New Website

Being a new stay at home mom (job entails: chef, journalist, budget officer, cleaner, home organizer and counselor) I am starting to get the itch to do something else. Not that loving on the sweet thang Ari isnt fun and all... I could use some extra money.

So, we pooled all my talents (which is about 3) and decided to launch a health blog. It will be a place of photos, videos, recipes, tips on health food and healing, and much more. I hope it will also generate some income through teaching classes, health coaching and consulting and a few other endeavors.

Here it is:

www.groundedgirl.com

If you know of anyone who is looking for something like this, please email me at groundedgirl@me.com. I am available for weight loss coaching, health consulting, recipe exchange and more found in my 'services' tab.

Thanks for your support and stay tuned on that blog for more! (and tell your friends and family please!)

And, to bribe you to tell others, here is a sweet picture of Ari... with earrings:

(No babies were harmed in the making of this picture.)

Mommy time with the Mac!

I am so blessed with a happy, loving baby!

Oh, Ari...

(by Dan, for once!)

Lately we've really been enjoying 2 things: Ari's adorable quirks, and our new camera. Ari has been doing some very funny things lately, and our new digital camera also shoots HD video (though the quality we posted in is way lower)...resulting in the two short videos below. Enjoy!

Sorry, Ari, no milk comes out of Daddy's nose!

(the weird noises are the camera trying to focus...we're still getting the hang of it!)

How does she have this much energy at the end of the day?

Great Grammy Claire was here!! How do you know:

The famous (infamous to some, endearing to others!) headband!!

We loved having Grammy here because she loves good food, good movies and cuddling with Ari. All things we have in common! We visited the Billy Graham library, learned to peel tomatoes, and enjoyed each other.

Thanks for making it out here. I am blessed by your love for the family and I really enjoyed seeing you.
