Motivate

Hi There,
Today I have added a Poll on the right side bar of my blog. Please view the question and click your interest's. Now, the topics I have included in the options are not there because I am an expert on them in fact the opposite. These are areas in my life that I would like to learn more about and improve so by you clicking and me researching and talking about them and sharing my experiences I know will be motivation for me. I hope that it turns into motivation for you as well. These post's will come sprinkled in between my daily post's as I learn more about them. I like to think of myself as a self starter but I have an overload of ideas and projects I want to do that I cannot narrow it down and thus I end up doing none of them. Keep checking back because those options will change often as I discover new and exciting passions in my life. Feel free to join me and do your own research and share your experiences, I would love to hear what you think. 

So True....Made me Laugh

Enjoy your day!

My Post Baby Mission Struggle
So, many of you know that I have two beautiful boys, my oldest Andrew is 3 (who has been dealing with croup for the past 2 days, boo to croup! Mommy needs a nap)  and our youngest is 2 months.
I now have a closet full of clothes that don't fit (no surprise there) and I don't have the money to go buy a new wardrobe at this moment. We are in the process of buying a home so money is real tight (more to come on that later) I am so close to fitting in my jeans again and by close I mean about 2 inches unbuttoned and a MASSIVE overflow of muffin top when buttoned without being able to sit or really even walk. IF only my muffin looked this yummy.....
I have decided it would be a whole lot cheaper to just work off those last couple of inches since I am tired of wearing stretchy waste pants, but I don't really like working out and I do love my muffins, pun intended.  Dilemma, What am I going to do? I will tell you!
I am creating my own exercise routines since I don't like anyone telling me what to do. Here is today's work out, very short + high energy = energy boost! Now I will warn you that if you read further you will then be obligated to stand up and do this short work out before continuing onto FB or pinterest.  (I am no professional so we will see if this works) READY SET GO!

-20 jumping jacks
-10 burpees
-15 lunges
-15 jumping jacks

Now go grab a glass of water and continue on. Keep it honest people! Lets get those blue jeans back on, its small but its a start!

Here We Go

Hello blogging world! I have to be honest from the start, if you choose to read and follow my blog than you will be in the front row seat viewing my daily thoughts, struggles, projects and journey. You see, I read and research from time to time and have come to the conclusion that there are way to many blogs out there that portray a very perfect, simple life as a Mom. I find myself comparing what they do and what I don't do and end up feeling less than. Who else has felt this way? Not just through blogging but through other social media. We all know that Mom down the street that seems to always have time to throw on a cute (and stylish) outfit with full make up and hair while carting her children around town with various activities and shopping, house is spotless and meals are healthy and beautiful. That is all fine and dandy but is it reality? Take it from me, I have tried this and yes, i was successful in about 80% of it (Don't own any really stylish clothes) but at the end of the day I found myself exhausted and not fulfilled as I had expected. Is that how joy and happiness looks like in their life? (which is great if it is) Maybe so but not mine, spending time with my boys in yoga pants and a T-shirt, park outings, letting the house get messy from play, cooking grilled cheese sandwiches and dinosaur chicken nuggets with love (of course). This is just the tip of the iceberg of what joy and happiness looks like in my life. I have come to realize and acknowledge the blessings and things I have instead of wishing for things I think I need or want. This brings me to the reason I am starting this blog. I plan to share my raw, real thoughts and emotion, encouragement as well as some fun projects (successes and fails). My hope is to offer you with someone to relate with, laughter, tears and support as we take this journey together as Mothers in this glamorized, fast paced world.  We tend to loose sight of who we really are as we try and keep up but remember ladies you have a divine calling and are a daughter of God. Anyway, Don't miss understand me, I am not saying let yourself go. I am just saying don't do it for anyone else's standard but take care of yourself the way that makes you empowered as a woman. This is me.

Thank's for your support in advance, I promise not all posts will be so serious so keep checking back. You might be surprised on what you find.
