The holidays are here in full swing!  I have gotten a little slack on diet and exercise but that will be back on the front burner as soon as my 'unhappy' time passes.  Meanwhile I am working like a fiend trying to find the best deals on all our Christmas obligationsand gifts   as well as slowly plugging along  knocking down the total of our Disney trip for next year.  Our original number was $3500-200 deposit we need to raise 3300.  Thanks to a cyber Monday deal I got a $50 discount plus I am waiting on a $50 gift card I requested from My points so that brings our total down to 3200.   I am earning a LOT of money on the new reward site I have been using Sunshine rewards.(there is a banner link on the join and earn page of this blog).  I joined Nov 8th and I am already up over $60.  After the new Year when the weather warms I will be organizing a yard sale to go toward the find and not long after will be the spring consignment sale.   

That is all for now I believe.  In case I don't have another chance, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Boy have I been busy!  With what? Well I am glad you asked!  Little Waffle started her competition season so gymnastics has been really crazy.  They have had two meets so far with two more before the State competition.  She has done pretty well but nothing to write home about, lol.  She is qualified for State and that is the most important thing.  We have another meet this weekend and I know she has come a long way since the last meet so I am hoping for good things BUT it is a HUGE meet so lots of competition.  So we will see.  

The next thing keeping me busy is my Biggest Loser Challenge that I have taken part in.  I have put in extra time exercising and watching my food intake.  I was doing really well for awhile, down 22 lbs until last weekend when I went to a concert and somehow came home 6 lbs heavier!  By the weigh in last Sat I had ballooned up 10 lbs!  I am down about 1/2 of that but still so much further to go that I shouldn't have had to deal with.  I am not going to beat myself up though, it is what it is! 

Finally I have taken on a couple of at home businesses that I am hoping will help me fund our next trip to Walt Disney World!! One is Jewelry in Candles.  You know those candles that have become all the rage with jewelry in the wax?  These are GREAT!

Please take a minute and let me know what you think!  The first person to order 5 candles will get a free gift!!

I am also an affiliate with Spirit Lockets.  They are lockets and charms. There are even bracelets which I am really digging!!  Look around here and please feel free to buy!!!

I decided to start from scratch with a whole new set up and try to combine everything I am interested in all on one website rather than just having a blog.  This will be a work in progress for awhile, I hope I like this site I chose.  Join me for the ride! 

The first thing I would like to update people about is my diet.  I know a lot of people were keeping up with my adventure last year.  I have kept the weight off but tried a lot of other versions of HCG, none of which have worked, since then.  So now I have decided to return to what worked.  I will be starting the HCG injections again as soon as my order arrives.  More on that when it gets here.

Secondly, school  my daughter generally known on my blogs as Little Waffle is really not so little anymore but we will stick with the name until I can get creative enough to come up with a new one.  Anyway, Little Waffle will begin third grade on August 27th, more about my plans for her in a separate post.  Baby Waffle (who is now 4) will begin pre-k on August 26th.  He continues to receive speech therapy twice a week and is really having attachment issues so he will be going to a state funded pre-k.  I have pretty much decided to decide how I handle his education as he progresses.  It will depend on how he is acting by the end of school year whether he goes to public kindy or joins us at home. 

Finally, I make it my mission to find any site I can to earn money.  I will never get rich with these sites but hey a dollar is a dollar and it is all building to go towards our next trip to Disney.  I am working on a separate area especially for listing the sites I find that I have been making any amount of money on.  Please take a minute and sign up for any you find interesting!!!  That is all for now....more soon!
