OLW Blog Hop!

Welcome to the second "One Little Word" Blog Hop! Everyone goes "live" at 8am Pacific Time March 1st. As a refresher, my word for 2011 is ACTIVE. Life has been nothing but ACTIVE the last two months, since the arrival of my son on 1-7-11. We have definitely had some issues and I haven't been able to devote much time to this project until recently. My poor lil boy seems to be a bit colicky and we've switched formulas 3x. I think we are on the right track now with Soy formula and a "moby wrap".

I am excited though, because I am keeping up with my word where progress is concerned. My goal for this year is to be more ACTIVE all around. This means with my kids, with my husband and with myself. I want to get healthier (lose weight) so I can be ACTIVE with my kids at the park or even around the house. Since having my baby, I have lost 25 pounds! I am on the right track! My husband and I have also been trying to go out and do more things (which is nice). And I have been doing little things for myself, like getting a hair cut or doing my make-up more, which has lifted my spirits. It is the simple things really! :)

My photos reflect the items listed above. I enlarged a photo of my daughter running at the park and journaled on it with a Sharpie White Paint Pen from Michaels. With my 9 photos, I have done a lil journaling on the back.



I hope you enjoy your day and the OLW Blog Hop! Visit Lee next at http://linarstudio.typepad.com/embracelife

    congrats on the new arrival! I guess that active is an understatement with two little ones! Hope the colic is getting better. Love the journaling in white on your photo! Great 9 patch. Good luck on your word journey- Amanda (#21)
