How My Friends and I Are FINALLY Losing Weight!!

How My Friends and I Are FINALLY Losing Weight!!

Oh, losing weight… the story of my adult life! With every baby I have (that’s 7!), it gets harder and harder to lose the weight after. It used to be that I could do practically ANY diet, and it would work… low carb, low fat, low calorie, etc. But, as I got older it has seemed like nothing works. I even worked with a personal trainer for two years, made some definite fitness progress, but really struggled when it came to cutting. I tried macros, her bodybuilding diet, and basically everything under the sun, to no avail. Ugh. Soooo annoying.

February 2017 Visiting Teaching Printable – Free For Your Use! (she: Jeri)

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit assigned ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have. For those of you who aren’t members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I hope you can use these quotes and scriptures as well. Most of the subjects are universal Christian subjects and the quotes and scriptures are inspiring and helpful for everyone!

Cupid Counting Printable – Get Ready for Valentine’s Day! (she: Liz)

My kindergartner is just starting to learn math facts. So far she is doing really well and has caught on quickly. I thought it would be fun to create a math fact sheet centering around Valentine’s Day. So cupid counting was created. I wanted to create something that could be used over and over again and help understanding the various combinations in adding up to different numbers.

Vicks Winter Wellness Tips – Survive Cold and Flu Season! (she: Liv)

I love using a humidifier. But what’s the point of putting moisture into the air, you ask? Well, lemme tell ya. The use of a humidifier can actually help prevent the flu virus from surviving in the air and on surfaces of your home. If avoiding barf isn’t reason enough to use a humidifier, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS. But I *do* have some more reasons in today’s post, so check ’em out!

25 Clever Chore Charts That Will Motivate Anyone (she: Mariah)

I was recently “inspired” to make a chore chart for my little guy. Yes, he is only 2 years old, but I really want him to grow up understanding the importance of helping out at home and cleaning up after yourself. I knew there were little things around the house that he would be more than capable of helping with and I knew that a chore chart would get him excited.

An Awesome California Family Vacation, Part 2

So, after Knott’s Berry Farms, we took a day off for relaxing, then headed out bright and early for Universal Studios. I had never been there before and couldn’t wait to check it out! Plus, I had heard all about the new Harry Potter World, and I knew my kids would LOVE that.

We tried to pick a day of the week to go, when it wouldn’t be too crowded. I believe we went on a Thursday, during the school year too. We thought we were safe!
