Weight Watcher War~Let the Games Begin!

So this post is a long time coming...
My mom, my sister, and myself have waged a friendly Weight Watcher war.  Yep.  We are gonna be counting points!  We all have pretty big BUT obtainable goals.  Here is a breakdown of the LBS we are planning on losing:  Mom-57, Sis-32 LBS, and me-a whopping 80 LBS!!  Alright, there it is.  Wrote out in plain black and white for the world to see.  That number almost brought me to tears.   But with the three of us doing this together, pushing each other, and being the competitive gals that we are, a little competition might kick start us in the right direction and help us be accountable to each other.  Lets do this ladies!

I would love to hear any comments, suggestions, or tidbits of motivation posted below!  I will be posting my "food logs" and letting y'all know what I'm eating to get back into my skinny jeans!  And mom and Rianna, this is for you, I'm looking forward to seeing your food logs too!

Next Up: Master Bedroom Re-Do

Next project: tackling the master bedroom! The paint color has been the same for over five years now (at least)...and not that it is a bad color, I am just sick of it and ready for a change. This project may take a while because it is going to be a challenge in a few ways-cost and lots of blood, sweat, and tears...hopefully no blood, not too many tears, but for sure a lot of sweat. The vaulted celings make the room hard to paint and not complaining, but our master is pretty huge...so lots of work. Here are my ideas of what the new room will look like when complete.

Happy 1st Birthday Party!

Maia's first birthday party was an amazing blast. We had so many family and friends celebrate this special first occasion with us. Surprisingly, this was the FIRST party I've ever thrown in my home (except for a friend's baby shower) and it was a lot of fun! Above are some pictures of the birthday girl along with the homemade highchair tutu as well as other homemade birthday party favors and other custom decorative items I ordered from etsy.com.

DIY Highchair Tutu

I've decided to make a high chair tutu for my little girl's first birthday party. I looked into buying one...but they can be very expensive. With zero sewing skills, I'm going to make a NO SEW tutu. I have found a few DIY tutorials and above are some examples of what the tutu will look like when complete!

1st Birthday Party Planning

Maia's first birthday is coming up SOON!! I have been in super crazy mom mode trying to get everything ordered for her celebration. Even though she will not remember this party, I want to celebrate her first year with all of the people who have been there for us to make this year one of the best year's ever. We are celebrating the pure joy of having Maia in our lives!!

The party theme is centered around owls and so far these are the things I have ordered...

Also, in the process of making a custom high chair tutu for my little princess' party. More details on that coming up later...

As for all the party invitations, outfit, treat bags, and etc...they are all ordered custom with Maia's name on them, of course!

Nursery Ideas

The little beanette will be here before we know it. I have been obsessed with ideas for her nursery; here are some of the designs that I love!
