Morning Time

My schedule has changed since going back to school. To help maximize my time with my little girl, Liza and my hubby.  I have been doing a few little things that make a huge difference. The first thing I do is get up at 5:00! Yes, thats early. I usually wake up with a big cup of coffee while reading some daily devotions.

What I am reading now !

Then around 5:30 am I get my work out on! I try to run at least twice during the week and once on the weekends! The other days I tone. I love the Tone It Up Girls! They have the best videos that you can do at home. Many are free, but my favorite is their dvd. You can download it and start your workout    right away!

The next thing I am doing a better job at is meal planning. I am planning all my dinners for the week on Saturday or Sunday morning. I try to plan a taco night, pasta night, slow cooker meal,  and a veggie meal.  I bought a magnetic schedule for the fridge to help with organizing my weekly meals.

A positive attitude and most importantly a smile. Even through the craziness! 

I leave you with this.

first post

I finally did it! I have been wanting to start my blog for a long time now. I will be posting everything from teacher ideas to mommy posts to life posts.  I can't wait to get started. This is the week that my fun summer mommy life changes to my mommy and teacher life. To get me through the week I am living by this quote:

"The secret to being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of it everyday"
