It's DIY time! Hoodie Towels ROCK!!

I found this cute idea after being annoyed with my daughters baby towels. Very poorly made and don't absorb much either. If you have ever gone shopping for a hoodie towel, you will find they a quite expensive too! So I decided to do a little research and came to find out I could save some money and make them myself. The towels I purchased from Target, Walmart and Sam's Club. I paid more at Sam's and didn't find the towels to be any better quality. So lesson learned. For info on how to make these towels check out my DIY page.

Wind vs Life

I had an epiphany about life while running yesterday. It was a nicer day, the sun was out but the wind was blowing. I was jogging with my daughter in her stroller, which is usually pretty light when its just Kloe and the stroller. But today with the wind blowing I had Kloe strapped into her carrier, bundled up and snapped into the stroller this way we had use of the double canopy for a wind break. As I ran up a hill I got a strong blast of a head wind. The head wind used my daughters stroller as a wind sock, which made the stroller even heavier to push. This happened a bunch of times on my run. And with each hill I was getting more and more tired. I was starting to think about giving up and I just couldn't wait to turn the corner just to have the wind blowing at a different angle. After laboring pretty hard up one particular hill while with the wind at my face I had this wonderful epiphany about life! Life tends to be hard sometimes. We have our big hills and small hills. We st...

Sleeping Trouble?

I really enjoyed reading this blog! If you have a little one who just doesn't sleep much or sleep well, take a look. My daughter has not been the best sleeper either. I call her queen of cat nappers! She is almost 11 months old and has never needed more then 4-5 hours sleep at a time. If I am lucky. Although I really love snuggle time, I was starting to really struggle with not having enough sleep to function. I am typically a happy person, and was becoming a real Oscar the Grouch. Yikes! After reading this blog, I relaxed a bit and stopped worrying about her cat napping so much. We weren't doing anything wrong, she just needed to be close to us and for that time period and didn't seem to need to sleep for really long periods of time like other babies. Recently we started setting in place a bit more structure, because her internal clock was about 12 hours out as well. All that wonderful cat napping will do that to a tiny human. :) We started with a bed time routine whic...

Got Shake?

My daughter is 3 1/2 months old has been very interested in my Shakeology! When she gets her bottle, I typically have my shake too. She was more interested in Mommy's bottle then her own! This is what happened when I handed her my cup. She definitely knows the good stuff when she sees it!

Combat Day 3

Day 3 was supposed to be yesterday, but I was totally exhausted! The baby was not sleeping well and so I was trying to catch zzzz's were I could. I decided not to stress my body anymore then it already was, so I traded my rest and day 3 workout day. Today was a good day. Longer program, but that meant it was easier for me to follow and get the moves down better. I am really enjoying the trainers! Loads of fun and love their accents too! Check out my quick video for more info.

Combat Day 1 &2

I know in my previous blog I was going to walk and do yoga. But I just have not been able to get out of the house, since it has been super HOT and HUMID here in Tennessee! The baby gets really hot and sweaty in her stroller, and if I go out at night we get eaten alive by mosquitoes. YIKES! I have been chomping at the bit to try Lem Mills Combat, so I decided to DO IT!! I figure I can modify as necessary and slow things down, so that I don't compromise my milk supply (still breastfeeding). It will be interesting to see what happens. Day 1... I put disk #1 in to find out it was unreadable!! Grrrr... I called Coach Relations and their service is always great!! Whenever you buy straight from Beachbody they back everything, so I am getting my disk replaced for FREE!! In the mean time I am using some other disks that came in the set. I went ahead and started with Combat Live 30. I enjoyed it, and it was easy to modify so that I didn't over due it. Can't get too crazy or I wil...

LOOK WHAT'S NEW!!

New Beginnings!!

I can’t believe that an entire year has passed by already! This time last year I had just returned from Beachbody’s Coach Summit in Vegas. I had a wonderful time, but was feeling really emotional during my whole trip. I chalked it up to all the excitement at Summit, and blew off the fact that I maybe pregnant again. Being pregnant again was too scary a thought at that moment in time, since I had just had a miscarriage a few short months earlier. That was one of the hardest things I have ever been through emotionally. There are just no words to describe it, unless you have gone through it. With all new beginnings it is nice to have a fresh start. So I started off with the doing Beachbody’s new cleanse, “The Ultimate Reset”. With the miscarriage behind me, I came to the conclusion that I really did want to have children again, even if the age spacing wasn’t going to be like we had anticipated. We never thought we would end up with a 10 year age gap!! YOWSA!!  I decided t...
