For vegetarian meals!  I know, that sounds crazy, but, y'all, I have been eating really unhealthily lately, and I need to fix that.  I know for a fact that Mike and I do not get enough veggies in our diet, but there is an (over) abundance of meat.  We are such carnivores!  Here's the thing, though,...

It's been a few days since my last post and that's not because I haven't been putting in the time but more because I'm tired from everything I have been doing. I stepped up my efforts in my weight loss and healthy journey and I am enjoying every sore moment of it. It also helps that the hubs has started working out. Not...

Monay, I mean Monday...I've been waiting very patiently...as have you, and it's finally here!  My newest kitchen toy.  I know, I know, it's silly for me to get so excited about kitchen appliances...or is it.  Y'all, kitchen appliances are to me as shoes are to other women.  I have one for every occasion....

Some may think that I'm a horrible parent for the next sentence but I just can't help myself. I cannot run with my oldest anymore. I know. I know. It's only our second run, but in all honesty it was probably one run to many. Here are my problems:1) he doesn't run. Not at my pace at least, which is totally fine but I need...

For a very long time I have wanted to add some animal print to my home decor, but the hubs was not on board. So I did what any good crafter would do, I pulled out a blank lampshade and some puffy paint. I drew some faint zebra lines on my lampshade and the spent a couple of days filling in my design. I used white metallic...

Well I think I've finally developed a workout routine that works for me. The only hitch..... Going to bed at 1:15 in the morning is never a good idea when you have to be up at 7:30 to feed, dress and prepare the kids and you for the day. 7:30 gives me exactly 1 hour to do all of that. I really need to discipline myself...

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted anything up. I feel a little bad because I do have stuff to share. It's just been hard to motivate myself. Well motivate myself crafty wise. I've been trying to focus on me and the other journeys we're on. So anyways I wanted to share the yarn orbs I made along with where...

I decided this morning that I was not going to go to the gym, instead I was going to run outside and enjoy the fabulous weather that has graced the area.Best. Idea. Ever.I went out after the school rush, and it was so nice and peaceful. I tried to push myself, work the hills and I'm feeling the work in my calves now, but...

  I'm jumping right in!  Last week I ended Friday's post by mentioning that my other success from last week was GF shrimp Alfredo.  Say what?!  No foolin'.  I'm actually sad I didn't take pictures because it turned out beautifully.  Of course, this can absolutely be done with regular...

So today I decided that I didn't want to venture out to the gym, but I am trying very hard to keep to my training schedule and instead of resting today I'm going to rest tomorrow and then run a couple of quick miles over the weekend.So I loaded my small fry up into his stroller, and headed out for a quick run around  the...

Today was a wonderful day!School was back in session!!!!!!!!!!  I know I was more excited about this fact than Devlin was. In fact, he told me this morning that he didn't want to go to school. Too bad!!!!!This Momma needs a return to normalcy and that includes my big guy going back to school, so I can then head off...

After taking a week off from the gym, I was very glad to see my scale read 261 this morning.I figured I had probably gained some pounds back with my poor eating habits and what not over spring break. Its not the lowest weight I've been in my little journey, but its not far off either, so what do I care. Is a pound...

 Don't you just love it when you solve a major problem.  You feel like you just really accomplished something, beat an adversary even.  My adversary these last few weeks was gluten...or Celiac.  I mentioned recently that Mike has been diagnosed with Celiac disease.  Since then, I've been working,...

My new routine is not going well. I probably shouldn't have started a new routine days before sprig break started. I've been to the gym once. For zumba. Getting there on time was an exercise. In patience. The boys have not stopped arguing. They're at it all the time and I cannot wait until school is back in session. Next...

So I'm almost to painting the vanity, and I can't decide what to do!Its one of those cases where there are simply too many good ideas.So I started a poll on the facebook page.Here's the link!  Vanity Paint Poll! Please go give me your input! BTW, its pinned at the top of the page, so hopefully there are no issues...

Did you ever have a craft that you really wanted to do? Did you get it done? Maybe after a couple of tries?Did you ever get it right and then have absolutely no idea what to do with it?I have! I have! I have!Its happened right now.I made yarn orbs, after two attempts I got them right.Now I have way too many ideas, and...
