Friday Confessional

I confess....

Last night when I got home I read my book for 2 and a half hours, went right off to sleep, and never set my alarm clock which resulted in both kids being late for school.

I confess.....

I was so excited when I got my email from H&M about their new website only to be extremely disappointed that you still can not order online in the US! Why is this?

I confess.....

I scored a coupon today for a FREE SPRAY TAN! I am quite nervous about this as I have never had it done before. I quit going to the tanning bed years ago and my legs could really use some color.

I confess.....

that I have a TON of clean laundry to fold, hang, and put away. All our clothes are in laundry baskets which made it very difficult to find something to wear this morning while we were rushing around late!

I confess.....

that this is my first time doing Friday Confessional!

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama (link to: http://bit.ly/tmwishlist) and GameStop (link to:http://bit.ly/gamestop10) are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

1. What is your holiday wish for your family? Happiness and good health.

2. What is your Christmas morning tradition? Opening presents with my kids and parents.

3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be? A Mac Book or a new washer and dryer.

4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money? We love to decorate our home, listen to Christmas music, drink hot cocoa, and make cookies.

5. What games did you play with your family growing up? Scrabble, Monopoly, Hotels

6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood? Just the whole traditional Christmas experience. Leaving cookies for Santa, opening up stockings first in the morning, being thankful for all we have.

7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip? Would love anywhere tropical or filled with snow, but it wouldn't really be special unless we were surrounded by all our loved ones.

8. Check out GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?

1. Definitely the Kinect

2. Zumba Fitness for the Wii

3. Little Big Planet 2 for Playstation

Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap

A while ago I participated in Mamarazzi’s Favorite Things Blog Swap. My partner was Joy at When Does Daddy Come Home. She sent me some really wonderful items. She sent me a big PINK calculator (love it), a cute journal, a water bottle (use all the time), Twilight lotion (FAV), cute socks, purple nail polish, handmade earrings and a necklace, a candle, tealight holder, gum and hot tea. Missing from the picture are thank you notes that she sent that have already been used. We actually sent each other some of the same things! Thanks Joy for being my partner!

How times flies!

WOW - Cannot believe how long it has been since I updated - YIKES! I have been so busy lately with work, family, exercising, and just living. I have lots to update about and still very much need to do my post from the Mamarazzi's Favorite Thing Blog Swap. I plan to start blogging again regularly.

The hubby and I started The 30 Day Shred; let me tell you it is a serious workout. It only takes 20 minutes but you will be dying by the end of it - especially if you are out of shape like me. We have made it through Day 2 and I can hardly walk! I will be continuing on my mission along with our walking we have been doing. We have this beautiful lake to walk around. We go around twice which makes 2 miles. They have an open field area away from the people where our dog can just go run around - which he loves. Ever since we started taking him for walks, he has started thinking that he gets to go everywhere we do. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will be updating soon about the progress on our tree house.
