New Day, New Year, New ME!

It has been so so long since I have blogged and I'm sorry!

But heres to update you since last I did.

Grace and Dale are doing  phenomenally! I don't mean to brag, but I do have some pretty great kids I mean look at these faces! 

I mean look at those faces, they need to be on a magazine or something right?

Like I couldn't have asked for a better set of chitlins my 3 year old LOVES Harry Potter ALMOST as much as his mommy (ain't no shame in my game.) And my 8 month old jams out to Ben Folds and Mayday Parade with me! 

(Speaking of which go buy "I told you so" By Dazy the girl on iTunes NOW!)

My latest endeavor has been the ever so popular crocheting!! And I actually sell the things I make! Heres a few of my more popular sleeves.

She's a natural.

Heres a little shameless self promotion but if you want something custom made go to facebook.com/GraciesGoodies2

Another thing I am tackling this year is weight loss. I actually haven't weighed myself yet so don't ask fools! BUT I have started going to PlanetFitness! Like once a week but every minute counts right? I have also cut the dastardly drink out... not alcohol because I don't actually drink that.. but pop! Soda, fizzy. What have you. Though I do love carbonation so I substitute it with SPARKLING water, not to be confused with its evil cousin SELTZER water. (Yuck!) But it's 0 sugars and 0 calories! I still have to take in more calories then the normal person due to breast feeding but I'm cutting back.

So with my weight loss journey I have started cooking more, and cut down on boxed things like mac n cheese. And by cook I mean throw stuff in my crock pot and go play with my babies. 

A few of my favorites are: (note I do not follow a recipe or measure anything.. ever..)

Not Yo Mommas Pot Roast:

 1 Roast that will fit your crock pot

2-3 Cans of precut carrots 

1 bag of some type of small potato (red, roaster potatoes)

1 packet of slow cooker savory pot roast seasoning.

Salt, pepper, Garlic powder, sometimes paprika for a kick.

Throw it all together.. like everything, even the juice from the carrots 

Set on low for 8 hours, or if you're impatient for a delicious meal like me 4-6 hours on high.

I think I shall wait until tomorrow to share more yummy recipes!!

g'night all!

What have you changed this new year?
