Mommy Friends

I have to say that one of the most important things I ever did was start a mom's group that would work for me. I tried for over a year to find a group and connect with women that had kids in my area but for some reason I just couldn't. Every time I got together with different groups I always left feeling like I didn't fit in. I love being at home and enjoyed playing with Rex and all the time we had together, I love my husband and try my hardest not to complain about him because he is great and works hard to provide for us and we actually agree on most of our parenting so it makes that easy, and I plan homeschooling Rex because our school system is not the best and I am willing to take on the extra work that it will take for him to have a great education. So when I thought about it and prayed about it God told me that I needed to surround myself with like minded, God loving women. So I started a Faith centered mom's group that can share their struggles, hopes, happiness, and every other thing that us mom's go though.
It was the best thing that I could have ever done (thanks God for the push to do it)! I love getting together with this group of ladies at least once a week sometimes as many as four and sharing our lives together. We are all at different points in our lives and that makes it even better because we can learn from one another too. I love having a Bible study with them as well. I feel like I can really share what is on my heart and ask for prayer when needed. I'm learning so many things through this group that God is leading. I have to say if there is one thing that I could suggest to every mommy out there it would be to find like minded mommy's in your area that you can get together with regularly. It has been life changing to have a support system around me and people that I can call friends. To all of you ladies I have a special place in my heart for all of you because you make my life better just being able to know each of you!

  1. It's so wonderful that you have such a great group of Mommy friends. I am eager to find one, myself, when we move in the Fall.

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
