This past week has been so much fun. Last Friday we drove down to the Amish community nearby and got to eat the yummiest lunch, awe at the beautiful hand-made furniture, and shop in their freakingawesome grocery stores. We stocked up on whole and light spelt flour, xylitol, gluten free oats and all sorts of goodies for cheap and mostly very locallya grown.

took a picture of this lovely lady that was in front of me in the grocery store. just loading her groceries up in her wagon.

pretty swamp on the drive home

homemade (literally they get their products from the farm down the street) salted chocolate covered carmels. YUM

This past Thursday was my second birthday. Ok, it wasn't really my birthday, but we just decided to pretend because it was such a fun day and my real birthday a few months ago blowed. Perfect birthday went as follows:
1. wandering the shops at Easton. obsessed with this culinary shop
2. bought a new yoga mat at lululemon. wished I had $200 to blow on the most awesome pants and jacket
3. delicious frozen yogurt (coconut + plain with strawberries)
4. died at the gorgeousness that is Madewell. The store was what my fashion dreams are made of. Bought some new lovely shirts
5. saw transformers. i <3 me some rosie, but not as much as shia
6. went to yoga and felt AMAZING the rest of the night





Tonight we rode bikes down to see Red, White, and Boom.





While I'm cleaning our little room right now, I'm watching Food Matters. Not too long ago I watched Food, Inc. I love that Netflix has these wonderful documentaries. Although I don't believe and agree with every little thing they say, I still find them extremely enlightening. I've recently (over the past several months) been engulfing myself into learning all about what we're actually putting into our bodies (where it's coming from, what's actually in it, and what certain foods can do for us). I'm not quite sure why the sudden interest, but a part of it has definitely been because of the mister's health. The holistic doctor he's been seeing up here has put us on a lovely diet (the carb/sugar loving part of me has been struggling a little...). Lots of veggies, meat, non-highly processed grains (no wheat), and fruit sparingly. Anyways, Food Matters has been good so far. They've been talking about some of the things that I've been reading lately. Basically you are what you eat, and it's important to not stress your body out with things that are going to be hard for it. Things like the importance of having 50% of the food you eat to be raw so that your body can properly digest it and receive all of the nutrients that the food was made to give us. And how confused up our culture has gotten we'd rather spend money on more things or more expensive cars then properly nourishing ourselves and what fuels our most precious gifts we've been given, our bodies. Ahh I've already written too much on this stuff but it's just nice to have somewhere to write down all my thoughts :)
