Well summer is right around the corner and I’m soooo happy ’bout it!! I am more than ready to soak up the sun, play with the kiddos, enjoy a more lax schedule, not have to worry about homework, reading, projects, etc. and just enjoy a nice break! However, I’m thinkin’ probably about mid July I’ll be ready for school to start again. Ha ha. I’ve learned that June is the bomb. Everyone is so happy it’s summer and the kids are in such good moods and don’t want to kill each other….yet. I also love June because it’s usually not Continue Reading…
Family Pictures with Jen Hanni Photography
Well hey friends! I hope you are all doing well on this fine Tuesday evening. I’m still goin’ strong with my Oxygen Magazine Challenge and I’m loving it. I haven’t been 100% perfect at it, but just being “in the challenge” is keeping me motivated and consistent, which is awesome. I’m loving the workouts and I’m just trying to be more mindful with what I’m eating and how much I’m eating. This first month has been a little bit more low carb, so I’ve just been trying to be aware of that as well. It’s been great and I’m just Continue Reading…

Positive Thoughts and Preparation for Success!
Well folks, my Oxygen Challenge officially started yesterday! I, however, decided to start a little early. We were able to submit our “before” pictures last Thursday (May 2nd), so I decided once those pictures we’re submitted, I was startin’! I gotta say that my “before” pic was NOT pretty, folks! Man. Slice of humble pie, for real. “Before” pictures can be such a huge motivator and wake up call though. Every single time I’ve ever taken one I’ve always been surprised…and not in a good way. Ha. I think when we look at ourselves in the mirror every single day, Continue Reading…
I’m Starting the Oxygen Magazine Challenge #OC5
Well hey, my friends! I hope you all had a beautiful Easter last Sunday! Ya know, I always like to snap a pic of my kiddos with (or in the vicinity) of their Easter baskets every year…. It is amazing to me to see just how dang big they are getting!!! Sigh. What in the world? Folks, my mind is just seriously blown with how quickly time is flyin’, how fast these kids are growin’ and how OLD I AM GETTING! It kills me. Auuughhh. One of these days, I should scrounge up all of the Easter pics over all Continue Reading…
Spring Break + Finding a Livable Healthy Lifestyle!
Happy Easter weekend! I love Easter, I love spring, I love this time of year! In the spirit of Easter, I loved this beautiful short video put out by my church. <3 Such a touching and profound, yet simple message. I’m so grateful for my faith in Christ and the miracle of His Resurrection and atonement. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter tomorrow! ***************************** This past week has been Spring Break for my kiddos and it’s been a really nice week. We decided not to go on vacation, but stayed home instead. It was actually wonderful! We spent Continue Reading…
