A New Year

Happy New Year!  2015 is here and I'm actually pretty excited about it {I'm an odd numbered girl myself}  It's also the 10th anniversary year of a few of my favorite things...Skip coming home from Iraq, graduating college, and our wedding!  So it will a year of celebrations for us. 

Skip had to leave for work a little before 6:00 am this morning, so we hosted a party for some of our very best friends last night.  We got a little more dressed up than we normally we do when we hang out.  We ate tons of pizza, laughed, talked, and made the boys watch Pitbull down in Miami.

At midnight we cracked open some English crackers, and woke up Emmy to come celebrate with us.  It was the perfect way to help bring in this New Year!



Blurry, but I love this candid Skip took of my friend and I!





Before our friends got there, Skip and I discussed resolutions.  I make them almost every year, and do try to stick to them as much as possible.  Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I don't.  But they are almost the same things...eat better, workout more, save more money, declutter, etc.  And while those things are good, I wanted to be more specific this year.  So this time, I'm only making three resolutions:
{one} Run a half-marathon...should happen in the fall

{two} Inspired by Melissa, I want to run 1,000 miles this year

{three} Get my book published.  Sure, I could go through the process and no one will actually pick it up, but I am going to do everything I can to find an agent and make it happen!

Hopefully I'll be a little more successful with more specific goals!

How was your New Year's Eve?  Are you making any resolutions?  Share them below!

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?

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 ...

What to wear in September

Image
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Jersey the weather gets a little strange here once the calender switches to September.  It's still really warm during the day {70's and 80's} but it drops down to the 60's, 50's and sometimes even 40's at night.  And since it's post labor day, it's not exactly appropriate to be rocking all my summer favorites.  So this often poses a real challenge when it comes to clothes. The past few years, since I'm a SAHM, I have just lived in yoga pants, a tank top, and a zippie {a zip-up hooded sweatshirt} most of the time.  But since I have to take Emmy to school now, I don't want to be that frumpy mom standing in the pick-up and drop-off area.  Here are some of the outfits I've been throwing together.  I've been working hard on finding things that I can easily add or take away clothes as the temperature changes, instead of changing my outfit 109834598 times a day. {Sorry for the...
