Promote Family Time

My children and I commonly talk about loving each other to the moon and back.  Yesterday, when I ran out of work early, I decided we should head out on a walk, but when you are getting the kids ready I have found that it just kind of goes crazy around here if we have a predetermined destination... Two want to go, and two almost definitely protest making it a hassle and no good.  So, yesterday as I had in my head I thought we would go to the park I told them we were going to the moon.  That created quite the stir... questions like how we could, why we needed walking shoes, and what kind of outfits to wear... of course we were not going to the moon, but we got creative juices going about what would happen if we were.  That distraction kept anyone from protesting our unknown adventure.  I think we may start going to the moon everyday :)

I have a primal commitment to walk with the kids and spend quality family time everyday, which is really hard in this world we live in today.  Despite being home with them throughout the day, I am working and busy with chores, and trying to fit in time for some of my personal interests (something I spent years completely ignoring as it was not high priority).  A special thank you to Mark Sisson for writing The Primal Blueprint and giving me words to live by in essence.  I needed someone to tell me I had to do the things I enjoy, or I may have completely forgotten what they were. 

On the walk to the park we really had a wonderful chance to enjoy each other, talk, and grow as a family :)  This is my favorite part of everyday.  Learning together and bonding is probably the most important committment I recieved from The Primal Blueprint.  Anyway, here is your reminder:  WALK, PUT TIME INTO WHAT YOU LOVE (even if the dishes slide a few hours), AND PROMOTE FAMILY TIME! 

In The Beginning

So here on day one I thought I would just give an overview of what can be found here.  There will be many aspects of primal living addressed on this page.  If you are not aware of what this means, I am referencing the book the Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. You can get a copy through Marksdailyapple.com.  I began living primally about three months ago, and I have a lot to say on the subject; so buckle up, it's going to be a long ride!  In addition to Paleo diet and Primal Lifestyle you will hear about my personal primal transformation, homeschooling, working from home, parenting, family time, frugal ideas, primal meal plans, cloth diapering, etc.  I will also work on living socially in a non-Primal world and attempting to deal with skeptics, especially those within the family.

Have a Healthy Day!
