Homemade calcium supplement and recipes

How is everybody today.We have been enjoying the beautifull weather and getting some yardwork done.We also went to the park and the kids ran off some energy.It has been nice to just have a family day.I was reading in a magazine and saw a recipe that looked really good and didn't take any fancy ingredients so I went and made it for dinner and it was delicious so I will post the recipe tonight.It is called moroccan chicken stew.Yesterday we went and visited my amish grandma and also met my sister's boyfriend for the first time.She has been living in Colorado for almost a year and is finally back home.It was so nice to see her again,and her guy seems like a really great person too.We'll get to know him better tomorrow as we will spend the day together.Two of my other sisters' children have come down with a miserable case of the chicken pox so I have been praying for them and offering advice but it always feels like I am not doing enough to ease their suffering.I always feel so bad when Isee young mothers go through these hardships,but I guess our trials make us stronger.I know I have learned a lot through mine,and now I can better relate to others.Hang in there girls!I als have another recipe I'd like to share for sugarless sugar cookies with a delicious frosting that has no sugar.Then I am going to post a recipe on making your own calcium supplement that breaks down much better than most.This is out of my school book so it is a legitimate nutritional recipe.Let's get started shall we

What a weekend!Saturday and Sunday we stayed at abeautiful bed and breakfast called lasing impressions which I have a link above for.This was specifically designed for scrapbooking.Talk about getting the royal treatment,we sure did.It was such a nice way to relax and get lost in memories of your loved ones.It is also nice to not have to cook and clean for a while.I took Princess with me for a little mother daughter time and she just loved it.SHE also did her own scrapbook and really stayed focused.I was proud of her.It ws sad to leave but I ALSO MISSED the ones at home.It was really hard on Tinkerbell but she had her dad and did okay anyway.First thing this morning she made her own scrapbook page for me and Bubba made one too.I guess they didn't want to be left out of the fun.Now ,about the weight loss part of this.I am starting thePERFECT WEIGHT AMERICA PLAN tomorrow as it is a healthy lifestyle and the creator of the program is my hero.It is Jordan Rubin author of THE MAKERS DIET who designed it and I have a lot of faith in him.He promotes the ultimate in healthy eating and if you buy his PERFECT WEIGHT book you get your own personal online health coach for a year.I bought the kit which includes healing workout dvd,food journal and the book.It is very inexpensive and the websight offers links to blogs of others ,health lectures,a menu based on your body type which they test you on and all kinds of fun things.PLEASE CHECK IT OUT.We can serve God better if we are healthier because when you feel good it reflects on every area of our life in a positive manner.After all God took our sickness on HIMSELF too,not just our sins.He wants us to be at our best.Well I am signing off for now ,happy scrapbooking and weight loss,
