It's been about a month since I've posted last. We put an offer on a home around the first part of June, and then moved last month. Still unpacking around here and getting used to being homeowners.
Isla is 7 months old now. She's crawling around a ton, never still for long, and standing up on whatever she can get her hands on and has even learned how to sit down gently from standing. She likes sweet potatoes and squash, and her puppies. She's in a sleep regression right now, and started waking up at 5 then at 4, and now she's waking in the middle of the night again, and we're sleeeeepppppy. YAWN!!!
I've been thinking about how we live and what we put into and onto our bodies a lot lately. We've been making some changes like eating less salt, sugar, and not drinking cokes much at all. We've had a few sonic drinks and icees the last month, but we've cut out coke for the most part. I'm using more coconut oil in our cooking, and greek yogurts and sour cream when I can and cutting out things like condensed soups and whole milk.
I think eventually it'd be neat to start shopping locally and maybe even buy some things like raw milk, cheeses, and make our own bread, sauces, and jams. It's a lot of work, but we are so blessed with a good sized pantry that maybe soon I can start budgeting for things and figuring them out. It's a learning process and one I don't want to go into cold turkey.
I figure within the next few months we'll start using up what we've bought the last year in some products and will go healthier and more natural routes for those things afterwards. I don't want to waste, but at the same time I want to start back trying to make our own body washes, soaps, and lotions again. That was fun and something that was short lived due to morning sickness with Isla, and not being able to handle all the scents! However, I'm excited to start it back up again soon!
