WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

How has your week been? hmmmm?  tell me! LOL.. I would love to hear 🙂

Well this week for me was VERY productive.. work and cooking.. and cooking and cooking.. and loving every minute of it :).  Went to doctor today to get weighed and it seems that this Paleo/whole30 way of life is agreeing with me :).. I am down 12.5 pounds.. and thrilled about it!!  It’s gonna be a long process but if I can keep this up, I have a great feeling that I will be successful!

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram,  I will show you  some of the things I made this week.. ready?

Now you know what I have been doing in my “spare” time LOL… I am becoming a “foodie”.. LOL

Ok now for this week’s Bellarific Friday!  It was an inspiration photo

Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with for this challenge shall we??

We have a couple of Baberoonis who had to take this week off but they will be back next week for fresh inspiration!  Are these GORGEO-RAMA or what?

Now for da sistahood!

Great roundup!  We need more sistahs to play along don’t we?  Would love to see your creations!

Hiya!  How has your week been?  Well I have been busy busy busy.. packing orders, creating new images and COOKING.  I am telling you sistahs, this week has been insane in the kitchen.. however.. I am losing weight, feeling great and LOVING this program!!!  just wanted to share 🙂  Also had our first and last playoff game last night :(… Poor Ty.. the game went into overtime and they scored on him … It was a very upsetting night and DON’T EVEN ASK what went on in the car on the way home.  Why oh why did he choose such a position. It’s his dada’s fault LOL.

Ok enough about me.
let’s talk about this week’s challenge.  A gorgeous SKETCHYPOO!

Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?

Now are these inspiring or what??!?!  *sigh* I love my baberoonis and my sistahood so much… do you feel me SQUISHING you through the screen????

Now for said AMAZING sistahood 🙂

How’s DAT for a roundup?  I need to get crafty.. think I can stamp on a piece of chicken and kill two birds with one stone? LOLOL (I just made myself giggle..Im a nerd)

Next week’s challenge? OOOHHHH an inspiration challenge!  LOOK at these colours!!  Just incorporate the theme of the picture, the colours.. one colour, 2 colours…. which ever way this inspires you and send your creation to MOI .. k? k.

Mwah to da sistahs who will not give me a “late slip” LOL

Em

And I started another diet.. LOL.   But this one, I am hoping is for GOOD.  My house has accepted the WHOLE 30 challenge.. basically a paleo diet.  If I tell you that cooking for this is a full time job, I am NOT kidding LOL.. but it is soooo worth it.  I have found amazing recipes that my family is gobbling up and we are enjoying good clean whole food.  I LOVE IT!  If you are at all interested in something like this or are eating this way, I would LOVE to share recipes..  If I scroll back to all my posts I am SO embarassed at all the diets I have tried LOL.. omg.. it’s a day to day change.. but this time I don’t feel like this is a diet at all.. this is a way of life.  Jayden gave me the “hand” saying WHOAAA mama.. baby steps LOL.. and Tyler has embraced it wholeheartedly.. it’s actually amazing to watch.  Yes it is a lot of work but boy it is worth it.  I’ve been on it only 5 days and feel EONS better and have learned so so much! (that’s what happens when you drive to your march break destination and have nothing to do but read LOL).  If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen some of my meals this week 🙂

Ok enough BLABLA

BLING IT UP  was the theme this week.  Let’s see what our baberoonis have come up with shall we?

Hiya sistahs!

I am back and boy do I have work to do!  Florida was just beautiful and EXACTLY what the doctor ordered (although 3 out of 4 of us were sick for a few days).. The drive was SUPER long.. don’t think I will be doing that again.. LOL.. The kids behaved better than I did! LOL

Ok enough blabla.. I missed last Friday’s Bellarific Friday post.. it’s very small but of course packed with beauty 🙂

Last week’s theme was a SKETCHYPOO

Short notice so get crackin’ sistahs!

Mwah!

I missed you lots

Em

Well sistah’s if you follow me on FB you will know that we were coming to Florida for March break.  My DARLINNNGNG husband advised me that driving to Florida was on his bucket list.. how could I say no?  So on the third day in the car.. a couging achy Tyler and a splitting headache, I asked him if we are done with this driving nonsense.. LOL.. he said YES.. it’s now done and he’s happy… Until next year LOL.. There are certainly some advantages.. the biggest one being I DONT HAVE TO GO TO THE AIRPORT… there’s nothing I dislike more than airports.. oh and planes.. oh and people coughing and throwing up on planes.. Ok that’s another story.  LOL.  We are here safe and sound and trying to forget about the drive.. it’s kinda like childbirth no?

Ok Bellarific Friday this week was an inspiration sketch!
