Florals are of course, very popular in warmer months and this Spring is no exception…

I can’t wait for warmer temps, and decided to break out this wool and angora sweater I thrifted awhile ago and had not worn. 

I think this outfit really met the mood of my day, a subdued cold Monday that even saw snow flurries…

Mondays are so hard to face these days with my teen home-schooler sleeping in rather late and not wanting to do school work….

I really liked these muted tones that come off as an outfit of neutrals and the warmth of the sweater and the vest.  

A perfect Mom on the Go look for grocery shopping…

I not only went grocery shopping for my family, but also picked some Muscle Milk for one of my husband’s sales reps…

After a few weeks of eating on the road, one of the reps  began  noticing some weight gain and that my dear husband stocks his office frig with Muscle Milks, protein bars and Special K yogurt bars…  So funny that his habits have  extended to his employees…  My husband got into this habit when on the road working longer hours  and I must say it works for him as his weight barely fluctuates…

I do love having him home at normal dinner hours these days…

Dear Readers, I began the week off right by baking a dish my father use to make of summer squash , canned diced tomatoes, baked with Italian seasoning and served with Parmesan cheese,  YUUMM and memories of my father, priceless… I also received my “Rockin Body” dance workout program from Shaun T, that I plan to begin tomorrow!  The first day is just 15 minutes long but they rapidly add two workouts programs a day which become  45 to 55 minutes… They recommend working out 6 days a week and taking off on Sunday… I, however plan to do this three days a week and add in some strength training 3 days a week as well…  I am looking forward to seeing my progress just in time for Spring!!!!

Gratitude

I am grateful that my dear husband still surprises me with flowers like he did last night, when I wasn’t feeling well and he took the boys out to allow me to get some rest.

I am grateful that my daughter began work today and was offered a second job there, giving her more hours as she finally got herself out of a disorganized mess of a job…

I am grateful for switching to doing a concentrated effort on only one subject each day with homeschooling… 

I am grateful that my son graciously allowed  me to use his laptop since my desktop is messing up today…

I am grateful that I planned a vegetarian dinner of stuffed shells today, when my oldest was around to enjoy it…

I am grateful that my children thank me for dinner nightly  and never forget or seem to take me for granted.
