Pumpkin Carving I tried

I bought three small pumpkins this year for each of my kids to carve their own. They are to young to actually carve their own, but I was hoping they would at least help me get the pumpkin seeds out.

Our pumpkin carver broke , so we went out and got another one with 3 knives. All of those broke, so I was stuck using a knife to carve.

This is how they turned out. I tried, my kids still love them

They look like my kids !!!! Haha

Trying to Lose Weight

losing weight after having kids has not been easy for me at all. I have had 3 kids in less than 3 years and it  has taken it’s toll on my body.   Before my first child I was around 120 which is perfect for my height. 

Now…..  I know a lot of women don’t reveal their weight, but I could care less if you know I am over weight. I am 5’2″ and weigh 155, so my goal is 30 pounds. 

It will not be an easy journey as I get stressed out a lot with taking care of 3 kids under the age of 6, and financial stuff too.  

I have cut out almost all sugars, no soda, I cut down red meat to 1 or 2 a week, exercise for 20 minutes a day.

What I am hoping for is support in the Blogosphere to help. so check in to see how my weight loss journey is going.

A Little More about Me

I don’t write to much about myself, I am not really sure why but today I will

My name is Brandy Walleshauser

Favorite color is Purple and Black, even though i consider black a shade.

Favorite Movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas is My favorite, but I love anything by Tim Burton.

Favorite Holiday: Holloween

What were you like as a teen: I was a loaner in high school, and was bullied because I wore black all the time (kind of gothic) and was low income.

What are you like now: I am still kind of a loaner I don’t have to many friends, but have faded away from the whole black everything phase. Now that I am a mom my life is revolved around my kids.

What did you want to be: I wanted to be a mortician, but my feelings on that changed after I started having a family.

did you attend college: No I attended Beauty school for a year, but did not get to finish. I had my first child and my husband was deployed, so i thought it was best to drop out.

 Thats all i can think of right now, as you can tell i don’t get out much.  If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Movin On Up With a Great News

Okay I don’t know if that’s the best title.

So my hubby graduates in May, with a BS in Chemistry and a BS in Biology, double major. So this past year he has been applying and attending grad school interviews. He was accepted everywhere he applied, with the acception of two schools we have yet to hear from.

Our number one choice accepted him! Cold Spring Harbor(Watson School of Biological Sciences). We are super excited and will be moving to Cold Spring Harbor, New York in late summer.Cold Spring Harbor is on Long Island and about 30 minutes from Manhattan.

I’ve never been to New York City so I’m excited and it’s a great opportunity as a lot of blogging stuff happens in New York. I still will not be attending Blogher, I’ve just never been into spending more than my rent to go to a conference.

So those of you that have been to New York City or Long Island tell me what i have to look forward too good and bad?

Fustrated with the school system

My daughter may only be in preschool, but they follow the same guidelines at the Guilford County schools. Which is  expected since it is a Head Start program.

My daughter has had 3 1/2 total hours of school this week, and it’s making me crazy.

It snowed on Friday and Saturday, so there was no school on Monday. Then Monday night it rained, meaning no school on Tuesday because of ice. Wednesday almost everything melted but there were still ice concerns. So no school Wednesday.

Thursday she finally had school, but with a 2 hr delay. instead of 8-2, she went from 10-2. Thursday night we had sleet so now school is canceled today.

This is crazy. I can  understand safety concerns, but if I can drive an hour away with no problems, people can drive there kids to school.

Committing to a Company

As a blogger there are lots of company reaching out for partnerships. They want reviews/giveaways etc. I have seen a lot of bloggers commit to a company. for ex.  Laundry detergent, some bloggers chose only to write about Tide others are a Purex insider and only write about Purex.

I have only commited to one company and that is Purex, I am a purex insider. Even though they hardly ever give me anything to write about.

I love writing about a variety of things, even if that means I write about 2 pizza companys, or competitive stores. If a company wants me to only write about their company, then they need to make a relationship with me, and have me participate in all campaigns.

I’m just blabbing sorry
