{you wanna be hot for the holidays? me too!}

I am joining in on a great challenge I discovered over at 5 minutes for mom today that I'm pretty excited about.

My hubby has dropped major pounds this summer by cutting his carbs way down. He's been trying to get me motivated to change my eating habits, but I just wasn't mentally there yet. My broken ankle is going to make this challenge extra challenging, since I can't really exercise, but I'm up for it. I can definitely change the way I eat, broken bones or not.

So I'm in...how about you? You wanna be hot for the holidays too?

Easter Sunday - Brrrrrr

So on Easter Sunday it was pretty chilly here. I wanted a family picture of everyone in their Easter duds, but I didn't know how to set the timer on my camera and there wasn't another person to do it. Soooo, here is our family in several pics!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So today I made sure that the kiddos were wearing green (after Mike reminded me & they were already dressed in other clothes) so that no one would be pinched. The kids were excited to help set the table for dinner and to decorate the dining area with the various St. Patrick's Day arts and crafts they had completed at school. It was a very festive environment for our St. Patrick's day Breakfast for Dinner Night - green eggs, hash browns, and sweet rolls with green icing.
