Things I am loving right now!

1. Weight Watchers. I feel so in control with it and I totally just finished off a completely "un-diet" friendly meal because you add up points and not restrictions!

2. Eating mexican dip for dinner and not feeling guilty.

3. Madelyn kisses and hugs and snuggles. She is so freaking snuggly!

4. Dancing in the living room to swing music in a little family circle of Chris, babydoll, Madelyn, and I. In that order.

5. Blackberries.

6. Getting rid of "junk" toys, thereby making my family room 90% cleaner.

7. Madelyn's new storytelling. She's always jabbered but now she goes into long stories about her day...in her own language. You can pick out key words and actions to know what she's talking about but most of it is in her jabber.

8. So You Think You Can Dance Finale. Can't wait to watch it. Hoping for Kayla to take it!

You watch that dance movie too! Everyone watches that show, I just don't see the intrigue. But whatever, I love Biggest Loser and most people don't get that.

I need to pull out my WW manual. Apparently you are taking the next weigh-in a lot more serious than me. I really need more motivation to run! I have got to start working out in some way.

I wish I could see your dance party! It must have been fun with Chris in the circle too! Fun!

I love your new background! Sounds like you have a new attitude with your weight loss! Love it!!!! Although, what did that mean for us when we just sat in the sauna and YOU would sweat, but I wouldn't? I need to figure something out, so that after I have this baby I can lose the 30 lbs I have put on!!!!!

Welcome Friends! Do you L-O-V-E somebody in the military?  Then this is totally the place for you. Please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and make yourself comfortable.  Hi!  I am Katrina aka Froggy Lady.  I like frogs.   No really.   I do. The Lily Pad is my little space on the internet that I like to call home.  It's a place where I take off my shoes, relax and get a little crazy sometimes. I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you! Oh and since we are all linked to the military somehow, you know there are rules.  Don't worry, they're super easy and fun! Link-up your favorite post from this past week with the little linky guy below. Yep that's it. Now, please, go, mingle, and leave some bloggy lov

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
