So, it’s been a while??? I had to take a small tour of my blog dashboard to update and see what all had changed while I was on hiatus! Blogging has been the furthest thing on my mind since little Madi joined our family back in July last year. It has been a whirlwind since then. I feel like everything is simultaneously flying by and moving like a sloth. Cliche, right? Nonetheless,…
I think every mom has been there. You know, wondering when the last time you showered was. Did you wash your hair? Pick up a shirt and sniff. Clean enough to get through the day. You think, “I really should paint my nails” or “I wish I could take a bath” or “I need to start working out”. But, by the end of the day, you are so wiped out from caring…
You guys. Alex is starting preschool THIS THURSDAY. How can this little peanut be starting preschool??? I just don’t know. I’m so excited for him, though! And more importantly, he is so pumped. Mostly that he gets to carry a “pack-pack”. But I think he will learn a thing or two, also. I keep seeing everybody’s “Back to School” posts on Instagram and I love it! It means fall is just…
Hello everyone! The three months since I wrote my last post in February certainly flew by! Here we are at the end of May and my journey to becoming an IRONMAN is complete! As many of you might have seen via Facebook, I completed Ironman Texas in 12:54:45, more than an hour below my goal time of 14 hours. I started to give a glimpse into training in my February update and…
So, my boys love each other. They are total best buds. Except for when one is sitting on the other’s head, but thats besides the point. John and I have been discussing putting them in the same room lately because they would probably have so much fun and never sleep again, but at least they’d have each other right?? Plus, it would be awesome to have our guest room back because we…
Hi there! We’ve been busy bees over here getting a few projects done (or almost done) around the house! There’s nothing like company coming to get your butt in gear! We’ve been working on the bathrooms slowly and had our friends coming last weekend, so it was time to finish painting and installing the bead board! I was still painting the day they were coming and we only had them help a…
I’ve had a few questions about how I get my kids to sleep at 7:00 (give or take) every night, so I’ll try my best to explain! This has really been a game-changer for us! For reference if you don’t know my kids, Alex is almost 3 (April 4) and Christian is almost 1 (March 13). I feel pretty hilarious as I write this because Christian is currently sleeping on my chest and…
Alright, it’s time for another post from a guest writer….John! When I wrote my first post about 2 years ago, I thought it would be fun to guest write once a week or at least every couple weeks, but, here I am two years later with my second post! I know, you’re pumped. I felt like today would be a great time to update everyone on my latest training endeavor, since today marks…
Do you set resolutions or goals each year? How do you make sure you stick to them? I find that every time I make resolutions for the new year, they tend to fizzle out shortly there after. I really need to have concrete ideas laid out, or I won’t get anything accomplished! I like to think of my New Year “resolutions” as more of a to-do list 🙂 It helps my mom…
Oh, hey there, 2015! I am out of blog hibernation here (finally) to bring you our 2014 highlights! In case you missed it, I posted our house tour so you can all snoop around my house like I know you want to 😉 I hope you all had a magical holiday season with your families and friends! Is it okay to say I’m glad to be back to a semi-normal schedule? As…
