Week 1 ~ Battle of the Belly

Sooooo, how is everyone doing?? I gotta say, week 1 really wasn't that bad! I actually lost 5 pounds and we ate REALLY GOOD food. What were some of your favorite things you made?

How often do you read something like this, "I went to laundry training and I LOVED IT!"? I'm pretty sure you don't read it all that often. But truly, I did, love it that is! I actually am totally and completely in love with the new Bosch Vision Washer & Dryer and have been racking my brain for creative ways to sell our current machines. (And they aren't bad, they...

the battle begins…

So sorry not to get this posted for Monday! I realized that I was going to need to give you a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal plan - which takes A LOT of time. Especially when you are running back and forth to the computer and juggling the Littles and helping hubby and doing our basic weekend activities. I thought I would get it finished Sunday night, but after laying...
