</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am glad I took him out when I did because it is already melted. We are approaching the end of January and we have had one fluke crazy snowfall in October...3 days before McKenna was born and this one we just had. This is very rare for the Poconos. Usually we have snow on the ground the whole month of January and February. I enjoy being warm, but I want to build a snowman before the winter is over! :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_31-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_31-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_30-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_30-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_27-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_27-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_22-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_22-1.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_21-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_21-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_18-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/20120123_18-1.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I feel like a diet is something that you do for a short period of time to get a quick result, only to pack the pounds back on. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am counting calories, I am learning about food. What makes me full, what makes me sluggish, what makes me fell energized. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have decided I am not going to forbid myself of any foods but instead limit myself. For instance I use to drink soda daily, now I may have 1 glass a week.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been doing this since January 1st and have lost 11 pounds! :) Slowly but surely I will get rid of the weight. I am not looking for a quick solution... after all a new years resolution is something that you want to accomplish within the year. According to my calendar I still have a little over 340 days to accomplish my goal weight. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am also hoping to start working out. I wanted to start working out and eating healthy together, but being a mother of 2 young ones does make that difficult.... and I like crafting more then working out! LOL I have to work on time management! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/weight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l520/Jaime_Maynor/weight.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I found this while pinning on pinterest this week and I LOVE IT!</div><br />

<b>Did you make a New Years resolution?</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Are you still sticking to it?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> Do you have any tips to stay motivated?</b></div>Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442395722627710291noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992603993669878422.post-24220271027322121552012-01-20T11:35:00.000-08:002012-01-20T11:35:02.322-08:00photo a day dilemmaI realized I have been slacking on posting a photo a day. I do not want to give up taking a photo a day. I like the idea of photo a day, it makes me put the camera in my hand everyday which I love to do. I just don't enjoy posting a new photo everyday. I feel like the post is boring with one photo, and many times I would like to post about other things... and I only want to post once a day.<br />
<br />
So here is my conclusion= I will take a photo everyday corresponding to that day's topic and I will post my photo a day photos on Fridays. <br />
<br />
So here they all are! :) Hope you enjoy.<br />

I love Lady Antebellum! :) 9 years ago when I first met my husband I remember him listening to some country music. I also remember constantly changing the radio station to listen to more pop music. As the years past it grew on me. I also believe the music has changed and isn't so honky tonk anymore. Now that's kinda all I listen too. I know I should change my Sirius radio station every once in a while, but I am too comfortable listening to country. And to think I use to live about 30 minutes from the country music capital of the world. Back then I couldn't have cared less about Nashville. Now I love the south, would love to move to either of the Carolinas, Georgia, or Tennessee. I think deep down I want to be a southern women with a pitcher of lemonade in my hand and an apron on. I know I'm weird! lol<br />

I basically do not know how to use it, but I do shoot 99% of my stuff in manual mode. I figured I'm not going to learn anything in automatic mode! :) I have decided to do a photo a day. I am starting late but oh well. That's the way the world works sometimes...especially when you have kids.<br />

Logan my 19 month old did not want to sleep for some reason. He isn't sick he just did not was to sleep in his crib. My husband and I put him down to sleep at his normal bedtime a few minutes later I heard over the baby monitor his leapfrog my pal scout was going off, over and over, and over and over. I just thought Logan must have been laying on him. I went in his room. BIG MISTAKE! My intentions were to go in his room and pull scout out from under Logan. This was not the case, Logan was half asleep pushing on Scouts paw. Once Logan saw me he immediately wanted to get out of his crib. Crying, screaming, the works. I am not a cry it out parent. I just can't do it. It breaks my heart. I scooped him up in my arms tried to hush him down, rocked him in my arms... even though he is getting huge! ( i still love it!) Tried to put him back down and he wasn't having any part in that. My husband put him down an hour later after watching a little of the Despicable Me movie. I actually went to bed at 11ish! That's early for me. I had an early start time the next morning. Getting a 19 month old and a 2 month old ready and out the door by 8:00 am for a doctors appointment by myself is a project. Also not very easy considering my children usually LOVE to sleep.<br />
<br />
I was awaken by my sons cries over the monitor. At the 1am hour. He was wide awake for some reason, he was not acting sick, nor tired. He just wanted to get up and play. After a few attempts to get him calmed down and relaxed enough to go to sleep, my husband was able to put him down around 5am- Only to wake up a short hour and a half later. I am not a coffee drinker, never have, I am sure I never will so to get up at 6:30 and start the day is rough for me. Usually my children sleep til 8:30 am at least.<br />
<br />
Got McKenna my 2 month old daughter ready, and then had to wake up my son out of his sleep and to get him ready... after he only had a few hours of sleep. Got him ready, kids in car-check, diaper bag full and in car-check, double stroller in car-thanks to my husband check. In the car ride my son looked like a zombie half awake starring at me while we drove to the doctors.<br />
<br />
Checked in at the doctors and what do you know my appointment is for the 11th not the 4th! You gotta be kidding me! My appointment card looks like it says "4" apparently not. im sorry but the number 11is two parallel lines and they should not touch like a 4 does! LOL Luckily the office was able to squeeze me in and in a very timely manner. I do love my children's pediatrician. <br />
<br />
McKenna's check up went very well. She is a healthy happy chubby, long baby! :) Logan was hysterically crying in between the check up and the shots. Crying so bad he became blotchy. He is very rarely cranky, I tried a snack, and some milk, and a binky... it all landed on the floor. AH HA! I spotted a children's book under the patient table! My sanity saver! <br />
<br />
After we got out of the office he was an angel... He just needed sleep. Mommy will take full blame for interrupting his half way to falling asleep state the night before as well as waking him up earlier then he normally does.<br />

I figured there is no better day to start a blog then today. I need to channel everything that is going on in my world into something that I can look back on. I feel like my days and night go by to fast, I need to blog. I have to. Even though I do not know much at all about blogging, and my blog looks generic and ugly I am okay with that for now. Usually it would irritate me, but rather then saying I don't know what I'm doing, I'm gonna give up. I am going to deal with the ugly-mess.<br />
<br />
There are many thing I want to blog about. I look forward to post about kids, diet, crafting, decorating, couponing, and possibly photography. Yea its pretty much all over the place, but lets face it -that's the way I roll. :)Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442395722627710291noreply@blogger.com2
