Bonus to going back to work...weight loss!

So I am slowly coming to the end of my 4th week, of being back to work full time.  And not only am I still getting more things done, than I had back when I was a stay at home mom, but now I have noticed something else.....I'm loosing weight!!  Yeow!!  I'm not sure how, but it is disappearing, the scale is only down just a little; but my "size" is down, so I guess technically I am loosing "inches."  The cool thing is that I have not started a diet, and I have not been exercising.  Well, I do go for a walk here & there with my daughter, but nothing drastic, she is only 3 so we can't go too far.  Granted, I think it may have something to do with the fact that I am up and running from 7am till 10 pm, but I'm not hating it! 

And strangely enough, I am eating more.  I think I heard somewhere that you loose more weight when you eat than when you starve?  Or something like that, I guess they were right.  Anywho, I probably have just jinxed myself since I just wrote about this, so I am going to now go and knock on some wood for good luck! 

If anyone else has ever experienced this please fill me in!!  I would love to hear any and all weight loss stories!

Changing to a Working Mom Hasn't Apparently Slowed Me Down!

So as I mentioned before I have now gone from stay at home mom to working mom.  Yes, it has been a huge adjustment...but I am totally loving it!  For one thing I have noticed something very strange.  I have accomplished checking off more items on my to do list this week, with 40 hours work-plus 1 hr at least each day in travel time, then I have done my entire 1 1/2 years of being at home.  It may have something to do with not having access to facebook, which did suck alot of my time, but with the new changes on there I have been rarely keeping up with it anyways.  And don't get me wrong, alot of that time was running around after my now 3 year old, but I still have her with me when I am doing all of these projects, so who knows...but I am definitely liking it! 

Have any of my stay at home mommies turn working mommies have this same thing happen to them?  Let me know?  I'd LOVE to hear your theories!

But no worries I am still trucking along with my Indie Biz, BuggieSews!  I'll be adding some new goodies in the next couple of weeks just in time for the Holidays!  ...think red & green!

Back In The Saddle Again!

Ever since I lost my 9 to 5 job, I’ve wondered where am I going, what do I do next? But I think I have found it. I have gone back to my roots and returned to the world of crafting with the help of blogging!
I use to make some sort of handmade creation for my family members every Christmas. It begun with cross stitch then lead to other handmade creations, I really wish that I took pictures of them all. I was so creative back then, back when I did not have a ton of responsibilities. But now i.am.back! The creative juices are flowing once more. I have alot to learn in both worlds: blogging & selling handmade. I am sure I will have alot of bumps in the road as I go. And I can not wait to share them with you all & hopefully you’ll have alot to share with me too.
