S Club Mama

A college friend had this up and I haven't written anything much past book reviews and doctor appointment stuff lately so I thought this would be brain candy for me. 1. What we're eating this week... I am needing to review a cookbook so this weekend I'm trying out cheater crepes made with tortillas. Yum! Tonight I'm making my boys' favorite meal - ham sammies! 2. What I'm reminiscing about... When days weren't so full or when I wasn't so needing quiet to recharge. When did I become so hermit-ish? 3. What I'm loving... I love this weather. So warm. And I love that I found TWO pairs of comfy maternity pants!! Yay! 4. What we've been up to.  Doctor appointments. One with a PT (Moose has functional scoliosis, no biggie it sounds like) and an MRI. Next week: follow ups. We've also been trying to get outside to the park more. 5. What I'm dreading... This month with something almost every day planned. I have tried to cance...

When I read this runner's survey on Run with Jess , I wanted to participate and I'd love for you to fill it out yourself... so I can learn more about you too! What is your favorite type of cross training?   Jillian Michaels DVDs. I'd love to try spinning or a kickboxing class, but our town doesn't seem to have those options. So I'll stick with Jillian (at least I will when my wrist stops hurting. I think I minorly sprained it doing a back bend while watching Biggest Loser - thanks a lot Hannah! And Jillian does everything in plank so it'd be hard to do without your wrist feeling well). What is your favorite song to run to?   I love me some Pink!! What brand of shoes do you wear?   I wear Nikes but I'd love to try Asics, Saucony, Brooks...or Vibrams Do you wear a hat when you run?   No. I don't even own a hat. Well, ok I own one but I don't ever wear it. I wish I had more hats. I wouldn't wear them to run - too hot and sweaty. I l...

ABCs of Me  This weekend is crazy! Movie party Friday night, book party Saturday (don't forget to order online by Sunday at midnight CST if you want), church Sunday. I have been sick and just exhausted lately, so I'm hoping for some sleeping in, too. But to get you through the lull of the weekend (ha), I thought I'd leave you with some random tid-bits about myself. (A) Age: I will be 25 in just under a month (yes, I know I'm young) (B) Bed Size: King. Big A & I decided during my 2nd pregnancy that we couldn't deal with a queen anymore (especially a hand-me-down queen) so we upgraded. However, I cuddle so much, we may as well have a twin. (C) Chore You Hate: Dishes and laundry. I hate things that are never ending. (D) Dogs? I wish. We can't have pets in our rental. And I don't want a dog in town; I think it's cruel. I definitely don't want a dog in my house - gross. (E) Essential Start Your Day Item: I am with TMB; I'm starving when I wake up...

Apparently, I'm stealing a lot from Stacey's blog lately (if you haven't checked out my vlog or hers , do so). She tagged me in a little thing so here it goes... Rule #1: the tagged person must write their answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Rule #2: tag 4 people to do this quiz; they cannot refuse (ok, so nothing bad will happen if you don’t participate but I would love to see your answers). The tag-ee must state who tagged them. 1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals or are they members of your family? We can't have pets, although some day I'd like a dog or a cat (although Big A dislikes cats). BUT they will be animals, not family members. 2. If you could have a dream come true, what would it be? That I would be able to raise up my kids to be passionate followers of Christ (stealing that from Stacey!) - otherwise, materialistically have a comfy house with a ...

I love memes. No matter if I'm "tagged" or not. I took this one from my friend, LJ. 10 Things I Wish I Could Say To Ten Different People Right Now (in no specific order) 10. I love that when I talk to you on the phone, it's never awkward like it is with other people. Even when we hang up (which I think is a conversation's most awkward part), it's just natural. 9. I wish you would stop acting so young...even though you are young. 8. I am sorry I didn't stay in touch better. 7. Stop!! 6. I love you more than I realize. I'm so sorry at the way I act toward you sometimes. 5. Would you just stop being prideful and open your heart to God? He could do so much for you! 4. I hope you don't regret your priorities in the years to come when you have an empty nest. It's going to be harder than you realize to have a relationship with us. 3. Thank you for being exactly what I need. 2. Do you realize what you did to me? Do you even care? 1. In your position of...

Here's a great meme that I found over at Michelle's Flying Giggles & Lollipops (she also happens to be one of my favorite bloggers, so go over and tell her to have a great weekend)! If you want to join in, stop by Friday Fill Ins ! 1. There are places I probably won't ever make it to - and that's alright . 2. God can blow those clouds away. 3. Standing in the kitchen is really really cold right now . 4. Mama needs a snow day; oh boy. 5. He went out tiger hunting by the light of the blue moon . 6. Abba while I pray please forgive me as I try to keep my mind from wandering . 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to bed I guess , tomorrow my plans include taking my son to the indoor mall to play on their little play area and maybe some mommy time (because I'm going insane being cooped up without a break for so long) and Sunday, I want to go to the movies with my husband but we'll go to church, eat lunch, take a nap, workou...

I wasn't tagged at this but I saw it at J. Leigh Designz (wonderful blog BTW) and I love memes a lot. 1.) Have you started your Christmas shopping? Of course! I'm almost done, actually. I started on Black Friday. my closet is busting at its seams 2.) Tell me about one of your special traditions. We take the kids to see Santa. We get together with one of our families on Christmas Day to open gifts (this year it's the in-laws). We bake up a storm and take them to neighbors. We drive around to look at lights. We go to church, of course. I also like to get a new ornament for our tree (that we will someday have as they won't fit on our little tree we have now) to represent something about our family each year. So far we have a few from 2006 when we got married, Baby's first Christmas from 2007 for Moose, and I guess we skipped 2008 and now Baby's first Christmas from 2009 for Squirt. I really want to do the new jammies thing on Christmas Eve. I also want to read ...
