Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! The Jernigan family is headed off to Auburn to spend the weekend. Wow!! Change is hard! Instead of stopping at Whataburger for lunch, we made lunches for the family before we left. Healthier and CHEAPER - just not as convenient! We have millions of conveniences, yet they do not make us happy or healthy!
I was thinking this morning about a young friend of my son's who came over and asked for a Coke. NO COKE? WHAT DO Y'ALL DRINK????? My response? Water, milk, and juice!!! Wow! Y'all are crazy! Yes!! Crazy in a good way!!! If you do not buy it - you do not drink it!!
We must be the example for our children. We can not tell our kids to drink milk with supper and we drink diet coke. I remember my brother stating one day (as my kids were fighting) "why do we expect our children to act any better than we did?". INDEED!!!! Why do we expect our kids to eat any better than we do?
As we head out to the Plains we can be mindful as a family of making healthier choices! We can drink water instead of Coke! We can eat peanuts instead of Nachos! Don't call me if you see me eating a stadium dog (Auburn might lose if I don't)!!! Remember the 90/10 Rule!!!!
War Eagle! Roll Tide (yes I said it)! Go SEC!!! As for everyone else? Have a great weekend!
Blessings -

Emmie I hope you guys have a wonderful time on the way to the Plains...War Eagle! And Enjoy your stadium dog! Stopping and picnicking along the way was always fun! I miss that we never did that with our kids. But definitely a tradition to bring back around. WARRRR EAGLE!
