An apple a day keeps the doctor away! (It's the truth)

I looove fresh fruit out of the garden... It's just the best! But did you know green apples are super healthy? I'm not just saying that because I don't like any other kinds of apples, maybe ;) But really, green apples have A TON of awesome health benefits!

Green apples have a bit more potassium which steadies heart rhythm. Also green apples have fibrous skin which stimulates saliva production, which ends up with you getting healthy teeth!  Not only that but they also regulate blood sugar. What's the secret to weight loss? Green Apples! No joke. A study was done where women who had an apple before each meal, lost 33% more weight than women who didn't! And what's that important word again? Oh yeah, Antioxidants! But that's not all! They are filled with fiber, they prevent skin disease, they provide an awesome source of potassium, and only hasve 50-80 calories with no fat or sodium. Green apples are loaded with vitamins such as C and A.

 

How awesome right? I think I'll start a few more than just one apple a day!

 

 

My brown sandal obsession

So... Where do I begin?! I just really like brown sandals, I don't know why. When I go shopping, somehow I always come back with another pair to fill closet

Wild lilacs

 

 

Is it just me, or is summer just flying by? I think the problem is I'm much too busy! I have something going on everyday. I'm okay with that, I really like the things I do! For example this post the fam was taking an after church hike. Or the bottom picture I was at a little plant nursery shopping for lilacs. I really love how I'm spending my summer, so I really shouldn't be complaining. This has probably been the best summer yet. I've spent a ton of time outside, dancing, taking photos, camping, and playing with the people I love!

 

So then there's nothing to be sad about right? Even if summers halfway over, I've done the things I love with the people I love.

 

Fresh out of the garden

 

Last night at 3 am I woke up to thunder. To probably every person who isn't completely weird ( like me ) this was awesome. I don't know why, but thunder storms are my favoritist thing in all time of ever. Then this morning, I woke up to a little gloom in the sky. Then driving up town today it started to rain. Yay!:) So when I came home I went outside and into my little raspberry garden. This was the best ever. I felt the little rain drops on my hair, while picking delicious raspberry's! I'm sitting down typing at my laptop, munching on raspberry's, and listening to the pitter patter on my windows.

 

 

 

 

My Country Tis of Thee

☆ O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! ☆ 

 

  

Dear Future Me...

I want you to be confident but gentle. I want you to be sweet but fierce. I want you to know you could be whatever you want, but you would choose to raise a family instead. I know that because I want to be better. With each step and motion through out the years to come, I want to get my priorities straight. Because I know you are a one woman army, tougher than nails. But how did you get this way? Because writing this letter is a little girl, who still checks under the bed for monsters. Who still needs help smashing or saving spiders. Even though I might not have the

  just yet, the wonder woman reading this is strong. The person who I am capable to be.

 

 

 

 Huge thanks to my best friend for everything! ;)
