What is keeping me busy right now?

So I am going to take a few minutes and talk about what I am currently doing outside of work and my boys that is keeping me busy.  I am focused on a couple things, reducing the "crap" in my house, spending less money on daily items, better health and living with essential oils, and weight loss.  All sound fun right??

Reducing crap…. So our house has been for sale for 10months.  Which is a really freaking long time when you have 2 toddlers.  So it comes off the market this week and we will try again in a couple years.  No big deal I guess.  Anyway these ten months have made me really look at what stuff I really need and want in my house.  We have a whole storage unit of stuff to bring home and I don’t want to bring much of it home…. We don’t really need it.  However some stuff we do need and do want back.  I just want to reduce the crap around home and make room for space…. I just want some space that isn’t cluttered.  I sound like my stepmom but that is totally ok.

Spending less on daily items…. So I started to coupon more and focus on sales to buy things.  I also upped my game with more Wal-Mart shopping and plan to hit Aldi more as well.  I also am now making my own homemade fabric softener (it really works) and soon my own laundry soap.  I am giving up on drier bars and have moved to wood balls in the drier.  I will update you all on the soap thing when I finally try it.  I am also going to start making my own hand soap…. At some point. 

Essential oils… I started working with Young Living and using oils for all kinds of things.  I make a kick butt sore muscle rub, stretch mark cream, vapor rub for the kids, and I use it diffused every day.  My stretch marks have gone from red to normal skin color in a month!  The sore muscle rub is such a hit my friends are asking me to make it for them…. And my son wants his vapor rub even when not sick.  I also have an allergy roller that I love when my allergies are bugging me.  The uses are endless honestly and I am freaking in love.  If you want to join my team or get more information check it out!  Kim's Young Living 

Weight loss…. I am doing weight watchers through my work and so far I am down 22 pounds.  The last 3 weeks have been hard.  I am fighting a few pounds weekly to make them run of the hills.  But let me put it into perspective…

22 of those is no joke, but I still have a lot to go.  It is work every day and making the right choices along with working out.  I just added Monday to my work out days.  I now do 30 min of gym time M-F… Weekends I have 30 minutes of kids and running around and everything else.  The weekends derail my eating.  I really have to start working on that doing better.  All the crappy choices I make over a weekend can add up to a failure of a week for me.  So that has to stop.  The goal is 100 pounds down…. So focus is gonna be needed.

So I guess that is what is keeping me busy right now.  We didn’t even go into planning a garden, getting storage set up at home, getting a swing set ready or any of that… needless to say life is busy and I like it that way!!

Much Love,
