Happy St. Patty's Day!

Only 1 out of 15 pictures of the girls turned out and still M is not looking!

Instead of doing skirts for St. Patty's day we made shirts!

Tutorial here.

Weekend Project

Shelley from House of Smiths is in the process of redoing her master bathroom.  I decided that we need to redo our bathroom floor, too!  Why?  Because when we moved in, the previous owners didn't tell us that there was a rug stain on the floor.  It has been hidden under our rug, too!

Check out her husband's tutorial here.

It was really easy to do and I love how it turned out.

Cost - $43

Stock Up

I went shopping this weekend and found several places that had their

winter clothes on sale.  My girls don't need any more winter clothes

but they do need some for summer!  

Target had their plain white, long sleeve shirts on sale for $1.50, so I stocked up.  I brought them home, cut off the sleeves, and washed them.  The t-shirt material will not fray.  It gave it a cute finish.  So easy and so inexpensive.

Now when they thrash them it is no big deal because I only spent $1.50!!!

I very carefully unpicked the pocket on one of the shirts (sorry, no pic) before I washed it.  You can't tell it was there. Take your time and make sure you don't leave a hole while unpicking the pocket.

Rewards!!!

When you do something really good do you reward yourself?  I do - it is the only way to get through the pain sometimes.  Well this is crazy but I am a
HUGE McDonald's, VANILLA ICE CREAM CONE LOVER.
When I drive past it it calls my name and the drive through makes it is so convenient.  While running around it is a great snack and it is low fat!!! Even better.  I often find myself driving through even when my girls are asleep in the back seat and treating myself to a little pleasure. 

Well...I have gone 15 days ice cream free. 

I tried to stop last night, on my way to scrapbook with some friends,
but I took to much time at Target and by the time I got done
I didn't have time to run to Mickey D's. 

Have you given up something that you love?  Way to go!!!
It is hard I hope this is worth it. 

*I am hoping that it will help me in my races this summer.

How many days have you gone?  I would love to hear your success.
Leave a comment on what you are doing to better your health. 
Together we can learn from each other!

Need New Running Shoes?

Do you HATE paying a lot for running shoes?  I do!  My sister called me last week and said that she found a website that has great deals on running shoes, clothes, etc.  It also has FREE SHIPPING! 
So I ordered a new pair. 

I got them in 2 days!!!

SO CUTE, RIGHT?

runningwarehouse.com

I got these for $84.95 (no tax) vs. $110 (plus tax) locally.

Also, make sure when checking out to scroll to the bottom of the screen.

They have great deals that you qualify for!

*If you don't know what shoe to get, go to your local running store and ask if they do a foot analysis and then go from there.  Every time I need new shoes I order the exact same pair (just a newer model) because I know they work for me!

Baked Potato Chips

I LOVE POTATO CHIPS

and so do my hips!

I found a way to make them low calorie and delish!

First slice a potato into thin pieces. Lay them on a sprayed (spray butter - love it) pan.

Then spray your potatoes and sprinkle with your choice of spices! 

Cook for 40 min at 375.  Basically until they start to brown.

Soooo Yummy.  My girls love them, too!
