My Brady asked me to go for a walk in the rain today, like the troopers we are….got our rain jackets on and went for a walk/scooter around the bay. He asked me to take his scooter for the last leg of the walk and I noticed he was bending over occasionally to pick something up….finally I realized he was picking up worms that were all over the road and placing them back in the grass. When I asked him what he was doing he told me he was saving as many worms as he could…he actually said that he figured they’d like the grass better than the road. It blows me away when I see my kids acting like good, caring people. Sure it was a small deal, but it made my day. :)

For those who have never tried kale….. Go buy some now! I tried kale for the first time today. I know it has been the craze as of late. I guess you can say I am jumping on the band wagon. I made a wonderful salad tonight with kale, quinoa, black beans, chick peas, sweet peas and celery with a cream cheese/tomato basil dressing. Most of my food adventures happen when no one else is home. This way if it tastes terrible, no one knows it ever existed. Tonight, I wasn’t disappointed. Along with this wonderful salad, I made kale chips. Let’s just say I am giving up potato chips for good. Life gives us opportunities to take risks. Although mine was a small one, it paid off. My diet will never be the same again. My life is about to take a huge turn as I have just completed my bachelor degree and have signed my first “grown-up” contract with an amazing company. Again, my life will never be the same again. To those afraid to take risks, even something as small as trying kale, go do it. Take that risk! You only have one life, so go live it while you can! I certainly will be while I munch on my kale chips ❤️
