One photo, every hour, for 10 hours, on the 10th day of the month.
My mom got me a juicer last Christmas and I am finally putting it to good use. This beautiful green drink contains 1 cucumber, 1 broccoli stalk, 4 romaine leaves, 1 large handful of spinach, 2 pears, 1 apple and 2 pieces of celery. I drank 2 glassfuls. All my vegetables and fruits first thing in the morning. Woot! And it is actually tasty. This is my first breakfast and roughly 2 hours later I have a snack. I am trying to change my eating habits for the better.
Max and Kate are fed, dressed and distracted. And Rhett is down for his morning nap which means I can get myself ready for the day. It proved to be too warm for a sweater so I changed.
I drop off Max and Kate at preschool and chat with Julie for a few minutes. Those few minutes are very stressful for Rhett who I left in the truck and when I return he is a sad, sad baby. I hand him a snack in the back seat and we run into the dollar store for a few items. He charms the snowbirds with his good looks and happy disposition.
We hurry home since someone is dropping by to buy a baby toy off us and we meet her at the door. Good timing. Then I bust out the dollar store goods and make Kate's Christmas present; play make-up. Let's hope the fumes air out by the big day.
Back in the truck to pick up the kids and they proudly show off the gingerbread houses they made. This is what I get when I asked them to smile. Turds.
Lunch and then the babes are in bed. I am left with a disaster of a house and take the time to tidy up. This doesn't show the four loads of laundry on my bed, the dirty bathrooms and so on.
The floors are screaming for attention and the steamer and I get busy. I love clean floors. They last less than an hour around here. Or in this case, a mere 20 minutes since the kids woke up right after I finished.
Play-time, aka how fast can we undo everything mom has done? The culprit there is waving his hands and bucket of blocks. He likes to walk by and just dump them and move on.
Dinner at 5 and soon Phil strolls in. He is everyone's favorite guy.
Phil takes the kids out on a walk to see neighborhood Christmas lights and I freshen up for a Christmas party, a much needed girls' night! Having a good hair day, I like my curls. Picked up the house a bit, left for the party as Phil and the kids walked in the door.
Good friends and an amazingly good time was had. I laughed so hard my face hurt.

I made your 10 on 10 post! Your hair did look fabulous! :)
Keeping it real girl...love your blog...love you
Your green juice looks amazing. I need to look into getting a juicer. Is it yummy or just tolerable?
Im totally copying your makeup gift for Kate. What a great idea to use nail polish.
I would die to have your curly hair! It is gorgeous! Glad you got to get away and have a fun night with friends.
First, I really can't get over the dentist you found to take Max and Kate to. It looks like that waiting room was belongs in Disneyland! I was feeling guilty about not having taken James to the dentist yet. But seeing that you just took them and you are so knowledgable about teeth I am probably still okay? I just hope our insurance covers a pediatric dentist, clearly that is the way to go!
Loved your 10 for 10 post this month. Totally jealous of your juicer and steamer! I've wanted both for some time, and this post makes me feel justified in my longing. Have you seen the documentary "fat sick and nearly dead"? It totally motivates me to want to eat better (as I munch my way through a bag of oreos).
Hope you guys have a VERY Merry Christmas and wonderful new year!
Love these posts! And love you. You are such an amazing mom and a beautiful one too!
