1. I cannot figure out this whole background blog thing...I will continue to mess with it and hopefully things will start to piece together.
2. I have officially lost 21 pounds! Can you believe it??? I feel amazing and have gained a new found confidence. The discipline that I have had with food now has stemmed over into other areas of my life...its been AWSOME!
3. I can now run 5 miles without stopping with the double jogging stroller...and I actually LIKE it! The boys and I look forward to our morning runs and really love these cooler mornings! The route I take has sheep, prairie dogs, birds, ponds and lots of other runners/walkers/bikers...it keeps us entertained!
4. I have dropped Baker's morning nap! With Jacob I did not drop the morning nap until 18 months...and Baker is only 14 months. He is a lot younger...but it is so nice having our mornings free and not have to work around his nap. Also, when they go down they are ready to sleep and they take really LONG, good naps! Leaves me enough time in the afternoon to get my chores done, check my email/facebook/blog and I can even lay done for a short while! Its been nice.
5. I have finished painting the inside of the house...its looks beautiful and really feels like our home. Paint adds SO much to a room! I have a couple little book shelves I want to paint other then that I am done with BIG projects for now...I will post pictures soon!
6. My house is ready for fall! I have my pumpkin spice candles out, my fall decorations in place, and fall colored dish towels ready for use! I LOVE it! In a couple weeks we will head to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins! This really is my favorite time of year!
7. I am hooked on Gilmore Girls right now! I can not get enough!

I am so impressed with your dedication...congrats on sticking with it!!! I love this time of year too and you are reminding me I need to put more decorations up! And I am jealous of your napping success :)
Thanks Caitlin! Hobby Lobby is the BEST place to find cute, cheap fall/holiday decorations! I get a few new ones there every season...my collection is growing!!
Awesome!! I'm so proud of you. Sounds like things are good at The Staples House :) xoxo
Kari that is AWESOME! You have inspired me! Having 4 babies in 6 years has taken it's toll on my body. I need to get it back healthy...there is a huge risk of diabetes in my family and your success is just the push I needed! Great job!
Way to go, Kari!! That is a great accomplishment!
LOVE Gilmore Girls...the girls and I used to watch it regularly as a girls' night in college in the dorms! Jealous of fall decor! One day I will have enough...
And paint, along with PICTURES truly does make it feel so much more warm and home-like. Have a couple more rooms to go here!
