Baby Nap Time Scrapbook Layout

Losing weight

We're going to California to vist Scott's dad and show of the baby, so I've been going through my closet and trying on different outfits.  Most of them I just don't feel comfortable in anymore and realized I truly need to lose weight.  I got Alison Sweeney's "The Mommy Diet" awhile back and I think I'm gonna truly follow the advice in her book.  I just feel fat and I've not really paid attention to my diet and body after I had the baby, frankly I just got lazy.  So I'm gonna kick it into gear when we get back and really make an effort.  It's hard to eat good with limited funds but I will have to find a way...

Inspirational Binder or Board

I've decided to start an inspiration binder or board in addition to this blog.  I don't really have anywhere to display where I live so maybe a binder might do the trick.  I've always had some sort of binders with magazine pages torn out of make up, fashion, styles, business ideas but maybe I need one dedicated to things that inspire me.  I'm hoping this helps me to find the right business I want to do, then the next thing left would be trying to get capital.  Lately, I've been thinking of getting a part-time job to bring in extra money to live and save.  Perhaps this binder will help me to bring it all together, my mind feels like it's all over the place because I want to do so many things to accomplish my goal to be an etnrepreneuer.  I'm like a chicken without a head!  I'll update my progress after I get back from California, maybe I'll pick up a few inspirational ideas from there!

Hitch'd Stash

This is a pretty cool blog that I found through Top Mommy Blogs, actually I was checking out Takara in Tokyo and came across this blog.  Brief info on who they are:
This is who we are.
Hitch'd is a web service that lets you collect wedding inspiration and create printable stationery for your wedding easily.  Both Hitch'd Stash + Designer were created by people with big love for weddings, technology, and great products.

I'm not jumping into wedding planning or anything but this blog got me inspired.  I still would like my own online boutique but maybe I could do a baby book thing or cloth diapers?  I would love to do what they do but for babys and moms...food for thought?

Big Dreams

On the good advice of a fellow blogger, I started, actually restarted, writing my blog to keep all my thoughts and inspirations.  I keep bouncing back and forth between ideas and what I would like to do to become a WAHM.  I became a Scentsy Consultant to make extra money but that is a slow go.  Mostly because I'm not that overly pushy sales person, but I want to make extra money so we don't have to continue to struggle and to put towards whatever idea I hope to pursue.  I love fashion and the creative side of it, don't really sew but I know I can do it just gotta get the machine going.  My most current obsession is opening an online boutique of children's clothing.  I'm thinking of doing pre-loved and clothing that I design myself..again need to sew..I've been dragging my feet on getting a second job because I dont' want to give up more time with my son.  He's only 9 months but I want to spend as much time with him as I can.  I guess I have to find a balance between the sacrifices I'm willing to make and what I need to do.  Okay now that I got that off my chest, I can breathe again.

Smallville Finale, Tom Welling puts on the Superman suit.

I am truly bummed that last Friday was the finale of Smallville, this show has grown so much over the last ten years and has given a different twist on the Superman/Clark Kent persona.   You watched the character of Clark develop into the hero he was destined to be.  I enjoyed the friendship the show developed betweenClark Kent and Lex Luthor, even though you knew they would end up as enemies instead.  Still I hoped they would be friends.  I was glad they brought Lex back even though it was only for an instant, you can't have Superman without Lex Luthor.  The entire time I watched the show I kept waiting for Tom Welling to put on the Superman suite, he finally did at the end but I was a little disappointed because it was only for the last 15 minutes of the show...also you didn't get to see him close up that much.  Other than that I really enjoyed the finale, but now what else do I fill my Friday nights with?
