Eric’s last days at home
In an effort to help Jake have a bit of a visual of where daddy is going, Eric built a model of the U.S.S. Eisenhower. Loving Daddy! We also had our family over for dinner and this fun cake!!! (Bon Voyage Eric, Happy Birthday Dad, Happy Father’s Day Everyone Else!) And… Continue reading

Garden Fun
In an effort to teach my kids where food ACTUALLY comes from, we planted a garden this year and its growing quite nicely! Jacob likes to water and find the red berries for Hannah. (He doesn’t like strawberries because they “are too dirty”! Ha! i think its the seeds he doesn’t like…. Hannah and her… Continue reading

For my kids…
As a part of losing 50lbs, my diet changed. I do not drink soda. I don’t drink juice. It’s water or milk and coffee with nonfat milk in the morning. I have had 2 glasses of wine (separate occasions) in 5 months. I didn’t finish either glass. When it comes to the kids, however, I… Continue reading

Preparation
Today was the last race before Eric’s departure. Kind of bittersweet, but I really didn’t have time to dwell too much on it because I was SO completely unprepared for today in every way that I just had to muddle through. Flying by the seat of my pants, I snoozed longer than I should have… Continue reading

Blegh. On More than One Level
Blegh. There. I said it. I’m feeling a little blue as the reality of going it alone for 9 months sinks in. I know I’m not ALONE alone. There are plenty of people to help out, offer support and are just there for me and the kids. But, it isn’t Eric. There isn’t a replacement… Continue reading

It Wasn’t a Mushy Banana Day….but…..
Had a great time in Minnesota (will blog about that one later tonight after the kiddos are asleep) but I am so glad to be home and in my own bed. We have a tempurpedic mattress and sadly it makes us wimps when it comes to staying in hotels with crappy beds. Yeah, I know… Continue reading

Flying to Minnesota….
One of the things packed into this crazy month before D-day is a whirlwind trip to Minnesota to visit with Eric’s family. As I sit here on the plane I am feeling grateful that Hannah is snoring peacefully, Jake is (for the moment) thoroughly engrossed in a movie he has seen 5000 times. We planned… Continue reading

The Funk Has Left the Building!
Over the last year different friends have encouraged me through my weight loss/fitness journey, and a few even telling me that by witnessing my transition, they’ve in turn been inspired to get more fit. Wow. While I wouldn’t call it a burden (seriously?! I’m the one that posts about it for everyone to read!) but… Continue reading
