Your Blog Is Fabulous Award

Despite all of my recent insanity, ranting, raving and feeling sorry for myself, I received an award! Woohoo! I guess I really needed the pick-me-up. Thank you so very much Ty (AKA Mama) over at Mama of 3 Munchkins. She really has a wonderful blog full of announcements, freebies, giveaways, and more. If you have not already checked out Ty's blog, it is a real MUST!


Thank you again Ty for your kindness.

My Current Obsessions:



(Really, these are things I am working on obsessing about)




1. Working Out--granted, not seeing huge results yet, but I am trying not to get discouraged. Exercise is good for my physical and mental health.




2. Making Unique Dinners--I have gotten in a rut of making the same ole, same ole things for dinner. Although it is easy, I have been exploring new dinners. So far, the children and Rick have been receptive and even excited.




3. Worrying about my diet as much as I worry about the children's-- I think many mothers forget do this. Remember: Mommy's health is important too.





4. Setting apart time for fun for me--getting pedicures and manicures, making spa day appt and actually GOING, making appt to get my eyeliner tattooed. (Given to me as a gift a while back) Finally shopping with my gift cards (without the children, so I can actually try on things and browse)





5. Remembering that fun needs to be a priority with the children. If too much work occupies my time, parenthood is much too overwhelming. The children need the fun and so do I!




So, swimming lessons started today for Nick and Jacob... Soccer registration for Nick is this week.


Rick (AKA Hubs), Lyla and I will also attend these fun activities.

Thank you for the award! I can totally relate to every single one of those obsessions. A note about the exercise - just keep doing it. Honestly, I was running four times a week for 30 minutes a go for about three months before I saw ANY results, now I really feel like the weight is finally coming off.
