It's Christmas!!

I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday of all time. I love the gifts. The tree. The traditions. All of it! 

I made this year's Advent Calendar a little different. I usually put lots of candy and gifts into each day. This year I made tags with activities on them. So far, it's going over well! 

I had tiny Christmas clothespins to clip each sack to a burlap ribbon attached to my picture frame. 

After we have done the activity for the day, we can flip the tag and see the Christmas festivity on the back! 

So that's that! 

I like the idea of doing something together versus just giving a gift. Though I have included activities like baking cookies and going out for ice cream treats! :-) 

Trees, ribbon and turtle doves!

Listies!

•I like it cold at night when I'm sleeping. But I need it to be warm to get out of bed.

•I feel burned out with bento. Plus. It's so hard for my girls to bring their bentos home from school. 

•Thanksgiving is in three days and I don't have a turkey yet! ...or anything! 

•I feel lost today as I don't have a planner/plan for the week. I shouldn't have moved from my domino without having my Original ready to go. Noted! 

•This is my second year to no do Nanowrimo. :-( 

•I'm so freaking in love with my husband. My heart has that achy hurty happy feeling to it. I still find it strange that I feel so strongly after these three years. 

•I've lost 4lbs in the last month. Yay me! I am only watching my portions. Not really saying no to anything. 

•Birthdays are over. Thank goodness! Glad I have so many children to celebrate...but it kills our bank. Lol

•And lastly, a quote. 

Not sure of the source. Someone sent it to me via text. :-) -source, the Interweb. 

Wayword out!

Lets wrap it up!

I made wraps today for lunch. They're so delicious and the perfect thing to finish up the week. 

Jolie's bento is a tad sweeter since I added a granola bar. 

I really liked how easy this bento was. No cooking, just assembling. It was a breeze. 

I have added to my "wish list", silicone muffin cups for dividing food, plastic tooth picks and sauce cups! Hopefully I can get these this weekend.

New beginnings!

Jolie, Kaitlyn and Daniel, first day of the 2013 year! Dan is so tall and handsome. Kaitlyn is just chill and ready to take on the 6th grade! My baby is so fine and fashionable. She's so excited to start the year. I love it! 

They are so precious! I'm so grateful for smart, healthy children. 

I made bento for the first day! It was really pretty easy. I made teriyaki chicken skewers, rice, nuts and fruit. I hope the kids like them. I'm eating mine while I blog this and it's pretty fabulous. 

Since taking bento to work, whether or not it's relative, I have lost 3 pounds. Not to mention I feel so much cleaner on the inside. If that makes any sense at all. I feel like I'm getting accustomed to eating healthy. It's not a diet, I've made changes to how and what I eat. :-) 

Happy Trails!

Postits to my kids

I doodle these during the day at work while I'm on the phone. 

 

What's funny is that I put this on my Facebook, and everyone loved the first one! It's so positive and happy. But only like 4 people liked the second one...which I think is far more important. Lol.
