Starting something new!

I can't believe that it is spring!  Okay so with the ice that covered my car this morning it may not feel like it is, but it is officially spring!  I love spring because this is when 50 degrees can feel amazing.  I also see it as a great time to start something new. 

This weekend I ordered my first wrist activity tracker.  For a person with a non smart phone this is very exciting for me.  I like that I can connect it to my tablet and actually see everything that I have been doing rather than having to input all the information myself (because that is so much more work).  I can't wait to get it and start moving.  I hope that it motivates me to get going and get those numbers moving. 

We are also moving this spring, 37 more days.  We are leaving the cities and moving out to the country.  For a city girl this is going to be a big change, but I can't wait to get started.  Let's just hope I have everything packed before we move!  Another big change that takes place with this move will be our food.  We are not bringing anything with us and this is a great way for us to better start our healthy eating.  I am personally doing good, down 6 pounds, but this is a great way to get my family on board.  I am hoping that I will also be able to take this time and start making more things from scratch, and I'm not just talking about food.  I am used to having a grocery store right down the street and I am not going to have that anymore so I want to make sure that if I run out of something I have everything I need to just make my own at home.  There will be lots of baking days with me new double oven!!

I will be keeping busy with lots of decorating and DIY projects.  This is also the year that Kael starts kindergarten, I think know I'm more nervous than he is.  I am also going to start teaching Ian preschool at home.  This is something I have always wanted to do but never really found the time or space to do it.  I can't wait to get started but will also put him into a few programs at the local park district to help him make new friends.  I can't believe that in just a few short months my little baby boy is going to be 1!  I am going to be planning a big DIY party.

With all these changes taking place I wanted to find a way to document them so that I would never forget our exciting year.  So I decided to start a mommy channel on youtube.com.  I will still be blogging but will now be making videos, as soon as I find my camera.  I will be honest it sounds so easy to sit down and talk into a camera, so much easier than sitting in front of a crowd of people but I have already had 6 takes.  I finally get it how I like it and my webcam had no sound!  I know that I will get there.  This is something I have been wanting to do for a very long time and can't wait to get started. 

If you want to watch me and see how I am doing on my weigh loss challenge, moving with three boys 5 and under, and all my diy projects check out my channel.  I can't wait to get started and see where the future will take us!
