Spring is coming? Summer? Swimsuit - WHAT??!!

All winter long we bundle up in our nice warm sweaters and comfy blue jeans.  This year we've been lucky enough to be very bundled up after the "snowpacolypse of 2011"!  STUCK in the house for 11 days straight with 4 kids and a husband.  WOW!  Now don't get me wrong I love both my husband and my children, but being confined to the 4 walls of our home without preparation or supplies to keep them occupied, it was a REALLY long week.  Anyway, here in the South, our seasons kinda all mush together and sometimes don't even happen at the right time. 
The past few weeks, our temperatures have been unseasonably warm.  Needless to say - we are LOVING it!  Last weekend, my husband practically clear-cut our backyard.  I can see out of the windows and watch the kids play in the backyard  while I do my crafty thing.  An added bonus:  the cut branches are calling out for my all-time favorite snack - S'MORES! 

Though I've neglected my blog, I'm still trying to lose 50 lbs in 50 weeks.  I'm quite a few weeks behind and really only lost a few pounds.  I've come to the conclusion that it really takes a hint of Summer to really get me motivated. 

I can picture myself there basking in the warm sunshine, glistening with coconut oil and sipping a delicious fruity beverage - of course with a tiny umbrella.  However when I picture myself..... it's more like this:

Apparently, Spring is coming early this year - and that means Summer is right around the corner.  And I have a LOT of work to do!
