1- Food prep!!! Michael and I have made a commitment to do our grocery shopping and food prep Monday nights! I'm beyond excited to start this for our lunches and meals. This is a huge step for us.


2- Work out and lose that last of the baby weight. I have 30 pounds to lose. Yup I became a statistic and gained weight from November to December. If you guys don't already you should follow my girl Big Holly she is doing a January challenge and I'm in like Flynn on this one. Plus the chance of winning $150.00!!!! I also was given money by my mother in law for Christmas so I think I'm going to invest in some training sessions at my gym and I'm going to hit it hard. I already roped my mother into being my biggest loser coach and if I don't workout at least 5 times a week I have to pay her $20.00 for every day that I miss in a week!!!! This will last until I hit my goal weight with weigh-ins every other week. I know I can do this!!!


3- Picking up the house every night. I hate dishes and they are NOT my job. But my husband does bath for the boy every night and so dishes sometimes get left for a night or two so my goal is to pick up the slack and make sure the dishes are done every night. Along with putting away the laundry and keeping the house picked up.

4- Save money every month!!! We need more savings and I want to be able to make our home our dream home sooner rather than later. So I'm going to coupon my fingers off and become a cheap-ass. We are also doing that savings jar that is floating around blog land. You end up with over $1300 in the end so that is a start.

5- Finding joy and special moments everyday. I have an amazing life. I'm blessed beyond words and 2014 is going to be my year of gratitude. I'm going to soak up the small moments and be grateful for the everyday things.


Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
