The water drinking has been good. Some days were complete failures, others were great. The greatest challenge is remembering to drink it especially when I'm running around all day. But overall, I'm definitely drinking more water and I am feeling a lot more hydrated.
The homemade fruit snack thing was kinda a flop. Maybe I just need more practice, or maybe I'm just not cut out to be a make-your-own-fruit-snacks kind of mom! We did get some fruit snacks out of it, but it would have been a lot less of a hassle (and mess) to just cut up some strawberries and drizzle some honey on them to give as a "fruit snack." The ones I made weren't even very portable, which was the point. And, picky Israel kept turning up his nose at them.
On the upside though, it did inspire me to make more of my kids' snacks myself, like granola bars, popsicles, veggie chips, popcorn, trail mix, and more. In fact, I haven't bought any snacks in about a month now.
So... on to this month's challenge. I plan to:
1. (for me) Make it a habit to use sunblock every day. I know sunblock is a little controversial to some, but I'm a big believer... especially since I live in a state that has over 300 days of sunlight a year and my skin is really sensitive to it.
2. (for them... and also kinda me) Experiment with green smoothies. This means I'll be taking my blender with me to San Diego, where we'll be for 6 weeks. :)
This time of year is always crazy for us. I have so much going on between now and the time we leave, including Grace's 2nd birthday party! I'm sorry the blog is getting a little neglected.
Until next time!

Some days we wish we could join you all in SD. :) Thinking and praying for your family - especially these next couple weeks!
Good job on the water! And, the snacks! I am intrigued by the smoothie idea, friend. Let us know how it goes.
Ah, we love green smoothies at our house! It is so funny because the girls think it is normal to have green tinted smoothies now. Make sure you blend the spinach and water (or juice) first to make it less noticeable.
I love that idea! Will you post some of the successful snack recipes you've found or come up with? One of my goals is to stop buying all those snack foods. They are just so convenient.. ;)
