day 20 & a 2011 planner giveaway!

day 20!!!!

lest you think you can give up today...take a rest..or even get lazy...

think again.

It's when we get lazy & think it's OK to 'rest'...that we slip back.

yes.

even one day. i tell ya!

I've had it happen to me!

so, don't let it happen to you!

On our road to success, we go forward or backward...we don't stay still.

Even when you take a day off, you are going backward...not forward.

If you've learned anything from this  I hope it's that when you take it one step at a time, and you are consistent...you will move forward & reach the destination you have been headed toward.

Keep going...

and..how about something to help you plan your course throughout 2011?

For 2010, I've been using myBook planner for my House of 3 Simply Amazing journey. And, I LOVE it! Well, they've generously offered one 2011 planner for me to giveaway!

so.....talk to me, girls! 

I'll announce the winner of that tomorrow, our last day, &....the 21 winners of the Compendium giveaway, too!

Here's to moving forward...not backward!

let the magic act begin....

....the disappearing act, if you will.  Summer Vacation starts in just a few days, & although school is not out officially, I've been busy with the kids' 'festivities' every. single. day. for the past 2 weeks! LOL...hence my MIA status on the blog.


but now.....the real magic act begins....the magic of Motherhood during the Summer...& trying to keep it real during the vacation. 

Don't get me wrong:
I love sleeping in.
I love being with my kids all day long.
I love the sun & summer & swimming & being outdoors 'til 10pm to see the sunset.
I love adventures. 
I love making memories with each other.
I love spontaneous trips...& planned trips.
I love 'cousin swapping' & having FUN with my nieces & nephews.
I love hiking in the gorgeous Utah mountains.
I love girls' camp. I love Scout camp.
I love Lake Powell & the houseboat!
I love river trips.
I love camping.
I love being with my gorgeous, loving, fantastic husband....


but....wow. I'm exhausted already!  How can I do this magic act of being a loving Mother during Summer Vacation????

I've done a lot of soul searching & planning & revisiting summer plans from years gone by....

And I set some big goals.

For myself. & for our family.
 Myself:  I set some big goals at the beginning of the year in my Simply Amazing book! And one of the first is ...my half marathon. um...yea. I'll let you know how it goes!

Family:  I have all my new schedules all typed out, printed, put in individual books & ready to roll! Our first adventure starts the *minute* school gets out. Literally. We are headed for some FUN & our Summer starts off with a *bang*. I'll tweet & post on my facebook as the journey unfolds.
I'm pretty excited about our little 'summer books' I've created for each of us...I think this will be the key to our success as we let the Summer Magic begin....


What's on your list? And how has you planned your summer? Can't wait to hear....it'll be *magical* I'm sure!

Monday Monday....
