my love for kohl's

a few of our treasures...

i am always on the hunt for decently priced, but very cute kid's clothes. very little makes me happier than strangers commenting on how cute our kids are. certainly superficial, yet real, is the fact that clothes  and appearance influence others' perspective of us. my kids wear a ton of hand me downs from their cousins, which we love, love, love, but i tend to cringe when even those get stained or extensively dirty from daycare play. when claire was a toddler, i found a few outfits from target for $7 or so. loved them. she could get them dirty, roll around outside, get paint on them, and i cared less. i haven't been able to find any great deals there lately. i can usually get away with a cute outfit for $12 or so, but that tends to vary. i love carter's, but again, hate to ruin those outfits. i guess i am too cheap? anyway, i came across the jumping beans line at kohl's a few seasons ago. love it! many of the shirts/pants/skirts are interchangeable, so there are many outfits within a few pieces. the clothes are simply adorable and absolutely perfect for rough toddler play or even day to day wear.to top of my love, i can buy matching outfits for our kids and most of you know my oddity for coordinating their wardrobes ;) i stocked up on their fall selection last week. so stinkin' cute. i can't wait to dress up our lovelies in their new clothes. i even found a few must haves for me. thrilled to say i finally found my new pair of black boots. my last ones bit the dust over a year ago, but i hadn't found any that i liked well enough. such a happy day!

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
