Wow, I need to do some updating!  I promise I have been taking at least one photo a day but I just haven't had time to post them on the blog!  I am devoting time this weekend to updating and getting back on track with my posts.  So watch out....here come TONS of photos!

We finally got snow this January day!  Did it stick?  Yes!  Did it stay long?  No!  Typical weather here in the valley!  But at least the mountains got tons!  It's was my baby boy's first time playing in the snow! This was from my week of using film!

I just got my film back from last week.  So I can now catch up on my posts for my photo project.  Working with film again was extremely enjoyable.  I forgot how inspiring film is and how different it is to digital.  For the next two days I will update my photo project with lots of posts.  Enjoy!

Menus & Always Remembering

Today we remember an inspirational peacemaker, Martin Luther King Jr.  Really everyday we should remember him and all the other peacemakers that have changed the course of our history.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what he believed and for that we should all be grateful.  But this is bigger than being grateful, it is bigger than remembering..it is about bringing peace into our homes, our neighborhoods, our countries, and our entire beautiful world.  Everyday we should be taking steps, big or small, towards a compassionate and peaceful life and world.  This is not for us..this is for our children and our grandchildren.  The biggest and best thing we can do for them is to show our children about compassion, acceptance,  and love.  This is the first step towards a more peaceful and more accepting world.  Martin Luther King Jr. proved to us that this can happen...that this dream can come true.  Thank you Martin Luther King for standing up for peace!  

I'm going to end this post with our menu for the week.  I hope everyone is still doing what they can to know where their food is coming from and eating whole delicious foods!  

MONDAY:  Homemade whole wheat pizza, kale chips, and a green salad

TUESDAY:  Double Broccoli Quinoa Bowl

WEDNESDAY:  Out to dinner

THURSDAY:  Vegetarian Taco Salad

FRIDAY:  Ginger & Cilantro Baked Tilapia over brown rice

SATURDAY:  Attending a friend's wedding

SUNDAY:  Vegan Tofu Pot Pie 

Peacefully,

Alyson

More brother love!  It is just to wonderful not to capture!

For the next five days I am going to be shooting film.  So I won't be posting the pictures till after they are developed.  So in about 6 days I will be catching up on my photo project posts.  But in between that time I will be writing some regular posts.  Stay tuned!  Thank you all for reading my blog!

My love for homemade goes beyond just love....it could be considered an obsession.  I want to make everything....EVERTHING!!!  With this includes learning a lot of different skills.  One would be crocheting and knitting.  I hear knitting is hard...so we are starting with crochet.  My aunt who is amazing with crochet is teaching me.   So far I am a pro at the first chain!  Which isn't hard at all!  With time I am hoping to be making lots of different things and of course will be sharing it on here.

One of my favorite things in the world is to sit and watch my boys play together.  Their relationship grows every day and I feel blessed that I get to sit and watch this happen.  Their sweet love will last forever and it is sure to be as real and true as any love can be.  In an instant, their laughs together will light up our home and our hearts. To me it sounds like music!
