Late to bed, early to rise makes a woman healthy, wealthy, wise and tired.
Jack and Lily X 25. I love an eager reader
A watched iPad is something like a pot.
Homemade calzones started with yeast rolls. I’ll share the recipe soon
By Thursday, I’m on two cups a day. One for the morning and one for the ride to music lessons.
Picking tile is exhausting.
A cold Saturday night with nothing to do.
You know what they say about failing to plan
Yes. I joined the gym this week just like every 4th person in the population of the United States. While every person who has signed their name into the book of gym has their own reasoning for agreeing to have payments auto deducted from their account knowing good and well by April the gym will be getting free money, I was really and truly trying my best to stay away.
I hate gyms. H A T E.
I have a secret. I don’t like people looking at me. Okay, I don’t like men looking at me, specifically thirsty gym rat men. They are awful.
I once had a membership to LA Fitness and would literally look at my feet as I shuffled up the steps to the dreadmill in desperate hopes of not making eye contact with thot gym rat man. However, it never failed, just might look up to wipe the sweat out of my eye and ugh.
So. I signed on for a smaller gym that is open 24/7 for $15 month. I can go right when I put the kids on the bus and be out by 8a. I have no gym goals but to get fine, and by fine I mean lose my muffin top and shape up this booty that I’ve accumulated over the last year. Angela Bassett arms wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
I won’t bother you with sweat checks, weigh ins and photos of me in a crop top and bikers unless you want me to. Who doesn’t love a good before and after.
So, friends send virtual encouragement as I get back on this healthy living bandwagon that has been dragging me by the leg for quite sometime. Despite my apprehension, I’m kinda glad to be back on with an actual seat. Who’s riding with me at least until April?!
If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to judge me, here you go. Is my playlist trap enough?
Any workout goals for the year? What’s on your gym playlist?
If you have a few wayward candy canes lying around here’s an easy recipe that will put them to good use. While the red and white of the Christmas holiday has passed, if you couldn’t tell from all of the decor in stores Valentines day is upon us. Make everyday delicious with Kraft with these fun candy cane dessert minis that are perfect for a fun kids Valentines Day party or just a fun activity to get them in the kitchen.
These simple ingredients are all you need along with 1 1/2 cups of boiling water.
Mix the powdered jello mix with crushed candy canes and add hot water. Be sure to stir well after adding the hot water.
Reserve one cup of Cool Whip and add the remainder of the 8oz. tub into the dissolved jello mixture.
Pour mix into shot glasses or any cup of your choice. Of course the smaller the glass the more servings. Let chill for 2 hours or so. Once the jello had set top each glass with a dollop of the reserved Cool Whip and crushed candy canes
To sweeten things up a bit more Kraft has coupons that will make these dessert minis tasty and save you a little bit of money. For more recipes click here.

Every year. Every year. I start this challenge, and I vow to continue with that practice until I actually see it through to completion. Kind of like blogging everyday in November. I did that and probably won’t do it again. So let’s hope that momentum drives me to take 365 photos in a year…totally comparable.
I’ve normally placed pressure on myself to only use my DSLR but I’m allowing myself to use my iPhone this go ’round. Really and truly I hope to have the majority of the photos come from my camera. Photography is still a passion and I haven’t made much time for my hobby lately so here’s to great photos in 2016.
1| Cause you totally didn’t get enough toys at Christmas to be in Target just a week later pondering over a toy to purchase. Or maybe its the Target spell?
2| When you talk back and get your entire Christmas shoe collection confiscated until the middle of January, and to really show us you don’t care you alternate them. Then a day later ask to wear the Vans and were hit with a NO. #Welp
3| Cause Sundays are made for cuddling and Property Brothers marathons
