Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
Happy Monday!! To all my mama readers....I hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day and were spoiled rotten! Obviously, I think moms should be appreciated and loved 365 days a year, but hopefully yesterday was just a little extra special for you! We had an AWESOME weekend...gorgeous weather, and equal balance of fun and relaxation, got in some great exercise, and most importantly soaked in all ... [ Read More ]

Well it's the time of the week again, to hold myself accountable for my workouts, or my lack there of. Last week was good, I got in two Turbo kickboxing classes and a couple of long runs. Then this past weekend happened...Greg got super sick with some random flu-like stomach virus and it knocked him out cold. Friday and Saturday were a total wash with him being stuck in bed all day, so I wasn't ... [ Read More ]
So last weekend I mentioned that I hosted my first Stella & Dot party! It was such a fun way to have all my girlfriends over for some appetizers, cocktails and some bling! All of our orders started flooding in this past week, and if my friends weren't already huge fans of the company, they are now! I had a box delivered on Saturday and it totally made my day digging into all that beautiful ... [ Read More ]
It's been awhile since I have written about my progress using Advocare products. Since I first started the 24 Day Challenge back in January, I have had a lot of people give it a try along side me. It's been awesome seeing everyone's progress, sharing recipes and workouts, and just motivating each other along the way. I often get asked "so, what do you do after the 24 days is over?" and I ...

Every morning before Greg leaves to work he does his round of kisses and says his "I Love You"s. Since both our boys are early risers we are normally all awake to say bye to Daddy at his 7:00am departure. On the rare occasion Nathan sleeps in, or Greg needs to leave to work early, we always have a bit of an issue on our hands if Nathan doesn't get a kiss from his dad. Usually our mornings will ...

While looking through Pinterest last night I came across this behavior chart. It really stood out to me as something that I thought could work well with Nathan. Lately I have been trying to come up with a solution for his constant request for things....Mommy, after school can we go to the mall and get a Lego Police Station? Mommy, after we go to your store we can go to my store and I'll get ice ... [ Read More ]
Although I haven't been keeping up with my Monday Meal Plans via the blog, they are always ongoing in our home. I feel like our household has been upside down the last few weeks, but the one thing that remains constant and simple to maintain is what we are eating. I look forward to making dinner because there is some organization to it which seems to be lacking from the rest of my day. Here ... [ Read More ]
I don't know about you guys but I am totally dragging this Monday! We had such a fun weekend that I think I am just feeling bummed that's it over. Or maybe it's because we were on the constant go go go, and my exhaustion is finally catching up with me. Either way, my eyelids are feeling heavy while I type this. Friday was in the 80s and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. There was a nice ... [ Read More ]
You will probably never see a fashion post from me unless it revolves around gym clothes and sneakers. I'm here asking for fashion advice this Friday, because I am the last person who should be giving any. You know that Bachelorette party I went to a few weeks ago? Well that lovely lady is having her wedding in a month and this mama needs a dress! Have you guys ever used Rent The Runway ... [ Read More ]
