Vegan or Bust

I have had a lot of inquiries about the vegan in me. Just to clarify, a vegan is someone who doesn't eat meat or any animal products (i.e. milk, eggs, butter, cream, etc.) . Well I am here to tell you that it is not as hard as you may think. They have substitutes for everything. From milk to cream cheese to ice cream to whatever your heart desires. Shocking as it may sound....they are good too. Believe me, the former junk food queen with a side of sugar and fat, it's good stuff.

So how did you decide to become a vegan after 33+ years of life? Is what you may be wondering. I read a book. Yes, a book. It totally changed my outlook on what I was putting in my body and my family's bodies. The book is called "Skinny Bitch". The title caught my attention but the content kept it. Even if you do not become a vegan I will suggest this book to anyone and everyone. Not only did we give up meat and animal products but we have gone organic. Yes, I said WE. Craig is on board and Lane doesn't know the difference.

We have also given coffee the boot. I know what you are thinking "ARE YOU CRAZY?". You would think so but don't start an intervention just yet. We all know that caffeine is not good for you. C'mon! You know when you're chugging that Starbucks like a college kid at a frat party kegger, that the caffeine and sugar you're putting in your body is going to make you feel like crap later. I thought if I am going vegan to be healthy then I should do everything I can to put only healthy things into my body. I won't give you the grocery list of other things that I have cut out but I will let you know that I just make more informed decisions when I buy my food products. I know that you are snoring by now so I will just leave you with this...............

I like being a vegan and I feel 100% better after I eat. Do I care if you are not a vegan....no way. Live your life for you and no one else. At least, that's what I always say.

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

Okay, I think that I might have started this thing off on a bad note. I should have eased into the "things off my chest" stuff. My dear and wonderful friend Amy just called and ask if I was okay, after reading my first entry. Sorry if I frightened you all. Like I said I will get better at this.

My life is wonderful and I appreciate the fact that I get to stay home with my kids. We have a lot of fun and we have great friends that we hang out with. So "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". This little lady is okay and her head is held up high. Just having one of those days!!!

Blogging to Regain Sanity

Please be gentle. I have never done this before (also the same line I used the night I lost my virginity).
As I stated in my profile I am a mother of two and a wife of one. I love being a mom and a wife but sometimes you just want a little time alone to be yourself. This is very difficult when you're a stay-at-home mom. You know that moment when you think to yourself, "Where did the funny, always the life of the party, shenanigan starting Heather go?". Well, I am in that moment! After back to back poopy diapers, one kid is spitting-up down your back while the other is pulling on your leg because Blues Clues has ended, you start to feel like you have lost your coolness. It also doesn't help that you are in your post baby body and just got a bad haircut.
So here I am trying to gain some sanity by blogging my feelings to the big wide world of the web.
