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!!!!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

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

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
