It's a sunshine day~ No rain!

An early morning "Rise N' Shine" kind of day! Time to head out in hopes of switching out a few things on our new home. Temporary, maybe not the most ideal, but tis a home! A safer home that is also surrounded by a huge wildlife preserve.

How ironic! Could it be the most perfect spot for such animal lovers like ourselves?... YOU BETCHA!

I can't believe that I am actually saying it, but I am honestly looking forward to our next move! Unfortunately, it won't be Nevada, not just yet, but heading out west for our final and permanent destination is still in the works. Right now we have court proceedings that will require us to stay a bit nearby in hopes of settling things out much sooner, than later. Today we took another step in the right direction! Thank YOU for all who have been involved in such short notice. Thank the good Lord for framily. Friends who are family. XOXOXO

Grandma Cuddles kitty will be turning 19 years young in a month. With age comes difficulty in keeping up on daily nutrition. Cuddles is slowly getting senile so we had to come up with an alternate way to feed her, nothing that involves needles. While venturing out over the weekend, we noticed a new senior cat food that is mostly chicken broth with tiny pieces of chicken. At $1.99 for a very small pouch of food, I decided to try something new for Cuddles. A far better way for her to still be able to eat on her own without being fed through a syringe or IV. WHA~LA! I have now mastered a new and far more reasonable way for Cuddles to still enjoy a variety of canned foods, but at a far easier and healthier way for her to enjoy them!

One high powered blender, warm spring water, low sodium chicken broth and a can of her favorite cat food. We weren't sure if Cuddles would like the new way to enjoy her food, puréed, but she actually LOVES IT! YAYYYY! Make that 'THEY' all love it! Mittens and Beary kitty too! Not only will we be saving a lot of money on can food that she could barely chew or eat, but now we have a far happier and healthier Grandma Cuddles! YAYYYY!

We have also made a change when it comes to cooking our own food. Since our microwave finally saw the light, off to microwave heaven. Heeheeheehee! We decided to take some great advice from my dietician and opt for a toaster oven. For those who remember their parents or grandparents having one of these cooking beauties during the holidays while tossing in a few appetizers. The new toaster ovens are even better and far more energy efficient! They aren't just for toasting anymore! The new updated version not only toasts like a pro, but cooks pretty much anything too! Of course, I need to reintroduce myself a second time around to the new toaster oven settings after my first failed attempt to cook some hamburgers and toast some garlic bread for Eric. I couldn't figure out why the hamburgers were hardly cooking?. Hmmmm?... That was until I accidently put them on broil, walked away for a mere few minutes and set off all of our smoke alarms in the house. HAHAHAHA! First time for everything and that includes burning the first round of garlic bread. HA! Microwaves have been known for decades to not be healthy for cancer patients. The microwave, radio waves over long periods of time show to be unhealthy for anyone, especially those suffering from long term health conditions. My dietician suggested last year to toss our microwave and opt for a much healthier way to heat and cook our food. Welcome to the toasting way of life!

As for a little friend of mine over in Illinois. Yes, see I was right! Too much caffeinated coffee not only dries you out, due to absorbing water within the body, but it also ages you. I expect a few text messages tomorrow morning once he reads this blog entry while sipping on that darn grande Starb*cks! Heeheeheehee! Join me in a far healthier way of life by toasting, juicing, pureeing and drinking lots of wellness water! Healthy=Happy

"Coffee is highly acidic. High doses of caffeinated coffee mess with your hormones. On top of that, it acts like a diuretic, dehydrating your body.

Cutting back on caffeinated coffee helps not only your body to rehydrate, but it helps keep your skin glowing and hair shiny. Too much caffeine not only dehydrates the body, but advances the aging process."

Or... You can opt like myself by staying away from large crowds, smoking, drinking and just liquid diet with some of the most healthiest ingredients you can find! That would make me pretty much like a vampire of some sorts wouldn't it?. Heeheeheehee! A far less aging one, but you will never see me complain. Less unhealthy microwave-radio waves, less dehydrating caffeinated coffee and far more healthier options. Not just for ourselves, but for our beloved fur children too!

Like I always say... If you truly want to be happy in life...

LESS is MORE!
