Things I'm thinking about

I am going to use my blog to write out some of my thoughts lately if you don't mind.

One thing I am thinking of making my own make up. I was looking through Making Cosmetics.com and think that it is maybe possible.

Another thing I have thought about is making handbags...looking at directions I think I could do it

I have thought about making jewelery....just a thought

These are fleeting thoughts that I have and have no idea if I will ever be able to do any of it, or even have the time considering I barely have time to shower it seems ...but maybe someday?

Wordless Wednesday

What in the world is Barbie doing naked and hanging in my vacuum? Oh my just another day in my house

New yummy review...Chobani Champion and new hair?

Let's start by yummy yum yum. These are fantastic, I bought them in all the flavors, but it comes down to the chocolate and banana are the best. I tasted the berry, and strawberry flavor which are good but not knock off my socks good. The chocolate is great and the banana is bowl licking good, along with filling for a snack. Worth a try with a review of 2 thumbs up ;0)
Let me know if you have any thing your curious about trying and I'll give you a review.




and while we are on the topic of review...I went darker with my hair. I have been coloring my hair light for so long I forgot what color my real hair color is. As I have more kids I'm noticing the time to have to go to the salon while someone babysits 4 cutie pies is not easy to do every month to touch up roots. So I finally did it and went darker my goal is to just let my real hair color grow then get high lights once in a while...way easier to maintain (I hope)....any ways what do you think yay or nay?
Before



After

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day
Thank you all service men and women who defend, and fight for our freedom.

Bad day until...

Today was a rough day. The girls were just off I guess. From screaming to crying to disobeying. It was rough, one of those days that you want to crawl under a rock, then when I'm at my wits end one of the kids knock on your rock and say "Momma I love you" or " Mommy I am so happy your our mommy"....Did I hear that right? Your glad I'm your mommy after having to discipline you all day. Key the sweet music, and melting hearts you just made my day better. Thank you God I needed to hear that.

Training my way

I decided to train for the Tufts 10K in October. I missed running, every time I drove by someone running I always hear the little voice in my head saying that should be you. I have always loved running, but it has been a while. So I starting from the beginning. From walking to jog/running. I started on Monday and no kidding my legs are sore. I love that feeling though, I love soreness from running. So as of now I'm doing my training at night considering it's the only time I have. Hubby works long days and comes home late so it's after I get him fed and kids tucked in I go out and have mommy time. That's my favorite part, no guilt just me, my music, the road and God. I need it, I know not everyone needs that time but this momma does. I need to spend time doing something alone, free from thinking, disciplining, asking, telling, just improving mommy mentally and physically. I already know what I want for mother's day next year. I want to spend some time with my beautiful family but then I want to be able to run the Charles River. Every time I am in that area with hubby, I stare at the runners on the Charles and feel like my body is going to jump out and join them. So I am aiming for that run next May, but until then I will be running in Boston for the 10k and let me tell you this little chubby momma is excited.
