Catching Up with the Dial fam...School Days

Our summer vacation ended in August.  Sad as it is to watch pool days dwindle down the Dial fam was ready.  New school excitement had set in! Back to school haircuts were done, new shoes were purchased, and we had even practiced a new wakeup time once or twice. 

For Jack the excitement of his big boy school and big boy backpack was undending. 

He walked into that school and out of his summer life like he was King of St. Pats.  He is, of course.

Mae, on the otherhand, had no clue what school was (other than Jack's new school).  Our adventurous little girl was more concerned with her "pack pack" than school.

She smiled and we snuck out.  It took 2 weeks, but we are tantrum and tear free at drop off. 

Time has flown.  I was just texting with a good friend today and mentioned that our babies were about to turn 2.  I can almost *almost* remember anxiously awaiting Jack's arrival. 

My very FIRST Spotlight Saturday!

I've been really really good about my bodily output. I run, chase children, wrestle said children, do workout classes, etc. But what I put in? That's a whole different story. One that I'm not really good at...so here goes.

You are what you eat...in that case I'm one really big carbohydrate. No seriously I can smell a carb a million miles away. A vegetable? Forget it. I only put green food on the table because my husband loves it.

So naturally when my friend, Ashley, first told me about "Greens" I was a skeptic. An almost 8 month skeptic. And today? I want to break down the powder that makes me no longer a skeptic and suddenly superwoman.

Truth #1: The American diet is full of fats and sugars
Truth #2: These fats and sugars contribute to our blood being way too acidic.

Enter Greens. Greens are full of natural nutrients that help to bring our bodies from an acidic state to a more alkaline state.

How? 2 scoops of Greens (or 1 packet of Greens on the Go) are full of:

- 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables: I mean who doesn't want/need those? The best part? 8 ounces later you don't have to feel bad about pushing the broccoli around on your plate. And you won't have the bloat if you actually eat it.

- 38 herbs and nutrient rich superfoods: Giving a HUGE boost to your diet. How? With vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients (according to WebMD this is a natural substance found in certain plants that helps promote health and rpevent various diseases), and enzymes that are easily absorbed by your body. Greens are a supplement...not a replacement. But even if I skip the beans or asparagus I still feel like superwoman.

-Probiotics: Really crazy, but it is actually good for your digestive health to add a little healthy bacteria. Helps to keep your body regular (God knows how my husband could be anymore regular) and helps to remove toxins so your body can naturally absorb more healthy nutrients. Not to mention gets rid of killer diaper rash.

-Magnesium and Potassium: These help to alkalinize the body. Did you know an acidic body is low on potassium AND usually low on magnesium? Because magnesium helps to regulate your potassium levels. In a nutshell you can't absorb potassium without proper levels of magnesium. FUN FACT: When your body is OVERLY acidic it naturally releases calcium and magnesium from the bones to promote an alkaline pH...naturally leading to a magnesium deficency.

- Antioxidants: No come on, who doesn't want those?

ItWorks Greens are natural, organic, non-GMO, AND super affordable. I like the berry the best. My kids call it green juice. I call it my liquid drug of choice.
