Well, I have a funny little story to share with you guys! It might not be funny to all y’all and it might be one of those “you had to be there” stories, but I’ve been chuckling about it all day! My 5 year old was playing with a small piece of Minky-type fabric today. He put it on the baby’s head and the baby seemed to like it! He kept it on his head for a while and if it happened to fall off, then big brother made sure to put it back on. Anyway, what made me laugh Continue Reading…
Great Workouts, Healthy Food + Trying to Stay Away from Sugar
Well, this little cutie started KINDERGARTEN yesterday! Auuughh! I really can’t believe he is so big. He is such a sweetie pie! This little child of mine is so kind, sweet, soft-spoken and extremely innocent. Oh, he is just adorable. I really am not a fan of sending my kindergartners off. It breaks my heart in two every time. Here’s a Throw Back Thursday to when this sweet little boy was born….seems like last year… Look how TINY all of my kids were!?!???!?! What the…? #wishtheycouldjuststaylittle ************** Well, I’ve really been enjoying my workouts lately! Here’s a breakdown of what Continue Reading…
Back to School, The Color Run and some Progress Pics!
Hey everyone! My kids all started school yesterday and it feels so weird! I miss having them around, but it’s been so nice to have a quiet house. Even though my kids would never admit it, I KNOW they were ready for school to start too. It’s interesting how the kids all get along really well the first couple months of summer, BUT THEN the last few weeks before school starts, they all get on each others nerves, get bored and just go stir crazy. I really believe humans thrive so much more when there is structure, productivity and purpose. Continue Reading…
Staying Strong Even When it’s Hard + Some Fun Pics
Yes, I AM ALIVE! Holy moly. We’ve had so much going on, oh my word! My family was in town for two weeks and we played pretty much non-stop, then we were out of town for a family reunion with Kev’s family, which also included a side trip to Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s been nuts, but we’ve had SO MUCH FUN! I’ll do a separate post all about our fun trip. I LOVED Bryce Canyon! I’m happy and sad to say that life should be calming down a bit because summer is almost over! My kiddos start school two Continue Reading…
The Negative Effects of Sugar + a Little Bit of Progress
Well guys, I’ve been killin’ it in the “exercise department” lately, but I’ve been struggling in the “eating department!” Gah! As far as overall health, wellness and weight loss goes, diet is KEY. It’s at least 80% of the equation. I’ve learned this time and time and time again. Interesting tidbit….I ran my Half Marathon two weeks ago. I actually felt quite chubby and bloated that weekend. I cleaned up the diet the next week and by the next weekend I felt lean-ish and my weight was at it’s lowest since I had the baby (7-8 pounds left to lose!) Continue Reading…
A Cute Baby, Mini Babybel Cheese, Great Workouts and Frustrations with Weight Loss
Good morning and Happy Monday! I have wanted to eat this little baby up all morning long! It’s tough to take a picture of a baby while you’re holding him, BTW! Oh, and that little tuft of hair poking out on the right side of his head??? Well, I think it’s just the cutest thing! Yes, I’m weird. He is so much fun right now. He’s been a BIG fan of food lately. It cracks me up. Whenever I eat anything, he gets so excited! His eyes follow my food or drink from the plate/cup to my mouth and he Continue Reading…
