Joining in the fun with Katie at Sluiter Nation again today.

1. Blackberry Torch.

2. Keys

3. Wallet

4. Water bottle

5. Notebook and crayons or book

6. Sippy cup

7. Either my Tignanello purse or my daughter’s toddler backpack, depending on where we’re going

Those 7 items are all I NEED, but you can also find lip gloss, ibuprofen, wet wipes, tissues, a brush and mirror deep in the depths of my purse. You might also find a dozen receipts or a snack. I’ve learned to keep what I carry to a minimum to save my back as my daughter gets heavier, and leave tons of things in the car, which include diapers, wipes, other toys, snacks, and the stroller. But those 7 things I listed? Are always within reach.

Brought to you by Katie at Sluiter Nation!

As a SAHM, I have a really boring wardrobe. This is mostly by choice, because I never want to feel guilty about rolling around on the floor or climbing around the playground with my daughter in whatever clothes I’m wearing. Despite the lack of fashion awards, these clothes are comfy, and can be dressed up with just a good jacket, pair of shoes, or jewelry, for those who are inclined to do so.

My #1 favorite thing right now is Levi’s 529 Women’s Misses Curvy Mid Rise Bootcut Jeans. I wear jeans or yoga pants 95% of the time, and it has been difficult to find jeans that fit without creating a muffin top or showing far too much crack. Now that I’ve found these, I’m obsessed. They’re made for women who don’t have perfectly proportioned waists, hips, and thighs. Love.

In case you didn’t catch it, my #2 fave thing is yoga pants. 😉

My #3 fave thing to wear are Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Pocket Teefound at Target. Or Kohl’s if they happen to have them.

#4 is Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Long and Lean Tank from Target. These are not flattering to the figure, but they are comfy and great for lounging, sleeping, or working out.

My favorite thing about winter is my #5, cute pajamas. Especially cute pajamas in wonderfully fuzzy flannel.

I love Florida for many reasons, one of which is that I can wear flip flops almost year round. Reef makes my fave, they last forever, and I’ve never found a more comfortable pair!

Another reason I <3 Florida is for bathing suits. Not because I look great in them (I swear I will again one day!), but because wearing one means I'm headed to the beach or the pool with the babe! I'm hoping to add another to my collection this year. 😉

When I can't wear flip flops, Skechers are my fave sneakers. I was also excited when my daughter’s feet got big enough that they made cute Skechers for her. Now I’m constantly on the lookout for clearance deals so she can have super cute shoes too!

Let’s see… I’m up to 8, is there anything else I wear a lot of? Oh! Hoodies! Between warm temps and me always being hot, I wear a lot of shirt and hoodie combos. It’s real easy to adjust the layers to mother nature’s whims.

I think that’s everything I wear. It’s only 9 things, but like I said, my wardrobe is pretty boring as a SAHM. 😉

It’s time to stop ignoring the scale and post the current number for the world to see.

This week’s weight: 156.8

Yep. A gain. Again. I love food. I hate exercise. The combination was bound to get the best of me at some point in my life.

The husband was looking up new fitness plans to inspire him to get moving again and found Fit Yummy Mummy and showed it to me. Despite some skepticism, I’m going to give it a go. Anything to inspire me to move more is a positive. I’ll use the McFatty Monday updates to let the blog world know what has worked and what hasn’t. Even if my weight doesn’t go down, I’m hoping it will have an effect on how my body looks. Time will tell.

For now, I’m off to start Phase 1 and then run some errands while the babe is in school. Wish me luck! I need all the encouragement and support I can get! 🙂
