Sprinkler Saturday

What do you do when it’s hot outside and you need to keep the troops entertained??? Go outside and play in the sprinkler!!! And Garen got out his fancy lenses to capture a few quick photos. I think they turned out pretty cool, don’t you?!?

Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner

I have mentioned in a few of my previous posts that I use the Full Focus Planner.  I happened upon this wonderful thing on one of the many podcasts that I listen to.  It’s been wonderful for me. Here’s what I like about it: It’s black and non-discrete.  There’s a lot of flashy journals outContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner”

Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road

I’m on the road a lot for work. Eating healthy on the road is hard. Extra hard when you love food and you use food as a way to keep you entertained and/or you have a 3-4 hour drive. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately to make it work: Pack my lunch and snacks when IContinueContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road”

Snacking Healthy: Salted Chocolate Coconut DeLight

My adventure on Noom and my new healthy lifestyle continues. (if I was saying this out loud I would’ve used air quotes around healthy lifestyle) And as I continue to Noom right along, I’m learning how to better use my very limited calories to the ensure I’m satisfied from not only a hunger standpoint butContinueContinue reading “Snacking Healthy: Salted Chocolate Coconut DeLight”

Photo Friday: Longhorn Love

Garen took these photos last week on this way through Hamilton from Marble Falls.  I’ll admit, I love longhorns.  To my fellow Aggies- sorry, not sorry.  They’re beautiful animals and I love these photos Garen caught….. Even if they are UT’s mascot.   Happy Photo Friday everyone! Photo credits to Garen Graves Photography.  Check out theContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Longhorn Love”

Wellness Wednesday: Still Nooming Along

Yes, folks, yesterday marked one solid week of tracking everything in Noom (see my last post about starting this adventure.)  I have to say, the first few days were pretty rough.  Imagine going from eating pretty much everything in sight to eating 1,200 calories a day.  Yup, that’s right.  1,200 calories a day.  Craziness. What’sContinueContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Still Nooming Along”

(Not So) Tall Tale Tuesday: Bringing Joy in the Midst of Sorrow

Today’s (Not So) Tall Tale Tuesday prompt: Write about a childhood memory that changed your perspective. I could probably write quite a few stories about childhood memories that changed my perspective but for now, I’m going to go back to a memory from a long, long time ago that I barely even remember. I amContinueContinue reading “(Not So) Tall Tale Tuesday: Bringing Joy in the Midst of Sorrow”

Mommy Review Monday: Batiste Dry Shampoo, Dark & Deep Brown

It took me a long time to break down and try dry shampoo, mostly because I always assumed it only worked for blondes. As I was getting my hospital bag ready for delivering the twins, one of the things I kept seeing on many new moms lists was dry shampoo. So I figured it wasContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Batiste Dry Shampoo, Dark & Deep Brown”

Photo Friday: Easter at the Blowin’ O

We celebrated Easter with the Odom side of the family on the Saturday before Easter.  The kids had a great time getting to play and explore the Blowin’ O, what we affectionately call Aunt Karen and Uncle Lee Roy’s place out by Aleman, TX, which is right outside of Hamilton.  It was Granny and Grandad’sContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Easter at the Blowin’ O”
