Christmas time is here
It is Christmas Eve and I can safely say I finally wrapped all my presents last night. Wow what a task! It is gift bags for everyone/everything from now on! I am kidding, sort of.
We will be heading up to good old Ashland for the afternoon/evening to celebrate Christmas with my family and then back to Dublin we go to await the arrival of Santa Claus! The boys are so excited and I love listening to them talk about Santa and what he will bring them. Though Santa is a great guy, even if I did wrap all his presents, I have to say my favorite part of the season is getting to spend time with my family. I love that on Christmas morning we can lounge around and not be rushed. It seems that all too often we are rushing through life and never really get to stop and enjoy each other. I am really looking forward doing that over this long weekend!

Who doesn't love a challenge!
I don't know about you guys but if there is a challenge I will most likely enter it and hope to win. At work I am always one of the first to sign up for whatever the challenge of the moment is. It makes me happy to win or at the least beat a lot of other people. I kid I kid (well sort of kid).
Since the new year is only weeks away and I need a salt and sugar detox like it is my job, my favorite workout/blog/everything company Barre3 is to the rescue. Beginning January 5th and running for 4 weeks they will be hosting a challenge to help everyone get back on track with their mind, body and health. I did the spring challenge not long after I started going to Barre3 and the support you get from it is unprecedented.
Each week of the challenge participants will:
All joking aside this is a great time of year to recommit to yourself. I have found that since starting Barre3 last April, I have never felt better about myself. I have made so many new friends at the studio and my Barre3 Columbus family helps me more then they know!
So why not do something for yourself this year and join me in the challenge! Even if there is no prize for a top winner, the actual prize is feeling better about yourself and your body. I don't think there is any prize greater then that!
You can buy your kit at your local studio or online. I know I will be picking mine up tonight!

Mornings
HELLLOOOO! Long time. Sorry about that. Trying to get some semblance of normalcy and routine in the house. If anyone knows how please let me know!
Per the title I am going to talk about mornings. Mornings are not my thing. You know when someone says they are a morning person, I just sort of look at them and think "Yeah right, LIAR, I bet you got here today by unicorn too!". That is what I am thinking if you have ever told me you are a morning person.
There are allegedly 2 types of people in this world, morning people and night owls. I think there has to be a 3rd type because I am neither of the previous two. I don't like to get up and I REALLY like to go to sleep though I do tend to get a second wind. I am able to stay up later when I push myself to stay up so I think I have some night owl tendencies but I turn into a pumpkin no matter what around 11 pm!
I think about how much more I could get done if I was either a morning person or night owl. Wouldn't it be nice to get up so early (and like it) that you can workout, shower, make a breakfast, and then get your kids up and ready. What a glorious scenario. Though I dream of one day having the will power to do that in the morning, it has evaded me.
For the night owls, my own mother included, how do you do it and still get up in the morning? I have tried staying up after the kids to get stuff done but I am just too spent be productive. It also puts me in need of multiple cups of coffee the next day to feel alert.
My question for the masses is:
What type of person are you and how do you use your type to get the most done in one day?
I would love to hear of any tips/tricks people use to balance life along with getting enough sleep!
