Not The Place If You're Afraid Of Heights

Ann Again and again Starting The Week Off...

This week I'm starting the week off with memories of the weekend.

For Father's Day Rob wanted to go for a drive up the Columbia Gorge and take in the amazing natural beauty. Perfect thing to do on a Sunday.

Ann Again and again Starting The Week Off... Father's Day

Walking along the wall of Vista House. (Across the river is Washington State) Lily following Rob. Our 12 year old is almost as tall as we are - and that's 5'10!

It's a beautiful day in the Gorge

Rob and Katie made it to the bridge of Multnomah Falls. (Let's see... notice that person with their arms in the air? Well, that's not either of them ;-> They're 2 spots over.)

This was a difficult adventure for Lily because she's becoming afraid of heights. The Vista House sits high atop a hill on the Gorge and Multnomah Falls is the highest waterfall in Oregon. She didn't even want to try to make it to the bridge this time, so I kept her company.

How are you with heights? For some reason it doesn't bother me. But there is NO WAY I could Skydive or Bungee jump. It's one thing to be up high, it's another to drop. Are heights a problem for you? If so, do you have ways to get over the fear? I would love to help my Lily out :->

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off. I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body. The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting? Do your crunches and planks now! 7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism. ( Yes please !) After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks. It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
