4. Hanging out at World Market

1. Beej's Father's Day gifts - we replaced all his shoes. He's pretty hard on them. New Balance's for work, and new Sketcher's for play!
2. Little ballerina - I can't wait to get her back into dance, she loves it so much!
3. I swear he's not evil, he's really sweet!

1. I tackled cleaning Gianna's room Sunday afternoon before my in-laws came over for dinner. But I didn't just clean it up I cleaned it OUT! I got rid of 3 huge garbage bags full of stuff and a few other toys that she never plays with. She wasn't happy about it but I explained that she didn't need ALL that stuff and she'd still have plenty of toys to play with. I'm trying hard to teach her to let go of stuff! I'm still learning myself but my hubby has been very instrumental in helping me learn. I never want to be one of those people who holds on to every toy my child has ever gotten.....that drives me nut! I clean out Gianna's toys at least once a year. I keep the ones she likes or plays with the most and get rid of the rest. You can't keep every toy or stuffed animal someone has ever given them. I explained to my family long ago that years from now don't expect Gianna to have the stuffed animals and toys they've bought her. We just don't keep everything! Now her room is SO much cleaner and neater, and hopefully easier to keep that way.

  4. Lol, Meredith! I'm so glad that I inspire someone because I have no words to express how hard it was for me to get back in shape and to keep at it. It's something that I'm still so proud of because if you knew the me before you'd be SHOCKED that I've kept at it! Lol! But yeah, my fitness blog is to help others but to also help me - when I have to put things out in public I tend to stick with them better! Thanks for reading and stopping by! And dang, now I"m going to have to go through the "B" section of my baby name book!
