Look Mom! My room is clean!

Those that know me, especially my Mom, know that I was never the tidiest of people. My room was ALWAYS messy. Unless of course, my Mom told me I had to clean my room or I couldn't go out with my friends. Then it was a 2 hour cleaning job (and hiding stuff under the bed and in drawers).
     Flash forward 8 years and I have my own home with my husband and two daughters. My home is now something I take pride in. Even though there still are some days were things are not in place (we have a 2 year old and 5 year old-you can imagine the messes), for the most part our house is very clean. My husband and I take turns with certain household jobs. I do most of them since I am the stay at home parent, but he is great about helping me when he gets home from work. I feel very lucky in that area. My husband hates to dust, which is great because that is my favorite chore! He helps with laundry and I make sure to have dinner ready for him when he gets home from work. And I love the smell of a freshly cleaned kitchen. ME?! Enjoying cleaning?! Yes, I guess it is true. After years of growing up and owning a home of your own, things definitely change. :) My Mom would be so proud.

Train Like a Beast, Look Like a Beauty

        Flashback to my high school years and I was running on average six miles a day, five or six days a week, as well as lifting. Good ole cross-country! To say the least, I haven't really kept up with that regimen. I have been randomly working out or going on little spurts of daily exercise over the years, but never really fully dedicated myself to training. Just recently, one of my best friends and I started working out everyday before the sun even comes up. It was extremely hard to get out of bed that early, especially since I am NOT a morning person at all. But we are now on our third week of working out and it feels so great! I hope I can keep this momentum going and just feel healthier all around.       Sometimes all you need to push yourself that extra mile is the perfect workout song. When I was in cross-country, I remember always listening to fast paced and sometimes even outright angry music to get pumped up before the race. Currently my favorite workout songs are:

Swisher Sweeties in Frankenmuth, MI

Image
     After coming home from a long work weekend, and being curled up on the couch watching TV with my husband and youngest daughter, I realized I haven't been keeping up much with my blog. We have all been extremely busy lately. Thursday morning, I left for my Swisher promotional job and headed to Detroit. The hotel was gorgeous! In the restaurant area they had a live jazz band and extremely tasty food. I enjoyed sitting and listening to them for a couple hours.  The next morning, I headed towards Frankenmuth, MI where the Country Fest would be going on for the next couple of days. The environment was so much fun. Live bands, cowboys and cowgirls for 6/7 hours a day with the other Swisher girls. We had a blast. Saturday, since we didn't have to be at work until 6,  the three of us girls got to explore Frankenmuth a little. Even though it was very chilly out, we wandered around cute shops and restaurants. The Fall season was definitely in the air.    We wo
