Welcome to our at-home gym… currently residing in our garage. The walls are scuffed and it can be a little humid at times, but I love being able to work out at home.
I don’t have to pay for a gym membership. I don’t to spend time driving to a gym and back. I don’t have to figure out childcare. I don’t have to worry about looking somewhat presentable. 
I can just walk out to the garage, hop on some equipment, and get in a quick workout. At this season of my life, it’s the perfect solution.
And it’s a way that I save money and time every single day.

The winner of the $50 Starbucks gift card from Saturday’s post was Becky {t_3_st@}
I was having some trouble getting the SwagbucksTV and EntertainNow apps to work today, but we still found some other ways to earn some Swagbucks today without spending much time. Here’s what we earned today:
In addition to the usual little Swagbucks earnings we’ve been picking up throughout the day, we also earned 24 Swagbucks for downloading Unsubscriber (it took maybe a minute to download), the HGTV YouTube subscription request got credited today (it maybe took a minute of time to earn 50 Swagbucks for that, too!), and I earned 5 Swagbucks for liking Swagbucks on Facebook.
We already ordered our first $5 Amazon gift card and should have enough to order another $5 Amazon gift card tomorrow — yay!
How many Swagbucks did YOU earn today?

Last week's goals:
Marriage/Mothering/Homemaking Goals
1. Finish reading Teddy's Button aloud to the kids at lunch time. {I’m determined to actually accomplish this goal this week! We’ve struggled through this book & it’s not been my kids’ favorite, so that’s contributing to how slowly we’re getting through it… and also we’re changing our read aloud time to breakfast because we recently added in extra swimming and ice skating lessons/practices for the girls that were cutting into our previous read aloud time.}
2. Have a movie night with Jesse.
3. Write a love note to Jesse.
4. Start a new sewing or handwork project.
Personal Goals

Bulletproof Coffee
So, I'm working on cutting back on caffeine this month, as part of the 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge. And while last week was harder, I was excited that this week wasn’t as hard. Yay!
This week, I cut back from 1 and 3/4 cups per day to 1 and 1/2 cups per day. And I didn’t really even notice that I’d cut back a little. I am drinking a few cups of herbal tea, too, and I think that helps.
I've already decided this may not be a habit I decide to stick with, but I’m committed to following through with cutting back for this month.
How are YOU doing on cutting back on caffeine?
