New Year Means Changes!

I don't really believe in making New Year's Resolutions because it seems more often than not they end up being lost shortly after making them. This year I am setting some goals and changing things up a bit. I feel this year is a little different because I have been slowly working on changing my daily habits for a few months now. I want to make some big changes in my life! I want to lose weight! I want to eat more healthy! And I want to keep my house clean and organized which I think will be my biggest struggle.

 I slowly started working out several months ago and just before Christmas I started eating more healthy and making sure I was getting enough fruits and veggies into my diet. Making these small changes has helped me gain energy and it going to help me lose weight now that all the holiday food is out of the house.

Now it's time to jump in with both feet!

So here's what is changing...

          ● I'm changing my workouts from late night to EARLY morning! Super early! 4am early!  Yuck! But a must in order to help my marriage (my hubby is missing having a wife around at night) and I'm hoping that getting my workout in early, showering and getting ready before the boys wake up will help me be ready to go instead of feeling blah all day waiting for my workout.

          ● I found a free schedule printable for the whole year that is completely customizable so this is added it to my new daily routine to help keep up with the household responsibilities. I have written post but never quite got them finished and posted about my lack scheduling abilities. I have yet to find on the truly works for me but this one is different and I'm hoping this is the one!

          ● This schedule will also help me to delegate some of the household responsibilities. I want to teach Monkey how to care for his things and for his area of the house. Doing this will also encourage Goose to help with clean up time and caring for his are of the house as he gets older. I will share what I'm going to do in a later post.

          ● And last but not least I'm adding more regular teaching to our week. Monkey wants to learn to read so it's time to teach several days a week to get him going. Every day is not a priority at the moment but at least 3 days a week we can spend time together doing out reading homework.

I can't wait to see how these changes impact my life. As I continue to lose weight, gain energy, and get organized I can only imagine what is in store for my life! Amazing things!

What are your new plans for this year?

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...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

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...
