I hope you all have a fabulous week. Work has been so busy but it’s a good thing. This week I will be prepping for Cooper’s b-day on Saturday. It will be a day at the zoo and a party that night. Thankfully we are getting the food catered in so we don’t have to cook. We will cook some sweet corn though.  Will pick up his cake that is costing a fortune on Friday night. Even seen the cake shows on TV where they actually sculpt cakes? Yeah that I what I get Cooper. This year it’s Thomas the Train. It’s will be the number 3 with train tracks on it with Thomas coming out of a tunnel. I can’t wait to see it.

On the weight loss front I lost another lb this week which I am super excited for. I will take any loss I can get. This week I am back to bringing my lunch everyday so again, ideas would be great. I have noted the ones from last week and thanks, great ideas.

I am excited the blogging carnival is Earth Footwear. My pair are starting to break down so a new pair would be awesome. They help my plantar fasciitis so much it’s unreal.  They allow me to shop without pain. They are awesome. I really would like a black pair to wear with dress pants to work.  Thanks Earth Foot and Mamavation for opening my eyes.

Congrats to the Mamavation Moms for their success. I can’t beleive this is their last week. Wow where did the time go. I look forward to following you after this. Sorry I feel so out of the loop on Twitter because I am not able to get on as much and miss a lot of the conversations. I miss chatting with you all but please don’t forget me!!
