V-Day Baking Goodness

As promised here are the cookies and cupcakes that I made for Mack's preschool V-Day party. Sugar cookie hearts and cupcakes. I slaved in the kitchen for 4 hours straight with leg cramps and unable to enjoy any of them. It was a hard task. 

Mack's Valentines

I ventured back to Valentine's Day for me in elementary. I was making up these little valentine's for Mack's preschool party. They were a lot of fun. Stay tuned for cookies, cup cakes, and home made chicken enchiladas. 

What did you make for your kid's valentine's day party?

V-Day Love

Thanks for accepting me for who I am,

Loving me no matter what,

and sharing your life with mine.

I love you! 

Let me be real with you

I read this post by Jamie @ Walkin' in high cotton. She was wrote on her blog "is being postitive just really being fake?" This has got me thinking. There are some negative things that happen in my life that I choose not share on the ol blog. Why? What I'm a afraid of. Being judged. When I know for sure that everyone else has their issues and problems as much as I do. That's right. We all do. 

I'm going to be real with you.

I'm 24 years old. 

I'm a mother to a 2 1/2 year old.

I'm lazy just like any other person. 

I'm a sleeper, and the hubs has to get up every night, to check on Mack or tuck her in. 

I work 50-60 hour weeks at a desk in a office. 

I'm stubborn and hate being wrong. Like "hate it"!

in that case, I'm alway's right

I'm a energy drink junky

I have such a great job, that my college degree is on hold.

My family is near from perfect. 

I have a pile of project's that I want to get done and I haven't

I leave dishes in the sink dirty

I struggle with anxiety

I'm a procrastinator

I can be a bitch, so says the hubs

I worry about our debt and financial decisions. 

I have to have the newest and latest, just ask the hubs

I'm hard to love I'm sure

I'm independent

I volunteer my time in the community a lot

I over commit to things

I hardly ever cry

I can listen to songs over and over and not get bored of them

I'm no where near being perfect

I buy things for Mack before I buy anything for myself

Now you know some truth behind the blogger that writes here. 

Wordless Thursday - Cousins Meet for first time

Mack and Jade play in the snow

Meet for the first time, and become great playmates

and share their first Christmas together.

After completing 2 weeks of the cleanse. It's time to get that exercise in. Back to the gym I go. I'm excited that I can get back to the gym. When you start any kind of system, diet, cleanse, calorie counting it's easier to get your self on track with it first, stick to it and then add in the exercise. Then you are less likely to fail if you do it all at once. I was going to the gym daily before the cleanse, but stopped to get my body used to the new cleanse, supplements and overall life change. 

Today, it's time to head back to the gym. 

Goal: Gym 5 times a week 45 minutes minimum. (on my lunch)

         Yoga - once a week

Be sure to follow me on McFatty Monday's on my journey and feel free to join me if you are interested. Motivation and motivating each other is another key to success. I need all of your support and I'm willing to give you the support back.
