World of Wifi

World of Wifi

This past week-end we traveled for a family reunion.  We had a wonderful time!  My family had a chance to spend some R & R with Amy and her family.  So where does the wifi come in?  
Well we had a 5 hour car ride each way.  I am pleased to say that we did not use electronics to entertain the kids in the car!  Last summer we went on a similar car ride and brought the iPad, iPod, portable DVD player, leap pad . . . If it had batteries or could be charged we brought it with us.
What a mistake!  I promised myself I would not do that again.  The kids argued, yelled, and cried!  Can you say stressful?  Well, my husband can.

We got in the car with NO electronics this time and had such an enjoyable car ride each way!
Yep! That is right! We enjoyed a 5 hour car ride with 2 kids!  
So what did we do for 5 hours?  
We talked about whatever the kids wanted to talk about, we sang, we played games and oh yeah the kids took a nap.  
I vow not to bring electronics in the again!!

How do you entertain your kids when you travel?

M.I.A.

Missing In Action

Last week I was asked if I still do healthy not crazy.  Well the truth be told,  since my kidney stones I have gained 30 pounds, and have been struggling with "how can I write if I am not there?"  Do I still care about what I eat?  Of course I do!  Do I still try to eat healthy? Of course I do!  So what is it? Why have I gained 30 pounds that I can NOT shake?
  Hmmmm. . .
So what has been going on to get me where I am today? Life! Duh! 
Wake up, Lisa! 
Life happens to everyone!  
We all do not have the same things going on in life however we all have something that is going on in our own life.  I am not going to bore you with my excuses, lets face it, I have been using "life stress" as an excuse.  I am here today to stop making excuses!  
Sooooooo. . .
 Who is with me?!?!
