Shower Time

I know some mommies that shower with their kiddos and others who almost always shower with their spouses. For me I prefer neither. Shower time for me is a scared time. Not in the prayer way but in the I need a break from everything and recharge kind of way. 

I love taking a really hot shower and just relaxing and renewing my energy. I love taking a break from my kids (well at least one, can't really take a break from growing Pilot although he does settle down when I shower) and just enjoying the peace and quiet the bathroom shower brings. 

There are many times where my shower and get ready time only lasts as long as a movie can hold Rex's attention and then there are other times like this evening that I jump in the shower after everyone else has gone to bed and I can just enjoy the quiet for as long as the hot water lasts. 

I really don't know mommies that enjoy shower time the way that I do and I often wonder if I'm the only one. I know that M would love more shower time with me and Rex loves taking showers with one of us but I just don't enjoy it. Whenever I have to share shower time I feel like my space is being invaded and I avoid it unless time or space requires that I share. I have often wondered how it would feel to enjoy sharing a shower since it is so peaceful to me and maybe that's how all these other mommies feel. I guess for me it will always be my place to escape, even if it is only for a few minutes. To recharge from a long day or to gain energy and peace before a crazy one. All I know is that I enjoy my shower time alone!

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 ...
