Another reason I need to continue to lose...
I’m about 15 pounds away from being able to look alright in a bikini…however, I leave for Maui…Saturday. I picked up another bathing suit and paid $19.99 for a tankini top when bikini tops were only $17.99…That $2 could have gone towards some other piece of clothing my friends.
Things I've learned from my trip to Seattle...Days...
- Snow is pretty…and the powder snow is the best for throwing snowballs.
- Throwing powdered snowballs off the Space Needle isn’t going to kill anyone…just start a snowball fight.
- The EMP museum was designed by a group of people on a drug trip…just look at the outside of the building.
- Pike’s Place has to be one of my most favorite locations in the Western...
Things I've learned on my trip to Seattle...Day 1
- Depleted caffeine levels lead to me being very giggly, slightly crazy and as my dad terms it “punchy”
- 37 degrees feels a lot warmer than I thought…however, after standing in said weather for more than 5 minutes I started to feel it.
- Sharing a narrow, cramped, hotel room with my family leads to 3 hours of productive sleep followed by 3 hours of throwing pillows over my...

That cliche beginning of the new year post...
Dear 2011,
You were a crazy year my friend. You started off the year by the side of a stressed and crazy senior college student and ended it by the side of a little less stressed, graduated and working woman. I think of everything that happened and pause and think…did that all really happen in just 365 days?!
- Graduated
- Turned 22
- Got an AMAZING job
- Lost 35 pounds
- Loved on 4...

Goal weight was reached by Christmas!
Now another 15 down by February 12 is the next goal!
The one bummer: Being in between sizes…I’ve gone from a 14 to a 10 and can now fit in size 8 if it’s a skinny day and first thing in the morning. So I refuse to buy a size 8 until they slide on nice and easy…so my pants have a little sag and I’m constantly doing the wiggle to keep them up. Can’t wait to slide...
Today I washed a car and the window cleaner...
how cliche for it to start raining…
Last Weeks Brussel Sprouts and Cheesecake...mixed...
Brussel Sprouts:
- Paying for a park hopper ticket and forgetting to check what time California Adventure closes…then getting to California Adventure, walking through the gate just to ask the lady “what time do you close” for her to say “we are closed”
- Not being able to work on my tan while doing outdoor work…the little sun I got shrank away and quickly...
13 days until Christmas and 2 pounds from my...
Everybody needs a crazy day...
I’ve known it for awhile…but I never really voiced it. However, today, I went out with my best friend. We decided to be frivolous and carefree. We met at Starbucks and I ordered my coffee. At Target, we moseyed and commented on everything we saw. We sprung for the Burt’s Bees chapstick and walked through Nordstroms, trying on clothes and acting like we could afford anything in...
Brussel Sprouts and Cheesecake reinstated...
A while back, I started a little section called Brussel Sprouts and Cheesecake. It was a post that highlighted the good and the bad of life. I think it’s time to reinstate as it helped me realize how blessed I am and how, in reality, the Brussel Sprouts aren’t that bad. So for this installation:
Cheesecake:
- A decorated house back in Murrieta. Knowing that in 5 days, I’ll be...
My poor me wake up call...
Today I was having a “poor me” day…I have a lot going on and have been feeling like I just can’t measure up to what everyone is expecting of me.
I was feeling like an awful girlfriend. He takes the LSATs this week, his grandma just passed away and I had a wedding the day of the funeral, I didn’t bake everything for his birthday and carne asada turned into pizza by...
December when did you show up?!
oh.my.goodness life is getting crazy! I just checked my calendar and realized it is December 1…25 days until Christmas is a real deal now and I have yet to get in the holiday spirit. With the crazy schedule of work, photography, family, friends and Andrew I think it is a marvel I have time to even blog!
Wait, what am I doing blogging?! That isn’t in the schedule!
Here’s to...

Outside of food and one more gift I am done until...
Today was uber busy…after making a list of everything I need for Thanksgiving pies and Andrew’s birthday party I was super stressed! One week from now we will be thanking God for our families and that delicious turkey in front of us…but ALOT needs to be done!
I still had gifts, cards, and clothes to buy so I threw on comfy clothes and ventured out to ease my stress…after...
I seriously can't breathe from laughing so hard at...
I'm definitely right where God wants me...
I loved being 6 years old again today. I ate lunch at the picnic tables, watched boys make fart sounds with their armpits and watched little girls chase little boys. I even wasn’t allowed on the playground.
I love these little boys a ton and even though I left them 2 hours ago, I can’t wait to pick them up in an hour. They don’t have school tomorrow and our project is to build...
Sunday Night Nanny Adventures
I missed the boys…I went home last night only to be looking at the clock all day today figuring out how early I could pick them up…I settled for half an hour earlier than what I told their grandma and was so happy to hug them and take them home for a super cozy night.
- Drinking hot chocolate with colored marshmallows and trying to see the crazy creatures the boys “see” in...
