Getting up at the A$% crack of dawn isn’t easy. The jarring feeling of the alarm clock going off at 5:00 a.m. makes my skin crawl. We’re so into sleep around here, that our alarm clock is in an entirely different room so that someone has to get up out of bed to go turn it off. The idea is that since the alarm clock is so close to the coffee pot, once we are up we will stay up and have a cup of coffee or tea instead of hitting the snooze button and crawling back into bed for another 10 minutes of bliss.

Swimming in variety (30/30/30: 16)
One important part of my 30/30/30 fitness goal has been to mix it up. And by “mix it up” I do not mean walk, elliptical, Pilates, repeat. This is what usually happens: I get stuck in the familiar cycle, get bored, give up and stay less-than-fit.
Yes, I have done my fair share of Pilates, elliptical workouts and walking this month, but I’ve also done some “running” (you know why it’s in quotes), a little yoga and today I swam.

30/30/30: 2 & 3 <— WTH does that mean?
When considering this fitness challenge I took into account the fact that I have a hour-long equipment Pilates class every Wednesday, which means eight of my 30 workouts would be taken care of.
So this morning on the first official day of this experiment (remember, I cheated and started yesterday) I got an email that my Pilates class was canceled for today because my instructor is sick.

Finally an iPad case for the modern mom
The general rules in iPhone and iPad case design over the last few years (or since the existence of these items) have been that the case must:
1. look like it belongs on a constructions zone (see the very-popular Otter Box),
2. be very masculine OR
4. have a “Hello Kitty” or other pre-teen motif
No longer, friends! I have discovered something wonderful. A company called Tech Candy has produced iPhone and iPad cases that are stylish, modern and fully functional.

This isn’t the Jacket Stable or the Slacks Cabin, ladies: It’s a Dress Barn GIVEAWAY!
Our family pictures were scheduled for 9:00 a.m. the next morning, which meant that if I didn’t find the perfect outfit there would be no time to find something else for the pictures, and my whole master Christmas card plan would fail. FAIL!

Thanksgiving style tips + a GIVEAWAY preview
As a blogger I often get pitches from companies wanting me to talk about their products. 90% of the time I ignore them, but a couple of weeks ago I got one that really caught my attention for a couple reasons:
It contained useful/relevant information (read: It had REALISTIC FASHION tips for fall)
It was from a store that I would NEVER shop in, but the picture had a dress that I instantly FELL IN LOVE with. What???

Cute Girls’ Hairstyles
This ENTIRE website/blog is devoted to fixing little girls’ hair. Think that seems silly?
You are WRONG!!!
I definitely need help in this department and these “how to” videos are perfect. All of the videos I watched are less than five minutes.
OH, and best of all, there’s a “Daddy ‘Do” section of videos that use an actual dad to demonstrate easy ‘dos for our big-handed better halves.

365EM
I rarely commit to long-term projects, so don’t get your hopes up. This is something new and shiny I saw on another blog and I want to give it a try: At least one picture from my day everyday.
