Happy Monday!

Good morning everyone! The weekend seemed to fly by, didn’t it? I’m happy to report that after being sick for two weeks I am finally starting to feel better! As soon as I can take a big breath without coughing up a lung, I’m going to make it back to the gym…so excited!
This weekend the husband and I just laid low. We both worked a few hours on Saturday (yuck!) and then just did some work around the house. Nothing exciting.

Anyway, I want to thank all of you who left comments on the Book Fail post recommending books to me! I can’t wait to read everything you guys love! I think I need to join Goodreads…has anyone on here joined and loved it? I just finished reading The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf and it was really good. Heartbreaking and sad, but good.

Right now I’m about a third of the way through with The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I have been wanting to read it for months now and I finally got it from the library. So far it is really good, but also heartbreaking. Hmm….I think we need an uplifting book next, don’t you?

    LOVE the lovely bones. . . amazing! and if you need uplifting and a series, i highly suggest some romance novels–they're amazing and such good beach reads (even if you dont have a beach). . . im glad you're feeling better! missed you!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
