My Fitness Pal

I love the application on my phone called Myfitnesspal  I have lost 14 pounds since I started it. I have NEVER ever counted calorie intake and my cardio.  Losing weight really is all about just being aware of what you are doing and what you are intaking.  I can not believe all the "yuck" I used to put in my body. Chips, cookies, ice cream, and so on.

On this app you enter in how much you weigh and what your target weight is in the amount of time and it tells you how many calories you can intake for the day.  It can be hard at times especially when you are on the go like me....the easiest thing to do would stop at McDonalds and grab a Chicken sandwich that you think is healthy but really it is 600 calories and that is half of your calorie allowance.  You know this because when you add to your daily diary you type in McDonald Chicken sandwich and it tells you how many calories it has...you can also scan anything with a barcode to distinguish how many calories it has.

Try it...you will LOVE it this app.  It is FREE!  www.myfitnesspal.com

Baseball stitch wall

I originally saw this idea online but I did things a little different then what I read so I thought I'd share my techniques to make this easy and  satisfying :). My first step was to paint the entire wall, basically bc it was a flat paint before and I changed it to eggshell.   Obviously walls vary in size so you will just need to determine how close you want the stitching.   We tied a pencil at the end of a rope and then tacked it in the corner then drew from one side to the other to get the long line.  Make sure u hold the pencil outright and not slanted at all!  Then do the other line in the opposite corner.   I traced the line with a thin paintbrush using a gray paint we had already.  It's ok if the line isn't exactly the same thickness ! If u look close you can see mine varies in thickness.  The best thing I did was make a stencil from a scrap piece of cardboard for the stitching.  And I didn't try to draw the stencil exa

Princess Tea Party

For my daughters 5th Birthday party we decided upon a Tea Party with Cinderella!  I think I went overboard this time but all the kids and even parents were saying what a great party it was which makes me feel really good since I put so much time and effort into it!  These were the party favors, I loved making these! I just cut out the circles with a cd as my template, then used a cupcake wrapper template for the tea cup and it took a while to cut out the perfect handle but I got it! Used the bags to make it look like steam coming from pot! I also put name labels in the side as well so the kids wouldn't fight over them. I bought all pink candies, stickers, Cinderella pens for the girls and sll blue candies for the boys! The boys didn't partake in the tea party ;)   Pin the Tiara on the Princess! Bought on Amazon for apx. $2.99  Had Cinderella give all girls a wand, gloves, and a necklace!   Tea Cup Pinata, Made by
