Happy New Year!!!

New Year Graphics

During the year may you have
Enough happiness to keep you sweet.
Enough trials to keep you strong.
Enough sorrow to keep you human.
Enough hope to keep you happy.
Enough failure to keep you humble.
Enough success to keep you eager.
Enough friends to give you comfort.
Enough wealth to meet your needs.
Enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow.
Enough determination to make each day better than the
day before.

Let’s make things great in 2008!

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas - Last Week!

Published by admin under Celebrations, Memes


Can you believe that it’s almost Christmas already!!!

This is our last Christmas meme for the year, so I am going to take this opportunity to thank those who participated in the meme and to wish you all a very merry Christmas!

This week I’m going to tell you about a great website that I found full of printable fun for the kids. It’s called Print Activities and it’s full of printable word searches, dot to dots, colouring pages and mazes for the kids to print up and do.

Now it is your turn:

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas - Week 7

Published by admin under Celebrations, Memes

I love Christmas! I love everything about it, giving gifts, spending time with family and friends, decorating the house, doing Christmasy crafts with the kids, reading Christmas stories, watching Christmas movies ….. everything!!!
So I thought it might be fun to start a new meme especially for Christmas.
Each week you can write a post on your blog about something Christmas related, share a fun story, a Christmas web site you have found, a fun craft idea, a special tradition, Christmas hints and tips, your favourite decoration or Christmas recipe or movie …. anything you like, then come back here each week until Christmas and I’ll have Mister Linky waiting for you to link up your post.
I can’t wait to hear some of your ideas! It would be great if you could spread the word, the more the merrier :) Feel free to use the button on your blog!

Christmas Cookies

This week I thought I’d tell you about some cute cupcakes that I made last week. They were really cute reindeer cupcakes. I got the idea from the cookies above that I found at Familycorner.com . But instead of making the cookies, I baked my favourite vanilla cupcakes and decorated them with some icing and pretzels and M&Ms to make the little reindeers. Silly me didn’t take a photo of them but I’m sure you get the idea :)

Now it’s your turn :)

Weigh In Wednesday - 12th December

Published by admin under Weight Loss Challenge

Weigh in Wednesday

Starting weight: 73kg
Todays weight: 70kg
My goal to loose 6kg in 6 weeks is not going as well as I had hoped. I am still losing weight, but very slowly and not at the rate I was hoping. My problem is that I lack motivation and I can think up a thousand excuses when it comes to exercise or rather lack of it and why it is ok to eat the last 3 chocolate biscuits.
This week I am going to try and drink more water and I am also going to try and eat smaller healthier meals more often to try and boost my metabolism and get more exercise.
Go to Tales From The Scales to follow other participants on their weight lose journey!
