Amy’s Spring Reboot – Juice Fast Blog Day 1

I woke this morning with a baby in my face. And, I mean right IN MY FACE.
"Good morning Mama."
"Good morning Maddox."
And then, he wrapped his little arms and body around my whole head squeezing my nose to my cheek.

Our two year old is as sweet as babies get, when he's not acting like a Viking, and there is no better way to wake up. Maybe, this is a sign of things to come, a hint that the forces of universe will direct my reboot to be the best juice fast I've experienced yet. Maybe..... Maybe, I need to add to the height of Maddox's crib...yeah, I'm sure that's it...little Viking monkey.

Pin It

I'm into veggie sliders now = yummy for my tummy! :D I've been trying my best to keep on with a more plant based diet these days, but still, I have those moments when I really crave an old time favorite... Today it was the classic grilled cheese. Growing up in Wisconsin only adds to my "love" of this sandwich. Fresh melted cheese on buttered and grilled bread - I could go on about it, but I'd hate to get you craving one too... I'll sum it up to Ohh Holy Yumm - O!
