Okay, not really. If you know me, then you know that sometimes my need to plan things coupled with excitement over something leads me to do slightly silly things...like starting to pack for a trip way in advance. So no I'm not actually packing, but I would love to be. (The fact that no date has been set only poses a minor problem.)
I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead of you myself in my excitement. Last year, I stumbled across something that I was really sad to be missing out on. A conglomeration of bloggers who cared about healthy living, eating, and yoga took place in Chicago.
Who knew such a thing existed!?
Since last year, I've been stalking www.healthylivingsummit.com.
I just saw today that they have started planning it for 2011. **Swoon**
:)
I will not pack yet.
I will not pack yet.

Ch-ch-changes...
In my head, that's always how that word sounds. Don't know what I'm talking about, here you are.
Anyway, I was reading over at Peas and Thank you about her picks and what brought her to the choices that she has made for her family. You know it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Though we aren't vegetarian or vegan like the peas, the choices I've made with regards to how we live our life have definitely been little one inspired. (I probably shouldn't call her the "little one" in anymore, she isn't so little).
When I was pregnant with Abi I ate a lot of fruit. I couldn't get enough fuji apples. Realizing I was eating my weight in fruit on a monthly basis, I started eating organic fruit. In addition to following the normal rules for what to eat and what not to eat while pregnant, I started reading about food issues. We started making conscientious choices about the food we were getting instead of just getting the bananas that were just so (bright yellow, no spots, 40 % or less green). She was the cause. I wanted to be better for her, I wanted to give her a fighting chance. The lease I could do was to eat things that couldn't do her any harm.
Once she was here, that kind of increased to making sure that we always had things that were for her- food that I could feel okay about giving her. Now it has become that we, as a family, eat as locally and organically as possible. My father in law is relentless in the teasing about this, it's annoying. I joke with him, but in the end I hope that he gets it. He (and really anyone else who cares) understands that the choices we have made are because, I feel like, it's the least we could do.

Make the choice
I don't do New Years resolutions. I think that alot of people make them, thinking that this will change them. Don't they say you should "be the change you want to see"? I don't make resolutions because I don't want to get roped into all of that.
So instead, I just have some ideas for what I want for myself. And there are a lot of people who give credence to vocalizing the things they want out of life. Here is me vocalizing in no particular order:
So instead, I just have some ideas for what I want for myself. And there are a lot of people who give credence to vocalizing the things they want out of life. Here is me vocalizing in no particular order:
- I want to run a race. Disney has a 5k in September, and this might be something I can do. .
- Arrive on time. Yeah, this one really doesn't need an explanation if you know me. It's baaddd.
- Blog more. I like this, and why shouldn't I do more of it.
- Slide further along the green spectrum. Why not embrace more things like that?
- Strike a balance with work.Who couldn't use a little more balance in life? Honestly I think balance here would make me hate it less.
