Sunday Favorites

I've decided to start a new tradition here on Mommy Musings.  I want to start something called Sunday Favorites.  Every Sunday I will post about a different favorite of mine {flowers, meals to make, shops, etc.} and why.  Feel free to join in!  I would love to create a button for this but I honestly have no idea how! {anyone want to help?}  Okay, here we go!

Today's Sunday Favorite is flowers.  My favorite flower is the tulip.

I had always thought they were beautiful.  I love how simple they are, and how different they look whether open or closed.  My love for them was sealed though when I was a senior in college.  Skip and I were engaged and he was deployed to Iraq.  My mom found a bookmark for me with a tulip pin attached.  On the bookmark was a poem about a woman waiting for her betrothed in a field of tulips {it would be perfect if I could FIND the poem, but I have no idea where the bookmark is now and hours of searching the internet turned up nothing}  But it was perfect for the current scenario I was in.  Tulips have been my absolute favorite flower ever since.

What is your favorite flower and why?

The Movers Concert!

Image
Sooo, I totally didn't mean to take this mini blogging break.  But life has just been crazy busy and on the go the past few days that there was no time!  It was nice though to just step away from pretty much all social media and just LIVE.  This weekend was good for my soul and I will be doing a few catch-up posts to fill you all in! The fun began on Thursday afternoon.  Way back in October, Skip and I heard that that Imagination Movers were doing a concert nearby.  You know, these guys from the Disney Channel... They once aired a concert of theirs on the Disney Channel and Little M is OBSESSED.  We have it saved on the DVR, and she wants to watch it at least 3 times a week.  So when we heard about the tickets in October, we were really tempted.  But we didn't know if she would still be interested in them, and with our trip to Disney, we were saving all the money we could. Well fast forward to two weeks ago.  Little M was asking to watch the ...

30 Miles in 30 Days

Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

Busy, Busy, Busy

Okay, so I know that I really should be posting a "Wordless Wednesday" post filled with all the pictures from our beach vacation last week, but I completely neglected to upload them onto my computer. Oh, and we came down the shore again yesterday until Saturday, so there will be even *more* pictures I need to upload! I promise I will catch up eventually, it's just that this summer has just been so darn busy!! Little M is moving all over the place now! No real crawling yet but it's coming any day now. She does manage to move herself around though! Oh and we think we've figured out what her first word is probably going to be. Of course my daughter has to be different and it isn't going to be anything traditional like 'Mama' or 'Dada'. It's going to be 'Braddock'. That is the name of our bulldog Mr. B. All day M keeps saying 'Braa, Braa' so it's only a matter of time before 'Braddock' comes out, haha. We a...
