day 2.

Today I tried to eat better.
Breakfast - nothing again. Was very busy up untill lunch
Lunch- Turkey sandwich
Dinner- Pork tenderloins in cream of mushroom sauce with white rice. It was so freakin good I had to have 2 helpings!
I also had a nice green salad.
I ran on the treadmill for 12 min and hopped on the eliptical for a few. Wanted to stay longer but the batteries died in my mp3 and I was bored. will get to the gym tomorrow.

Not sure how many 2 year olds choose salad over other types of food. Lily loves salad! She will eat a whole bowl of salad and not even touch her main meal. Silly kid. took this picture of her last night and I just have to share It's one of my favorite of lily

Madelyn was sick all day. Last night she got a fever of 101.5 Held off on the tylenol. I wanted to let the fever do it's job. I did end up giving her some tylenol mid morning because I knew she didn't feel well. Poor baby She slept most of the entire day! You gotta check out the diaper I made today. I already posted about it though.

lookie what I made!



I made this out of that material that is softer than the minkey! so I put a backing of fleece on the minkey stuff. not sure what it's eally called though. Anyways, the apple fabric is flannel. So this should be a waterproof diaper. Oh it's a pocket. I'm a little worried how this fabric will hold up in the wash. the lady at the store said it should be fine though. We'll see.

I also made this the other day. Another from the RRP pattern. The outer is tie die fleece and the inner is regular old flannel. I just use pf's to stuff. I've now made 4 diapers!!

The pink diaper is so very soft! I just want to snuggle it. I may make a nice pillow with the extra I have.

day one...



Day one of journaling my food. Lets see what did I eat today.
Breakfast- Nothing. (I know it's themost important meal of the day I just wasn't hungry yet)
Lunch- Leftover turkey and mashed potatoes
Dinner- Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and light cesar dressing.
1 grilled pork strip
8 glasses of water today!

Grandparents took both girls swimming this afternoon and I've had a great time with hubby. NO KIDS!!!

today I ran on the treadmil. I am usually not a runner. I get bored very easily on the treadmill. However since I have music now I found it's much easier to run. Last time I attempted a run I was about to keel over before I even got 3 min. Today I ran for 1.5 miles! I could have gone longer but I decided to go and take the muscle pump class. man that was great! That class works every muscle group for about 4 minuites each. The class went by so fast I will definantly go back there.

yayy!!!


hubby got the fence put up around the compost pile. not sure if I posted about that already or not. Suzie's doing a good job of keeping the squirels out. Suzie got something cornered and trapped under the back deck the other day. I kept trying to keep her inside so whatever it was could go out but whatver it was wouldn't come out. Finally did at night.
so I sewed up a ring sling that has turned out to be so useful!! I plan on making at least a few more. they are so easy and the instructions for how to do them are on mayawrap.com Also, I found a great tutorial on the no sew ring sling on youtube. just type no sew ringsling and it will pop right up. so handy. hmmm.... let's see what else has been going on.

Lily has learned to open up her own bedroom door. yeah that's no fun!!! she keeps coming out at 3am to come and sleep with us or just pay a visit. friday Jeremy got up because he heard the tv on well, he got out of bed and heard lily running into her own room and slammed the door. He came out to the livingroom and found suzie snuggled under the blankets and the tv on. silly girl. If you have any tips on how to get lily to sleep all night I am open to any and all ideas. short of locking her in her room that is.

I will start my food journal tomorrow so tonight is fair game. will be enjoying a nice bowl of ice cream. I was out shopping today and just for fun tried on a bikini. well, I can almost pull it off! I just need to lose about 10 more pounds by spring. and hit the tanning bed up! I know that's not earth friendly at all so maybe I"ll look into other options. Old navy is having some great deals going on right now. but still I restrained from buying anything there! Ok will hit up the gym tomorrow am. I will probably be back in a bit when I think of something great to write about:)

Oh we went on a great bike ride today. The weather was beautiful!! Suzie even got to go. The girls looked so cute snuggled together in their bike trailer. Suzie is nice and worn out. snoozin the floor like a good girl. She sure deserves it.

Everyone has a first post...Right?

Ok, so I feel this first post has to be much like 99% of all the other "first posts" I've ever read. I have to talk about me and my beautiful family. My name is Shuree I'm 25 y/o SAHM to 2 beautiful Girls who you will hear tons about. Lillian or "lily" just turned 2 in december and I'll tell ya only a few days into the terrible two's and I'm already over them. she's really a sweet little girl though. Very funny and happy go lucky. She's talking up a storm and is repeating everything! More on her later. Madleyn is 8 months old and she's a little diva. Very finicky wants things her way in her time. The absolute opposite from lily. She's crawling, babbling, and figuring things out. It's almost like she has decided she doesn't have time to sit around and be a baby. There's fun to be had! Jeremy is my husband. What can I say about him except he's the most wonderful man in the world. Even when I'm mad at him he's still amazing. Funny in a dry sort of way, super sexy, thoughtful, caring and his family is his number 1 interest. I love that we come first for him. We have been married 2 years and it's been really great. Maybe the novelty of playing house just hasn't worn off yet. LOL! But really I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with this man. He puts up with all my craziness. Which leads me to my next topic :)
Our or rather MY new years resolution was to use less and conserve more. I guess I am just wanting to do more for the planet my childeren and grandchilderen will live on. So far I cloth diaper and while I know that reduces a lot of waste I just feel like I want to do more. So a lot of my blog will be our road to going green. everything from starting to recycle, to starting up my compost pile then in the spring I'll show off my garden. I really love to garden. I have a lot of crazy hobbies but I get bored rather quickly and move on to the next one. I taught myself to knit and that was fun. Then I taught myself to dye wool yarn I still like to do that too. most recently I sewed my first diaper last night! I think I'll leave the sewing to other people. I've met a lot of wonderful women though the various forums I frequent and I hope some of them will stop in and visit my blog :) Ok so, how was that for a first post?
