Protein Energy Bars

I made this up quick today and we love it. This makes about 10 golf ball sized snack balls. Pictures will come as soon as I can find my camera. :)

Ingredients:
1 cup oats
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup peanut butter
scant 1/3 cup honey
dried coconut

Directions:
1. Place nuts and oats in food processor and process till fine.
2. Add in peanut butter and honey and pulse just till ingredients come together.
3. If you want to be naughty, add about 1 tablespoon or so of chocolate chips in and knead in.
4. Form into golf ball sized balls (or whatever size you choose) and then roll in coconut. Keep refrigerated.

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Sex Education For Girls From a Christian Perspective

I'm making out my daughters scholastic plan for the next 6 years. Crazy...maybe! Anyway, this coming year she will be entering 7th grade - 7th grade! I was trying to remember what I took in school during 7th grade. One of those classes was health/sex ed. I remember what sex-ed class was like While my parents taught me abstinence, the school was teaching something else as well as exposing us to many contraceptives as well as a lifestyle contradictive to what my parents were trying to teach at home. I heard this from the class and students much more because that's the environment I was in. My goal here is to still be vigilant on teaching my children health education/sex education from a biblical perspective. Coming into puberty is something that we are going to celebrate in this family. It means that our son/daughter is making the shift into adulthood. We want our children to be prepared for what's coming. For instance, after r...
