Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
I'm happy today is hump day, because I'm really hoping to get over it and never look back. Monday was a really hard day in our house, and well...in our country. The day just wasn't going as planned, the boys were all out of sorts, no one was napping, I don't think we got out of our PJs let alone the house. And then I saw the news of what happened in Boston... in real time, via friends who ... [ Read More ]
It's Monday and we are off to an early start today with 6:00am wake up times from both boys, but I guess they are just ready to get this week going. We had a pretty laid back weekend, which we definitely welcomed with open arms. I think our weekend calendar is booked straight through to July from here on out. We have birthday parties, I'm hosting a party, both sets of grandparents coming in, ... [ Read More ]
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU ARE MIMA OR NANA STOP READING NOW :) Yesterday the boys and I worked on part of the gifts we are going to send out for Mother's Day in a few weeks. My mom and Greg's mom live across the country from us so we know they love anything tangible that is a reminder of the boys. What's better than seeing their little hand prints on something they made and knowing they can carry ... [ Read More ]
Meet Anne...isn't she the prettiest Bachelorette that you ever did see? We took off from LAX this past Friday and headed south to Austin, TX to celebrate this special lady. I could literally go on and on about all the fun we had over the weekend, but instead I will just do a photo dump and let them speak for themselves! Ladies, it was a blast!! Austin, I miss you!! And Anne, may all your ... [ Read More ]
Ok so I don't ever use the word "ya'll" but I just had to throw it in there after returning from my amazing two nights away in Austin, TX for a bachelorette party. I haven't had a chance to write about my trip since I just got back yesterday afternoon (and was in bed by 7:00pm ha ha), but I wanted to do a quick Monday Meal Plan post. I will also quickly say that Austin was AWESOME, and since I'm ... [ Read More ]
On Monday I stumbled across a Facebook friend's fitness blog. 1- she looks INCREDIBLE (and recently had a baby) and 2-she is a fitness instructor and challenged her readers/clients to set a goal for themselves...a huge goal, something out of their comfort zone, and make it happen! It made me think for a second, and then I let it sit in the back of my head for the rest of the day since I wasn't ... [ Read More ]
Although this is posting on a Tuesday I wrote it on a Monday night, so technically I can still call it a "Meal Plan Monday" right? We got in a lot of exercise this weekend, but we also caved to some bad eating. Between a date night on Friday and all the Easter food and candy I'd give us about a 6 out of 10 on the clean eating scale. Our meals themselves were actually very healthy, it was what ...

It's been awhile since my last post...I've been up to my neck in plastic Easter Eggs! Two years ago I took Nathan to his first huge egg hunt that one of the local churches held. There were hundreds of kids there, baskets in hands, being held back by the neck of their shirts, ready to pounce as soon as the horn sounded to start collecting. Nathan literally got trampled, and when I finally ... [ Read More ]
This week is looking a little different when it comes to my workout schedule. Typically Shane goes down for a nap at 9:00am and I will do the elliptical in the garage while Nathan plays outside with me. This has worked out so great! I can workout for 45 minutes, Nathan gets to play in the yard, and I still get time to shower after and then we head out for the day. Just when I was really ... [ Read More ]
I'm pretty sure most people recap their weekends right after the weekend happens, but we do things late around here. I think Sunday nights would probably be a good time to catch up on what we did over the weekend, upload some photos and write a new post...however, I was in bed asleep by 9:30 Sunday night from a full day of fun (and too many mojitos!). At least that is evidence of a good weekend ... [ Read More ]
