Motivation!!

Here is some pre- New Years motivation to get you out there looking and feeling good about yourself!

1st - start everyday with the thought that something good is going to happen

2nd - surround yourself with positive uplifting reading material

3rd - make sure you work out to increase the oxygen and adrenaline.  Increased adrenaline and blood flow ultimately leads to a more healthy positive mind frame.  

4th - Stay hydrated.  Helps you stay sharp mentally!  And you're body isn't bloated with unnecessary carbonation. (Although you will see me with one coke zero at least one a day) ...hey, I'm not perfect!   :-)

Never too early to get on the health bandwagon!

Stay hydrated!!  :-)

Holiday Christmas Pics

Some Christmas Pictures of me and my son.

Sure beats the prices of the portrait studios.  I love my camera and it brings out the same quality as those pictures that you would pay hundred of dollars for.  Natural lighting and outdoor scenery.
Just Beautiful!


The idea was for me and my son to wear matching outfits (same color shirt and jeans).  My shirt ended up being more of an apricot and my son's shirt was a little bit more in the pink family.  Either way, it was a nice day with my son.  Always fun to capture memories!

Some Christmas Memories...

Some special Christmas memories at our local town's christmas parade.

Here are some pics taken by son and iPhone selfies.

Almost time for the big day!  Jesus' Birth!

Merry Christmas!  Ho!Ho!Ho!

Thanksgiving

It was a great Thanksgiving at my house!  I made a turkey that turned out awesome and I am so glad that I decided to do that!  I have always let someone else take care of the turkey.  I braved it today and it turned out great.  Here a few quick snapshots of the day.

This was such a candid shot taken by my son.  I was still in my pajamas so forgive me I wasn't ready for the paparazzi!  ha!  You ladies understand, can't say no to the little ones!  :-)

Yay!  Turkey turned out great!  

What a fun day!  I am so thankful for my family and that God has given me breath in my lungs.  Hoping that everyone has had a great Thanksgiving too!  :-)

Christmas Woes

Don't get me wrong, I love this time of year.  I just hate that I am not able to buy everything I want for my kids.  My son wants a new drum set and I am not able to buy it for him.  Oh how I would love too!  I would be mom of the year for sure!  

Instead it may be a lot of little things just to say that I bought something for them for Christmas.

That has left me a little down.  Am I over reacting, probably.  But I really wanted Christmas to be something magical for them.  For their eyes to get real huge and just thing that their dreams had come true. I know it is just me. They will be happy no matter what. 

What mom wants is just a new coffee maker!  I really, really want one that has a timer and will start and stop itself.  That would be awesome!

Preferably a Keurig! 

 A girl can dream!  :-)

Most of all I just want my kids happy.  I don't want any sad faces.

Tis' the season... 

One of my favorite picture at Christmas, years ago....

Freezing

The temps have been in the low 60's this week!  Which to me is freezing.  I am so happy I was able to pick up this coat earlier this year.  

I love this jacket!  It's lined in red satin and so pretty!

Here's hoping it warns up some tomorrow!  

Birthday!!

Its my Birthday today!  No special plans except a dinner for me and my son.  Which is a present to me!  :-)

Almost in my 40's, not there quite yet!!  

Have a blessed day!!  :-)
