1) Yikes! It's been forever since I blogged anything of substance...life has been busy...crazy busy...for me and seriously just about everyone else I know. It's just been weird. The truth is...I've been stressed but I'm hopeful that all will level out soon. Well...it has to.
2) The twins have been giving me a run for the money (is that how that saying goes?). They have had a 7 p.m. bed time since they were 2 mos old. For the last two weeks, they have stayed up as late as 8:30...jumping out of their beds, getting into each other's beds, turning on lights, opening doors...wait... opening doors??? I didn't know 2 yr olds did that. I never had this drama with MacKenzie. She was in her crib until she was about 3.5. Yep...and I LOVED it. We may have to convert the girls beds soon though...ugh! I hate when I don't win. Oh yeah...and they nearly flooded the bathroom last night...ok...so that's an exxageration...but there was a LOT of water on the floor.
3) I'm now considering hosting a giveaway to the Bloom Forum. I kinda LOVE Bloom. Through Bloom, I experienced my first inperson photography workshop and made some great friendships. Bloom is a nice, small, giving community. Anyway, if anyone would be interested in a membership, let me know and if so, I'll host the giveaway.
4)Speaking of workshops...I'm going to another workshop in less than two weeks. I'm sooooooooo excited! I think it will be lots of fun and I'm hopeful that I'll learn some great tips to be possibly be ready to set up shop early next year. I love that two of my photogs friends will be there and it's a small group of 8 girls over 2 full days.
5) I've been doing some portfolio building. Maternity/Family, Family, Newborn, and I have a Senior Girl and Boy lined up over the next two months. Also in the pipeline, I'll be shooting my friend's 6 month old. I think that's a tough age, so it should be interesting...If you have tips...let me know! Interested in what I've shot so far??? See them here!
6) If you follow me on Pinterest...I'm sorry for always blowing up your page. I'm kinda addicted. This is my fave pin that I repinned tonight:
7) I have training tomorrow so I need to get my butt in the bed. I think my body is starting to say NO to all this staying up late business.
8) Yikes! My knees are still achy from 30 Day Shred?? For real??? I'm too young for this!
9) MacKenzie signed up for Mathcounts this year. They let advanced 5th graders sign up that are enrolled in Pre-Algebra and higher Math. Oh my word. Why is the work so hard?? I seriously cannot help her. And then there is her Kumon. She is 75% through Level J. Just know that that means hard...j/k (kinda)...I just looked it up...Level J is Advanced Algebra. She is in 5th grade, so I just seriously don't know what we will do going forward because she is pretty much beyond my math recollection level. I wish I'd been disciplined enough to work through everything with her so I could have (re)learned along with her...but alas...not so much. It's funny though because she has always done so well in Math we were pretty shocked by how difficult she and we have found the Mathcounts to be...seriously...even the warmups...but my hope is that if she gets this, she should do very well going forward. It makes my heart happy that she is getting some great college prep opportunities.
10) I miss my blogger friends. I'm excited to get a moment to breathe and catch up with everyone! Very soon!
Have a great week!!!

30 Day Shred | Mission Failed
Tonight is the night that I admit defeat and that I just couldn't keep up with everything going on. I'm disappointed that I didn't take 20 min. On top of that, I'm pretty darn sure I've had dessert everyday since last Tuesday. I think that's called an addiction...
I'm hoping life settles over the next couple of weeks and that I can I try again. Maybe in a quieter manner where I just report back here that finally I suceeded. But for now...that's not the case.
Head over to Brandy's blog and read how she rocked 30 Day Shred...I just know she did...I'm telling you I saw her...she looks GOOD!

Can You Tilt Your Head ? | Twins Fight
No one believes me when I say that the girls fight a LOT...
Here is today's example...so busy fighting that they fail to count properly in English. I do think Nia managed to count to ten once in Spanish without messing up or stopping to spit at Nala...
Sorry. I always forget to turn my phone landscape when I record...

30 Day Shred | Week 4
Ok...I'm a big ol failure. Failure I tell you. Here is the thing. I spoke to soon. I thought I had this...I thought I was ready to go. I wasn't. Life got busy busy this week...and I failed. I don't even want to talk about. I saw Brandy this weekend and failed to even comment on how good she looked because I didn't want her to ask me how I was doing. Not good. I failed. I'll try again tonight. And let's just say...I'll have to add a week to my journey...
And...on top of that...I'm late posting. Let's just say...I could use a break.
Soon...
Hop over to Kensya's Blog...she had to have done better.

30 Day Shred | Week 3 Complete
So, there is good and bad news. I'm still in this and this week I solely worked Level 2. I feel great and more mentally motivated than I was in the first two weeks. BUT, I only worked out five days. That may be what I need to have success...not sure. I'll try again this week and see. I'll be working Level 2 for this entire week since I'm only 5 days in.
The two moves that I hate the most are
1) Pendulum Lunges -- I have to really watch my form on these because my knees can get achy.
2) The Squat with V-flys -- ouch...but when I finish, I feel super strong. AND I love the new definition in my shoulders!
So this week, I'm happy to say I feel STRONGER and I think I'm having pretty good results.
I'm in this through the end. Halfway there!
I have a feeling Brandy is too...but go check her out and see how her week went...
