I'm Not Sure There's A Title For This One

Vacation is over which means there is a ton of catching up to do. Of course, it seems like there's always catching up to do when you run your own business. There are never enough hours in the day to accomplish what I want. Plus I tend to bring a whole lot on myself. I could say no and do what I want when I want. Isn't that the whole point of having your own business? However, I don't. It certainly isn't about the money - as much as I wish it was. It's more about surviving in a super competitive online world.

In addition to my already busy schedule of homeschooling + business, I've decided to start a daily workout with my husband called P90x. I originally decided to do the workout (not the diet -I'm underweight) to be a motivator for my husband. However, after attempting and failing one push-up and 2 minutes of jumping jacks I've decided that it's time I go myself back into shape. I've pretty much convinced myself that I'm healthy because I'm skinny but I'll finally admit I'm wrong. Very wrong.

So, we are on Day 3 of this workout. I'll admit it is hard and we are just in the beginning. I'm sore. It hurts. But I have to do it. I think I'm exercise-challenged. ;)

Hurry Up And Get Here

We're busy packing. Actually we are almost packed and we aren't leaving until Friday afternoon. Yes, we are that excited! We get to spend nearly a month at the beach (well about 3 weeks really) but, hey, wouldn't you be excited too? I still have to work which will be strictly limited to early mornings and late nights on the laptop. The boy still has to have school but we are going to have F-U-N! Lots of fun and relaxation. Friday can't get here fast enough.

As I was looking through some photos from last year's October beach trip I came across a super short video. Seriously, it's less than 3 seconds long. Here, have a look. It's my oldest feeding the seagulls early in the morning. You can hear the younger one and maybe see an arm briefly. Isn't it beautiful? Ah, the sound of the ocean!



We also kicked off our month-long Hallow-Reviews over at A Mom's Review. Stop by to see what we recommend for moms & their families this spooktacular holiday season!

And, don't forget to enter to win the Scent-Sational Mo's Nose kids book & activity set!

P.S. Speaking of family get-togethers and vacations, check out the Land's End Family Holiday Get-Together contest for a chance to win a 7 night getaway for up to 12 people to The Resort at PawsUp in Montana. It looks dreamy! :)

See what we are up to at the beach via Twitter, Flickr, and right here.

Signing off for a few days... :)
