-
Before I begin, I want to thank Christine over at Three Boy Circus for passing this award to me! I'm so excited! And I had no idea what the Liebster Award was! As you know I have only been blogging for less than a year, so I am very new to this! It's an award that is passed around to new bloggers, like me, and is a way for everyone to get to know each other and boost everyone's confidence! It's such a great idea and I'm so glad Christine thought of me!

1. Post the award on your blog
2. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back to their blog.
3.Write 11 random facts about yourself
4. Nominate 11 fellow bloggers who you feel deserve this award and have less than 1000 followers

6. I am a book lover. I always have at least 2 books going.
7. I have a terrible sweet tooth, but do not like white chocolate. Any milk or dark chocolate, not white.

    Thanks for the nomination, I was wondering what the Liebster Award was, I had seen it mentioned but had no idea what it was!!! So, just to clarify (sorry, it's 11.20pm and I'm exhausted) what do I do now, do I do a similar post to this on my blog, following the rules above? This is such a great idea!

DIY Body Wrap

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe

On My Journey: Cataracts

Along with my entire family, I wear glasses.  I have for about 3 years now.  I had noticed about two months ago that my left eye was really bad.  I couldn't see anything out of it, just blurry blobs.  So,  I carried myself to the eye doctors, expecting to get a new prescription.  He dilated my eyes because my left eye failed all the tests.  Imagine my surprise when he tells me that at the age of 42, I have cataracts.  I couldn't believe it! He said this is extremely rare, but does happen.  I ended up leaving there with a referral to an eye surgeon instead of a prescription.  Now I'm waiting to go see the eye surgeon.  I'm a little nervous even though I know it's an easy,  routine surgery.  I will keep all you wonderful readers updated as this progresses!
