My New Groups

For the past month+, I've been running with a local group called Stroller Warriors.  At first, I was hesitant to join as I thought it cost money, but turns out it's totally free!  Stroller Warriors is a great group of women who get together for workouts once a week (and as soon as school is out, twice a week!).  The fitness level of the members ranges from super speedy to turtle and it's a great motivation to get out there on these hot summer days.


This past Saturday, I headed down to Wilmington on a whim to run the 3rd Annual Flashback 10K and ran into 4 other girls from the group.  I didn't know any of their names at the time, but I recognized faces and boy did that make the run better!  I tried to steal a picture from the event that was on Facebook, but was unable to do so.  Oh well, it's a wonderful thing to do here in Jacksonville and it keeps us busy, so Hooray for Stroller Warriors!

I also started a group on Facebook called "Biggest Loser Fans Who Eat Ice Cream While Watching."  It's a group of women who are trying to lose weight or just get in/stay in shape.  We share our food intake for the day, workout tips, and other information.  Some people have the self-control and willpower to get it done on their own, and good for them!  But I'm not one of them, so every little thing helps!  So thanks to all of you who contribute.  You have no idea how much it helps to be accountable to a group of people!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
