      I have definitely gotten motivated this last couple of days and stuck to the plan. I actually did ripped in 30 too. So I think I am finally getting on the other side of it.

    Keep up the great work! I am in week 2 of my journey (2nd time around with Medifast), so I'll be following you for motivation and inspiration. I was at my goal weight in 2012 but here I am again... Exercise is tough for me too, so I had to find a way to get moving while including my kid. So, Santa brought my son a bike and we are hitting the sidewalks and park. He pedals and I follow. I tell him he's my 6 year old personal trainer! :) Best of luck to you!

      Awesome. I will be checking out your posts. I was at my goal weight in 2011 after I had my son and lost it all by breastfeeding. Then it came back on with a vengeance. Thanks so much for stopping by. That is great about your son. My son is also 6 but he doesn't like riding his bike, then I have Carsyn in his wheelchair so that is difficult. I think I may start doing the 30 day shred. That doesn't take much time and works well.

Welcome

I'm Sarah and I am the writer behind this blog. I love sharing recipes, DIY projects, photos and about my everyday life. I married my high school sweetheart Kenny. We have three boys and one baby girl - Dustyn, Carsyn, Prestyn, and Annelyn. Thanks for stopping by, can't wait to get to know you more. Read More…

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
