In pursuit of the perfect car ride

As the kids’ arm spans grow, so does our desire to get a new car.
Right now, we have 2 cars: a Hyundai Santa Fe (which I we use to cart the kids around and has become their mobile sparring ring) and a Hyundai Elantra (which Dave uses for work and when one of us [...]

Thursday Thirteen

Dave and I are still trying to plan a vacation for sometime next year. We were originally thinking about Hawaii…but I don’t think that’s going to happen. We’ve decided to take another cruise and are just trying to hammer out a date. I’m getting pretty anxious because, well, I wanna be on [...]

LW 08 – Week 10

I am up one pound this week, which I am totally cool with. Considering the mass quantities of food on Thanksgiving, being sick, and Jake being sick, I think I did pretty well. I’ve been on the treadmill a lot more in the past week than I have been in a while. [...]

I have my shopping list almost all done, except for Emma. I just don’t have her figured out [...]

Thursday Thirteen

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Today’s list is terribly unoriginal and I have a feeling that it will be one you see a lot today! Here are 13 foods that will be on our Thanksgiving table. Evidently, if you like stuffing or dressing, my house is the place to be!

Turkey

Stuffing

Stove Top Dressing (not to be confused with [...]

LW 08 – Week 9

First things first. Can I just say how excited I am that weigh-in is the day BEFORE Thanksgiving? Not that I’m going to blow it, but still. That’s some great planning.
I did pretty well this week. I’m down a pound, which I’m very happy with considering everyone has been sick. But the Whooping Cough never [...]
