Walk KS Challenge

Over the next two months I am taking part Walk KS, and I’m ready for the challenge. We have a great team lead by my dear friend Stacey, and many MOPS Mommies are on the team too. I hope to keep motivated, eat better, and get healthier.

Saturday we went to the Walk KS kick-off and my boys really learned a lot! Thade was even better about eating his veggies at dinner time last night, thanks to a motivational speaker named Rich. If Walk KS can get Thade to eat his fruits and veggies than it is well worth it!

I Think We Can Call It Spring

We changed the clocks for Daylight Savings Time this weekend, and this morning we woke up to Tornado Sirens and a Tornado Warning at 6:30 a.m. I guess you can officially call it Spring in the Midwest.

A Sudden Snowstorm

Well the rumors held true, today we woke up to snow. I know it is still Winter, but I was really ready for Spring to get here.

My hubby brought me home big plastic drop cloths so I could cover the flower beds in the front yard. I thought I had done a pretty good job, but it looks like the wind caught a spot and blew the cover off of a few of my daffodils. I hope they’ll make it.

Hopefully the snow won’t stick around too long. What does your weather look like today?

This Just Isn’t Fair

Yesterday it was 60s and Sunny, and today it is 25 and snow is on the way. That just isn’t right… I guess Winter has to show its face one more time this season. I’m going to go and get some plastic drop cloths to cover the Tulips and Daffodils.

Oh a happier note, Thade was excited to go to preschool today. They are studying the letter H and today the kiddos could wear a favorite Hat. Thade (of course) is wearing his Kevin Harvick hat, and Dylan had to wear a Kasey Kahne hat too.

It is going to be a busy day today, and I’ve got a few errands to run, even though it is cold outside.

Happy Friday to all!

I Think I Could Live At The Day Spa

Tuesday I was treated to an extra special Birthday Present! I got to spend the afternoon being pampered at the Courtland Day Spa, thanks to my best friend Shaunna and my Mom too. The girl’s had the entire afternoon planned for me, and I had the best time.

The Courtland Day Spa is located in the historic Courtland Hotel. The Day Spa features AVEDA products, along with Manicures/Pedicures, Massages, Facials, Spa Treatments, and full Salon and Make-Up services too.

I loved the beautiful woodwork throughout the Hotel, and the gorgeous pressed tin ceilings in the Day Spa.

My Mom and Shaunna treated me to a one hour massage, a pedicure, and I also got my hair styled too. It was such a fun and relaxing afternoon, and the service at the Spa is amazing. I felt so much better after the massage, and I loved the pedicure. I learned some great styling tips for my hair too. I’m pretty sure I could spend every day at the Day Spa, if only my hubby would let me…


My new Blue Toes!

How I wish my hair could look this awesome everyday!

The trip to the Courtland Day Spa was so wonderful, and very relaxing too. I really appreciated the great gift from my Mom and Shaunna too.  I think I’m going to treat myself to a Springtime manicure very soon.
