It makes sense that my mom is a regular topic in my blog. We didn’t have a perfect relationship but, now that she’s gone (or anyone that’s no longer in your life) you tend to reflect back on only the good moments and feelings; forgetting or covering (with rosy glasses) that the bad ever happened…
Music makes me happy
I had a hard time getting motivated this weekend. I completely wasted my Saturday and I know that’s okay, but still. I’m not feeling the greatest my allergies are kicking my butt, and the baby has been miserable for days, poor thing. Pretty much the only way she isn’t upset is if I’m holding her….
Jump now, think later
I had the most fun evening tonight. I met a friend to get some cool pics for my blog and website. We wanted to capture my badass vibe, I am so excited. I can’t wait to see! I did some pics of just myself for fun one other time. There’s something to be said for…
Balance
Some days we can accomplish everything we set out to do…some days we snuggle our little loves until they fall asleep. The laundry and dishes can wait.
No (more) cake for you!
I eat when I’m hungry. I eat when I’m happy. I eat when I’m sad, depressed, or angry. Today all my siblings and their families assembled at my house to welcome the newest addition. My adorable new nephew Maxwell. I believe this is the first time since just after my mom passed away, that we…
Do it with passion or not at all
I think we’re all driven by passion, some of us more than others. I’m an exceptionally passionate person, I give all of myself into whatever I’m trying to accomplish. Talk about pouring your soul into it! I’m loving what I’m writing and sharing. I was getting nervous at first, every time someone would come up…
Create your vision
I’m the type of person that, in a conversation if I think of something that excites me, I just say it! It’s just how I’m programmed. I love jumping out of bed in the morning with an idea! So this morning, while getting the household ready for the day I was thinking about what…
Trail Run
I had the most inspirational run today. It was beautiful, the sun was shining and I felt completely at ease. I had the perfect playlist to keep me going, I definitely got my sweat on! Love my new shirt 🙂
Enchiladas
You have the capability to make anything “lighter”, just remember that. There is no reason you can’t enjoy what you love, all things in moderation. This is where I love experimenting. On Sunday, we marinated chicken in fresh lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper, and a TBSP of olive oil. We grilled enough chicken…
Balls to the walls
I signed myself up for a mud run in June. It has about 20 obstacles along the 5K course, and naturally all of them involve mud. While I have been running off and on and not getting to the gym as much as I would like…I’ve got six weeks. It’s go time. Hello push-ups…planks…wall holds…and…
