Peyton is spending time in Chicago with family. While it's nice having a little free time to myself I do not look forward to the drive to go pick her up. It's about 5-6 hours depending on the weather and traffic. And it feels even longer when you are doing it by yourself. This is one area I need help with. It's extremely tempting to stop at a gas station and pick up some junk food or pull off the road and hit up a drive thru. But I'm dedicated to my journey so I planned a head. I brought snacks ...
Send the Kids Back to School with Crayola
I am getting Peyton ready to head back to school. As I look over her school supply list I see of familiar items, including Crayola! Crayola made the back to school list several times. And our school is very particular with what they ask for. From colored pencils to finger paint to crayons and more Crayola has everything you need for back to school. This year, Crayola has a few new fun and exciting products to help the kids get excited to head back into the classroom. When I opened this box ...

Celebrate Summer with FatBoy
Doesn't it feel like summer is just flying by? It seems like just yesterday was the last day of school. It feels like we should still be at the beginning of summer. But were not. School starts in 4 weeks. FOUR WEEKS! Did you get that? In 4 weeks, Peyton will be back in school. Summer will have come to an end. So I'm going to hold on to summer for as long as I can. And for us, that means enjoying as many strawberries as possible. Aren't they the poster child for summer? Strawberries make ...
It’s Going Down!
Yep, you read that right, the scale is going down! After a little over a month of not losing weight, I am finally losing again. I went down 2.5 lbs this week!! But remember last week I had a 2 lb gain so I netted a .5 lb weight loss. To me, that's awesome! I'm so excited! I beat my illness, I'm off antibiotics and steroids and now my weight loss is back on track. What a great way to start August! This week there have been a ton of changes. Peyton has been gone at her Aunts in Chicago, so it's ...
Choosing Your Next Car
Sponsored post. A few months ago I decided we really needed to upgrade our car. We've had it for a few years, it was the first SUV I ever owned and now that I've had it for 4 years I know what I would do differently. Rear climate controls are a must if you have children or pets that ride in the car. I have heard Peyton complain so many times, like nearly everytime she's in the car, that she is either too hot or too cold. But the only way to fix it is for me to blast the air conditioner or ...
