The Plan... MY 10 things to a healthier happier me!

       What do I mean by "MY 10 things to a healthier happier me"? It is simply this... No one knows what will make you happy, but yourself. Everyone thinks they know what will make you healthy, but as much as something will for sure get you on the path to healthy living it's not as obtainable with all life styles!        A little about me... My name is Leslie, I am married to my 'Hubby' for 6 years now and I am a proud mother of 3 children, the 'B' who is 4 years old, 'A' who will be 2 in just a few days and 'E' who is almost 7 months. WHOA I know it's a hand full. I stay at home with them and watch my sister's three girls as well. I love being able to stay at home with my kids and raising them they way I think is best! I have a strange addiction to exclamation points, an obsession with Photography, a creative mind that I sometimes can't keep up with and unfortunately a dangerous love for food. I recently turned 28 and I'

Keeping Busy!

Image
    One of my goals for this year to help with weight loss and healthy living as a whole is getting out of the house more with activities!! Within the last week I've been able to do just that!        Thursday the hubby and I took Brayden to Skyzone to jump on trampolines. It was from 11-12. At first I was wondering if that would be enough time, but after we were done I knew it was the prefect amount of time! We explored all the open areas, from free jumping (left), the foam pit (below), and the dodge ball area (not shown). Brayden was pooped when we left and he took an awesome nap!! Yay! Even Brad and I had a lot of fun and it was a really great workout, but if you have back problems I suggest you skip this type of workout! For anyone interested in doing this with your children check out their website for more details. It cost us $12 for all three of us to jump. If only one of us parents would have jumped it would have only been $6.     Saturday I woke up and w

Goals and Activities to Complete in 2013

        Looking back on the past year. My family as a whole did a lot less than I would have liked. Don't get my wrong we did many things, I have a whole 2012 'Year in review book' to prove it however I want to pack the year with even more great memories and get my family more active! One of the things are parents that we really want to do for our children is expose them to as many different areas as they want. How amazing would it be if your child could discover what it is that they truly love doing and start doing it at a young age. I remember in High School everyone took a questionnaire and when the results came back based on your answers it said what the best career would be best for you (according to how you answered things). I can't even remember what it said I should do but I wish I would have realized my love for photography early on it probably would have changed my high school a wee bit!        This blog is completing in part the # 2 thing on 'my Plan'
