Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

Van and I were invited to preview Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. Radio Disney was there pumping up the crowd, kids were dancing in the isles, and all the little one's were anxiously awaiting the movie to begin.


I am definitely no movie critic, but man we loved Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. I thought that the music was phenomenal...totally caught my attention from the very beginning.

Of course it will definitely be something that we will add to our movie collection.

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue will be available in stores September 21st...which is today. Are you going to go and get it, because I know we are!!?

**We saw this movie in the theater for free. Thank you Click Communications.

Sorry I didn't do this on Friday. Crazy Friday, sick baby weekend, and voila...it is now Monday.

Thank you Boob Nazi for introducing me to My Fitness Pal. I have to give credit where it is due. I think this website is the #1 reason I have lost weight.


When I was having a picked on moment, I read this post by my friend Emily...and seriously I had nothing on her bad week. Now she is soakin' up the sun in So Cal, and visiting the Ellen Show...so really I can feel picked on again.

My friend is having her very first giveaway. If you vote, you get entered in to win something pretty. Go support her. =)

I really think this would be the cutest cake for Vin's birthday.

This made me wanna hold my babies closer...and have a little patience.

I am sure I have left something off, but my brain is in a fog.

week one.

It has been one heckofa week. I have done fairly well on my "diet" (I really hate that word). I haven't really done a lot of serious working out. I decided I will do everything gradually. Probably not the best approach, but I am trying a different one since I tried the gung ho approach 1,258,654,952 times and it never worked.

Last week I was 202.4
This week I am 195.8

Yes, I have had progress.

No, my clothes are still fitting the same. =(

BUT you know what I have noticed the most that is not so swell? My mood.

The past two days I have been unbearable...my poor family and coworkers. I have had multiple good cries. I am irritable. I say things that are hurtful...and then I wonder if it is even worth being on a "diet".

Paul must have known I was going completely crazy, and I might just explode at any moment...and he was right. So he went and bought Vin some new jammies, and dressed him cute for bed. I love Paul for this, because it made my night when I woke up with him, it made my morning when I went to pick him up from the crib again, and today I am a whole new woman...all from an $8 pair of jammies. Who knew? Paul did, and it is the simple things that make his crazy wife happy.

Here is to another week of weight loss, getting out and riding that Schwinn bike, and eating better for me and my family!

school is rawkin' our world.

Van is loving Kindergarten. Who wouldn't really...recess, snacks, coloring, awesome teacher, and all the friends you could as for. She has already learned so much in such a short time, I can't wait to see her progression at the end of the year.

It is amazing how differently we look at things now that Van goes to school. All of the sudden those Box Tops that I thought were sooo silly...mean something. As soon as we come home from the grocery shopping, Van is frantically cutting out the Box Tops and shoving them in her back pack to take to school.

I have really started to look for products just to buy so that we can have more Box Tops. Totino's is giving away 10,000 Bonus Box Tops, school supplies and free Totino's snacks to eight lucky schools through the "Make School a Better Place Sweepstakes!" . Not only that, but Totino's is also offering double Box Tops on all of their products as well...you better believe we bought some! Oh yes...I have become that Mom who wants to help at school, bring the most Box Tops, and whatever else I have to do to make this experience for Van a positive one!

Do you wanna go crazy over Box Tops with me? Leave a comment, and I will have a drawing for a prize pack with fun school supplies...AND 25 BOX TOPS!! =)

I was given a prize pack from General Mills through My Blog Spark.
