Walking on Sunshine ...

Hydrangea Angel ...
She's watching over all the flowers here in my perennial garden ... we haven't had rain in a long time here in NJ.  Hope she can keep watch during the next heat wave coming next week.

Just an update to those of you who didn't see my facebook post two weeks ago (see below picture) ... I had a follow up appointment with my neurosurgeon just to go over the latest mri done 3 months post-radiation/cyberknife.  There is nothing new to report ... the tumor hasn't shrunk as of yet (maybe it will with the radiation) but it hasn't grown either so that is great news!  I am now on a "come back in one year" regimen - yippee! I'm so grateful for those who have supported me through the last 2 years and 6 months! Wow I just can't believe it's been that long!

I've been busy learning the ropes of book publishing the last few months.  It has been a really good experience and I highly recommend it for those of you who have thought about writing a book and just gave up on the idea as it seemed too overwhelming!  I'm currently sending my book files to be formatted to be an ebook (Kindle and Nook)!  The book and ebook will be available for purchase very soon ... in fact I have a shipment on the way to my house right now!  I can't wait to hold it in my hands and read it!  My book is a manual ... it is designed to help busy moms who need some guidance in feeding their young athletes healthy food while maintaining a bit of sanity!   I'm not saying it will ever be the easiest job in the world ... it never will be!  Busy moms will always be busy if their kids play sports or are engaged in other activities.  But, in this day and age of never ending sports, fast food and limited time, we sometimes just want to feed them something! Bonus points if  it is easy and healthy!  So, that's what I'm all about ... quick, easy and helpful to growing athletic bodies (and us parents too)!

 So, go out and enjoy summer and when the back to school thoughts kick in (shhh, not yet) my book will be ready for you to get your kitchens, cars and fridges in order!

Summer Love,
Krista
