February: I will try

My word for 2015 is try. You can read more about that here. I've decided that each month I'll focus on the things I'm going to try. January was pretty much trying to stay sane and all a big blur. There was lots of planning and moving parts in January so I've decided February would be a good place to start this new plan out. 
  • I will try to drink 4 "cups" of water each day at work. 
    • I've got a tumbler which I'm going to try and refill 4 times a day. The winter weather really dries out my skin and some extra H2O is always a good thing.
  • I will try to work out at least twice a week. 
    • This is a huge commitment for me seeing that I currently work out about zero times a week.
  • I will try to make 1 new healthy recipe each week. 
    • I seem to be on a theme this month so why not involve the whole family to get them to eat better.
And since more than 3 goals for the month seems overwhelming to me that's where I'm stopping. 

What will you try this month?

Meal Plan Week #4

This week will be a bit different for meal planning since I only have 3 days to plan for. As I mentioned last week the girls and I will be taking a trip to Florida to see my mom. So this meal plan is short, sweet and to the point. Let's go!

MONDAY: Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
I'm totally cheating, and my gal Marie (Calendar) is helping me out on this one.

TUESDAY: Quesadillas with Beans & Chips

WEDNESDAY: Breakfast for Dinner
I'll probably make pancakes and eggs unless something else is requested

Enjoy the week, I know I will!

Travel Bug

Our family is catching the travel bug this year. We've got tons of ideas of where we'd like to go and some trips are already planned. Here's our 2015 Travel Bucket List.

Girls Trip to Florida
My mom moved to Florida last year so the girls and I are headed down for a weekend near Sarasota. We are hoping to visit Legoland since the girls have heard all about it from their cousins who went over Winter Break.

Western Caribbean Cruise!
We are taking a Disney cruise that leaves from Florida and makes stops in Cozumel Mexico, Falmouth Jamaica, Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands and of course Disney's own island Castaway Cay. It will be 7 days of awesome adventures!

Niagara Falls
Since we will have gotten our passports for the cruise, we thought we'd head up to Niagara Falls and then we could venture into the Canadian side. 

North Carolina
It's been a few years since we've made a trip down to NC to visit my Dad who lives there. Maybe we'll have a little mountain adventure while we're there. 

Of course we'd love to go more places, but this is what's on the list for this year. 

Getting out of Indiana is always a good thing in our minds and we try to go to new place each time. Last year we managed trips to Disney World (Florida), Chicago, Mammoth Cave (Kentucky) and Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. We also made our standard trips to Indianapolis and Pentwater, MI to visit family.

Where are you going? Where do you recommend we go next year?
