Have anyone of you guys ever heard of a dip bar??  I came across this website today that sells them and they are a pretty cool idea if you are into working out multiple muscle groups. Both the dip bars and doorway pull up bars engage critical core muscles and are rewarding and fun.  Would definitely be something to think about if you are looking for a gift for your hubs or boyfriend for Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!

I seem to keep coming back to this, whether to take or NOT to take a weight loss pill.  I haven’t had a very good experience with them in the past, but since it’s been so long since I’ve tried one, and they are coming out with so many different ones today, I decided to check into it.  I found a website that is a review source for some of the best weight loss pills on the market.  It combines their research with reviews from people like me that have actually tried them.  Very informative site, you should check it out today!

I’ve often wondered this, although I’ve never tried a wrinkle cream before.  I guess I never felt the need, but now that I’m am approaching 40 (ugh…just typing that made me cringe), it might be something I should look into.  I found this website EyeCream.org.  It provides reviews for some of the best eye creams and wrinkle creams on the market.  Definitely something to check out!

Wow, I’m pretty shocked that I haven’t posted on this blog since….umm…..January!!  That’s a really long time, and a lot has happened in the mean time.  I wish I could say that I’ve lost tons of weight, and have some amazing before and after pictures for you, but that just isn’t the case.  I will say, that I have maintained my current weight, so that’s a plus.

We finally got our family moved to a really great location with a wonderful school district.  My MIL lives only about 2 miles away, so that has been nice.  She has been a major help!  We are currently doing the apartment thing, until we get our house sold, then plan on house hunting some time next year.  But it has it’s benefits.  We have a swimming pool and a gym, which I plan to make full use of once the kids are in school…only 2 more weeks!

In the meantime, I’ve been thinking of going back to work as well.  The cost of living is just a tad bit higher here, but still completely worth it.  I have experience in accounts payable, collections, and I briefly worked in the retail industry, but spending all day long with barcode scanners isn’t my idea of fun, so probably won’t go that route.  I’ve got my resume updated and have been sending it out for various positions, so we’ll see.

Anyway, great to be back, and I promise to keep this blog updated!

Just wanted to touch base with everyone.  I’m still maintaining my weight, so no gains or losses to report.  We are just busy preparing for the holidays.  To be honest, I’ll be glad when it’s over.  Money is tight this year, so Steven and I won’t be getting each other anything for Christmas this year.  Atleast, nothing big like one of those cool tv lifts for our flat panel (maybe income tax time).  We are just more or less concetrating on stuff for the kids.  Which is fine with me.

Steven has been working for a brand new casino in a town about an hour north of here.  He was previously working in Baton Rouge, but we just couldn’t see ourselves moving there.  This other casino was offering some great incentives (higher base pay, immediate insurance, etc), so he just couldn’t pass it up.  Turns out the schools are great there too, and there is one in particular that has special education classes set up for autistic children.  Not sure if I had mentioned this before on this blog, but my 7 year old son, Christopher was diagnosed with autism at the age of five.  This school would be a perfect solution for us.  So we are preparing to move after the first of the year.

But right now, we are just trying to get through and enjoy the holidays, and trying not to let the stresses of money dampen our Christmas spirit.  Today we are putting up our outside decorations, so I’m excited about that, maybe I’ll post a picture later.  Until then…I’m out!
