15 Day Challenge: Day 5

If you could have dinner with any five people, who would they be?

My 3 deceased Grandparents: Unfortunately all 3 of my grandparents died when I was young. I knew my grandparents as a child but I didn't get to know them as an adult. I would love to have dinner with all 3 to learn their stories, their struggles and their successes. The only things I know about my grandparents is what my parents tell me but I would love to learn more. 


Reese Witherspoon: I think I could be friends with Reese and learn a few things from her. She is a good person and has great style! I would just want to have dinner as friends not as a star struck fan.

Jillian Michaels: She is such a strong women but mostly I would want to ask her if you would train me to get fit. She is a huge inspiration to me because she struggled with weight problems as a child and over came it. I too have battled weight issues as a child but also have over come it but since having a baby I feel uncomfortable in my skin and am ready to get into shape. 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday America!

It is Kinslee's 1st 4th of July and she will be 6 weeks tomorrow! Since she is so young we just stayed home all day playing and cuddling! We plan on watching fireworks on TV, daddy is at work. Since he is a firefighter he is making sure nothing catches on fire as the fireworks come down. 

We hope everyone has a great day and stay safe :)

15 Day Challenge: Day 4

What's Your Favorite Childhood memory?

As odd as this sounds I blocked out a lot of my childhood. I truly do not remember many things but out of the ones I remember my favorite is when my Grandma Helen would pick up my sister and I and spend the day with us. We would go to breakfast at a place called Alfie's, I remember my sister and I would get chocolate milk and at Alfie's they put whipped cream on the chocolate milk. We thought that was the best thing ever. After breakfast we would go to Macy's in the mall and our Grandma would buy us a beach towel a piece. Not just any beach towel, later in the day we would be going to see a new movie such as Pocahontas or Hunch Back of Notre Dame, she would buy us a towel that matched the movie we were going to see. After Macy's we would go back to her house and watch TV and play until the movie started. Those days were great and I am so glad I have held onto those memories and only wish there had been more days with her.  

15 Day Challenge: Day 3

Tell about an article of clothing that you are deeply attached to.

I am attached to my wedding dress. It is a very simple dress since we got married on the beach I did not feel the need for anything fancy. My wedding was the best day of my life. I keep my dress at my mom's house and maybe when my daughter gets married she can incorporate my dress into her's some how and if not that is fine too. 

15 Day Challenge: Day 2

I am a mom and wife.

I am a huge dog lover.
