How to stay motivated....

I need to know how to stay motivated. I always start things out with good intentions but end up fizzling out on the task at hand (as you probably already notice). I know that everyone in this work is busy and I frequently ask my self how people get things done. I have my two boys, the husband, work full time, and squeeze my self in there too. Between soccer, baseball, cooking, errands, weekend tasks, holidays, birthdays, more sports, family/friends expectations, etc....how do you keep this sane?

Easy wedding gift

Buy the new couple a set of silverware and add "I do" and "me too" or even their wedding date to the silverware.

Day 5 LC

Today's lunch was left over dinner from last night. Shrimp scampi pasta. I am not a big fan of seafood but every once and while I will eat it. My family LOVES seafood though. Note there is only 3 shrimp for my lunch. :) I added some aged sharp cheddar cheese (local WI cheese) and steamed broccoli. Yum yum!!

Day 4 of lunch

Today I decided to make my self breakfast for lunch. Lol! Pancakes, eggs (mainly whites) with zucchini and red pepper flakes, and fresh peaches. Yum! I also am taking the left over zucchini for a snack.

Best Cure for a Sun burn

Over the weekend we went out on the river. We put on lots of sunblock but my husband didn't put any on right away like the rest of us. Little to say he got burnt. His whole back, shoulders, and chest is red like a lobster. He tends to do this every summer though so I was well prepared. This cure will take the heat out of e burn. You will still be red for a few days but you won't hurt. Very important MAKE SURE IT COOLS FULLY BEFORE APPLYING!

Tea Bag Burn Out:
3 cups boil water
3 bags of tea (any brand)

2. Add your tea bags. Let sand until cool. You may also put it in the freezer or refrigerator until the tea is fully cool.
3. place your rag or paper towel into tea. Ring out tea and place on burn. Keep repeating every 5-7 minutes for an hour.
***the tea will stain for make sure your wearing old clothes or put a towel down***

Per summer fun out on the boat

We took the boat out this weekend for the first time. I brought a Punic basket with snacks. Cracker, cheese, trail mix, hot dogs, pb&j sands, string cheese, and of course lots of beverages. I am loving my new insulated picnic basket I bought my self for my birthday.

My husband bought a boat

My husband came home with a boat tonight. That's going to be trouble....lol!
