Day 8 of 365 - Lego

This weekend we are just having a quite one - Ty enjoyed playing with his Lego today

Week One Layouts

I couldnt resit making 2 layouts this week

My first one is of my favorite photo of the week

This layout was created using the Free Template over at Gotta Pixel for the Week 1 52 Pixels Challenge. I'm hosting the challenge along with Isabel Mendez - I think this will help me to keep on track with my P365 and hopefully inspire others to do the same xx There is an awesome Kit to be won every 4 weeks !!

I have also scrapped my entire week in photos  xx

Day 7 of 365 - Off to a good start





Woooo Hoooo Week one of project 365 complete

So I'm off to a good start in more ways than one. Todays picture is of my after lunch snack.

Before today after eating lunch I would reach for a piece of cake or some biscuits maybe even a bit of chocolate. Now today I grabbed an apple and pear - plus my fabby kitchen knife that Daddy got me.

So the healthy me has begun .......... Now its time to scrap week one's layout !!



Day 6 of 365 - Back to work !!

I know todays post is quite late in the evening (GMT timezone here)

this would be becuase today was my first day back a work since the twenty-something of December

I thought I'd grab a snap of my desk and my part of the office.

I kept the blinds shut today as the weather was awlful - lots of rain Eeuuggghhhh

Oh well my weekend starts now as I wont be back in the office till Monday. I love working just 2 days a week - enough to keep me sane and feel like an adult but also perfect for being an almost full time stay at home Mum. I love my little man !!!

Day 5 of 365 - Time to get healthy

Todays's Picture - My Shopping list for tomorrow ...

I have started a shopping list for tomorrow (our weekly shop night) of things I want to buy to kick start my new healthy eating .... from Friday !! I've decided the worse day to start something like this is a Monday .... its so long till the weekend and you think - ooooo I'll be naughty then - I want to be good at weekends too so if I start on Friday I'm hoping it encorages me to keep it up through the weekend (as its nearer) - make sense ?? clear as mud ?? I thought so LOL - But hey it makes perfect sense to me and I think it will help me stick to my new goal of eating healthy and trying to shed some lbs !!!

On the list .....

Carrot Sticks - if I buy the carrots and have to peel and chop them myself - i wont bother so i'm cheating and buying them pre done LOL

Ryvita an Philidelphia - Crackers and soft cheese - great for lunch or an evening snack

Flavoured Mayo - I've seen lemon, garlic and roasted tomato flavors - great for dipping my carrot sticks in !!

Apples - Need to eat more fruit and apples is a good start right ?

Crabsticks and Rocket - Great for a little salad at lunchtime or in a sandwich

Brown Bread - to make the afore mentioned sandwich

Water - To put in my water cooler in the fridge door - no more Coke or ribena for me !!

Flavoured teas - Need to cut down on the coffee and more importantly the amount of full fat milk or creamer that i use to make it yummy LOL

Phew ........ Thats it for now - baby steps right ??

I will buy veggies to go with dinners too and low fat dinners rather than naughty ones but thats another post for another day !!



Day 4 of 365 - Ben 10

Todays picture is of Ty playing with his Ben 10 figures

I said in my build up posts to my P365 that some days I might post an inspiring quote, be it profound words or something a bit quirky or funny .......

Well here is my 1st quote for you xx

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
