Thanksgiving Pig Out / Muffin Top with Shortmama!


Okay, some of you may have already seen this picture. But I saw it for the first time on Thanksgiving - and it freakin' cracked me up! I kept looking at it all day and laughing my head off. (Too bad I couldn't laugh my muffin top off) I know - easily amused.

I'm joining in with Shortmama today for Journey from Muffin Top to Skinny Jeans. I jump in occasionally, although I really want to be consistent, both with my journey, and with blogging about it!

She asked us about Thanksgiving. I believe her exact words were: "Did you only eat small amounts of food? Or were there pig noises coming from your mouth as you scarfed down every morsel? "

Pig noises here. But in my defense - my brother hosted, and so his family (us, my other bro, my parents) AND his wife's whole family came - and EVERYONE brought food! So there was a plethora of scrumdiddlyumptious food to choose from! Only, I didn't really choose, more like I sampled everything. Only, I didn't really sample since that would imply small portions. Like I said - pig noises.

One good thing - I'm not much of a pie fan, so I can honestly say, I didn't pig out on pie! And I have been really good all week! Although I'm a little discouraged, because the scale is NOT reflecting my good behavior this morning. Boo. I'm trying to muster up all my strength, because I'm going to a partay tonight at Tanielle's - which is sure to offer up some tasty temptations. So please, my friends - lets have some encouraging words/ tough talk/ slapping me around - anything to prepare me to be strong and resist the temptation tonight.

How was your Thanksgiving?

If you eat anything at Tanielle's?
Make sure you eat enough for me. 'Kay?
I know, I'm no help.

I wish I could give you words of encouragement, but I have none. I'm in kind of a "sieze the day" kind of place at the moment, and I say ENJOY!
But I'll try to be supportive. It's all about moderation. Have a little bit of each thing.
Did it work?

Stay close to the Veggie tray. that fresh taste and crunchy-ness TOTALLY saves me!!

I'm With Sare. Stick near the veggie tray or fruit. I love to eat too, but I have had to learn how to moderate my portions. I know you can do it too. Remember I'm right there with you, and if you don't eat right I may make you skate with me! HAHAHAHAHA! That'd be funny, you and me skating with hula hoops!

'm so excited to see a post from you that I didn't even read it. I just jumped right to the comment section to say...YEAH YOU"RE BACK!

Ok, read the post...


Umm, here's my advice. Share everything you eat with a friend that way it only counts as half!

So did you manage to make it through the partay without more pig noises?
I'm not a pie eater either. I didn't pig out, but I also haven't worked out but once in a month, so....I'm definitely not losing anything. I'm a bad influence on you! BUT, I gained 8 pounds last year and I haven't gained anything this year, so that's progress, right???

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Holiness to the Lord

My heart is full tonight. Today I had the opportunity, along with my husband, to take our two oldest children and attend a session of the dedication of the newest LDS temple. A few weeks ago we were able to take the entire family to tour the inside of the temple during the public open house. During this time, before the temple is dedicated to the Lord, the temple is open to the public for anyone to come walk through and tour the inside. My kids were so excited - they have always asked me what it was like inside the temple. I've tried to explain it to them. There is nothing in this world that can compare to the beauty, the serenity, the absolute peace that can be found within the walls of these holy buildings. Today as we attended the dedication, I was overcome with emotion as I sat with my husband, and two of my children, sharing with them this special experience. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. As I was waiting for the meeting to start, listening to the beautiful m...
