Burst into Summer Challenge

 

So I signed up for the Burst into Summer Challenge over at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. Even though summer in our house is well underway. I am hoping to get some, no a lot of motivation, from my teammates. I feel pretty good about my body and the weight that I am at, I have been at the same weight most of my adult life. After all 3 pregnancies my body returns to the same weight, I guess I can't complain too much, but I would love to get that "space" in between my legs back. LOL!

Having 2 girls ages 10 and 12, I teach them to rock the body they got! I never talk about needing to lose weight in front of them and I always eat what I want but in moderation. My oldest daughter realizes that she will never be "stick skinny" but she knows she is beautiful inside and out! Unfortunately we have a lot of Russian in our blood, which means big thighs. *****Big sigh****

So here I am sweating thru the summer in order to fit a little better in my pants come fall.  Wish me luck!

Junior League Winter Ball

So I am a little late posting pics of my daughters winter ball but better late than never. I was not very happy with the pictures I took. For some reason our house at night has horrible lighting so I had to edit these photos and I still don't know if I am happy with them.  My daughter and her friend started getting ready 2 hours before we had to leave. They were really excited for their dance, they did their makeup, hair and them primped some more.

I think I flashed forward about 4 years to her prom. It seemed like she was getting ready for her high school prom.

Trying to get back in action...

I have come to the conclusion that my life will NEVER slow down, my life will always be hectic, crazy and chaotic. What else should I expect having 3 kids, a husband and 3 dogs to care for. So with that being said, I have made a pact with myself to blog more and visit other blogs more. If you are a follower of my blog hang in there because I promise to stop by more and update you on The Little Things in Life....

On another note tonight is a big night for my 12 year old daughter. She is going to her first Junior Cotillion Winter Ball. She has been going to Junior Cotillion classes since September and she is learning manners, ball room dancing,  how to sit properly, proper greetings and of all things..the correct way to eat ice cream. Who knew there was a proper way to eat ice cream?

She has the new dress, new shoes, new makeup and she is wearing a necklace that belonged to her Great Grandma. After school her best friend and her will be getting all dolled up together for their big night. I can't wait to post pictures this weekend.
