  />Since my grand daughters were born on Jan 1st, working out has been a major challenge!  Takes me back in time to when my kids were little … I think that’s when I gave up on working out before.  My own fault .. I’m kind of an all or nothing type of person.  So, I’ve decided I’m going to do what I can when I can this time and hopefully it will turn into a full routine again.  I’m going to set small goals at first and keep adding to them … which will probably drive me crazy!  LOL  Just want to thank all of you who have given me continued support through these past few months.  My new goal is to do the treadmill 6 days a week and 200 crunches every other day to get rid of the extra weight I’ve put on around my mid section.  I did do weights and met my goal today

Here is an updated photo of Lindsey and Lauren getting ready to go out in their first snow!  The other is of Melissa and Lauren.  We haven’t been able to catch Lindsey in the right mood and naked to get her pic yet!!  LOL

For women only …….  LOL

Just wanted to see how many men couldn’t resist reading this because of the title!  (James)  LOL  Be brave and leave a comment if I got u!  Seriously, I’ve had some emails asking what I do for my skin so I thought I’d write a blog on it.  First, let me say that I’m just lucky to take after my grandmother and look younger than my age, which was not fun in Jr high and high school!  I am enjoying it now though   I do notice my skin looks much better when I am eating right, exercising and especially NOT STRESSED!  I’ve tried lots of expensive wrinkle creams and they are always too harsh for me.  I have found two things that work and are CHEAP!!  Yea!!  I use extra virgin olive oil (yes, the cooking stuff - you can mix your fav fragrance with it) and Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E cream ($3 for 2 jars)  I’m always on the look out for new stuff though, so if you have a favorite let me know   Use them both right after a shower before drying off!

As for tanning … I grew up on a farm and worked in the sun every freakin’ summer!!  Loved the tan I got and never used sunscreen!  I’m starting to notice the affect it had on my skin now though!  Can anybody recommend any good self tanners or those spray tan things??
