that's right! 30 days of flippin fitness!


Well then! Let me tell you! I am SO stinking motivated to loose weight and eat better! It really helps to have motivation and someone to keep you accountable to those goals. I saw this 30 flippin' Days of Fitness on ThoseCorwins and made my own! But... not only am I keeping track of fitness, I have also, for the last two days, been tracking every bite I take and drink I sip through out the whole day. It REALLY helps, just simply doing that, becuase you're accountable to yourself, and I'm REALLY good at guilting myself into doing the right thing, so counting my calories really motivates me!
I'm going to keep you all updated, it won't be daily, I have a life...
but it will be more like weekly. So I hope this motivates you all! :)
Take Care!

Let me update you!

Our lives are so blessed! And thankfully I've photo documented a lot of it on my phone... uploading them on here is the part I rarley take time to do. So enjoy these many photos of our lives here in the last week or two. God is good.


Every so often I babysit for a handful of Kids at our friend Darryn and Katie's church in Clovis. Mike and I decided that whenever I chose to babysit, that the money I made, could go to buying paper goods for my new hobbie, scrapbooking. It's a good enough chunk of change to go and buy lovely things at Pocketfull of Treasures in clovis. Let me show you my most recent buys! I'm very excited about them all! And once I finish our wedding scrapbook I will try and get it on my blog!
Enjoy:
i love these swirly adorable stickers!
if you know me, you know I adore nature, God's creation causes such wonder and thankfulness in me, and I love birds, fresh produce, and leaves... you'll see a theme here :)

got this " Home sweet Home" paper, it's going to be filled with photos of Mike and I, it will be at the end of the album, and I'll write how I feel home when I'm in his arms. :)


birds... leaves.... AH I love it!



i think this is a peach tree paper.... no matter, i adore it.










i loved this paper the minute i saw it, and it's practically the same pattern as our couch cover! same colors too! :)














And some photos of life:
