So our day change, it went from a day filled with fun tricks to a day spent in the immediate care getting x-rays making sure fingers weren't broken. Thankfully they weren't broken but we did miss out on our last day of spring break festivities. Now they're been extended to today and tomorrow. We were supposed to rollerskating then go to this awesome chicken finger place called The Village in Schaumburg Illinois. Due to the injuries and the extended a visit at the ER, needless to say, we did not make those activities. So we will be going to The Village today, Saturday and rollerskating tomorrow, pending finger healing.</div><div><br></div><div> But I did get one last prank in which was the girl cheese prank! One of my favorite to try and the kids fell for it. They did not want to eat grilled cheese is and I was like " Just eat it! I don't want to waste them! "They ate him and guess what it was cake and frosting!!!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakSYWnyKvPm1Fwin5mjm5VLqyl7woSxSMpQkmEU8_fPSuuvc7QNbgP3jBrGhp6fZgl0ubuj_Wr0kqyRo9ZSifSooUlZR5Y_oYL-sWTXqmCvv-aXHZVE3KTycsmcm6izSkgvlIOjGnMjzU/s640/blogger-image-790770185.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakSYWnyKvPm1Fwin5mjm5VLqyl7woSxSMpQkmEU8_fPSuuvc7QNbgP3jBrGhp6fZgl0ubuj_Wr0kqyRo9ZSifSooUlZR5Y_oYL-sWTXqmCvv-aXHZVE3KTycsmcm6izSkgvlIOjGnMjzU/s640/blogger-image-790770185.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Fine...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqnUD-0J1XYUN86fIReDVHYBsXC2pKoknbd4bgSDpAfBpOjrSnPK2xuM38vjTmLSsQ4WjjEQBldQjNg6Z7DqStogpW7b9T2MRc9KQJy6dQdnFIPN4RMaQbrxSD1EHeu3d1rog2QqA-BZK/s640/blogger-image--1502206236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiqnUD-0J1XYUN86fIReDVHYBsXC2pKoknbd4bgSDpAfBpOjrSnPK2xuM38vjTmLSsQ4WjjEQBldQjNg6Z7DqStogpW7b9T2MRc9KQJy6dQdnFIPN4RMaQbrxSD1EHeu3d1rog2QqA-BZK/s640/blogger-image--1502206236.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ohhhhh!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivaJ75pTNvCFsnpimnkEkER8R6_oIU9ynbJWRkVA7YV8hZ78OX-3Oz0Rt9rmZMBQDwSWOXyG0SI3mE8KpvU7FRP2Fih44HBhocFkJ2az_lh-WVJWggECT5e1LnSicuOZ5n9ExsP0koFz2C/s640/blogger-image--1256282547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivaJ75pTNvCFsnpimnkEkER8R6_oIU9ynbJWRkVA7YV8hZ78OX-3Oz0Rt9rmZMBQDwSWOXyG0SI3mE8KpvU7FRP2Fih44HBhocFkJ2az_lh-WVJWggECT5e1LnSicuOZ5n9ExsP0koFz2C/s640/blogger-image--1256282547.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yummmm!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRcYCHm9KcMBh2WzjQDgp88IRrJziFe_PQyHS69DJOSz799JXp7naXUkWi8vkcru8WkRPvZThtpgEzMFpOiLA3PmhE2QRKfxtW6EYZ5tCo2IOjJr_m6YqTdEYqqTKAHU4JUlCqcW55dXW8/s640/blogger-image--582547193.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRcYCHm9KcMBh2WzjQDgp88IRrJziFe_PQyHS69DJOSz799JXp7naXUkWi8vkcru8WkRPvZThtpgEzMFpOiLA3PmhE2QRKfxtW6EYZ5tCo2IOjJr_m6YqTdEYqqTKAHU4JUlCqcW55dXW8/s640/blogger-image--582547193.jpg"></a></div><br></div>It was good "grilled cheese!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hope you enjoyed your April 1st!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Kelly</div><br></div>Mrs. Steelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00109893398933544490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804306912757586155.post-18236305488302612412016-04-01T08:54:00.001-07:002016-04-01T08:54:40.018-07:00So the day begins!!!!

I have a fun Halloween craft that is soooo easy, inexpensive and can be done in less that 30 min. It took me about 15 to make. So fast, sun and easy I made two and have the stuff for a 3rd! It'd be a great Halloween gift and easy enough for the kiddos. Definitely help them with the glue though! ;) Check it out below!</div>

All my materials were from Dollar Tree but you could get them anywhere- JoAnns, Michael's, Hobby lobby, etc. You could add more or less given your taste!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I used was a foam a foam wreath, 2 boas, a roll of ribbon, an owl and same bats. You will need hot glue to attach everything.</div>

First, I wrapped the ribbon about the foam wreath. It gives a little color under the feathers in case the feather don't completely cover the wreath. This was not the best color to have but it worked. On my other wreath I used ribbon that was not see through.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nest wrap the two boas around the wreath. I wrap them side by side rather than end to end. You need to hot glue each of the boa ends down, wrap and glue when fully wrapped. Before adding dabs of glue to hold feathers in place, fluff them to cover all parts of the wreath.</div>

Next add in your main decoration. I added the owl here. It was a little tricky getting him to stick but with enough persistence and hot glue he stuck. And BONUS, he has light up eyes. SO I had to be especially be careful not to glue the on/off button. </div>

Anyways, I'm using it as a deterrent. I've in the past put it in their shampoo. But tonight I forgot and blow dried Olivia's hair. Too late for the shampoo, so I decided to dilute it into a spray bottle. I don't want straight oil on my daughters hair but I don't want to send her defenseless. So... I diluted it with water. Yes- oil and water. Not sure how it would work obviously they separate. But, I was able to figure a quick solution. </div>

I vigorously shook the spray bottle with a 4:1 water: oil mixture. Sprayed immediately on her hair, as I would hairspray. It smelled of Tea Tree oil which works for me! </div>

So we all chose food to bring (which we ended up withe waaaaay to much food). Who want to bring to salads- blahhhhh. Two salad, freezy alcoholic beverage and cookies- YES! two salads- NO! Anyways, take a look at what I did! Hope you enjoy!</span></div>

You can get them at Five Below if you have those near you! Also, a sleeping mask, flat plastic princess flask, Chap-stick, Kleenex, nail file, fun cocktail umbrella and w wine glass charm each with their own color high heel! </span></div>

I went to BodyCombat tonight, which, by the way, I LOVE! Our cool down song was this song Somewhere in the World Tonight by Altiyan Childs. And I feel in love. "Somewhere in the world tonight, Somewhere in the world tonight there is no indifference, everyone has a voice... I believe there is a place where rich and poor can walk side by side..." The lyrics just got me. It is a beautiful song. Please take a minute and check it out. I love it. AMAZING!!! Let me know what you think!<br />

So the other day I was introduced to S'mores- fire not needed. Which is great because I am kinda a sucky S'mores maker! I burn the mellow, set it on fire or it is raw. Ugh! A friend at work brought stuff for S'mores and set it out in the lounge. I was confused, no idea what she wanted us to do. I wasn't going to eat an uncooked S'more...bllllaahhhhh... I called her and asked if she was losing her marbles! She informed me to heat that bad boy for 30ish (more/less depending on the microwave) seconds in the microwave!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;">I tried it and it was sooo good, chocolate ran everywhere. So yummy! </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;">I decided this would be a fun event for the kiddos! So you will see how we rocked it out with No Fire Needed S'mores!</span><br />

Like SUPER bad. Really bad. When I looked online fro prices I was looking at $60 per CUSHION! We have 6 chairs- 3 cushions each. The deep ones. Yeah, I got the set for free I did not want to spend $600ish on cushions when for a little more I could get a brand new set. The set we got FREE is $800 at Menards. So I pinterested recovering out door cushions. I found a ton of tutorials. Some claim to be 'easy' but when looking at them, they were not easy to follow at all. At least not for a novice like me! After awhile I found a GREAT tutorials at...<br>

<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My steps were as follows: my material would not work to do as confessions of a serial Diyer intended. Yes, I could have used 11/2-2 yds per cushion but I'm looking for CHEAP. So each of the 12 cushions get 1 yard! Cheap, frugal- whatever! Saving myself another $60!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Finish 1 of the long edges- the 3ft side- not 54" side. This edge will be the front of the cushion, so make sure you finish the proper edge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I didn't pin but you could! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN53QITNWqPimsxYKsO8v5SvpmmB3jCwwopxwrVeuBOUOK25I2UMkwzuKmCKXn4i8lt7kYUQyTyfZmvjPU5kPXVMgmbMyuPb2tVy3WwfrGkIhySHTGBExXiqmEV5WRqHjXtylIpkimofnH/s640/blogger-image-194979411.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN53QITNWqPimsxYKsO8v5SvpmmB3jCwwopxwrVeuBOUOK25I2UMkwzuKmCKXn4i8lt7kYUQyTyfZmvjPU5kPXVMgmbMyuPb2tVy3WwfrGkIhySHTGBExXiqmEV5WRqHjXtylIpkimofnH/s640/blogger-image-194979411.jpg"></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finished. Not perfect... But it'll work! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next lay the cushion on the bright side of the fabric... The front of the cushion facing sewed side. Pinch and pin the fabric so it's pulled tightly against the cushion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Remember- the side you sewed a nice edge will be the FRONT of cushion)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew your pinched and pinned seam. I always pinned knowing I'm going to sew on the side of the pin away from white part. So the cushion material was tight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFS9dr3XZCUWUOFvGBXPg9M1rgKIeKj0JGfDSuNzwOCyWQZTUS7XKfPo2-1EK3GTpvlkB3xJ0qMQfliGb37zHMXlb15i1gmrDOLuMMRZ3wrttIgLCL7Qr0K-qketIz_09ZTINmKGvTJyL/s640/blogger-image--1414936277.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFS9dr3XZCUWUOFvGBXPg9M1rgKIeKj0JGfDSuNzwOCyWQZTUS7XKfPo2-1EK3GTpvlkB3xJ0qMQfliGb37zHMXlb15i1gmrDOLuMMRZ3wrttIgLCL7Qr0K-qketIz_09ZTINmKGvTJyL/s640/blogger-image--1414936277.jpg"></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the cushion in to your sewn fabric. Fabric should still be inside out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pinch and pin the unsewn edge shut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Right now you're making the back of the cushion cover.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then sew.you should have a pillowcase looking thing!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now you're going to pinch and pin again. Put the cushion inside the inside out pillow case you've just made. Make sure the seam is in the CENTER of the underneath of the cushion. The front of the cushion should be facing the opening of the 'pillowcase.'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it's all lined up pinch the 2 corners to form a triangle.<br>

Summer went fastMy goal was to blog like crazy! Get this thing going and guess what?! Didn't happen and I know I am taking my readers on a roller-coaster ride and for that I am sorry! We just moved and went on 3 different vacations- too many. Fun but too many. Our house purchase was a short sale and that was a nightmare. IT needed so much work, meaning endless nights.<br />
<br />
School is starting up- for me- next week. Wednesday- what?!?!?!? So crazy. But in a few weeks My daughter starts kindergarten. I am looking for organizational tools. I need to. I will not survive. We have a new nanny coming in for our 2 year old. I love her dearly, but it's different. With the m ove we switched gyms. I know it sounds nuts, but I miss my peeps. Life is hectic and as I look to organize I will make time to blog- weekly- hopefully more than once. I want to be on top of it and at times I don't.<br />
<br />
One bit of info I want to share with you is this app- PERISCOPE. Really cool. Live real time streaming. I have been following a few peeps. My favorite is Chalene. IT's a chance to see the world through another's eyes. So cool. I will get on there...soon! Look for me :)<br />
Peace out guys! Please follow me to see my most updated posts. THERE WILL BE MORE!<br />
xxoo<br />

You use fitness balls and drums stick to kill massive amounts of calories! They claim up to 500 per hour...I'm thinking it COULD BE more. I did almost an hour and my heart rate monitor went- BAM up to 474!!!

<span style="color: #e06666;">So, last night Chad came home and had a delicious drink recipe I HAD to share. I love coconut, Pina Colada, stuff like that. His friend had told him about the Ciroc Coconut Vodka. Chad hates coconut but wanted to try it so we hit the liquor store- wishing it was Friday yet it was only Wednesday- boooo!!! I picked up the Ciroc vodka and pineapple juice. Mixed it up- yum! Then did a shot- it was surprisingly delicious! The bottle was $30, so I hoped it'd be good! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Recipe- here ya go!!!</span><br />

<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hey guys!!!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> So I have an
awesome new love interest to share with you. It's called <a href="http://meanstinks.com/" target="_blank">Mean Stinks</a>- a girls
anti-bully campaign by Secret. I came across it when I signed up to be a Girls
on the Run coach. The ladies there had blue pinkies and I was like what was
that for? And so I googled it when I got home to see what the blue pinky
deal was. And <a href="http://meanstinks.com/" target="_blank">MeanStinks.com</a> showed up from swab, I watched the videos and read
a little about it. I LOVED it. It's
definitely geared towards high school kids because that's where a lot of the
bullying happens and girls can be very mean. Buuuut since I liked it I thought…
I could totally do something with this with my daughter. She's five and even
girls at her age are mean so I came up with something more age appropriate for
her. Here’s what I did:<span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 13.553334236145px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">First, I got the book the recess queen. We read it together and as we read we talked about bullying and how to treat other kids. I generalized to kids rather than just other girls- due to her age. We talked about the characters, how they were acting in the story and how the other kids in the story felt. Every couple pages, we tried to make connections to her school and friends. I really wanted to emotionally relate to the story and the idea behind it.</span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; line-height: 13.553334236145px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I showed her a couple of the clips of the Mean Stinks campaign. We talked about the videos and what was happening and things she could do in her school and with her friends. After that, we agreed that we would be nice to other people and other kids and that we would paint our pinkies blue to show that we believe in being nice to everybody and that...</span></span><br />

Tired of flashcards???<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Check out this "magic trick" you child will LOVE! My favorite OT gave me the idea for this and I thought I'd pass it along.<br />
<br />
All you need is:<br />
A permanent marker<br />
A Sharpie<br />
A Q-tip<br />
and<br />
Something covered in aluminium foil ( this is a VHS tape- FINALLY a use for those honkers!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, have your child write the desired word or problem with Permanent marker. Be sure to supervise, I'm sure you don't want their work permanently on your table cloth or clothes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMjZIjsy73mBmp5SSRfuVeLAQe0Vh0qGuR6320gbEG9SrGXUel3m9est38dY-99d3ErLDEpGeiiqPzEsuoag8qQRrX5gcPqAUZW47F4b3Ygr-F84HPzJJqxGtV9C_Fh-oONiOlwojW8xz/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMjZIjsy73mBmp5SSRfuVeLAQe0Vh0qGuR6320gbEG9SrGXUel3m9est38dY-99d3ErLDEpGeiiqPzEsuoag8qQRrX5gcPqAUZW47F4b3Ygr-F84HPzJJqxGtV9C_Fh-oONiOlwojW8xz/s1600/7.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next have the child GO OVER the Sharpie with the Expo marker</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyf0QsCRRFwQdqUBjJBUQW3HeOyNQfsguvfPNSbBw4WTxfm328n83UjRKKDH2xl48El_qEs8hGZ55BPZ9Ntq9PVsCeTL1zCarlpxnKHr0nIr-20C82DTdWnQSps5S-0UIEKBk0tCyINpFr/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyf0QsCRRFwQdqUBjJBUQW3HeOyNQfsguvfPNSbBw4WTxfm328n83UjRKKDH2xl48El_qEs8hGZ55BPZ9Ntq9PVsCeTL1zCarlpxnKHr0nIr-20C82DTdWnQSps5S-0UIEKBk0tCyINpFr/s1600/6.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then have them use the Q-tip to trace the writing again. The Q-tip will erase the writing and your child has now practiced the word, problem,etc. THREE times! :) Plus using the different sized instruments will help their grip! BONUS!</div>

It was a ton of fun and my 5 year old was really helpful too. Our friend had just had twins (twinnies- which was the nicknamed coined by their big sister!) and 2 other kids... so naturally we needed to welcome the babies and make the big kids feel good too!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's a simple and inexpensive way to spread the love!</div>

So the first image is a complete twin gift. We, obviously made 2 of them- this is one of the two. The other picture is of the gift baskets made for the older siblings- a boy and a girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started off with making t-shirts- $3 each. I grabbed t-shirts from the Dollar Store and iron on transfers from Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total $6</div>

This activity was a lot of fun for my daughter and I to create together for friends. Olivia was very particular as to what went where. She took a lot of pride in making these. It also teaches a valuable lesson of giving to and caring for others. We talked about how happy we would make our friend and that they would feel special. I reminded her how good it felt to get gifts when Emily was born. So, this project was more than a gift for friends. It was a way to teach my daughter how to be a kind and caring person. It taught her how to plan and create something others would love. </div>

OMG! So I decided to make chocolate covered Strawberries but I wanted them to taste like the chocolate place in town. So as I'm searching for a recipe I find people inject liquor into strawberries- uhhhh yummy! But not for this particular party so, I'm thinking along those lines and decide maybe I could get the effect of the chocolate place but injecting Simple Syrup. So I decided to try and it if it works- cool, I'll make them again and post if not, oh well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
But, wow! Were they delicious! When you bite into them they are filled with a sweet strawberry goodness flavor. But not filled like Gushers. Remember those? Nasty gooey gel inside. So gross. NOTHING like that. Just regular strawberry juice but sweeter.<br />
<br />
My ways may be unconventional. As you read my posts I'm kinda a tinker in that I will find ways to do what I want using what I have soooo my injection method may not be ideal, but I like to use and re-use what I can!<br />
<br />
I, soooooooooooooo, recommend you give these a try!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
Simple Syrup<br />
Strawberries 1 pint<br />
Chocolate 1/2 bag<br />
White chocolate 1/4 cup<br />
Crisco just a dallop<br />
injector :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Before you begin, make sure to wash your strawberries- ya just never know what\s on 'em. Then I used this tool (no clue was it is) and a Tylenol syringe. I told you I was creative in this respect! Poke a hole with the 'tool" and inject the simple syrup into the hole. I did enough that I could see the syrup at the top of the hole.<br />

Next refrigerate them while making chocolate. I used Ghiradelli chocolate chips- about 1/2 bag. It's important to use good quality chocolate to have the best taste. Melt chocolate in 30 sec intervals stirring after each.<br />

When melted carefully dip and roll each strawberry in the chocolate and place on PARCHMENT paper. I made the mistake of not using it the 1st time. They tasted good just not as pleasing to the eye.<br />

Melt about 1/4 cup of white chips with a dallop of Crisco so it is runny and put your fancy white stripes on. I kinda suck at it, but tastes the same!<br />

<span style="color: red;">I wanted my daughter to know she was loved and many people were thinking of her while in the hospital. So I decided to pick certain people and family members to create a one of a kind 6x6 square of fabric that we would see together as a quilt for her. THIS WAS AMAZING! I bawled like a baby when it was done, so beautiful- meaningful. I was blessed with another heart mom who was able to create this amazing quilt.</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">Next up, I told ya, I like to be busy, is my book I wrote for her. I met with the child life specialists to see exactly what would happen to her. From there, I decided what I wanted her to know and what I thought was appropriate. This took a ton of time and energy. I illustrated it and put many significant clues in the illustrations as to it being for her. It was wonderful. I published it through my school's Student Treasure program.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">I wanted to give her something special for her heart day. I searched for a beautiful, real heart ring and presented it her the morning we left for the hospital. In addition to the ring, I wanted her to have dolly like her. So I found this FB site, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennylynndolls">The Cutest Dolls Ever</a>, and I picked the doll for my daughter. From her hair and eyes to her clothes and scar. The doll is beautiful.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">I prepared stiff for a glow party at the hospital. We invited 2 family members (all that was allowed in the room, but they rotated) and gave the nurse some stuff. Fun, fun!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: red;">Throughout the months preceding surgery I tried to collect heart decor and fun things to decorate the boring hospital room as well. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">I needed to have a small token of my appreciation for anyone who came in contact with our family. Each person meant so much and played an important role in my daughters care. So I made heart pins. I bought the hearts, glitter painted them, added the stitch and pin back. We put them in cute mesh bags with thank you tags. All supplies from the Dollar Tree! Every doctor, nurse, specialist or volunteer got one!</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">And then there's those doctors, the miracle workers. I needed just a little more. So I prepared and framed a heart wordle for each doctor and of course, Nurse Natalie! Each was so appreciative!</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">These things helped me occupy my time until surgery came. I knew I could not control any part of surgery and the outcome, but I could control my outlook and my energy. I needed to turn that stress into positive things to get by. After the girls went to bed, I did these things, during lunch I worked on this. Basically any time I had to think was filled with these projects. It helped- it really did!</span></div>

Today I am looking at Turbo Fire HIIT 30. Turbo Jam does not have HIIT workouts like TF. TF has a 15, 20, 25 and a 30. I did the 30 today. It's one of my favorites. Actually HIIT 25 is my absolute favorite, but I was kinda lazy and ate and drank too much this week so every minute counts. I had the day off today so I was able to exercise at a normal hour instead of 5am. Hallelujah!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
HIIT 30 is an amazing workout. It's High Intensity Interval Training. And it is tough. During the workout you 'suck wind' as Chalene calls it- push to your max for 1 minute then you get 1 minute rest in between. And friends, you will! In this HIIT there are 5 HIITS , the last HIIT you do it 3 times and it is the HARDEST...4 burpees 4 tuck jumps- YIKES! But according to Chalene and other research you can burn up to 9x more fat than traditional cardio. Also, you reap the benefits of the after burn for up to 24 hours.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Chalene teaches you each HIIT before and cues appropriately. She does a great job motivating you throughout this workout, but truthfully throughout the whole program. No joke- there have been times in my life that I hear Chalene in the back of my head telling me 'it's all in your head' or 'go hard or go home' or 'how you speak to your self in the heat of the battle...' Not just when working out but other times as well. It's crazy. But I love it. I truly believe making the mental change is the hardest. You have to BELIEVE you can do it before you can do it. after my 1st daughter was born Beachbody helped me lose 60 lbs. The mental hurdles are the hardest you must BELIEVE you can do it. I had a reminder tattooed on my wrist. :)<br />

This workout includes plyometrics along with low impact option lead by "her girl Ali." I mix it up, there are ti<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">mes I am sucking so much wind and I gotta go low! Some of my favorite moves are the<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> running mans with knee smashes, sumo burpees but there are a ton of different jacks- air jacks being my favorite, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">squat jumps, squats, football drills, </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">leaps and ski runs. As I said before, every move has a low impact BUT high intensity option. </span><br />

One that caught my hear today was, "Get in the bast shape of your life at any age."-Chalene. Which is true. You can do it, you just need to COMMIT to changing your life style.</span></span><br />

Need a quick and easy, simple and fun gift idea for the kiddos to make? Look noooo further! This is a really cute magnet that can hold a card, kids picture or special note. We made ours for Valentines day. Olivia is having her own party tonight- with my help of course. Everything she planned, shopped for and picked out. It ended up costing about $25 but well worth the creativity, educational experience and proudness she and I both felt. Proudness? Is that a word?

I had to keep my mind busy. I'm kinda a control freak- I said it- never out loud before but I have now. So, this was a very good life lesson in not always bring able to control your life and about finding ways to be ok with that. I cried.. A lot. Sometimes- in the beginning wondered why us? Did I do something wrong during pregnancy? But quickly realized that thought process need to end. It wasn't healthy for me and if I wasn't healthy I couldn't help others through this. It wasn't happening to just me it was happening to my family, my husband, my parents, and relatives. Most of all my Peanut.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, how do I tell my friends and family everything? How do I communicate without having to tell the same story 100 time?! FACEBOOK! I created a page, a private place of people who wanted to hear about Olivia. I needed a cool name, though. Olivia is my Peanut and that is when the Peanut Squad was born!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did many, many things to try to make it better. After talking with the Dr. I knew one of the first things I needed to do- volunteer at the hospital. I needed to see it, be there, be part of their family and above all give back to them. I needed a way, a thoughtful way to thank this place for taking care of my child. This is where her life would change and these people were going to help. How could I not thank them?<br />
<br />

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, worried whether or not we could stay at the hospital, IF we needed the Ronald McDonald House, I had to have a way to thank them, I had to give to them. And that was when the love of pop tabs blossomed. We hope to become, The Peanut Squad, a member of the 1,000,000 pop tab club!<br />

<br /></div>

Another thing I did, was create Peanut Squad shirts and invited people to purchase them with proceeds benefiting Advocate Lutheran General and other heart organizations. I created the logo and with help from graphic designer friends, our logo was created. Unexpectedly we sold, I think, in the 170s! Along with the shirt, they also received a handmade candle painted by Olivia, a thank you picture and soy candle donated by The Lazy Ballerina. It was quite an undertaking to get all those packages together. So fun and I got to see all the support I had! I bought some for all the doctors and nurse and Dr. Nueberger wore his on his first check up with us in the hospital. Such am amazing Dr.</div>

Which sucks. I hate mornings- not a morning person. But I do because it feels so good afterward and, honestly, I have a much better more productive day. I never thought I would be the daily exerciser, but I am. It's a love hate thing. But mostly love.<br />

Both are a dance, kickboxing style with some kick ass 90s music! Boom I got your boyfriend! And others! Cardio party REMIX <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">is an awesome 31 minute workout- 4 minute warm up, 2 sets of choreography, 2 turbos and 1 more set of choreography, a little finesse then cool down. This video includes a ton of knee lifts, turbo twist, Tai punches, howzit, zig-zag knees, punch high-low, then the finesse and jenga. She doesn't cue quite as much in this video but I love the flow. It doesn't take up a lot of room either which is nice. It's a great workout when you're short on time.</span></div>
