Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
Holy smokes you guys...Valentine's Day + my birthday + plus a weekend + falling off the clean eating wagon= total stomach disaster! I think I spent most of yesterday dragging myself along, wanting to sleep, and listening to my stomach talk to me. Don't get me wrong, I had such an awesome time but I sure paid for it! I will show you some of my indulgences on tomorrow's Treat Yourself ... [ Read More ]
Treat Yourself Tuesdays have become one of my favorite posts thanks to Becky over at Olives 'N Wine. I get to share some of my favorite things with you AND I get to share them with myself :). That's the point of these posts right? To find the time to get in a little guilt-free pampering. With Valentine's Day coming up on Friday and my 34th Birthday on Saturday there is no better time to show ... [ Read More ]
Hey...did you guys know I ran a half marathon last weekend? You know, if I didn't have some photos and a medal I am not sure I would believe I did it either. I had been quiet about the race, these last few months, because I wasn't sure if I was going to even sign up in the first place. Between taking 6 weeks off from running due to my surgery and then only having 5 weeks after that to train, ... [ Read More ]
Linking up with Becky from Olives 'n Wine again this week for another Treat Yourself Tuesday Post. Remember my first post that I did a couple of weeks ago about finding some time to pamper yourself? Well, I wish I could say I have been following through with that. The kids have been sick, our dog has been sick, I have been sick and I am lucky if I have treated myself to lunch or a shower this ... [ Read More ]
Just 3 months ago the Advocare 24 Day Group Challenge Facebook page I have, ran it's very first fun, successful and inspiring group challenge. At that time there were about 75 of us. Fast forward to today...we are up to over 450 challengers (and growing daily)!! The sudden growth can be chalked up to two things....the program works, and the amazing people experiencing these results, can't ... [ Read More ]
It's been awhile since I've been crafty around here, so I decided to do a quick Michael's drive-by yesterday with Shane in tow. This means I had all of 10 minutes to fly through the store with him kicking and screaming. That, paired with having no idea what I was even there for, lead to a rather unproductive and stressful trip to the craft store (do you see why I have taken a break from ... [ Read More ]

It's been a busy week, so instead of trying to come up with 5 things I want to talk about for a Five on Friday post...I thought I would just leave you with an awesome Freebie this Friday. I had mentioned recently that I am now a Pearista for Pear Tree Greetings and aside from being in LOVE with their card designs...they go ahead and do something like this which makes me adore them even more. I ... [ Read More ]
Well, ever since posting my Treat Yourself Tuesday post last week...it has made me much more aware of making the time and effort to do some little things for myself throughout the week. Thanks to Becky for starting TYT, and giving me the thumbs up to pay some attention to ME. I think I may have gotten a little carried away though...but when it comes to Stella & Dot jewelry I just can't help ... [ Read More ]
