30/30 Challenge, Day 1

Happy New Years Y'all!!
We had a whirlwind trip to South Lake Tahoe, and all got sick...
that's right...
one hubby to the ER + one 2 yr old to Urgent Care =
one very tired and shabby looking Mommy!

BUT...we are watching Finding Nemo and gathering our strength!

So, there is no picture for today
but I will be posting soon, just maybe a couple outfits at once.

Do you have your 30 items picked out and ready to roll????
I do.

Sorry to be lame, and start 2011 with nothing,
but that is the life of a Mommy I tell ya!

See you VERY soon...
with pictures
PROMISE!

30/30 Challenge

Welcome to the 30/30 Challenge ladies!!!

Starting January 1, 2011 I will be mixing and matching 30 items from my closet
for 30 days, and documenting my outfits right here for your viewing pleasure!

Things I hope to accomplish from all of this nonsense:

*Appreciate my clothes
*Recognize that I do have "something" to wear
*Think outside the box
*Get dressed everyday in something other than yoga pants
(You know you do it too.....)
*Have fun and connect with my friends!

So over the next week or two I will be pulling together my 30
and I will photograph them to hold myself accountable.
All other closet items will be shoved aside
and wrapped in CAUTION tape for the month of January.

If you want to play along on your blog,
feel free to let me know and I will link to your blog with my weekly wrap-up.

2011 is going to be full of goodness, and why not start with our clothes.

I will also be doing a photo-a-day on my family blog

So stay tuned....

xoxo

Disney Family Fun

I stumbled across this website that I have never been on before, but it has so many great ideas for you and your kids, and tons of cute printables!

I particularly like this bird mobile....very cute, and Miss P loves it too!


Do you have any favorite go-to websites for ideas or fun things for your kids to do?

We are always up for a new, quick and easy craft project around here!

Toothbrushes

One of my oldest friends just got her RN and was able to journey to Uganda to help and work at a clinic there for a month (The Engeye Clinic). She needed to collect as many toothbrushes as she could to take with with her to distribute to the children and teach them about proper dental care, and asked for help in collecting the toothbrushes. My Mom and I took on the task and between the ladies here on base and my Mom's ward back home, we were able to contribute something like 700+ toothbrushes...crazy right?! Here are a few photos to share of the kids receiving their toothbrushes! I am so grateful to have been able to help in such a small way...and to be surrounded by amazing women so eager to help!

confession

Dearest Mod Podge,

You know I love you.

You know if I were to ever got a tattoo, it may have to be something like this:



I will always love you....but I have a teeny tiny confession....

I met your younger sister today....Mod Podge Sparkle...and I must say,
while you are loyal, trustworthy, and my best friend..

Sparkle is cooler, shinier, and WAY more fun.


We aren't breaking up, but I think we need some time apart....
I want to hang with Sparkle some more!

I am sparlking up some picture frames in the basement right now!!!!!
If you Mod Podge....you must try the Sparkle version....so much fun!


And yes, I know I am a nerd!
