Ten on Ten: January 2015

Happy Ten on Ten!! One of my blogging goals for the year was to do this every month this year! I love when the 10th is on a Saturday, more interesting stuff seems to happen then. I am also doing Project 365 (one photo everyday!!) and will be posting a monthly super picture here. So, are you ready??? Here they are:

9ish I quit the Keurig and I'm officially my mother.

10- Getting her Lego on.

11-Photo by Jack: Game time. It was close, they lost by 1 point!

12- Started the Pizza dough

1- Oh Bread. I make all of our sandwich bread now. Delicious baking therapy.

2- My mom's copy. Read after bread.

3- Movie time. Cast Away

4- She shares my love for bread.

5- Homemade pizza for dinner!

6- She was so proud of her pie!

Ten on Ten on the 12th of October

I'm getting there.  Eventually I'll get my working mom rhythm but until then just bear with me :).  The tenth was a fun day.  I picked my oldest up from running club and came home to find my sweet girls curling their hair with my mom.  Good memories.  I love that she was doing something my Gram did with me.  So here is my ten on ten on the twelfth.  Head on over to Rebekah's blog, a bit of sunshine, if you haven't yet and check out her amazing work and the other entries which are amazing too!

6am- My breakfast buddy and Tom Jones.  Love this kid even early in the morning.

7am- I'm out the door, but they are all chowing down still.  Love these cuties.

8am- Already on the second cup.  

9am- Time to moisturize.  I'm a bit obsessed with all things L'Occitane

10am- Beautiful organization. By year and date beautiful!

11am- Smile on work buddy.

12pm- Sometimes I eat lunch at my desk just so I can get some Pinterest in.

1pm- Unfortunately there wasn't an express line.

2pm- The view from my office.  Well, someone's office.  The view of a picture from my office.

4pm- Good gracious she's mine.  Her curls had given up about 30 minutes later, just like mine used to do.

 So there it is.  I really love my new job, I'm just still working out the balancing act of how to keep it all together, remain sane and be 100% present with my kids when we are together.  Well the 100% present part I'm loving and love being that way for my kids, its trying to get my laundry routine down that I'm struggling with!

September 2012 Ten on Ten

What a fun and exhausting 10th, I took four kids to the dentist by myself, enough said.  I know its the 12th already but here you go.  The pics are all from my phone.  I didn't even Instagram them so excuse the lack of quality.  I love this time of year, so full of change and excitement.  Number 10 may just be my favorite.  Make sure you check out Rebekah's blog, a bit of sunshine, and see the other Ten on Ten entries.  Beware, you will stay up past your bedtime looking at fabulous pics :) don't say I didn't warn you.

5am-My new workout buddy, meet Tom Jones, he P90X'd it with me.

6am-It's a straight hair, coffee and bagel kind of day.

7am-I love that she helps the little ones

8am-Waiting to see the dentist at the bottom of the jungle.

9am-Regan is a superstar.  4 kids and ZERO cavities.  Go Me!

10am-Waiting for the older ones to be finished.

11am-Lunch and ice cream to celebrate being cavity free (and not having to make lunch!). 

12pm-Tom and Regan.  Note the outfit change.  Of course we can't wear a shirt with ice cream on it.

1pm-First undies, clean and ready to wear.  I'm not sure I'm ready though.

2pm-My big boy (who would not stay still) in his new undies. He's been asking to go and I'm hoping that he will potty train a million times easier than Regan, or Ellie or Ethan (crossing fingers).

July 2012 Ten on Ten

So today is the tenth and I haven't blogged since forever.  More about that tomorrow.  If you haven't done a ten on ten before you can read more about it at a little bit of sunshine.  Rebekah's blog is lovely to say the least, beware, you will stay awhile!  I just downloaded Instagram and today is my first day ever of using it, so all of today's ten are from my phone and Instagrammed!  I get all the hype now.

9am-Playing doctor in the exam room.

10am- Tough guy didn't cry when he got a shot.

11am- Waiting for lunch.

12pm- Frying pans, who knew right?

1pm- Our first ripe strawberry, it may be our only one if some small people keep picking the green ones!

2pm- Daily summer math time.  School is cool.

3pm- Today's art themes included self portraits and design a house.

4pm- Swinging with Mom

5pm- Snuggling on the couch.  Okay so I was the only one for most of the time.

6pm- Laughing at Jack.  

I think I like this Instagram thing.  Happy Ten on Ten and thanks for dropping by!

June 2012 Ten on Ten

I would have had my Ten on Ten posted yesterday, but my husband send me a link to a zombie game called Rebuild for my phone.  Oh my word I couldn't put it down!!!  We did pretty much nothing on the tenth.  The only thing on the agenda was to watch the F1 Canadian Gran Prix at 1pm.  Saturday was a much more eventful day.  I ran a 5k in the morning and we had a late movie date that night at the theater (gasp!).  The old grey mare ain't what she used to be.  My early 20's self could have gone to the bar after the movie and closed it down.  Instead we went home and I was in bed by 1:30.  Lame.

8am- Jack watching Regan "build a fire so she could make s'mores,"
they really, really, really like s'mores.

9am-  Poor Ethan, after that fire building didn't work out the
little ones invaded his Lego building.

10am- Caught sneaking Almond Milk!!

11am- It would be nice if Jack didn't rip them off.  

12pm- Fresh garlic from the Farmer's Market.
It's a variety from Kazakhstan and it's so good! 

1pm- Time for homemade chili and dogs and my boyfriend
Fernando Alonso in his Ferrari.

2pm- The "Rock Garden" jar in the kitchen.

3pm- My favorite pillow to nap on.

4pm- Regan gets to go to my Mom's house for 2 whole nights all
by herself.  She is so thrilled!  It's a big girl privilege.

5pm- After chili dogs for lunch I needed a salad for dinner.
It did not disappoint!
