Water Balloon Flip Flops


The weekends have been very busy. I am spending as much time with the kids until they go off to sleep away camp. Check out the flip flops I made with my daughter last year. I need to make a new pair for this year. All you do is tie in a knot with the water balloons. It is easy just a bit time consuming and your fingers hurt like heck after. The end result is cool and it is worth it. I just made a pair for Patrica's daughter because she's done so much for my kids. I'm glad I can finally give back something creative to her.

Dance Recital/Weight Loss Program Results/Wish List Wednesday




So that is the $150 outfit. Enough complaining. My daughter just loves being on stage even if it is just a couple of minutes. She decided right after the show she is continuing dance. She did a great job and since the show was with older girls it wasn't half bad. It was quite enjoyable. I haven't had time to even check emails these days so sorry for not blogging. Things are slowing down now so I will have a little more time.

So far the Transitions Weight loss program is working and I've seen the fastest results ever. It's has been 17 days and I am already in certain pants I couldn't get into 2 weeks ago. I am still not able to measure until 30 days but I even see the results in the gym. My stomach is much flatter. I haven't really cheated and I don't feel deprived. There hasn't been any night I have gone to bed hungry. I know with weight watchers I was hungry all the time. Don't get me wrong I saw results from weight watchers but as soon as I was off it for a week it would take months to get the weight off again. I read a lot of labels now, things with low sugar, lots of fruits and veggies and protein. I also eat the bars and some meals that the diet offers. They are pretty good and very satisfying, there's a chocolate crunch bar and an oatmeal raisin bar. I will keep posting with my updates.

Wish List Wednesday-
1. Continuing my weight loss program with ease
2. Continue having these great results on this weight loss program
3. Little less stress for the husband at work

Dance Recital Weekend


Well I thought Willy Wonka was a pain. Wait till you hear this. 12 Sundays of extra rehearsal. 3 girls were out one Sunday during February Break because we all were on vacation as a family and they still had rehearsal. Since we complained the girls got taken out of their number for 32 seconds. The whole dance is 3 minutes. Other girls missed classes but they were not pulled out. So now my whole Mother's Day is revolved around a 2 1/2 hour show and my kid is on stage of 2 and a half minutes!!!! My Saturday night is going to be exciteing. I have to come 1 hour before the show and help out behind stage. At least I saved 20 bucks for the ticket. Of course the whole family has to come tomorrow and we can't ask them to pay for the tickets. The little sequenced sleeveless romper cost $150. It is scratching my girls arm to a pulp. Last night at the dress rehearsal she ripped her stockings from the lovely dress. The dance studio is closed today due to the recital so I had to drive around for 45 minutes to find these darn stocking. Enough rambling and complaining I sure tonight and tomorrow I will be in a better mood when I see my little darling up on stage. What we do for our kids!!!

Business is Booming/Crazy Day

I got my third business partner officially today and our team is on a roll. We are growing and every day I find a new product that I love. Welcome to Sharyn and Sharon for joining our awesome team!!!

Today was a bit crazy. I left the house at 9 for spinning, then came home to shower, got nails done, picked up 3 girls from school, drove them to my house, picked the boy from school, came home to pick girls up and have the boy eat and get into baseball uniform, drove girls to dance, came back home for baseball glove, went to bike shop to look for new bike, picked up donuts for the gang, picked up girls from dance, drove the boy to the baseball field, dropped girls at a friend's house drove back to baseball field to watch and just got home by 7:40 and had to prepare and eat dinner.

I am just exhausted even writing it down.
