Pinterest is an amazing tool. I got this weight loss smoothie the other night from it. It's so yummy and green!

Banana, peaches, mango and a bunch of spinach and water.

This is day two of drinking them for breakfast. I hope to get more energy since my little lady sucks it all out of me.

Do you have any energy tips?

This bacon popcorn looks really yummy; I am just having the regular kind with apples, OJ and some coffee. Its making me feel a bit better. Man hands and I are fighting, silly stuff really but it doesn't make for a happy morning. I don't want to back down and I am sure he wont either (we are both really stubborn) but I want to make it better.

How do you fight and make up? 

lost for word

Maybe its the changing weather or this up coming weekend (I'm going to a wedding ALONE and my ex will be there {awkward})  Maybe I miss a good friend and her smile...

Yesterday I got the Chandelier I won from a Sweet Harvey Letterpress LLC giveaway! Now to figure out where to put it...I'm thinking above our bed after we paint the wall.

Urban Walls

I also got my mini business cards in and LOVE them!

 I am having a blast crafting on Monday nights while watching football. (it makes me feel a bit better about watching)

Happy Tuesday!

(really it's only Tuesday)

 

Coffee Break-ish

It's time for some coffee with Edward... (been way too long)

as he is noticing my pants fit me a little better cause I have lost 15 lbs! OK that's old news (kinda) but it's still exciting to me and even more exciting that I put on a pair of pants this morning and they fit me better!!

Have a Fantastic Wednesday!!

Birthday Weekend Fun

This weekend was full of birthday parties and FUN! Saturday was my godsons 9th Birthday Party at the park...too bad it rained but we still had a great time.

right after the birthday party Al and I packed up the kids to take them back home to Cle Elum for Rowan's 4th birthday party on Sunday where a special guest showed up...

{really Man Hands}

He was so excited his hero came to say Happy Birthday and was so surprised Spiderman was THAT tall. Also I fell in love with Spiderman...Sorry about your luck.

How was your weekend?

Princess Panda reporting for duty

Well I did it! Woke up, it helped that Suzy really needed to go outside and pee so I had to let her out. Either way this morning was a success! Yoga was all done by 6:15. Yes I am tired, but it feels good! Also got some more time to read Eat, Pray, Love. I'm almost done and its taking me WAY too long to finish so I need to get crakin!             psst, how cute is this couple? I wanna be that couple someday...

Anyway its my birthday month so I got myself a princess cup from chuck e cheese the other day and I am drinking my water from it all month so everyone knows! I have never been big on celebrating my birthday but this year I have been really excited...maybe cause I will be 28 and since I was a little girl I have been dreaming of being in my late 20's and how my life is just what I wanted it to be...just beginning. I love the adventure life is. I truly believe you make it what you want it to be. For the last 10 years I have just been struggling to get by and live or find another place to live or healing my heart from heartbreaks of all kinds. I have a wonderful group of friends and they have been my biggest support just by being available to talk or have a drink anytime i needed. HA I didn't even think I was gonna get all sappy today, must be feeling super good!

Do you celebrate your birthday all month?

New Beginings...

4:45 this morning I woke up and ACTUALLY got out of bed with man hands and while he showered I made him lunch and some tea for sister and me. Once man hands was off to work (totally surprised I was up and made him lunch) sister and I did some yoga and hung out till it was time for me to shower and head off to work. It feels so good to be awake! I have one month till my 28th birthday and I want to lose a few more lbs (at the least) and be a morning person, so I am trying my hardest to change...My friend Robin said it takes 28 days to make a good habit and just a couple to break it.

Hear goes to 28 days of waking up early (not including weekend I'm not crazy...lol)

I hope something makes you smile and your eyes light up always

Loving life

As you know this weekend was our "we're Shacking up BBQ" and it was a big hit! Lots of love and fun. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

who wants cake?

So about 6 month or so ago Olivia wanted to plan a special party for her parents 30 year anniversary. They chose to renew their vows this year as a way of celebrating. Olivia knows I love to make cakes and all that is crafty, so I volunteered my skills and started working on the roses (they take a while) and as we all know my sister has been in pastry school and can bake a mean cake. So we teamed up and put in about 30 hours or so to make this very special Wedding cake.

Enjoy!

As a result Sister and I have decided we want to make cakes together in the future and who knows maybe it could become a full time thing...

blogging from my not-so-fancy cell phone...this could get dangerous.

so with man hands moving in soon had me freak out for just a small moment. i dont know why cause im not scared and cant wait to live our lives together. i am truly blessed to have him in my life. blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. my sister has been taking care of me since i sprained my ankle. helping me out around the house and keeping me company. telling me when i need to rest. i dont know what i would do with out her. she is awesome! love ya sis.

just been having a moment of looking back at my life. it was never easy and i dont want it to ever be easy. thats not as much fun.
