The Frustrations of buying a home!

Ugh... i just want answers already... were still waiting to find out if were home owners of that adorable little house with the red front door! it seems like the seller is messing with us..but the realtor seems to think well know before the weekend!
Ive been going crazy on pinterest with ideas for whatever home i have! I'd love to share them with you guys since obviously we all know I'm crazy about house design :)

Love this...made with random letters and painted different colors

Definitly going to have the love letters above our bed... :)

Mason jar light fixture....DIY... derek and i have loved since we saw on the DIY Network

Must have a "Drop Zone" an area where shoes and bags and extras can get dropped so this Mommy doesnt have stuff everywhere... (the house with red door..has a perfect laundry room area for this)

I love the idea of built in dog kennels..(also in mudd room) for our wrinkle babies.. keeps it looking nice instead of being dog crates randomly in the house (like we have now) so ugly! lol

Now little Miss Rheagan cant expect anything far from a pretty pink & perfect little girls room. Ive got lots of plans for her room...all DIY stuff of course..why else did I spend so much on design school lol

The glitter wall!!!! HGTV says if you mix a gallon of glue with glitter, then paint with it, the glue will dry clear... Bam!! Glitter wall!!

Hers will be pink of course! Do we not know who her mother is lol..sparkle and pink equals perfect!

I absolutly LOVE these tissue paper flower poofs! Also DIY and so perfect for a little girls boutique room...

And what backyard wouldnt be perfect without a playhouse! When I was a little girl my dad built us a playhouse identical to our home... Derek is going to have his work cut out with this one :)

Well theres of course many more projects we have in mind (okay maybe I have in mind..but Hubby will be doing) lol... But i dont want to get too excited till I know our offer has been accepted! So keep crossing those fingers we hear from news this weekend! Then who wants to come help DIY our house lol :)

Juggling being a working mommy & getting fit

I've always struggled with trying to fit a work out in with my busy 40 hours a week job and being a mommy... its tough to find the time for yourself without feeling selfish!
Before my sisters wedding i was doing kettlebell religiously 3-4 times a week, and juggling the rheagan duties.. i was super exhausted but the results were amazing!

Now that ive moved to a job in east county & kettlebell isnt as realistic for me as i would like... (why cody needs an east county gym too) i have joined a gym down here and am going whenever i can. ive found a schedule that gets me in there 4-5 times a week...but is it enough???!!!
mondays- after work
tuesdays- on lunch
wednesdays-before work
thursdays- on lunch
fridays- before work

its a schedule that only allows me 45 minutes- an hour each time. So ive been doing 20-30 mins of cardio on the eliptical or treadmill and then going into their classroom to do kettlebells on my own. Ive found doing 50-100 snatches ( a move where you swing the kettlebell between ur legs then thrust it above ur head in a motion like zipping a jacket up) 50 swings, crunches and turkish get ups has given me quiet a good work out and i leave exhausted.

But since the wedding my nutrition and diet hasnt been the same. I was doing no carbs & no sugar ..
I came within 3 lbs of my goal to loose 38 lbs! and after the wedding i began to allow my self to cheat a little more each day. Before i knew it i wasnt being strict and had gained 8 lbs since the wedding. So now its time to get serious again!

Tips for not snacking on bad things at work:
I make sure to stock my desk & the fridge with only good things..and no cash so i cant go to the vending machine. when im hungry i drink water first to see if its me being bored or actually hungry. heres some things i like to snack on:
apple slices with peanut butter
carrots
avacados with seasoning salt

lunches... if i dont have time to make something ahead of time.. i go out for a salad. quiznos has amazing cobb salads! Other than that... their is plenty of places who have chicken.. or panda express sells panda bowls with veggies and mandrian chicken ...

We've officially put an offer in on House #2... and this one i couldnt be more excited about... The last one we did they counter offered us higher than we were willing to go..but it lead us to a more perfect house for us & totally my style :)

We did our offer Thursday night & are patiently waiting to hear back from the owners :)
I cant wait this house could have so many cute ideas that i have already pinned on Pinterest from just my style :) ill keep you all posted! fingers and toes crossed for us please !!!
