A differrent kind of journey with Road trip

So here is a rare peek at little ol me, this layout is all about the battle of the bulge, and is probably one of my more personal layouts. After my boys were born, I kinda gave up who I was and devoted my heart, soul and body to these little wee ones, not that I regret that, but there came a time that I really got tired of what I looked like and I had to do something about it. It was not a fast or magical transformation, it took me months of 1-2 pounds a week to get to where I am now. but I am proud of it and I thought that I should take the time to document it. Perhaps this will help if I decide to have another baby, something to show " I did it once and I can do it again". My Heart and soul still belong to my boys, but I took my body back and it feels great.
Products used are Core-dinations Cardstock, Pattern Paper and Embellishments by October Afternoon, buttons by the button box and foof fa la. TFL:)
