3 in 30 – Check Up

Here’s my progress report:

Relationship With God
I am so happy to report I am still reading a chapter of Proverbs every morning.  I use the Psalms and Proverbs plan in the morning and the Life Journal plan at night from YouVersion.  It’s been a great way to start and end the day.
Social Media Participation
I have participated in not just one but several blog hops this month. I’ve added so many new peeps to my blog reader.  It has been SO TOTALLY worth the challenge of finding the time to blog read & write.
Organization
The cabinets with the food storage containers all falling out…well…um…they’re still waiting for me.

To all my 3in30 friends: keep up the good work!

Thankful Thursday

I’m so excited to be participating in my first Thankful Thursday post!

I am thankful for a kind and supportive husband.

He has been wonderfully helpful by entertaining our busy three year old in the evenings to give me blogging time.  Even though he really doesn’t “get it” when it comes to social media, he honors my need for a little time to myself.  I appreciate and love him so much.

Weight Loss Wednesday- Week 2

I’m still in!  I’ve done a thirty minute cardio- workout every other day.  I’ve been using the Dance Central and the Your Shape Xbox Kinect video games. It’s so much fun!  I need to adjust my schedule to work out before my son wakes up.  He just can’t stay out of the action which makes it hard to keep up my momentum.

My goal to limit eating out to once a week was shot. We traveled out of town over the weekend to celebrate Christmas with Hubby’s family. I’ll just have to buckle down this week in that department. Still… I lost two pounds.  Yippee!

Sensory Bins Are Magic!

I’ve read a lot about sensory bins and how little ones learn so much through sensory exploration.  SO I made a sensory bin for my preschooler. He LOVES it!  I did it for the educational aspect.  If I had only known…it kept my 3yo occupied for an hour.  That’s right, I said a whole HOUR.  It’s the closet thing to real magic that I’ve ever heard of.

I filled a plastic bin with dry rice, plastic measuring cups, utensils, and some tiny wooden blocks.  I spent less than $5.00 at the dollar store on the contents and a vinyl tablecloth to contain any mess.  It was great watching him explore: sifting, pouring, and inspecting each item. We talked about how the rice felt, concepts like bigger & smaller, inside & outside, and full & empty.  It seems so simple but it’s really a great learning opportunity.  It went over so well, I plan to do another and fill it with seasonal items.
