Back to School-SITS Girls Blogging Challenge

-

For the SITS girls blogging challenge day 2, it's a back to school theme. I thought I would share the pics of my oldest of her high school career! This is her in 9th grade, her first day as a freshman in high school. Wasn't she just adorable? I actually didn't tear up when she started high school, the tearing didn't start until closer to senior year!
This is her in 10th grade. I'm not quite sure what kind of pose she's doing there. I'm thinking it had to do with the fact that this was the year she started working out a lot and lifting weights.
Her 11th grade first day pic was lost when one of our computers died, but this was taken early in the year that year. I don't think I really noticed how grown up she was just from 10th to 11th.
And here she is at graduation. Now, she is a sophomore in college, majoring in English with a minor in Religious Studies, editor of the literary magazine and works part time. If she would stop driving us nuts long enough, we would tell her how proud we are of her! Just think, in a year, I'll be able to do one of these for Doodle too! It's amazing to look back and see how grown up they are year to year and even though everyone tells you when they are little how fast time will go, you don't believe it. When you are mired down in colicky babies and diapers, you don't think they will ever grow up. But, they do. So, to all you new moms out there, or the new Kindergarten moms who are teary eyed while they trot off to school, hug them a little tighter and cherish the moments while you have them!

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...
