I am sure fitness makes some people uncomfortable, but not me! I love working out and getting what I need for the day! Ok this isn't a post about how much you should do, and I am not trying to make anyone feel bad. What I am saying is the minium is better than sitting in front of the tv. Here are some things you can try! Go to the gym. I love going to my gym. No men there waiting for me to get off of their machines. I usually do the elliptical, and the machines. One day I will work my arms and the next my legs. I always work my core! Don't worry if you can't go to the gym. Home DVD's are available and they are just as good. Tae-Bo was a constant video in our home that we wore out the VHS. Jillian Michaels has great DVD's as well. Don't want DVD's well you are in luck! There is also free phone apps for fitness. Get on the app store and start downloading. It doesn't get easier than that. Some of the apps that are free are: fitocracy, Sworkit, Ab W...

I like to read. I won't say love because it has to be a good book for me to really be into. I am going to recommend on reading "For Times of Trouble" by Jeffery R. Holland.

A clean kitchen sink makes all the difference Make your bed. I love having my bed made and I have to choose everyday whether I am going to make it or not. I love having all my pillows on the bed looking so perfect Get ready for the day! Nothing beats feeling like a beauty queen when your are getting ready for the day. Read a book that uplifts you! The library is full of books (and is free), neighbors, friends, family all have books that are waiting to be read. Go for a walk. The saying, "Endorphines make you happy, and happy people don't shoot their husbands," is so totally true! I go for a walk and life is better and I don't want to ...

I love stocking up on things I think it is Fabulous! My one stop shop for stocking up is Costco! Yes I know it is great for big families that have four or more kids, but believe me it's great for two as well. I have been shopping at Costco since I was first married. Not sure if it is because I was used to going there with my mom to shop for our big family or what but I love it. I have never bought electronics, candy, or bedding there the things I buy are items we use everyday!  This is just a list of what I buy Toilet Paper Paper Towels Laundry Soap Dishwasher Soap Frozen Chicken Hamburger Bread Formula Graham Cracker Toothpaste Femmine Products Deodorant Shampoo/Conditioner  Diapers Wipes Soap The chicken and hamburger I vacuum seal in my food saver and put in the freezer. Baby stuff and femmine products are stuff I hate buying every time I need them. They never expire (expect the baby food) and I can have tons on hand at once.  What a...
