I am quitting sugar

I am reviewing the book "I Quit Sugar" - The first thing I noticed is how interesting the layout is. If you don't want to read the book cover to cover, there are interesting bits in the margins to read,and very easy to flip thru.
I like that the author does not go "cold turkey" with a detox program in the first week, that she starts you off slow, and you do not completely give up sugar till week three.
I really like that she isn't preachy in the book, she understands that sugar is in almost everything we eat, and extremely hard to give up. I enjoyed reading the suggestion she gave when you are having a hard time with cravings, and getting discouraged
One thing about the layout that I would change, it part of the "getting started" section is in the back, where the other talks about equipment and things used to create the recipes, I would have put this before starting the Week 1 section. Trying to flip back and forth was also a bit distracting. Putting the recipes on the page that is suggesting to use them, might be a bit easier, but I do understand what she was trying to put with putting them all in one section.
The recipes look delicious and very easy to put together.

I will be getting started on this program in the next week and I am interested to see the outcome

Shaving cream art!


I decided that since Margo was napping, that Mia and I would do some art making, this is called Marbling Paper with Shaving Cream..the direction are here Shaving Cream Paper

The supplies, shaving cream, sticks, and water colors..a little goes a LONG way!
Mia really liked stirring and always wanted more color
After purple and red..came blue and green, leaving more white in the shaving cream was better then trying to color the whole thing.
Putting the paper in a squishing it down.
Letting the paper dry a bit, I wiped it off with paper towels but I might use rags and rinse them next time I used a lot of paper towels..it was a bit messy.
Finished product, purple and red
Blue and green waiting to dry.
Blue and green finished product!
Do not touch these water colors directly, they stain, the only thing I do not like about them, use droppers to drop the color, I am not sure it comes out of clothes either...so be careful!
