A Red, White and Blue Week {WIW}

This has definitely been a week out of the norm for us.  My 14 year old niece has been visiting us for nearly two weeks.  Do you know how long it has been since I've had a 14 year old in my house for any length of time?  Let's just say it's been more than a few years. 

Tomorrow  I'm headed to Nebraska to take my sweet niece home.  Beyond that quick trip, I'm looking forward to getting back to normal.  It's been two weeks full of s'mores, hot dogs, and home made ice cream topped off with boating and swimming.  Who knew a tiny 14 year old girl could eat so much!  It's been a blast having her here but constant entertaining has led to some unhealthy eating, and I certainly haven't been exercising like I should be.


All that being said, I did weigh this morning.  I didn't lose even an ounce, but I didn't gain either.  With the holiday behind us, I'm hopeful things will calm down just a bit.  Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't trade this time for the world! Cherished moments for sure! Love this girl to death and what a blast for us to have her here!

How was your 4th of July?
