Weekend Reflections: Budding Flowers

Message about children

Life has changed a lot since the kids arrived. No doubt there  has been constant changes and revisions to our lifestyles it certainly has been for the better. A lot of adjustments have been made over the years for our expanding family and it’s growing needs. There is rapid changes in the dynamics of the family as the kids grow and we age.

Like the flowers that I have been buying weekly, kids  come in different shades with different personalities. Each of them with their unique qualities and charisma moving from a bud into full bloom as they pass through their childhood.

Whether the bud blossoms and blooms has to do with our careful nurturing and pruning. The correct amount of watering and fertilizer given will ensure that the flower will be able to come into full bloom and be it’s prettiest in time to come.

As a parent I hope to be able to be there to witness the kids blossoming and for them to come into their full potential when they become adults.

Do you have the same wish as a parent?

Breaded Chicken Salad on a Friday

This year one of my resolutions was to eat more healthy foods. I  have been striving to to cut down on junk/processed  food and eat more greens and fruits.

It is very easy to fall into the trap of eating unhealthy as it is easier to prepare and taste better. However I seriously don’t need all the additional calories and fats that come along with it. Not to mention the potential health problems which I may face in old age.

I’m also trying to advocate eating of more fruits and vegetables among the kids so that it will be easier to incorporate good eating habits in them from young.

Eating right is the first step to healthy living.  We ourselves decide what  we put into our body and know firsthand how it affects our well being.  It may not be easy to see the effects that a change in diet has on my lifestyle immediately but I’m sure that over time it will certainly boost my energy levels further.

Are you trying to eat right too?
