I'm SO excited for this year. I have lots of plans and dreams, but mostly I'm just hoping that this year things will fall into place and we will be able to enjoy it!
I have been working on my resolutions and I'm sad to say that for the first time in my life losing weight is on that list! The second baby really takes a toll on us mothers, huh?! And for various factors I wasn't able to lose the baby fat as easily this time around...But I can't diet...just thinking about it gives me a HUGE appetite, and for caloric things! So my motto this year is "Have Healthy Thoughts!" That way when I'm making food choices I can think of healthier things I can eat that will still satisfy me! I'm also trying to always have juice around the house so I'm not tempted to go with soda. I'm also working out with my new XBOX 360 Kinect that I got for Christmas! It's been SO fun and a real work out! I don't have to go anywhere and I can do it on my own time. The kids have been great about it and Tiffany will even dance with me some times!
So YES, I'm excited for this year!
But to start off, here is something I've been working on for a looooooong time! My picture frame montage wall!! I've always wanted to make one, but I didn't have any frames or the money to just go and buy a bunch of frames. So one day I was at DI (a thrift store) and found this glass frame. I paid one dollar, painted it brown and just had it sitting around FOREVER! Then after we moved back to Rexburg I started collecting frames. Porters (a local craft store) has these frames that are always 50% offand sometimes they even go to 60% off, so I purchased one or two at a time until I felt I had enough. Then I used my AWESOME silhouette machine to cut the H in vinyl to put on my glass frame. THEN I had to wait for my brother to take the pictures, SEND me the pictures, so I could finally develop them! By the time I had it all done it was Christmas e the Christmas tree was right by the wall, but I couldn't wait any longer...I HAD to hang them up! But I waited until I put away the Christmas tree to take a picture and show it to you guys!
I just love how it turned out! And talk about feeling accomplished!

Eu adoooro jogar no kinect!! Aqui em casa nos nao temos por causa do espaco, mas ja ouvimos falar q vai sair uma nova versao q servira para espacos pequenos. O Elvis tem e sempre vou la jogar com ele. O meu jogo preferido eh o fruit ninja, q eh o mesmo de um app do iPhone, nao sei se vc conhece, e da pra comprar on line pela Live.
Tbm to precisando perder uns quilinhos, e pra mim a melhor maneira eh controlando a ansiedade e fazendo escolhas melhores, optando por alimentos mais saudaveis e que saciam por mais tempo. As vezes entro da dieta do Diet Shake, mas baixa um pouco a minha imunidade.
Que bom q vc atualizou!
Beijoooosss
Eu tbm queria fazer um mega porta-retrato com fotos da família, aí acabei comprando um cru e pintando. Já faz um tempinho (até está no meu blog) e fiquei super feliz com o resultado. Agora eu até ganhei um outro que quero fazer com fotos da Melissa. Já até coloquei as fotos no pendrive e nunca vou lá revelar!Mas teu post me deu mais vontade de ir lá logo, hehe Quanto a perder peso...nos 40 dias depois que a Melissa nasceu, eu decidi não tomar refri e nem comer nada com chocolate. Não foi fácil, mas valeu a pena. Ajudou a evitar as cólicas dela e me ajudou a perder o peso da gravidez. Como eu evitava qquer coisa com chocolate, acabava comendo menos bolacha, menos sucrilhos, menos porcaria, hehe Mas agora ainda faltam 3 kgs que eu já estava acima antes de engravidar, e já voltei a comer chocolate...hmm, hehe Mas quero perder logo tbm...ninguém merece né!hehe Saudade flor!Beeijo!
Cute wall montage.
Good luck with the weight loss, I'm sure you'll get to your ideal weight in no time! Your age makes a good factor cause it's after 30 that your metabolism really slows down and it's harder. Anyway, that's my constant battle, I've been loosing weight, but not as fast as I wish. I'm with you though, I CANNOT diet...it's just too hard for me. I've been working out just about every day and unfortunately my progress is ultra slow. It's progress nevertheless and I'm happy.
