Ouch and double OUCH!

I had my first session with my personal trainer at the gym today and may I just say 'OUUUUUCCCCHHH', my legs are still jelly and it is hours later haha. All in all the pain is good as it meant I had a good and worthwhile exersize session, she made me do squats, lunges, push ups, weights, boxing and a boxing-sit up combo OUCH! BUT i am looking forward to next week with her :) hehe


I see Carrie just popped up my latest layout on Paper Trunk BLOG, still using this awesome girlie range that is just PERFECT for summery fresh layouts. Add in some AL diecut paper and some prima bling and you have a quick and easy layout :)


Can't believe that Katie finished a WHOLE magnum ice cream, oh my goodness poor girl takes after her mummy and her love for sugar!!! Might have something to do with me and bad things I had to eat while pregnant with her????


So glad it is almost weekend!!! Am hanging out for easter long weekend at the end of March, working 5 days a week, even if it is only mornings is just 'getting' to me lol. I'll love and leave you all till monday when I will give you a pencil lines update and hopefully share some BIG news :)

have an awesome friday and a beautiful precious weekend!!!

And so is some of the alphas in the title!!

So me and Leon did the young thing and stayed up till 2 am doing what we do, me reading a book, him playing games. Slept in till 10ish. aaaaaaahhhhh that is the life. It was SO relaxing even if we missed Katie.

BUT reality strikes in when I have to wash and iron work clothes and get ready for work on Monday. BUT of course their is ONE good thing about Mondays and that is that it is PENCIL LINES day!!!!
