{ Wardrobe Inspiration - Love! )

When I was at my Grandparent's for Christmas, I really enjoyed watching " Fashion Hunters" TV show on Bravo.  I love looking at high - end clothes, although in real life, i can't afford them!  Anyway, this week's wardrobe inspiration is based on my Love for Pink! I plan on doing Romantic Wardrobe Inspirations for the next few weeks. Have fun!

{ Fit And Fabulous - Update 1 )

Some of my New Year's Resolutions involved Losing weight, Eating better, feeding my son healthier, working out....you know things like that! Actually, I should make a blog tab with all of my New Year's Resolutions, so I can keep track of them!  Here is how it is going so far.

Working Out
- Eric and I have been doing " The 30 Day Shred" with Jillian Michael's on DVD. We aren't doing it in 30 days though, that is just unrealistic for us! This week we did it 3 nights. We started doing it in November, and I can feel my endurance getting much better! It's really nice being able to do it together! Even little Samuel starts jumping around when he sees me getting ready to do it!

Losing Weight

- I have lost about 3 pounds since the beginning of the year. Hoping for more!

Eating Healthier

- I really want to drink water for at least lunch each day. I did pretty well with that this week! I had more sweets than I needed though. My goal is to only eat 3 desserts a week!

Feeding Samuel Healthier

-I feed him eggs and cheese every morning for breakfast. Lunch and dinner we did okay. He didn't really like the carrots I steamed for his late night snack. But last night I cut up fresh pinapple to give him, and he LOVED it! This biggest issue here is my remembering to have healthy food on hand that he likes!


I'm looking forward to the week ahead!
