About Me

My photo
I'm Coralyn, a Californian native. I am mother to a crazy 4 year old girl named Madison, a baby on the way, and a wrinkly Shar-pei. My husband is in the Army and we have moved from California to Hawaii and from Hawaii to beautiful Colorado. I'm a stay at home mom and student/art major. I love painting and drawing and hope to share some of these things with you throughout my blog along with other random moments in my life.

I paid 5 bucks to be a loser



So, yesterday I joined this Schofield Barracks Fitness Challenge. Basically it's like The Biggest Loser, where everyone pitches in 5 bucks, and spends 6 (I think) weeks trying to get in shape and the person who loses the highest percentage of body fat wins the pot. Basically there's only one rule, NO DIET PILLS. So since I've been working out and eating so well and what not (4 pounds to go, yay!!) I decided that this challenge would be the perfect motivation as well as a great way to meet other ladies out here. I'm still continuing my coach to 5k which I am currently on week 4, but I'll also be joining this group when they work out on a weekly basis (fun!).



While I've been trying to lose weight, Madison has been packin' on the pounds and growing soooo fast! I've been throwing on outfits on her left and right, just so she's able to wear each outfit at least once before she out grows it. She's already on size 3 diapers, her teeth are starting to come in, and I recently started her on solid foods because she's been sitting up so well on her own. Soon she'll be graduating to the big tub because she's starting to outgrow the infant one. I'm so happy watching her grow, nothing could be more fulfilling right now.


Between working out, family, and harvesting my crops in farmville (shhh...) I've recently have dug up old photos. I absolutely hate clutter so basically I'm going through the process of organizing and scrapbooking all these photographs. Anything that is not being scrapbooked is going to be put into a regular photo album. This is going to be A LOT of work, seeing how I have 43924392420 photos. We have a giant walk in closet that you can't even see the floor of at the moment because as I am "organizing" these photos. I can't help it! Flashbacks and memories come flooding in of childhood, high school, and even my wedding. Not to mention, I've been finding photos of my mom that I haven't seen in such a long time, I can bear to put them away again just yet.

Hard to believe I hate clutter, huh?


(this is my desk, under all this mess somewhere)


So far I finished 1 page of scrapbooking before I realized I need a new glue stick, some scissors and a lot of random items (such as the blade to my paper cutter) have disappeared in the move from California to Hawaii. Thus I need to find a craft store out here sometime soon.

  1. There's that craft store by where I used to live! Benjamin Franklin I think. Pretty sure we went there together at least once. I don't remember if they had much, but you could always check there again.

    ps: I miss you.
