Project: Tidy it Thursday: How to Organize Kids Toys! Had a lot of fun with this one and we’re really happy how it turned out. Thanks to my wonderful best friend Jackie for this vision!

• Time: many days worth!
• Would I do it again? yes! I loved how this turned out and the girls even keep it together! With the labeled bins it’s easier at pick up time to make sure things get to their original homes.
• What I would do differently: nothing 😉 I really like this one.
• Items used: Ikea Expedit Shelving unit, Ikea Branas baskets, Ikea plants and pots, our own books and toys, Ikea bird picture and frame, Target Hydrangeas, and great organizing labels from: http://betterhomesandgardens.com , organizing idea from:  merrimentstyle.com

Wear it Wednesday: fit momma: My 15 minute Insanity Workout with Dr. Oz and Shaun T.!

My 15 minute Insanity Workout with Dr. Oz and Shaun T.!

“PINSPIRATION”, FROM PINTEREST:

• Project: Wear it Wednesday: fit momma: My 15 minute Insanity Workout with Dr. Oz and Shaun T.!
• Difficulty rating (1=easiest, 5= way too hard!): 3 possibly a 4!
• Time: 15 minutes! Amazing!
• Would I do it again? Most definitely, and yes, this is a picture of me right after I completed the workout, so disregard the “glistening look”.
I really like that it was only 15 minutes. It’s so hard to squeeze in a workout with 2 little ones home from school. I typically like to go on a run, hike, or go do yoga, all of which take a lot longer than little ones can usually take, so this 15 min workout is just what I need on tight days!
• What I would do differently: The first time I did it I really got winded! I toned it down on a few reps, but the next time I kicked it up a level. Like Shaun T. says, its ok to slow down or take a break, just as long as you do more the next day!
• Items used: my MacBook with Dr. Oz’s video with Shaun T’s 15 minute Insanity workout ( doctoroz.com ) and Lululemon gear (my favorite!).
