From my heart (based on the previous post):
Eating clean or having a healthy lifestyle is very good, yes. Of course we feed and care for our family a specific way because of a certain peace that comes along with it. But it can also become like anything else, a block or an idol. It should never make someone feel poorly or inadequate or judged.
It should never come before God.
It should never cause fear.
(and goodness, it should never come in the way of a delicious meal!)
And I've seen that happen. In fact, I've experienced it myself. I have become so obsessed at times at eating and living so pure that I was fearful of anything with chemicals or pesticides. We also can't even walk down the laundry detergent isle without getting a major headache due to all the perfumes and chemicals (which we can laugh at because it's pathetic)!
Please know my heart in posting anything health related is not to cause division. And that in the end, Christ is the ONLY thing that matters. This is what unites the perfumed laundry detergent people and the permanent b.o. smelling people. :) It's Him. And we should do it all for him.
Romans 14:6b-9

Romans 14:6b-9
Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
I feel lighter. (thanks!)
Moving onward.
Today was ordinary.
Tuesdays we drop the big boys off at school, head home to clean the kitchen and get the little ones dressed to attend CBS.
It's one of my favorite days.
When we returned home, I decided to grab my camera and document a few of my (current) favorite things.
From temperaments to decor, things rapidly change around our home and since my time on here has been fewer and further between, anything that will bring a smile on my face from years to come is sure to do the same for my tribe.

Adorable dream catcher c/o this shop.
Pink leotard c/o Lulu's thrift shop find.
