Moving!

So the packing has began and it's time to get through all our stuff and pack it up and get it into our new place. We are moving just to another townhouse in our area and I gotta say that I'm not enjoying this packing stuff. 


I'm so tired from not sleeping. I go to bed right after I put Rex to bed around 8pm and then I'm up at 3am no matter what. I stay in bed most days and think and drift in and out of sleep until about 6am and then I'm just up. Well that makes the days very long and it doesn't help that I crash around 11am when nap time is at 1pm. I can't sleep at nap time. It's really frustrating. 


Then after all this lack of sleep I have to pack. Lift things. Move things. Go through things. UGH! I am able to pack one or two boxes at a time and then take about a 30 minute break. Then I do it again or cook lunch or whatever I need to do for my family and then another break. This pregnancy is taking everything out of me. 


Yep! Moving is going to be difficult but I'm excited to get into our new place and get everything set up. I'm excited for the things this new house has to offer that our current place doesn't (like a special built in desk for homeschooling which has been lacking in our house for a few months). 


So if you have a minute maybe send up a little prayer asking God to give my His strength to get through these next few weeks so I can get us all settled in and back to life again (probably just in time to start planning for the new baby to disrupt everything again).

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
