Staying Healthy with Sick Kids



My poor boys have been sick for close to a week now and of course it's in the beginning of my Bikini Body Mommy Challenge and I've actually been doing really well with staying healthy. This is exactly what has thrown me off in the past and then I seem to never start again. This time I'm going to stay healthy through sickness! This is how...

  • I'm still going to the gym in the early morning. Even though I'm up half the night with the boys and sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress in the boys room I'm making it a priority to still hit the gym. When I get back I go back to sleep in  mom sleep mode where I'm half awake so I can keep track of the boys once their awake but still get a little more rest. Since they are sick they are watching movies anyway.
  • Still trying to eat healthy. Since I'm not taking my boys to the store when they are coughing so much. I'm stuck eating what's in the house. We don't have much that sounds good which means I'm  not eating a lot. I have been to the store to get some fresh fruits and veggies but it's just a quick trip in the short time my hubby is home and awake. He's working loooooong hours. 
  • Getting plenty of fluids and On Guard. I'm trying to avoid getting sick myself which is probably a slim chance but with exercise, fluids, and On Guard I'm hoping that it stays away.
  • Last I'm getting plenty of cuddles with my boys. I know that soon they will be big and even though they will still want me to care for them when they are older they will not want to sit and cuddle with mommy so I'm enjoying this sickness coming through my house and letting my boys snuggle up and watch movies and listen to stories!

Any tips for how you stay healthy when your family is sick?
How you don't get off track with your workout routine during a family sickness?

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
