Get Fit

I've been on a health kick lately. I signed up for MyFitnessPal as recommended by my friend, Becca. I call it my free fitness motivator. It counts calories, records exercise, & records waist, neck, and hip measurements. I love it. I've lost 10 lb. so far. My favorite part is all the success stories that I read about. Surely if this guy here can lose nearly 300 lb. then I can lose my 30 lb! This woman here lost 100 lb. in 9 1/2 months. The people on here are just normal people like me who put their mind to something and accomplish it.


I've tried, but not very hard or diligently, to lose weight before. I've wanted to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight for a long time. I'm going to do it this time around. Just watch me!!

It's Time To Start Thinking About Christmas Cards Again!


The Christmas season is my favorite time of year. Let’s be honest, I start listening to Christmas music before Halloween. I’ve even been singing Beckett Christmas songs so that when we sing them at church or hear them on the radio he knows them and can be excited about them. 

One part of Christmas that is always so fun for me is checking the mail to see if there are any Christmas cards. I just love it. I love sending them out. Last year I sent them out the day after Thanksgiving. It’s only natural that I start looking at Christmas card options early so I can be ready to send them out right away. As the holidays get closer time becomes much tighter. The earlier you get this done the better!

My favorite ones from Shutterfly this year are:

 I love the whimsy font and snowflake. I think a black and white photo adds a nice classic touch.

I love having two different fonts and the bright green coloring on this one. This one is my favorite and the one I'll be using this year!

I love the font. Sensing a pattern?

Want to find your favorites? Look here, here, and here.

Merry Christmas! As one of my friends said regarding Thanksgiving and Christmas, "Christmas is the biggest reason to be THANKFUL so the two can be friends!". Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
