Another good week start

This week started great again, I really love summer. We got an ice Cream maker the other day and we love it. Tomorrow it's Lars' turn and he wants to make Rocky Road. So that's what we'll do.
My workouts are doing great, I am actually about to head to the gym again. I missed working out and I am so thankful for my best friend that she kicked my butt back into gear.
Now I just need to get my finances straightened out, with me not working anymore, things got a bit tight.
Things I am doing to work on this:
Meal Plan
Use Coupons
Try to use up things in the freezer and the pantry.

Other things I need to work on, is getting my house back in order, work more on charity stuff. I am getting slowly, the last year has really been rough on me. But things are getting better.

second week of summer vacation

Yesterday was a great day, both kids are grounded from TV and guess what? They did not miss it, they build a fort in the game room, we went to the library and they got to play with their friends. So the rule now is: 1hr of TV per day. I enjoyed seeing them play with each other instead just sitting on the couch. Anika and her friend decided to read the same book and have a book club.
I also borrowed a classic, in Switzerland we did not have to read Shakespear, Dickens or Homer, so I got David Copperfield. I hope to get started on it today.
Today: I am doing laundry, gotta do some work and then at 6pm I am heading up north to the Gym and take a Aqua Athletic class.
For Dinner tonight we are having a favorite of mine: Steamed Cabbage with ground Beef and Farfalle. It's a dish my mom used to make and I really like it and so do the kids. I am blessed with non picky eater kids. :)
Yesterday I made Spaghetti Carbonara, but a healthier version and it was a success as well.
I am really enjoying cooking again, for a while I did not cook, but we have now at least one new recipe a week.

Live has been insane

Well, it's been 2yrs since I wrote my last blog, so this has to change. Here we go.
It's summer vacation and the kids already are driving me batty. How is that possible? Well they are fighting and annoy each other. It's been raining for the past 2 days, so no swimming either. *sigh
Tomorrow afternoon, we are headed to the library, I wanna read some classics, can you believe that I have never read Shakespeare? That is one of the goals for this summer.
Also major decluttering has to happen here, it is getting pretty embarrassing in my house.

Oh and lots of cooking will happen, I will try new recipes and hope to loose weight again.
So this is my life in a nutshell right now.
