Cooking for Kids Update, New Puppies, And Other Good Stuff....

I know, I know... it's been a while since I've blogged.  Summer seems to have gotten in the way of my normal routine.  It's time to wind things down a bit, and re-focus myself.  But I have been working on doing just that lately... re-focusing on my passions, priorities, and self-nurturing.  I'm suffering from a bit of Bronchitis right now, but I can still write!  So I decided to get busy this morning.

I've got a few new posts over at my 'Cooking for Kids' site at BellaOnline.  Whether you are need of healthy afters school snacks for the kiddos, quick and healthy dinner ideas, or yummy treats in general, my site forum is loaded with great ideas!  Please check them out, and tell me what you think of them!  You can even send me a private message over at BellaOnline with your suggestions or comments!  I look forward to hearing from you.


Our beautiful Dobie, Misty Blue, had her puppies this past Monday!  She had a large liter, but sadly, almost half of them were stillborn.  Although we were deeply saddened by the loss, we are so grateful for the care that our Vet gave to Misty and her new pups, and I can happily say that Misty and her 6 remaining babies are are healthy, happy, and thriving!  We are indeed blessed!  She is a great new mommy, and takes pride in caring for her mini-me's.



I also recently celebrated my 44th birthday. I was gifted with many awesome presents, but my favorite of all was the gathering that my daughter and son put together for me: Just us, family! It was so sweet! She always does such nice things for me. I love her so much! My husband cooked a delicious, beautiful Puertorican meal for me and surprised me with Jillian Michael's "Body Revolution" program! My daughter and granddaughters got me gift cards, a yummy carrot cake, some Italian food, and a huge bouquet of beautiful roses! Oh... and I got a See's Candy Butterscotch sucker, too! Lol! That made my day!! Another year older, another year wiser, and another year spent with my beautiful family! I am so grateful and so blessed.


 Latest News:  I've created my very own health and fitness brand! It's called, 'The Live-Clean Lifestyle,' and can be found at this link.  You can follow our Facebook Community, which is filled with awesome people, here at this link.  My new website goes live tomorrow, although you can still preview it today.  I hope you all love it!  I've been working very hard on it, and I bring it to you with lot's of love, devotion, hard work, honesty, and experience!  There are many people to thank in teaching me all that I have come to learn and practice. And you will all be thanked in a special way, in due-time!

I guess since I received Jillian Michael's Body Revolution program, it's now time to sit down, assess where I've come from, assess where I want to be, and create new fitness and clean eating goals.  It's time to crack the whip and get my body moving again~ with the passion, fierceness, and fire that I once had. I'm beginning to feel that Warrior-ness returning to my mind... Are you with me, guys?


My beautiful new granddaughter is crawling now! Can you believe it??? She is so adorable... and Breanna has become the BEST big sister EVER!!! My daughter Mellissa is such an awesome Mommy. I am so proud of her. She's been through so much in the past couple of years, but she is doing so good, and has come so far! I love my kids! And my grandkids! <3  Breanna has just started another new school year, and she is growing up so fast!  She's not my baby Princess anymore, she is now my big-girl Monster High lover! Lol! From Princess to Monsters, you gotta love her! She's the best! My son is doing great, working full time, and living life as the responsible and handsome adult I always knew he would be.  I love my family. They truely mean every thing to me <3



















Okay, guys... it's time to get back on track with my weightloss goals, my clean eating journey, and my responsibilities.  Remember this:  JUST DO IT... AND DO IT CLEAN!

Always,
~The Kaptain XOXOXO
