Omega 3 ..

We all know we should eat fish 3 times/week. I certainly know this is true- but who can find affordable, sustainable and responsibly raised fish? I know I'm having a real hard time. Everybody in this family supplements to make sure we get our brain food.

It is shown that children with ADD and ADHD tendencies even out in temperament and shows significantly improved concentration when supplementing with fish oils.

Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids positively impacts and even prevents serious degenerative illnesses like heart disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and more.

The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3’s are especially beneficial to menopausal women in preserving heart, breast and bone health, and even help keep our moods on an even keel.

Not to mention, it makes our hair, nails and skin healthy too!

"cool" treats

Healthy and cool treats for hot days!

I love my shaped silicone ice cube trays- I get them super cheap at Ikea, and we come up with something different every day!

I enjoy cucumber or citrus in my water, and made the cucumber "stars" for myself. I also put an organic raspberry in each of the flower shaped molds and (always) water purified in my Shaklee pitcher.

Together the kiddos and I decided to blitz up some watermelon in the blender, and froze that. After trying those, Nathan said- hey- how about banana ice! So, we blitzed enough ripe bananas with water to make a thick liquid and froze those too - they LOVE them!
