I have spent most of today at my mums house with the girls. We usually go there every Sunday for our dinner and for the girls to play. Also so I can get a little break, my mum does all the chasing around instead of me. We had a lovely Sunday lunch today and I was good and didn't over indulge, especially with the crackling. I usually finish the whole plate but today I only had two small pieces. Healthy eating for the win.
I also want to talk about my little addiction to Pinterest. I have already mentioned that I use the site in previous posts. If anybody is a member I am sure they will understand. Let me start by explaining what pinterest is, it is a website where you create boards and you pin pictures to them but if you click on the pictures they will send you to the link where they came from. I have a few boards, from recipes I want to try, crafts, animal photos, words and art. I find this website so useful, especially all the recipes. In fact I found so many recipes that I had to buy some extra equipment so I could try them. This is mainly a slow cooker or crock pot in the USA. I have tried a few already and they are fantastic. The thing is you find so many things to try that you need to find time to try them all. Please let me know if you use the site and what your thoughts are as I have only heard positive things about.
Goodbye for now.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to one and all. I was actually asleep at midnight, so I didn't see the New Year in till about 1am when my fiance got back from work.
I have had a nice relaxing day with the family though eating a nice roast dinner, then taking our little dog Angel for a walk. We have been snuggled on the couch and watching movies as well and also been jumping around in front of the TV with the Xbox kinect.
I have promised myself this year that I will take some more time for myself. As pretty much most of last year I was a mum 24/7 and I thing I had about five days all to myself. SO I am making a promise to myself that once a month I am going to take the time to have a me day, while my fiance looks after the girls.
Anyway hope everybody had a fun night and day and that 2012 brings you lots of luck and fun.

Motivation
I have had no motivation over the last few months to do much of anything. This is mainly to do with a lack of sleep as my youngest daughter who is only 15 months either wakes during the night for up to 2 hours and refuses to sleep past 5:30am. I have been lucky the last four nights though as she has slept through til 6:00am, I am hoping we can stick to this pattern.
I really want to get my motivation back as there is so much I want to achieve over the next few months. It will be my 30th birthday at the end of May and I feel there is so much more I could be doing.
My top few things are
1. Get down to 130lbs. I am currently 156ilbs.
2. Pay off A £1000 off my combined total of my credit cards.
3. Blog daily
4. Learn to use photoshop and take better pictures
Starting from Monday I am going to make myself do as much as I can to accomplish all these things. Fingers crossed all this works.

Easter Weekend
Hope everybody has a wonderful Easter weekend. Mine was quite quiet, on Friday I was in all day potty training my eldest which was quiet eventful, lots of little accidents but I'm sure we will get there. On Saturday we had a lovely family BBQ and the girls had a great fun with there grandparents. I think some of them are bigger kids then the little ones as they were jumping on the trampoline. A lot of fun was had eating, playing and a little drinking.
I had a quiet Easter Sunday as my partner was at work, so it was just me and the girls. We had a lovely lunch and ate lots of chocolate and played in the garden. My eldest even fell asleep on the trampoline which was very cute. We must of tired her out. Monday was a nice easy day of going into town and doing some shopping with my mum and the girls. Although we did try to avoid the fair and we managed but there was a little sulking involved when my daughter realised that we had bypassed it.
All in all a lovely weekend and I hope everyone else had fun and ate lots of chocolate.

YouTube Insperations
I love watching videos on YouTube but there are two that I find very inspiring.
The first is Kandee Johnson and I came across her about two years ago. She now as two channels the first is http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson which is all about make up, beauty and fashion. Her second channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/thekandeejohnsonshow which is about her family. Why do I love watching her videos so much, well first she reignited my passion for all things beauty and make up. I originally started doing beauty at college when I was 16 but I left after six months as my friends at the time were unsupportive and I felt I was doing the wrong thing. I am now 28 and plan to go back to college in September to start up the courses again and I am very excited. The make up she does is flawless and has worked on TV and films and yet she does this with four children. It is amazing what she does. She also tries to inspire all her followers on her blog's and you tube channel. She did a month worth of costume looks and I was amazed at what she could do, I just hope one day I will be as good as her.
The second person well family I find inspiration from is the Shaytards. This is the link to their channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/SHAYTARDS. It is daddytard, mummytard, sontard, princesstard, babytard and rocktard. They don't give the names of their children which is understandable but he is called Shaycarl and mummytard is Katilette. They are such a lovely family and are very funny, I hope my family will be like this in the future. I came across the Shaytards about 6 months ago and have been watching there videos ever since. They have been daily vloging since he turned 29 which is just over two years ago. I have been trying to catch up on all the videos but I don't have a lot of time most days. Its lovely two see a couple so happy and in love and with such special children. He is a true insperation for all familys.
There are other people I subscribe to on Youtube but these two are my favourites. I hope I have made any of you reading this interested in subscribing to them.
Have a Faboosh day.
