen. That's right eating fresh raw bee pollen is one of the best things you can do for your body. It is the ONLY food on earth that contains all 22 nutrients your body needs to survive. It has more protein than meat! Look it up, it's quite fascinating. Oh! And Mark and I just closed escrow on a house!!!!!! YEAHHH!!!! So cool. And I just have to say, my son is the cutest little man ever! I just love the little guy!

What a fun day!

Today I got to meet up with a friend who lives in Colorado. She came to Temecula with her daughter who is 10 months older than Jake. Man we had a great time! We went to the farmer's market, went olive oil tasting and walked around Old Town. It was so great to hang with another mom and have no worries about how our kids are acting cause we both have kiddos. But Jake and Kensy both were perfect angels. She loved touching jake's face and he couldn't believe that there was another baby besides him. :) Ah it was wonderful. I picked up this really good raw trail mix at the farmers market. Oooo I am addicted! I got some really cute clothes for Jake at Old Navy. I didn't realize they were so inexpensive! My boy is gonna be one handsome stud! Now I am home cuddling next to Mark and watching our shows. Today was a GREAT day. And tomorrow...we sign escrow papers!

My first blog

They guys! Well this is my official first blog. Ah, feels good. Baby is asleep for now and I am sitting with a cup of tea in a dirty house writing instead of cleaning :) Maybe that is just wrong but I need some rest. Got a chance to go on a play date today to visit my friend Sarah and her baby Joshua. We had a really good time. Jake threw a temper tantrum, threw up, got a new change of clothes but in the end (even though I was stressed) we had a nice time. So anyone want to go on a cruise? ME! Haha I do get to go on a cruise in Jan! Whoot-woo! I am really looking forward to just getting away with family. It's the big annual Stewart family vacation. Oh man, free food, entertainment, babysitting...good times. I lit my pumpkin candle today. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the weather and the change it brings. Mark and I have been taking nightly walks and it's so nice to be out when it's just a tiny bit chilly. We bundle Jake up and he loves it. I must say despite the temper tantrums, the throw up and the *surprise* on the couch, I really have a great kid. I just feel so blessed and am so happy. I love being a mom. K, now I must clean but I thought it would be nice to write a post...and it was. Hey if any of you are looking to take a vacation, I know of a really great deal. It's 260 for 7 days and 6 nights and any high end resort. Mark and I are going for our anniversary in May :) Yippee!

Toodles!
