and i totally want those brownies and soft serve!

I actually just bought my first Chia Seeds after reading about them so much on your blog. What is your favorite way to use them?

Thanks, sweetness for the birthday shout out for abbers. She is in ohio at the moment having fun with Grandma for a few days. She loves it there and her grandparents adore her. They have so much fun, and they live out in the country so it’s just creek walking, playing little House on the prairie, baking pies, and just being a kid. LOVE IT!

Love you to bits. Praying for you always, sweet friend. Had a wonderful chat today with a dear friend. (Abbi’s 6th grade teacher who I just love!!) and she and talked about beauty and how to instill that in our girls. How GOD is beauty and it has nothing to do with what he DOES or can accomplish…. but in who he IS. So sweet to think about.

Balance… working on it. Love you, off to visit another friend before she heads to the Dominican on a mission trip! I tell ya, Jesus had blessed my life with incredible friendships! So sweet and encouraging and add richness and depth to life, no? yes. You are a piece of that rich pie, my sweet Heabs. Have a wonderful, beautiful week. Keeping it simple over here. Less blogging and more living. Don’t you just adore your readers? I do!! I love the comments more than the blogs! ha.

See you soon… when shall we meet in Fishers??????

This is my first time commenting but I’ve been reading your blog for a few months and love it! I’ve also started doing more yoga a going deeper into my yoga practice, although I still run a few days a week. I look/feel tons better already! I’ve also been limiting my sugar intake and upping my healthy fats and feel awesome. I think we have a lot in common on what works for our body and what doesn’t.

Here is my question for your HEAB Q and A: I look and feel best when I eat 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks a day. For my meals and night snack I stick with oat bran, sweet potatoes, nut butter, beans, green monsters, and avocado amd feel great. But ever since i’ve been limiting my sugar intake, I’m at a loss what to eat for snacks. I’ve gotten so used to throwing am apple or larabar into my purse for a quick on the go option that I’m at a loss on what to replace those with. I would like to keep my snacks unprocessed ( like the rest of my diet) and a spoonful of nut butter is getting old when I already put it in the 2 bowls of oat bran I eat a day and in my smoothies. Any suggestions?
