{#OurProject52} 17/52 Out of Focus

Another prompt that seems to be right on point with my life. Right now it seems that one area of my life has all of the clarity while a few of the others fall out of focus, and they continue to flip flop. Like can’t everything be in focus at one time?!

I suppose that is what makes life interesting! I have gained clarity…for now on a few changes I want to make here on the blog and starting May 1, I’m going back to sharing more of my life with you and taking the focus off blogging for business. It’s just all become a little impersonal for me and I started this blog for the community and that’s what I am going back to.

Weekend Vlog – Relay for Life. Selfie Stick. MomME time

This week’s weekend vlog is up. It is  one of my top goals in May to make sure these start getting back up by Monday evening. We’ll see!

This past weekend was fun, did a little shopping and spent time with family. Those two activities always make for a great time! I struggled to get a little time to myself but what’s new?

Healthy Snacking with Liberté + $15 PayPal Cash Giveaway

If you follow me on my personal FB I made the announcement that I am slowly climbing back on the health and fitness saddle that continuously throws me off as if it is attached to a  bucking horse. The important thing is getting back on right?

36 doesn’t release pounds as easily I’m finding so as I lace up my running shoes and take charge of my health, I’m finding that the desire to snack is constantly causing me not to be great. I hate to punish everyone in the house but after this round of Oreos and other “snacky” items are gone they won’t be replaced. I’m going to call this a total family lifestyle change so I don’t feel alienated.
