Around Here

One full week in January down...I thought I would update

you on a few happenings :)

 

 Around here...I'm getting ready to start a 24 day Advocare

challenge.  The first ten days are a cleanse and the last 14 days

are about getting your optimal nutrition.  I'm hoping it will

jump start my weight loss and propel me into a more healthy

lifestyle.  Thank goodness Auntie Stacy is also doing it...

we're going to keep each other on track!
Also  - this yoga picture is sort of a joke...as the DVD
we were following froze about two minutes in. Fail.

 

Around here...the weather definitely got

colder (and we woke up to our first real snow fall).

But, we are still trying to get outside more!

Around here....we are bundling up (see winter weather

comment above).  I got these new boots for Christmas

from Papa Rob :)  They are toasty warm!

Also - it was fun to hear my bestie Candice has

the same ones! (They are by Sorel via Nordstrom).

 Around here...my new winter coat is coming in handy!

The fur trimmed hood is taking it to the next level.

 



Around here...I'm enjoying the new calendar Auntie

Stacy gave me for Christmas.  It's very motivating

and the artwork is lovely!

 

Around here...we are still pretty obsessed with

Jake and the Neverland pirates.  We are also

pretend playing lots of pirate stuff...complete

with a telescope (from an old wrapping paper

tube) and eye patch.  Arrgh! Also - the tree

finally came down on Friday night. We let Max help

with it so he would not be surprised on Saturday morning.

However, he did ask if we could put it back up already.

Around here...I'm all about the Stella and Dot!

I got a beautiful new necklace (thanks Grandpa Jim

and Grandma Sugar!) and watch for Christmas.

I used my dot dollars to order the double wrap for it.

 



Around here...we are adding color to every bath.

We've done lots of colors....pink, orange, yellow,

turquoise, purple...it's lots of fun (and never

stains the tub).

Around here...we are still obsessed with the Magna

Tiles!  He loves to build...knock down...repeat.

Around here...we went to the Employee Recognition

Dinner at the Casino on Saturday night. It was such

a fun time.  Jack just managed to pop in for our picture ;)

While we did not win anything in the raffle...

I did the "wobble" on the dance floor pretty successfully...

so there's that.

Around here...Papa Rob and I got some adult time.

My mom and Auntie Stacy watched Max overnight

(while we were living it up at the Casino) - and then

kept him all the next day.  So....I forcefully suggested

that we visit Skyline for lunch...Rob went along with it...

(rather begrudgingly)...he just doesn't have the

stomach of steel like me!

 

Not pictured but still noteworthy - all of the laundry is put away...

we are making plans for our IKEA trip next weekend....I did lots of

food prep for the next 24 days...and I went back to Zumba tonight!

 

Wish me luck...you know I will let you know how it goes :)
