    toot-toot!

    Yes, why that would be me tooting my own horn. My little recipe for pumpkin steel cut oats was highlighted on The Huffington Post – Taste blog yesterday. Ten other blogs were showcased on how to jazz up your plain hot cereal. There are some great ideas like the Nutella oatmeal topped with banana. Um, that is seriously a great concoction to take oats over the top! Okay, my look-at-me, ahh-ha moment is over.

    P.S. Remember to come back next Monday when the 1st Birthday Giveaway Bash goes LIVE!

    the nûby grip n’ sip cup {review}

    Eight days from now we will have a one-year-old! Eek! With that being said our baby boy is transitioning to big boy bottles and finding the “right” one has been difficult. He likes to nom on them and throw them across the room. When we introduced the Nûby grip n’ sip cup to him with his morning milk he did not refuse it. While he still had fun playing with it there wasn’t milk spraying everywhere, this is a huge plus! Needless to say, I think we’ve found our match during this transition!  



    Do you have a little about to transition from bottle to sippies? Or, do you have a toddler in need of a no-spill cup? Look no further! You can purchase this product and many other Nûby products from: buybabydirect |  kmart | target | walmart | diapers.com | kohls | amazon.com | toys r us

    it’s a weekly thang! {weigh-in wednesday}

    I cannot believe it is already Wednesday. Last week flew on by. I have been keeping myself focused on the kids,  the house and attending my goal in classes at The Dailey Method. If you remember me saying last week my goal was to attend five classes and I did just that! Saturday’s class, my fifth day, was really hard but like any workout you feel great afterwards. Sunday was a great day to rest especially since it was Jim’s birthday. We were able to take a two-mile stroll along the beach at Del Mar and enjoyed one another’s company. It was perfect! Monday I felt the itch to get back into the studio but took my two days off and instead cleaned the house like crazy. Organizing the kids clothes and getting donation boxes ready. This week marks my last week on my initial 30-Day challenge and Sunday begins the official Fall 30-Day challenge. I am glad I had the first thirty days to get back into it, to get my barrings wet so to speak. I am loving the transformation back to the old me, a more mature healthy me.

    When I started my personal 30-Day challenge at the first of the month I weighed 146, I had gone up a pound and then lost it. Over the past three weeks I have lost three pounds. My goal for today was to weigh 143 and you know what?! I weighed in at 141.6! People, I have 2.6 pounds to my (Brayden’s birthday) goal. When I got preggo with Payton I weighed somewhere around 137-139 so this was my goal. It is really exciting getting so close to this number.  Last week I hit another huge milestone, my treasured Hudson denim jeans that I wore practically everyday finally slipped on with ease. Before I started The Dailey Method in May (remember, I took six weeks of classes) I couldn’t slip the jeans on over my knees. Double high five to me!

    I do not have a weekly photo today but I will have it taken tonight so I can update on Saturday at the end of this challenge before I begin the new challenge.

    Again, if you live in the area and would love to try out The Dailey Method this week is the week for a trial. This Friday and Saturday they are offering FREE classes in honor of their one-year anniversary. If you end up loving it, you can start the Fall 30-Day challenge on Sunday with a special 70-minute class.

    I have to give another shout out today. I want to tell my Mother how proud I am of her weight loss. She was diagnosed with diabetes a few months back and since then has gotten down to healthy weight. We are actually really close in weight, she keeps joking she is catching up to me and I hope she is! I am proud of you and your new lifestyle!

    Make it a great week people, only you can change yourself.
