Hello to the New School Year

We just started our 5th week of the new school year.

Trevor is now in middle school. Holy Moly, where did the time go?! His goal for this school year is to concentrate on reading and writing. He is greatest strength is Math.

Patrick is now a 5th grader. He is a great reader and has made huge improvements in Math over the last year. He wants to learn how to write in cursive this year. 

Phillip was excited to start Kindergarten, but now he has realized that it involves work. My goal for the year with him is to teach him how to read and write. 

And Annabelle is along for the adventure....

Buh Bye winter, hello spring!

I'm so over this cold weather and ready for it to be SPRING! Although, winter is holding on real tight and not letting go. Yesterday it was 80 and sunny, today is in the low 70s and cloudy/rainy. Tomorrow's high is 45. Winter go away, I'm done with the cold!

I've decided to jump start my fitness regimen with a juice diet. I am hoping to lose a few pounds and tone up before swim suit weather gets here. Today is the start of a juice diet. Breakfast was yummy. Green Lemonade: Spinach, kale, cucumbers, apples and lemons. I added an orange too. Delicious!

Not snacking during the day is a lot harder than I thought. Especially with all the little people around here that seem to eat all day long. I needed something sweet for lunch. Red apples, carrots, and pears. It's not the greatest, mainly because I don't like red apples.

I have found a website that has lots of juice recipes. www.juicerecipes.com
