Wonderful Weekend

 I finished the granny square christmas quilt and started another one

 The girls and I baked some very large cookies, made dinner together and spent some time in the kitchen together.

 And the boys did what the boys do best.....Rest....

Getting back to it

I've been sewing a little, cooking a little and walking a little. Feels like I'm getting back to it. You know the "it" you are suppose to do. The "it" that makes you happy. Tomorrow I go back to work and I'm excited to get back to "it" also. I finished two more rows on the granny square quilt you see in the picture above and will be putting it together sometime......

New website to share

Today I discovered www.shrinkingkitchen.com  This is an awesome site. It has a menu planning section with lots of ideas. So here's my menu for the week:

Wednesday: Hamburgers
Thursday: Grilled Steaks and Salad
Friday: Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Saturday: Cheeseburger Pasta
Sunday: Grilled Veggie Salad
Monday: Sloppy Joes
Tuesday: Chicken Enchiladas

3 Weeks 5 Pounds

Three weeks. That doesn't seem like a huge amount of time right? Well..... You can't complain about something unless you are ready to do something about it right? Each time I talk to my girlfriends the subject of our weight comes up and how we are not happy with it. So today my girlfriend said, "What are we going to do about it?" Five pounds seemed like a good place to start. Three weeks seemed like a safe amount of time to do it in. Want to join us? We are getting pedicures WHEN we reach our goal. SO tracking food, moving more, lots of water. What things do you do to help you lose weight- And keep it off?

Summer is Flying By

We took the girls and pups for a drive this weekend and went over the mountains to a town called Madrid. Small little town on Turquoise Trail filled with galleries and restraunts.

 Some of the pieces that caught my eye. Really love the one below.

Been doing a little sewing too. Got the granny square quilt started that the Old Red Barn Quilt Along group is doing

Also played with a few stars

The girls and I went to the zoo this past week too. Riley and I saw the movie Brave. Great mother / daughter movie and yes I cried. We also saw Dark Shadows at the dollar theater.

One week left before I start back up at work so going to make the most of it. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
