We are going week two of potty training Ethan and well...*for the most part* he's doing pretty good. The *other part* ehhh...not so crazy about, but at least now we only have one kid in diapers instead of two. We'll for sure have to get our carpets cleaned pretty soon (especially his bedroom...) and I have many more opportunites to deep clean our bathroom. :) I am hoping that the next baby, Max will be out of diapers but hey. We'll cross that bridge when we have to.

I discovered the joy of homemade playdough. How has it taken me this long to figure that one out!? It entertains the kids for hours! and it's SO EASY to make.

My brother in law, Emerson, is here for 6 weeks while he is job training and we were able to spend some time with him during general conference weekend. It's fun having family close by for the time being.

Last week I went on a no sugar diet and overall did 90% good and lost 5lbs. It helped that Justin was gone for 3 solid days of that week (I eat better when he is away) and that the last day was fast Sunday. I debated on saying this but lets be real...fasting for a full 24 hours can be intense. I can count on one hand how many times I have done it in my life but the principle of fasting is something that I really want to gain a solid testimony of.

5 more pounds to go and I get a professional massage!! I like to set up weight challenge goals and reward myself. :) Excited for that massage that I've been waiting forever for! I pretty much have been stagnant since September. I just need to buckle down and use the Medifast products that I have. I know that it's helped me lose weight in the past. I just need to do it...no ifs ands or buts.
