Manic Monday...

Hello Friends :)

It's been a pretty frazzled day thus far for Jeremiah and I.. I've been attempting to sit down & write today, for 2 hours. And ole Jeremiah clearly could sense I was trying to have some quiet time, therefore he is currently singing at the top of his lungs & jumping on his bed! I have just checked out at this point.. at least he isn't strangling the dog, or destroying his play room! He's confined :)

Before I forget, I want to share a little treat with you, that I make for Jeremiah! I meant to post it yesterday, and just ran out of time & energy :)

The Anytime Popsicle

Base:
1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 Frozen Banana
1/4 Cup 2% Plain Greek Yogurt

And here is where you can get creative, depending on what your child may like! There is No wrong way!
5 Frozen Strawberries
Handful of Blueberries or Raspberries
1 heaping TBSP Almond Butter
1 Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Packet

This is my Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

I bought the molds at Dollar Tree. The recipe makes exactly 4!

Here is Jeremiah with a Strawberry & Blueberry Popsicle :)

What I love about these Anytime Popsicles is, they are just that. They can literally be for Breakfast, and your child will think you are the greatest Parent ever! I hope you'll try these!! Let me know if you do :)

Although this Monday has been frazzled, Mondays are always one of my favorite days of the week. For 2 reasons. My husband doesn't have to be at work until Noon. Therefore, we get to have breakfast together, we go to the Gym as a family & just have a good quality morning together. The other reason I love Mondays is, I get to go to Celebrate Recovery. If you are unfamiliar with Celebrate Recovery, I HIGHLY recommend looking it up! Just go to www.celebraterecovery.com. Once you go to the page, go to CR Groups at the top, and then Group Locator in the drop down. Find a meeting place in your area & check it out. It has been a HUGE blessing to me in my life. It's not just for Drugs & Alcohol addiction. It's for soooooo many things. We all have some sort of hurt or hangup in life. Why not go and worship & meet other people who are looking for God to restore their lives in some way! Here is just a small description on it:
"Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus, rather than psychological theory. 20 years ago, Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with 43 people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery has helped more than 17000 people at Saddleback, attracting over 70% of its members from outside the church. Eighty-five percent of the people who go through the program stay with the church and nearly half serve as church volunteers. Celebrate Recovery is now in over 19,000 churches worldwide!"
I hope you will go check it out!! And of course, let me know if you do, I'd love to hear about your experience!

Well, it has suddenly become quiet from Jeremiah's room.. I think he finally gave up & fell asleep. So on that note, I will head off of here to get ready! Thank you so much for coming by, seriously, it's overwhelming to me to see how many have stopped to read & share with me what this has meant to them!
