We’re into reno projects here at the House of Q. In the bathroom we changed the 1960 swing-style cabinet mirror to a sleek large wood framed mirror and we’ve been gardening … tomorrow the painting starts. The list is endless but the funds are sure to dry up long before the to-do list… (read = we’re taking donations!) .
Without the grandparent “village” we’d never be able to tackle these projects… we couldn’t be more grateful.
Q boy update:
Kai is still grandpa’s little shadow. He’s always keen for action and usually has a suggestion of what they should do next. Connor has discovered that Gramma Lizzie is great for climbing on, she sings and has glasses to grab. She also shares her passion for the kitchen with Connor and all the gadgets and swinging cabinet doors. She let's Connor bang pots around and is always ready with a delicious spoon to stick in his mouth. Connor has definitely found a friend in Gramma Lizzie.
Elimination Update:
There will be some curious readers… the reality is that I was good when I was cooking, and firm on my intention but now that Gramma Lizzie’s here… I’m officially off the elimination challenge… yep! It was good while it lasted but I am lovin’ me some home cooked meals courtesy of Gramma Lizzie. I still think far too much about every food choice I make and have irreversibly changed the way I look at food, eating and my body but it’s been nice to eat and dine more freely again. So all in all, my symptoms are greatly improved but I still need to try some foods I haven’t had in 4 weeks. It was a great experience and I can definitely feel and see a difference in my body since adding foods back in (both good and bad). The end of the challenge has left me with lots to think about as I nourish these Q boys and move into the future of returning to work and eating healthy (suggestions, ideas and tips are greatly appreciated!!)
Thanks to the grandparents, it’s a good life for the Q boys and the Q parents.
The real question is: when are you moving to YYC?
