Tuesday Tunes: Getting amped!!

I can't believe 2013 is over and we will be heading out this evening to ring in the new year! Since 2014 will show it's face to me about 7 hours before most of you....well I promise not to reveal all of it's secrets! While you are kissing your sweethearts at the drop of the ball in NYC, we'll be standing up to make that greasy egg breakfast over a camp fire! ;-)
Tonight will be one of the extremely rare times that I get to go out without my children. I'm kind of heart torn about this! Saturday night Hubby surprised me by saying yes to my request to head out with some girls for a couple of hours! I was super excited and nervous! This was the first time in almost 2 years that I had a girls evening! It was amazing and so relaxing!
Tonight, Ouma and Oupa will brave the fires and take both boys for the whole night. Luckily they're all at our house which should help with calming them down for bed! I'm really looking forward to a night just with Hubby and friends but I know I won't be able to wait to get back to my babies in the morning!

So Happy New Year to you all! I hope you make the best of the new start and new beginnings!
This was Hubby and I's song back in the day when we first got married....we'd blare it out the car every weekend when heading out!



And if you ask me what my New Years Resolution is....I will ignore you....possibly even delete you! ;-)

Guest post by Julie: Healthy Eating Tips for Christmas

4 Healthy Holiday Hacks – A Post from Julie Roberts

Eating healthy is not usually on our to-do list during the holiday season, but one too many slices of that favorite pie and we can wake up on New Year’s Day not feeling, or looking, our best. With planning and helpful nutritional information, there are easy ways to eat healthy while still enjoying the traditional favorites. Below I’ve rounded up four of my favorites:

What You Missed W51

Here we are peeps! Only a week and a half left in December and in 2013! I really can’t believe so much time has passed! This past week has been a whirl wind of emotions for me.

I was so grateful to have Ma visiting us for a few extra days after LJ’s party! It was nice to have her in the house...however! My idea was that Ma was supposed to be resting! Ma had a knee surgery the week before and was not supposed to be up and walking so much! Do you think this happened?!? NO! She was soaking up every second with the boys. Which I can totally understand, but....defeated the purpose of rest! Also, it totally makes me feel guilty when I see her doing stuff in my house! Partly because I don’t want her to feel she has to and partly because I’m thankful because in reality....I’m exhausted and lazy after work! :-/ So there is the honesty! I absolutely love having Ma here....but she needs to learn to kick back a little!

Once Upon a Time Birthday Party

Ok!! So I'm finally getting to the birthday recap peeps! It was truly an awesome birthday and I think everyone enjoyed it so much! The weather turned out perfect and LJ definitely was a show off for the day!

Another week Another TWITTER hop!

Hey peeps! I think I told you about the ad space bundle I won last month! I am super excited about this and have enjoyed the extra exposure so much!

Tuesday Tunes: Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Growing up this was my favorite Christmas song! My dad and I used to dance around the living room belting out the lyrics as we decorated the tree! Makes me miss home!

My Dearest LJ,

I can't believe that a year has passed already. Last night as I held you in my arms, I could just see that very first moment I held you! It all happened so quick and before we knew it you were born!

Saturday Funny: Lil Mister is Witty

This child is always amazing me and cracks me up on a daily basis. But the best this past week was Monday morning:

I was holding Lil Mister and put him down because frack....he's heavy! He starts moaning that he wants picked back up. I try to show him the marks his pants had left on my arm and say that Mommy has a boo boo from Lil Mister being so heavy.
He grabs my wrist and examines my arm very closely, squinting his eyes to get the best look. He then lets go quickly and says in a very matter of fact tone that Mommy does not have boo boo...Mommy has polka dots!
He missed the marks all together and saw my freckles. He then excitedly exclaims that Papa also has polka dots!

Yes, my son....polka dots!

So thoughtful....

Tuesday Tunes: Prayer Warriors

Sunday, Hubby and I got into a big discussion about prayer and it's impact on our lives. We both agreed that we can see a huge and substantial difference in our lives, marriage, and home when we are and aren't praying! We agreed that although we've both always been making an effort to continually pray...we want to pray together out loud more often. We want to spend more time being prayer warriors!
