SpRinG BreAk

In our little neck of the woods.... it's SpRinG BreAk! Our ventures this year will be close to home.... a "stay"cation, as they say.

So after a number of votes and requests from our kids we finally narrowed the week down to some realistic, reasonable activities to do. We decided on activities for M, W, F, so that Dad can balance "play" time and "work" time.

Yesterday started our ventures. We found a great place in Provo called Lowe's Air Sports


Lots of jumping and running and fun. It was loads of fun and my kids did not want to leave!

As the evening rolled around we met up with family for some bowling and yummy pizza afterwords.
I must say, sometimes the simple, easy things really are just as fun as the big and extraordinary.... the best thing is spending the time together.

Here's to the rest of the week!

My Fuzzy Jar


This is my fuzzy jar and my new best friend. I have one for my girl-y Clare and one for my little guy Calvin and if you remember awhile back I referred to them as....
My Thing 1 and My Thing 2



They were up in the night for whatever reason. One would come up one night and the other one would come up the next night, like they were on a tag team or something. So that's were my new best friend comes in and my solution...the fuzzy jar.
So I made a deal with my so called Thing 1 and Thing 2, that if they stayed in their beds all night, then in the morning they could put a fuzzy ball in there jars and if they earned so many balls then they could get a toy. A little bribery never hurt anyone.....Right? It helps me sleep at night? :)
Well, they both agreed to my new fuzzy jar idea and even thought it was a pretty cool. It took a little adjusting, but it's worked and everyone is a little more happy because we are back to sleeping through the night. I love my sleep.

Friday Favorites...

Working out is a love/hate relationship. Getting motivated in the morning to get your workout clothes on and getting started is the first step. Choosing your workout, whether it be getting on the treadmill or putting a DVD in is the second. Once you get started, your set. The love part comes in once you've finished exercising, you know you've worked hard and you feel great! The very best part comes when you've been consistent and you see the results.

My new favorite workout is this Jillian Michaels 6 week six-pack. She kind of kicks your butt, but it will be worth it when swimsuit season hits. The key for me is consistency and not eating cake.
