Healthy Chocolate...4 real! UPDATE!

Sounds like an OXYMORON I KNOW!

It's called XOCAI-(pronounced SHO-SY) and THE CAPTAIN and I are starting on it today (actually he'll start Fri. when he flies in). You eat 3 pieces of chocolate a day and before you know it you're as healthy as a horse! Sounds tough huh? Feel sorry for me yet?

My friend J who has adopted a sibling to 3 of my kids down in the south told me about this new product a couple weeks ago while we were chatting. She had run into a friend she hadn't seen in a while and was in AWE at her weight loss. She shared with J that she had been eating "HEALTHY CHOCOLATE." I will admit, I thought it was a JOKE!

J is a super smart gal-you can't pull the wool over her eyes. She offered to send The Captain and I some samples. She also shared that her hubby has lost 10.5 pounds in a six weeks & her energy level increased within a week of starting this healthy chocolate. WHO COULDN'T USE WEIGHT LOSS AND MORE ENERGY?The Captain and I took our samples and were convinced we wanted to give it a try. We got our box in the mail today-a months supply for each of us. The ingredients??? Unsweetened Raw Chocolate, ACAI and blueberries. It's even okay for diabetic people to take.

The health benefits???

• Neutralizes free radicals in the body
• Curbs appetite, promoting weight loss
• Stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure
• Raises serotonin and dopamine levels which acts as an anti-depressant
• Acts as an anti-inflammatory
• Decreases blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol levels
• Soothes the nervous system
• Stops the insulin resistance that leads to diabetes

Some people have been able to stop taking their allergy meds (like Claritin and allergy shots) because after eating the chocolate, they no longer had allergy issue-I'm hoping for this!

I will keep you all updated on everything going on as I journal about our new HEALTHY CHOCOLATE! Go ahead...GOOGLE IT! I did and didn't find anything bad or unhealthy at all.

I mean if I can have YET ANOTHER EXCUSE TO EAT CHOCOLATE...LIKE DUH?? WHY NOT?

UPDATE-IT IS SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN & YOU CAN ONLY BUY IT THROUGH A DISTRIBUTOR-not at ANY health food store!

WILD Hair.....

Isn't T Gorgeous? This is how we fix her hair most of the time. You'd never know that behind that hair style....When she takes her hair down....We have THIS to deal with. She has given me written permission to blog about this subject-we are hoping ya'all can help us out with this HAIRY situation!
We've tried, thinning, layering, shortening and this all MADE HER CRY! She never wants her hair cut again. WHY? because it POOFS straight OUT the shorter you layer, thin or cut it. Straightening looks GREAT but dries it out even more. Plus-it takes about 30 min to an hour to to this and I just don't have time with the other 5 littles!

It truly is so dry and feels like straw and I NEED SOME HELP so... we decided to ask you all BLOGGY EXPERTS for some ideas!I tried one of these tonight and that worked on about 1/4 of her thick hair SO, I used two-she thinks it helped a bit but I don't see any difference. If I used half of one of these I'd be GREASY FOR DAYS! I wish I had a smidge of her God given wave.This is her RIGHT out of the shower. SEE HOW ITS ALREADY CURLY AND DRY in some places and straight in others? I also tried a leave in conditioner tonight-directions said "a quarter size portion" I used a half-dollar and still dry as heck.Wy Wy & T have the same birth mom and he has "similar" hair. The Captain refuses to cut his-hair envy I think :) Sorry honey.
NOTICE-WyWy's right arm-14th day with his plastic Dr. kit bandaid on-thank God it's water proof!

We ended up being blessed wth 12 chicks in all-they are all healthy & VERY PEEPY! OH, and POOPY! They stopped hatching on Saturday afternoon and were moved to their brooder on Easter.

What a miracle and blessing to be able to see how intricate God created life...inside a doggone egg-amazing! More amazing was being able to share it with my children. Especially on Easter-when the LIFE OF CHRIST RISING was celebrated.After the first "holding of the chicks" today and one got dropped due to POOPATION ON THE HAND-I have deemed Bean the ONLY SAFE chick holder at this time. The 5 others just get to stroke the heads of the peeps as I hold them and they poop on me :)

HATCHATION! Our new PEEPS!

I LOVE AW-BELLS voice on this-she thinks the chicken is mad at her! HILARIOUS!

DECISIONS....

I am taking a bit of a blogging break. The Captain and I have some BIG decisions to make regarding the expansion of our family... These decisions are taking up all my spare brain power. The brain power that my kids are not already consuming LOL! Until we share these decisions with our family I will not be sharing them here.

It's an exciting yet roller coaster of a journey. If you have a spare moment please remember us in your prayers. Pray that God will show us the clear way as I already know He will.
Enjoy the rest of this Holy week and the Celebration of the risen SAVIOR!

HOWEVER...IF THE CHICKS HATCH..I WILL be blogging about that!
