Today has been a very productive day for me. I dropped the kids off at school this morning and went grocery shopping, which desperately needed to be done. It started snowing right as I left the grocery store around 11 and it is suppose to snow throughout the night. I'm really not one for snow, but I an really excited to build a snow man with the kids tomorrow. Maybe we will even go sledding!

A juiced some green juice today. Cucumbers, Pears, and Celery. It was a tad green tasting but all in all, good. I'll have to update a few juicing photo's soon. Tonight we have a few friends coming over and we are going to play some Kinect dance on x-box. Should be a really good time!

Today Nathan said something cute. He has repeated it a few times, so leads me to believe his teacher does it at school as well to get the kids attention. So...when he's trying to get my attention and I'm pre-occupied with something else he says "mom, look at my nose!" As soon as I look at his nose he asks me whatever he needed too. How cute is that?! He sure is smart! He knows how to get my attention!

My better self.

Today's been a pretty easy day. The kids had a nice breakfast and painted picture's this morning. All of us have been in a great mood today! The kids had a bath and watched a Disney movie after. I made a few video's today with all the photo's from last year, I will post them soon!

So lately when making personal decisions I have been asking myself this question ... is this really good for my heart and my soul? As strange as a question as that is, I really think it is something we all should ask ourselves daily. Especially when making everyday decisions. If it is beneficial in a positive way and it will make you a better individual then do it.  I've been working out a lot lately, signed up for a few 5k's and mud runs, and I recently started juicing my fruits and vegetables. These few decisions that I have made for myself are truly good for my heart and my soul. All of these things make me feel awesome about myself. There are many things that I did growing up that were not that bright, I know I should have thought decisions out more and weighed their benefits ... but rather than sit and dwell on them and wish I had done things differently in my life and wish things were different, I have decided to push forward and be "my better self."

My FIRST 5k

 Spartan Race 2011

 Teamwork

 Only 70 percent of the people completed this race.

 Took me 2.5 hours to complete

My better self

A whole year has passed

An entire year has passed since I have blogged. I have to make a promise to myself that this will not happen again!

The kids have grown so much! Nathan has really caught up with Kate. They are both in preschool now and they weigh a pound off from each other. Kaitlyn has grown to have a real fascination with animals. One of her favorite channels to watch on TV is Nat Gio Wild. She can sit and tell me about all kinds of animals and what they do.... I can tell its going to follow her as she grows! Nathan, he looks up to Kate. He repeats a lot of what she does and says. He is my little cuddle bug. He is absolutely obsessed with Buzz Light Year and basically anything that has to do with Toy Story. His favorite words are " To Infinity and Beyond! "

As for me, I've been working out in the gym a lot and I also started juicing. I watched a documentary that really inspired me called " Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." I was floored on how those two men changed their lives with juicing. It is extremely important for me to try and follow a healthy lifestyle. It is so much easier said than done. Takes a TON of self discipline and it is definitely not easy at all.

Here are some picture's from throughout 2011
