Hello party people!! Happy mid January!! I hope y'all are staying warm and enjoying life back to normal. We sure are. January is always great for us to get back to life, but it is still a busy month every year. For some reason, Shane and I always have traveling to do the first few months for work and we are entering Claire's dance competition season.
We have been taking it easy this month when we can and it has been great! I got a couple comfy blankets for Christmas and I literally look forward to getting home every night, getting everyone fed, bathed, kissed and tucked in for the night so I can get my blanket, the puppy, my ipad, and a cup of decaf to relax :). Per y'all's recommendations, I just finished Candace Cameron Bure's book, Reshaping it All and it was FANTASTIC!! I am also doing the Made to Crave 60 day devotional and I highly recommend it as well! I am back on track on my diet and feel great. I have already planned our Easter outfits and my dress in hanging in my closet, a full size smaller...praying hard I get there :)...
So, besides work, school, church, dance classes, a new puppy, and corralling three kids, we have been quiet :). I am participating in the January Photo a Day Challenge on Instagram, so I do have pictures. Here is the challenge, my pictures and a few other instagram pics thrown in there :) :
Day 1 - You
Day 2 - Breakfast
I tried the trick with the wooden spoon on the boiling pot of water to keep it from boiling over (per pinterest) and it worked for me!
Ruby hanging out one night way too late :)
Day 3 - Something you adore - my early Birthday present from Shane - a new Michael Kors watch!! (FYI - birthday is 19 days away :))
Day 4 - Letterbox - This is a picture of my busted mirror from me hitting a mail box...errr letterbox :)

Day 7 - Favorite - my most favorite little boy in the world!
Day 8 - Your Sky - it was a gloomy day Sunday, so after church, Shane had to work, Claire had rehearsal, so me and the littles cuddled and watched movies and this was my sky view :)
