    Karen I only think that I have crockpots! I make my bone broth in a pot on top of the stove! I know that you can make it other ways, but this is how my husband always did it at his restaurant.

    Pip thanks! I didn’t mean to be hanging all out there though 😳

    Wonder what's going on with your MFP?!?!

    Mine is ticking along nicely. :)
    I don’t know what is going on, but a lot of others are also complaining about the time posts and pages are taking to load.

    (((Heather)))— Your DH is a kind & wonderful man. His relatives seem to lack courtesy. In your situation I would be sure the house will welcome them and DH will be seen as the gracious host.

    I hope all goes well. ❤️

    I had a chat with DH’s sister this evening. It was nice to hear from her & also a reminder to stay in touch with her. ⭐️

    Michele thanks for sharing your recipe! I might try it this week. It’s supposed to be raining off and on so I might enjoy making it to share at one of the get togethers.

    ?? about making bone broth-
    I see you use apple cider vinegar.
    Does it have to be that type?
    I have all kinds of vinegar(rice, red wine, white) but not apple cider.

    Interesting about seasonal foods, I don’t think any of the fruit and vegetables I will eat are available here in the Winter.

    They publish seasonal food guides here like this one:

    Others go into even more detail.

    Terri - I am getting g very frustrated with how slow MFP is. I’m using my iPhone. I wonder if that’s the issue.

    Tracey in Edmonton.

    I'm on a laptop or android phone.

    I presume everyone has restarted their modems and routers? Scanned for viruses? Cleared your browsing history?

    Is it just MFP or other websites too?

    ACTIVE APRIL
    1. Commit to being more active this month starting today. Yes!
    2. Spend as much time as possible outdoors today. Yes!
    3. Listen to your body and be grateful for what it can do. Yes! I can garden, which requires all sorts of body motion, and cycle.
    4. Eat healthy and natural food today and drinks lots of water. Yes! Ate my usual food and drank lots of water up till about 8 pm. We won't talk about what happened after that.
    5. Turn a regular activity into a playful game today. Hmmm ... Walking around the shops? Climbing stairs?
    6. Do a body-scan meditation and really notice how your body feels. Achy.
    7. Get natural light early in the day. Dim the lights in the evening.
    There isn't much light early in the day here. Plus I was sleeping then. Plus it was cloudy, drizzly and rainy all day.
    But I do dim the lights in the evening. It's one of many steps I take to wind down in the evenings to prepare myself for the night.
    8. give your body a boost by laughing or making someone laugh
    I rarely laugh. Most things don't strike me funny.
    Lots of things amuse me, but not enough for laughter.

    9. Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise

    I often do, but as today's work involved sitting at 2 computers, I walked on the treadmill during a break instead.

    10. Have a day with less screen time and more movement

    Unfortunately, today was another day sitting at 2 computers.
    But I did go downstairs to row and lift weights.

    Hoping the rain will let up soon!!! It's been 4 days already!


    11. Set yourself an exercise goal or sign up to an activity challenge

    One of my more favourite areas!! :)

    We aim to cycle at least one 50 km ride each month and have been doing that for a while. :) At our AGM at the end of March, we got a bag full of these each. :)

    We will have to see when we can fit our April ride in ... the 5 days off over Easter would have been good but it rained and rained and was cold and windy. Snow at higher elevations.

    Maybe next weekend ... we'll see.

    AND ... one of the bigger running events moved their event to September which is fantastic for me. Originally, it was this month, but I was nowhere near ready to even sign up for the 5K. Now I've got the winter to get in shape. :)

    Also, now that I'm working back in the same building I was in about 16 months ago, with many of the same people, we've started our stair climbing challenge again. We are easing into it this month because of Easter and ANZAC Day but we'll be ready to be much more consistent in May.

    The stair climbing challenge is exciting because when I'm busy climbing 20+ flights of 20 stairs each day I am at work, I lose weight.


    12. Move as much as possible, even if you’re stuck inside
    13. Make sleep a priority and go to bed in good time
    14. Relax your body & mind with yoga, tai chi or meditation.
    15. Get active by singing today (even if you think you can’t sing)
    23. Go exploring around your local area and notice new things
    24. Be active outside. Dig up weeds or plant some seeds
    25. Try a new online exercise, activity or dance class.
    26. Spend less time sitting today. Get up and move more often.
    27. Focus on eating ‘a rainbow of multi-colored vegetables today.
    28. Regularly pause to stretch and breathe during the day.
    29. Enjoy moving to your favorite music. Really go for it.
    30. Go out and do an errand for a loved one or neighbor.
    31. Get active in nature. Feed the birds or go wild-life spotting.
    32. Have a ‘no screens’ night and take time to recharge yourself.
    33. Take an extra break in your day and walk outside for 15 minutes
    34. Find a fun exercise to do while waiting for the kettle to boil (or pan of water.)
    35. Meet a friend outside for a walk and a chat.
    36. Become an activist for a cause you really believe in
    37. Make time to run, swim, dance, cycle or stretch today

    I have all kinds of vinegar(rice, red wine, white) but not apple cider.

    I researched it and it does not have to be apple cider vinegar, you can use any acidic liquid, including other vinegars, wine or even lemon juice. At least a quarter cup.

    (((hugs))) to those who need them.

    Those bulbs are so beautiful Heather.

    It seems we've bypassed spring entirely and gone fullblown straight into summer here in MN. It's supposed to be near 80F here today and most of the week. (then of course plummet back to the 50s and rain by the weekend when we all want to be outside again... lol)

    I'm SO SAD... had to take my beloved laptop in to be "fixed" and cleaned from some "screaming-meenies" that have infiltrated and won't let me download anything without freezing the entire device. That won't work with me needing to DL everything from my designers in order to share things on FB and elsewhere.

    Thanks for the HAPPY-DANCE, Lanette!

    11. Set yourself an exercise goal or sign up to an activity challenge... doing the Don Fiori tai chi that "someone" (sorry...who?) reccommended earlier. Thank You, he's wonderful.
    Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN
