it's the little things

We had a great time yesterday at Jake's birthday party.  The cake is gone (thank goodness, no temptations), presents were opened and family was enjoyed.  It is back to work today and then preparing for the next big birthday (all the boys were born in Jan, 10 days apart, 9th, 19th and 29th)  If that isn't good planning, I don't know what is....)

I couldn't find any candles except for the "1" from Madelyn's 1st birthday, so we made due with it.  It doesn't look like Jake minded!!

We woke up to a little snow today.  It's pretty and I don't mind it, but I'll be glad for spring to get here!

It is still snowing, we are expecting 3-5 inches today and overnight tonight.  So, Brian and I went out today to run a few last minute errands.  I was wishing the fireplace was working.

I got up first thing, made my to-do list (Chalene Johnson's 30 day challenge) and then did my Turbo Fire workout.  I've decided that I'll workout first thing in the mornings so that I know it gets done.  I've been too slack about making my fitness a priority!

I told Brian I wish I had a steamer to make my chai's and that I could make him some latte's, so this little jewel has come into our lives.  I'm getting ready to break it in.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I'm not a coffee drinker, so I don't know how much use  it will get.  Probably more than I think :)

It's the little things in life that make me happy!

Think you have no time?

One of the resons I hear for not being able to workout is no time.  I think that if you are comitted to working out, you will find the time, but I understand how life gets in the way.  I had this happen yesterday.  I had so much office work I HAD to get done, that I didn't workout first thing in the morning like I usually do.  So it was 4:00 PM and I still hadn't worked out.  I was seriously trying to come up with reasons not to.  I didn't feel like it, I was tired, I had been working all day long.  I hadn't done my blog post, the list goes on and on.  But, I made myself get up and get it done.  I did do a shorter workout, but I got it done.  So, it has to become a priority!  I really do think that if you get it done first thing in the morning, there is less chance of something preventing it from happening later.

My friend, Lee is a great example of finding the time.  A mom of 4!!!  Talk about busy, plus she is a very successful Beachbody coach.  She is getting things done!  I got to spend some time with her in San Diego and she is just a doll!!!
