Another year older and what do you get?

It is Monday and a new week.  I went back to the gym after a couple weeks hiatus and feel great for doing so. Do not get me wrong, I love to eat with blatant disregard of calories.  My husband has a saying " All that stuff you eat in private shows in public..." He's full of nuggets like that.  I like going to the gym.  I have decided I like going not just for the obvious physical reasons but for the camaraderie of fellow moms.  We are all there sans our  little ones, at least for 1 hour, and we get to kick the crap out of bag or a self defense dummy.  It is cathartic. We laugh, we push each other, we listen, we empathize, we race, we cheer each other on,  and we share information all between reps, laps and drills.  It's a hen house and it rejuvenates me.  I need gym  for my mental well being as well as my physical. 

I found these videos inspiring...


Then there are these...
What more can I say after this...

Thank you for reading.

New Year, new blogs...

I have been a terrible blogger these last few weeks. I think it is just better to say we've been busy.  Life has been fun and full.  We are healthy and happy.
I have been knitting a new project and crafting up some decorations for my sparsely furnished home.
I have taught me self how to use a sewing machine! Look out world I'm-a-sewin'!
We've been cooking up a storm too.

Here are some pictures...
