Spring has arrived

Oh my goodness!  I feel like just about every muscle in my body has been bruised.  My favorite firm workouts arrived on Tuesday afternoon and I worked out Tues, Wed, Thurs….which explains my total body soreness.  I’m actually really excited about these dvd’s because it’s what I used to get back into shape after Gracie [...]

something to think about

I was just reading the back of my kitchen hand soap (random I know but I suddenly became curious) and it says to 1.wet hands and forearms 2. Apply soap to hands and forearms 3. Scrub hands and forearms for 2 minutes 4. Rinse and Repeat.  Now, my question to you is this:  who actually does that???  [...]

New Favorites

I have two new favorite products for the home.
First is the method soaps and cleaners.  It’s awesome stuff.  The dish soap lasts for a really really long time and plus it’s good for the environment.  They also have fun scents.  I currently have lavendar all purpose cleaner and the pink grapefruit dish soap. If you haven’t heard [...]

I’m really happy about my productive morning today.  I woke up at 4:30 to the sounds of Becca blowing bubbles.   Total cuteness.  The sweet girl had a massive poopy explosion so I was up cleaning her and then began my day.  I was able to do laundry, clean dishes from last night (we had someone [...]

Zucchini Bread and other stuff

Mmmmm…..it’s smelling pretty good in my home right now.  I have two loaves in the oven and I can’t wait until it’s done.  There’s something very comforting about having some sort of fresh bread baking in fall.  I got the recipe for the bread off of allrecipes.com  It’s a great site to find different recipes for [...]

Housework

Four weeks ago today I gave birth to my beautiful Rebecca Leigh.  I really haven’t done too much house work since then – except for yesterday.  For some reason I had so much energy.  It was great!  I was able to clean the kitchen, my bedroom, wash and fold laundry, sweep and vaccume, and clean [...]
