Thigh Workout-Firm, Tighten, Tone!

With exercise, eating healthier, and the It Works line (skinny wraps) you can firm, tighten, and tone your thighs.  

A problem area for many women, your thighs can look better than ever!

1. Do 50 legs raises the four different ways at least 3 days per week.

    a. Lay on your side, head resting on hand with elbow holding you up, gently raise your right leg, slowly, not too high.

    b. Lay your head down and do the same for your inner thigh.

    c. Repeat both ways with your left leg/thigh.

2. Jog, walk, or run at least 3 days per week.  Just do something!  It's easy to walk, mildly hard to jog, and harder to run.  Get off the couch and do it!

3. Eat healthier!  Replace those fries or chips with a yogurt or peach.  Replace the bread basket or cheeseburger buns with a salad or lettuce.

4. Use skinny wraps on your thighs!  https://jenniebrown.myitworks.com

Sick Kids=The Worst

I hate being sick, but I hate one thing more: My kids and husband being sick!

This week in my household:
1. Child G (5-years-old) had strep throat diagnosed Wednesday.
2. Child M (6-years-old) stubbed his toe and inevitably his big nail was hanging by a thread.
3. Child B (2.5-years-old) was diagnosed with strep throat and a double ear infection on Friday.
4. Child L (7-months-old) was diagnosed with strep throat and a single ear infection on Friday.
5. The husband had a migraine (not your typical migraine) all day Saturday, Sunday, and today.  He vomits violently and wants to die.  It's that bad, he also cries :(
6. Again with Child B (2.5-years-old) started vomiting with his horrible cough Sunday and today.

My throat's hurt all day, but I don't get added to the list because I'm the mom.

So, how was your weekend?

Romantic Beaches in Florida to Vacation

I love Florida, people always ask, "Why?", which actually surprises me.  Yes, it's humid.  Yes, there are old people.  No different than Missouri, where I currently live.  Having visited Florida around 18 times in my life thusfar, I have a pretty good idea of where to go for certain activities and what Florida has to offer.

Romantic Areas/Beaches
1. Siesta Key, FL
    a. Located on the gulf side
    b. Beautiful white cool sandy beaches with warmer water
    c. Good dining
    d. Best beach in Florida no matter why you're visiting
    e. More affordable hotels

2. Key West, FL
    a. So much to do in Key West
    b. The drive is beautiful, but prone to gridlock
    c. Quaint spots to walk, hand in hand, for a nightly stroll or shopping
    d. Fine dining opportunites
    e. More expensive hotels

3. Sanibel Key, FL
    a. 15 miles of beaches
    b. Great for shell collecting
    c. Same gulf beaches as Siesta Key
    d. Tons of dining options
    e. Beautiful Lighthouse


Here's to Florida!  I hope I live there one day.

Ebay. What it is and what it is not.

Ebay.

What it is.
Good to buy things cheaply, good to buy "cheap" things, easy to use, you can find about anything on there, you find things you're not looking for on there.

Example: I searched "diapers" and one result was a picture with a woman only wearing a diaper.  Ew.

What it is not.
Good for making money (typically)-from the fees to the cheap people to the lying sellers/buyers-it's not so great.
In favor of the seller.  I've been on both ends and the buyer's end always wins.
Going to change.

Bowling!!!

So my husband have only been bowling 1 time in our 6 year marriage.  Is that sad?  Seems sad to me.  I think that bowling as a family activity is dying.  That also saddens me.  I don't know why.  Anyway, Garrett and I took our 2 oldest boys bowling tonight at a family friendly, Christian-owned alley called Lighthouse Lanes.  They have glow in the dark bowling!  I mean, too cool!

The boys had fun, as did we!  It's definitely going to be an activity we try to do more :)

Wear those kids out!

I love love love being a SAHM.  It is hard some days, especially when the kiddos are so hyper!!

Here's what I suggest: WEAR THEM OUT!

Here's how you do it: go to the park early like 9 or before, stay 1 1/2-2 hours, eat lunch around 11:30, then they will be chill to watch a movie or actually nap from 12:30-3PM.  Trust me, I do this daily :)
