Day 4 (No Sugar) and For the Non-Scrapper

Today has been easier. I haven't overeaten or had any sugar. I have attacked a few pieces of sugar free gum though. I am not going to post my tracker, but it has been a great day. I feel really motivated today. Manly Man is still going too, although he has cheated a few times. I am still proud of him though!

I'm not a scrapper. A scrapbooker that is. My sister is. I think I disappoint her greatly in this area. She is always helpful when I go for a visit. And by helpful, I mean she forces me to sit down and work on a scrapbook that has been in the works for a year and a half. She is great about it, honestly.

It is not realistic for me to be able to do scrapbooks for everything. This digital photo age has about killed me. Until I found the photo books that Shutterfly will let you create. You can do a quick one that helps you through a lot of the process or do one that takes more time and requires a little more effort on your part. They print it and send it to you in book form. It is like making a yearbook. I have done three of them so far. I am trying to have one for each year so that we have a way to look at pictures without having to go to the computer. Check them out here.

The Ten Dollar Challenge, Installment 1

My boys' cars and trucks were overflowing the blue bin and either we fit in what we could and the rest stayed on the floor or we got them all in and then the bin didn't fit where it was supposed to. Enter the metal container. It was $14.99 at Michale's, but I had my nifty 40% off coupon! I also purchased a piece of felt to go in the bottom so it wouldn't be so loud when the boys put their toys away! So, I spent, including tax $10.38! I am excited and can't wait to get another one. I am trying to organize the toy mess so that homeschooling in the fall can be a bit easier!
