I heard so many times:”Parsley is a miracle! It helps you drop the pounds. ”
Whaaat? Parsley suppose to help you drop the pounds? Is that true?
I want to believe in miracle and one of my favorite quote is “Always believe that something wonderful will happen”.
So, I went to the local organic store and as soon as my eyes caught him I whisper:
“Hello my Italian lover known to the world as the Italian parsley.I am going to test you and drink you because I want to lose 5 lbs.”
So, I paid for my lover (only $2.99) and I brought him to my home. Soon I will be ready for my vicious testing….

On a serious note are there any benefits of parsley other than to lose a few pounds ?
Parsley contains high amounts of potassium and vitamin A, calcium, vitamin C and phosphorus.
It is an excellent ally in the fight against urinary problems, kidney disease, a strong diuretic and very rich source of cancer-fighting antioxidants.
So spending $2.99 was well wort it. Don’t you think?
My recipe is the following:
Boil 4 cups of water.(1L)
5 star cookies boiling water for pursley tea
Add 5 TBSP parsley
5 star cookies 5 TBSP pursley tea
Let steep for 20 min.
You can drink with chopped parsley or strain the tea.

Do not drink more than a 4 cups per day.

Sorry guys when I said I’d leave you in suspense I didn’t mean for it take this long! Life has thrown a lot my way since I rang in 2016!
But I will continue where I left off…or not. To be completely honest with you I’m not too terribly motivated to write this.
I much prefer to write fiction, or write about fiction. I like tall tales, making up stories and telling everyone who is willing to listen about all the amazing books
out there and the fact that a lot of these amazing books I read come from home grown talent!
This just thrills me to my core! Prairie authors abound and I don’t want to tell you anymore about myself, other than
I wish to be one someday but am also extraordinarily happy and fulfilled with my career in childcare.
Starting where I am and pursuing my passions from this place is just as thrilling and I want to tell you about these amazing authors.
I don’t want to go back any longer. I just want to move forward! Let’s move forward together!
With that some hilarious things a child in my daycare centre told me today:
It was someone’s birthday, which in world of most children is a BIG DEAL! Then this adorable little guy piped up and said, “My mommy made me have a birthday!” I said “Oh yeah, she made you?” He looked up at me with the funniest angry face ever and said grudgingly “Yes she did!” Okay…he’s an old soul I guess :p
I’ve found that children really like to hear themselves talk and will say anything that comes to mind. One little boy announced to his friends as he was building a Lego house, “I have a penis! And play dough!” Two very important things to a three-year-old boy!
One of the girls is convinced that there is a store in her tummy and when she eats, the food goes shopping for baby stuff…if only I had half that child’simagination…maybe she’ll be the next J.K. Rowling and I can say I was her daycare teacher
I love looking after children. Their imaginations never fail to surprise and amaze me and their (most of the time) sweet gestures that they have no idea mean so much. Like wiping a child’s jacket off when they fell down, older children getting a Kleenex and wiping a younger child’s tears or giving them a hug, or just smiling for no apparent reason. I often try to remember my mind set at that age but it remains one of life’s greatest mysteries. Jesus has told us to be child like in faith, trusting, which goes against everything we are taught as we grow older. But what a lovely way to live don’t you think?
Tomorrow is Miami Open Men’s Final. We are going to see two remarkable players.
1.NOVAK DJOKOVIC
and
2. KEI NISHIKORI
Novak Djokovic with his current aura of gold has lost just one time in Miami since 2010 and has won 55 of his last 57 matches at Masters 1000 events.
This man, a gluten free fanatic,a joker and the most amazing human being is writing history of tennis.
And not just by chasing a very lucky, little, yellow ball but also by representing tennis as a sport.
By having the foundation to help children or by dancing in New York he is with us and we are together in the midst of tennis history….and we are not even aware of it.
Why?
Because there are so many unfairly ifs send towards him and I know when it is all said and done, he will be the greatest the sport has ever seen.
Until then I am making quick, no bake bread called “Oreo in Paris”.
