We are firm believers in giving our kids atnetion and doing things they like so when it comes to family movie  night we let the kids pick!  This week is was the new Baby Geniuses: Baby Geniuses And The Mystery Of The Crown Jewels.  We got the popcorn out, pajamas on, and cuddled up on the couch for a family movie night!

Wow, how the time flies.  I can remember the day when I was looking forward to having Mom and daughter date night, and now it is finally here!! We were invited to attend the junior high play – Annie on Saturday night with friends of ours.  I’m not going to lie I am not a huge fan of theatre but the tickets were inexpensive and Cheyenne was excited for some Mom and daughter time so how could I refuse.  Cheyenne and I had to stop and grab some flowers for our friend after the show, it was pretty cute seeing…

If you’ve been following along this past week I wrote a post about New Week – New Goals, and it was about getting back to the roots of why I started this blog in the first place – TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.  The best way to do that is have an accountability partner which I have talked about a lot in my Task Thursday vlogs.  I use my life coach, my planner, my husband, and this blog to keep me on track and headed in the right direction. My week in review in pictures! As a quick recap my goals from last…

For any of you who already read this I am so sorry I had to wing it and do another on because guess what everything was lost :(, I am super frustrated with my web host right now.

Wow, I can’t believe how much time has passed since I actually set some real weekly goals for myself.  Don’t get me wrong I always have some in mind but I seem to have a few issues with putting them down on paper.  Not sure if it is because I think I’m going to fail – which really I should believe in myself or if it is just from being lazy.  Either way I don’t want to overanalyze it and I’m going to get right down to business! I’ve seen a lot of bloggers lately making blogging, fitness, personal, financial,…

Many of you might of thought that I disappeared this week from my lack of posts and social media interaction when in reality I was busy being a Mom.  I’m not sure what life looks like to you on a regular basis but for me lately it has been CRAZY that’s right no regular routine and things get flipped upside down for no reason just like that.
