Our Faith, Our Family, & Our Friendships.

 Lol.   Always on the path to better eating,  more homemade foods,  and Healthier options.        That will never change.      I think it's important to know what goes in your body and to be wise.  What goes in us,    has a direct impact on so many areas of our life,  physical,  and mental.         Treating Bens ADHD is one of the hardest journeys we've had as parents.    But we won't give up.    We always strive forward.    Tho don't worry,  We do understand the need to compromise,  and have fun,  We do enjoy a treat here and there and sometimes have a complete day of indulgence.    Its all about balance and we know this.   We talk about it as a family.  We motivate each other,  and Im always looking for new and interesting ways of making eating healthy more fun.     Its a way of life for us.  ...

 So,   I had a great conversation with Bens Principle.     She met me at my car and at first, we were just talking about our morning and life in general,     After a while she looking at me with a serious face and said "I don't know what you've done differently,  but lately Ben is a different kid?   He's focused in class and even going above and beyond with his assignments.    He has an essay to write,  where he has to choose any person (past, present,  or fictional) and write what you would do if you could spend a day with that person.    He chooses Einstein,  and asked if he could spend a week with him in the essay cause a day wasn't long enough!"      I looked at her honestly,  and said: "we went completely off not sugar again?"   She looked at me shocked and gave a "wow??!?" is that really it?? look?  I said " I know it seems mute,   but honestly.  We took all sugars aw...

   Yesterday I got a call from Bens School and imagine my shock when I was told that he had acted up in class and had an after-school detention...   My first reaction was "Yeah right, you're pulling my leg!"   There was NO way Ben acted up that bad.  He's just not that kind of kid....?   But,  After some back and forth on the phone,   They did convince me that Yes,  indeed.  He had after-school detention.     I didn't even know his school did this!  Let alone,   Ben!?!?!?      My disbelief quickly turned to embarrassment,  shock,  and I was upset.          Ben KNOWS better,    100% not ok!   I sent Matt to the school to handle it.   I knew it wasn't the best situation for me to confront while upset and Matt is WAY calmer than me.    Matt headed to school while I listed in my head all the groundings I was gonna layout.     Be...

     Its something we research a lot and are always looking for natural methods of helping Ben.    He's doing great in general but still struggles with focusing on his school work and lessons being taught.   He gets distracted a lot,   and most times we all laugh about and joke around,   But anytime we hear of ways to naturally help him,  we are very interested and research it.    We recently got in contact with a Natural Dr in the area,  who specializes in Neurologically based Chiropractic care.     After talking with him in-depth,  we have very high hopes that not only can he help lesson the symptoms of ADHD,   but also help the body to connect the nervous system in a way that it actually cures it.  His goal is to get right to the source of the ADHD and stop messing around with bandade quick fixes.    We are very hopeful and even if we don't see a huge difference on the ADHD end,  The ...
