I’m Baaaaaaaacckkk!

So after a rather long hiatus due to just general life, I’m back to posting again! Miss me? 😉

It has been a while since my last post and good majority of that has to do with work, finding a new job, switching careers (again!) and school along with family and general life insanity.

It’s amazing how quickly things get away from you.

I’m going to try to post more often however. School is slowing down for the summer so I’ll likely have more time as it is, and the family will most certainly take some trips here and there (probably to Disney!) that I’ll review. I have one already that I need to post regarding the Boardwalk Inn and Resort from a recent trip.

All in all we’re doing alright. Things were rather rough there for a while financially, as Im sure everyone has had to deal with lately. But with my change back into the administrative world, it’s been alleviated somewhat. I miss my salon family and the creativity there in, but ya gotta do what you gotta do.

Currently, I’m, brainstorming some ideas for creativity here at home. Have some projects I want to get started on and some ideas that are in the preplanning phase of my brain. Will post more on those later as I get to them.

Mainly though, I’m focused on returning back to ME still. I’ve been participating in the 30 Day Squat Challenge as well as another challenge I found that tones the abs, The Six Pack March Challenge.

 

Now, I know it’s April, and almost May at that, but it looked fun so I’m using it. I’m currently on day eight and loving it so far. This is in addition to going to Zumba twice a week at my local gym and taking their kickboxing/kickboxing intervals class once a week. I figure I’ll be back in shape in no time and get rid of this last bit of weight that has been keeping me down.

I’m on day eight as I type this, and thankfully have a few other friends on the squat bandwagon at least for support and encouragement.

Using these monthly fitness challenges, which Im finding on Pinterest, I think will be a fun way to get back to where I was before in a controlled environment.

So, I’ll be posting more about that too, and possible provide some pics as updates and encouragement for others.

Oh, and Pinterst wise, I’m not linking that to here only because I want to keep some things private; though I’ll likely add things I find there to posts here and there.

So, good to be back everyone! Lets make the rest of 2013 amazing and healthy and happy!


Let the Countdown Begin! (Or: How to Pack a Toddler for Disney)

Tomorrow is DS2’s first BIG ADVENTURE to The Happiest Place on Earth! Needless to say I believe at this point he could care less, but for SO and I it’s another story entirely!

DS1 has been spending the summer with my parents for a much needed break from the norm for all of us. It’s a yearly tradition for them to take him to Disney for a week as it is, so he’s already there with them enjoying the park with other members of my family. We’ll be joining them tomorrow for the last day of their summer escape and to give us a MUCH deserved weekend away from home.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

The prep for the trip however – OMG! What have I gotten myself into?!?!

This is how I feel right now!

Bottles, Diapers, Sippy Cups, Wipes, Extra Clothes, Blankets, Cheerios, Puffs, Teddy Grahams, Containers, Ziploc Baggies. And don’t forget the stroller and the playpen OR the blueberries. Dear gods don’t forget the blueberries right now! (That’s all DS2 seems to currently want to eat and woe to those who refuse him the blue! I swear to gods he’s going to turn into a giant blueberry child!)

Oompah, Loompah, Doompa-de-do!

And that doesn’t even get me started on what I need to bring for ME. That’s just him. Then it becomes a game of Tetris to try and get it all in the vehicle for transport while not cramming him too much for the trip.

Soon, however, it will be time for bed and then I can worry about the last of it in the morning before getting things loaded up and hopefully not go insane in the process.

It is the Happiest Place on Earth after all…and I have chocolate to get me through the stress of getting there!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!!!!
