Weightloss Wednesday

Ok, This week I gained a pound! I don't really mind though because I *look* skinner to me. I just can't be doing this " I don't really mind" thing every week! haha

One thing I would love to start doing is eating more organic foods. I think it's good for you and plus it's more expensive so maybe that will = eating less? haha I would really like to start planting some fruits this next year. I would love to have some fruits and veggies and I think it would be fun to do with the boys! It's been really cold here and so it's been a nice change from the 100 degree days! I am hoping to start walking more! I bought a really expensive "jogging" stroller when I was pregger with Carter because I just convinced myself that I would jog. Guess what though, I haven't jogged once but I love the stroller! haha

I am starting a new section in my Little Miss Heirlooms blog called "Momma Tales". I will feature moms (new, old and soon to be) on my blog and will have funny stories, advice and crafts as well. Im having a blast with this new blog because I've always like anything and everything to do with baby an baby decor. I really enjoy decorating my boys rooms! If you would like to be featured please let me know. It's a good way to get to know more people and get exposed.

Anyways...did you notice the new look? I thought it was more ME then the Halloween and really cute. I worked on it all day. First I had to make the blog a 3 column blog and then make the background and banner! Like it? I love it!

You Pick Giveaway

I'm in a real *Holiday* mood today! I'm having my grandparents over and made ham and mashed potatoes and even made Pumpkin Pie ....shhhh DON'T tell Jennifer from Rosey Little Things. Pumpkin pie isn't exactly the best thing to eat while you are in a group that's all about weight loss! haha

Here are the giveaway goodies. You can pick either one if you win.

Package 1. A vintage pink and white Putz house, set of 10 pink vintage glass ornaments and the little shadowbox I made last year with a vintage Christmas card and mercury glass balls.

Package 2 is this very sweet Charlotte doll. I call her little pumpkin. I made her the orange "costume" out of vintage crepe paper and the glitter that was used was vintage German glass glitter. She is very small measuring only 2 1/2 inches and would be perfect for your crafts!

If you didn't hear it yet you will!In 2016, Rio de Janeiro will be hosting the Olympics! It will be the first time South America hosts it and it's about time. I'm not from Rio but Sao Paulo which is very much like New York but have been to Rio and it's a BEAUTIFUL and a MAGICAL place! I'm so excited! Maybe my family will make it down there for the games !

Watch this to get a little taste of What Rio de Janeiro and Brasil offer! :)

Weightloss Wednesday

I know I have been kinda absent. I've just had so many things to do!

I haven't really been exercising besides a small walk. I lost about 1 pound this week which is good. I think one key thing is to treat yourself. Instead of going out for Starbucks Ill get the Starbucks Lite drinks that they sell at Target. A pack of 4 is like $5.00 which is more affordable also. I can tell that its going to start getting REALLy hard though...cause the stores already have loads of CANDY and GOODIES! Totally not fair!

In other news...Little Miss Heirlooms is finally going to open October 5. You can check out all the latest news , coupons and giveaways here .

Beautiful Barn

I recently went to an antique Barn close to my house and was overwhelmed with the beautiful items and set up. They put together a "theme" for every showing and move things around, get new items and decorate! I can't wait to see it at Christmas time!

I went to the "Harvest Moon" theme and found most of the items really reasonable. Here are some pics of the lovely place.
