In 2009 I started a weekly Bible study for seven middle school girls. For the past five years, I’ve spent almost every Wednesday evening cooking dinner for them & mentoring their Christian walk. 

When the time came for them to graduate high school, I knew I needed to make something special for each of them. I created a box of love for each one of them. In each box are special sentiments, words of affirmation & encouragement, and a packet of blank cards to share notes of encouragement with others. 

Here at Mother Daughter Projects we have begun a project that’s a little different from our normal DIYs. We are embarking on the Whole30 eating plan. Basically we are eating foods that are without additives & as close to their natural form as possible, eliminating grains, dairy & sugar.

There is an entire book about this so we won’t attempt to go into detail. The program is touted as a way to press reset on our eating habits & to discover, once dairy, grains, & sugar are added back, any ill affects these these foods might cause. Weight loss is NOT the focus of the plan, but may happen due to the lack of mindless eating of processed & sugary foods.

A few weeks ago I had to put down my cat, Catalina. I got her for my high school graduation so she had been with me a long time. I decided I didn't want to get another cat because they are a big commitment and I'm not sure where I will be in a few years. 

I have a beta fish, Mogi, but I need a new furry friend so I decided to get a hamster!

I did a lot of research and found the Qute Hamster and Gerbil Cage made by Omlet.
