Just not so sure about those noodles

Intentional Self Care: No dairy for the Ball Family.
This is for a couple of reasons. I must admit I have not researched this due to my 2 book rule. I guess it should be a 1 book rule since the Bible is one of them, but details...my other book I am reading right now is Dare to Discipline by James Dobson. Excellent book. Makes me even more excited about being a mother and also very aware of how critical Bryce and my job is to Cap. Even more so in these next 6 years than anything. We are building this foundation that everything else will be built upon and that is huge stuff folks!!! I am so thankful to be able to stay home and to do this as my main job. Okay, back to dairy.

So yes. I mean no. No to dairy. Mostly until I am able to research it more for myself, it is just not worth giving this to Cap or ourselves. I have talked to several people who have done research and reading about this and they say drop it. So here we are 6 days into some no dairy. Honestly, it hasn't been so hard. I LOVE me some cheese and chocolate and that is hard, but for the most part, it isn't too bad.

We are drinking Almond milk which is delicious. I love regular milk, but this seriously taste the same to me. I have used it in many recipe's and have had zero problems so far. We also found a vegan butter which is great also. What is funny about this whole thing is that I have had 2 friends not be able to have dairy while nursing in the beginning months because their kid had an intolerance to it. I was so nervous that I would have to quit dairy too because I thought it would be awful!!! Here I am, saying no to the cow. Chick-fil-a has influenced not only my eat more chicken, but dairy too!!

I can't say Cap is a huge fan about the pasta. He ate it the fist night and has refused it ever since then. But that is kind of like him to do that anyways. He got weighed this week and he gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks. He was eating like crazy once he started feeling better. Of course, then today he barely ate or drank. Again, pretty much like him.

Lots more to post but this is it for now! Enjoy,
