Justin is 6 months old and I finally got around to incorporating him into my blog lol! For Christmas, I asked my parents for a blog makeover and I was lucky enough to receive one.
Becca of Jumping Jax Designs, did my last design which I loved so it was an easy choice of where to go for my next one!
Poor Becca did so wonderfully with me. Between my constant mind and idea changes, different headers, and indecisiveness over fonts and colors, she was able to pull something beautifully out of my crazy mind wanderings!
Click the preview below to check out my renovated new blog! Justin has been added, my blog content is much bigger and clean with a focus more on a larger area for content and pictures, and great new links on top!
Are you looking for a great designer to makeover your blog, website, or make invitations or birth announcements? I can't sing Becca's praises enough! Plus she's a fellow mommy (with the cutest family ever) and it feels awesome to support small businesses.
I can't wait to have her design another kid onto here someday :P
It's a new year and a new you! If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I'm on a weightloss mission. My resolutions this year have definitely centered around losing weight and staying healthy. I'm always looking for new and exciting things to add to my daily list of things I can eat and drink. For the most part I drink water all day long, but let's face it.. that can get boring fast. Enter Trop50..
What is Trop50 you ask?
Trop50 got its name as a result of the marriage of Tropicana and “50 percent” less sugar and calories. Tropicana Trop50 is a breakthrough innovation from Tropicana that offers 50 percent less sugar and calories, and no artificial sweeteners. Trop50 is the first juice beverage to be naturally sweetened with an all-natural stevia-based sweetener. Trop50 is designed to help manage weight goals by offering reduced sugar and calories, without sacrificing great taste.
At 50 calories per eight-ounce glass, Trop50 not only tastes great, but helps you feel good. Each 8-ounce glass of Trop50 squeezes in a full day’s supply of vitamin C and is also a good source of antioxidant vitamin E.
• Trop50 is available in Orange (No Pulp, Some Pulp and Calcium + Vitamin D), Farmstand Apple, Pomegranate Blueberry, Pineapple Mango, Lemonade and Raspberry Lemonade.
• Trop50 Orange juice beverages also are a good source of potassium and antioxidant vitamin A.
• Pineapple Mango provides a good source of potassium.
We got to try the Lemonade flavor, and with 50% less sugar and calories, I was scared. Lemonade isn't exactly a drink that is usually enjoyed with limited sugar, but guess what.. it was really good! Now I won't feel guilty when I'm so over drinking water and can drink juice with a clear conscience!
To celebrate these awesome, healthy ways to stay healthy, Trop50 wants to give YOU a chance to win a $50 Spa and Wellness Gift Card which can be used at 100s of spas nationwide! Check out http://spaweek.com for participating spas near you! Meanwhile, go out and try one of these great Trop50 flavors and come back and let me know what you think!
It's the final countdown, do do do do do! Am I going to be happy at 115? Am I going to have a hard time maintaining? These are all going through my mind now that I'm getting so close. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!
Let's see how I did this week!
Starting Weight: 124 lbs
Current Weight: 122.4 lbs
Weight Loss This Week: - 1.6 lbs
I'm very happy with my loss this week! I'm starting to really be happy with what I look like, even if I'm still impatient to have a perfectly flat belly ASAP ;) I will do pictures and an extensive post on how I did this when I hit my goal as a celebration!
I've received so many great comments and emails from so many of you which I love! I decided to add a linky to my site, so if you'd like to join in and track your goals and progress, promote your posts here! I can't wait to read what your goals and weightloss plans are!
We live in Florida, so when the temperature drops to the 30s and 40s, we all dress up like Eskimos. Here is my littlest babe all bundled up to go pick his big brother up from the bus stop on one of those cold days
Practicing sitting, which he is so good at now!
When Jake comes home, he always wants to help teach Justin everything!
My blue eyed beauty. What's the necklace? It's an amber teething necklace.. jury is still out on if it's working or not, but in any case it's cute ;)
The weather is super warm this week, so Justin got to wear short sleeves to the bus stop on Monday
On our way to pick up Jake
Jake is always so excited to see us Justin!
He knows he has to either hold my hand or the stroller when we cross the road so he always picks the stroller and walks with Justin
Jake got a surprise in the mail the other day from his Grandma in Norway, he was so happy!
Showing off his new firetruck
The boys watching the truck drive up and down the living area
Pressing the drive forward button and running for his life lol
