Back in the groove.


Things are finally starting to settle down and our new home is finally actually starting to feel like “home.”  We still have a lot to do around the house, but we need a break.  The rest of our projects can be weekend only projects…there’s just not enough time at night during the week, we would rather focus our time and energy on watching our sweet little girl grow! 

Remember my weight loss plan? Well, just go ahead and chalk that one up…UGH!  I’ve probably worked out a total of FIVE times since giving birth…but when I started my big plan…I had no clue what all was about to come.  I am still eating like I am pregnant…food is totally my weakness.  I’m a few pounds below what I started before I got pregnant, but now the real work begins!!  Now that the chaos has calmed and we are getting into a routine, I finally see workouts in my future.  We’ve just been staying up way too late working on the house for me to get my lazy, un-disciplined booty out of bed in the mornings to workout.  And let’s face it…from now until probably the next 10 years (at least) that is the ONLY time of day that it is going to be feasible for me to workout.  I am and will probably always be a full time working mama, that means I will never have the time or want to work out after a full day’s work….that time is too precious to me and needs to be dedicated to my family.

We are slowly getting back to taking walks (or golf cart rides) around the neighborhood after work, finally settling on the couch after we put little C to bed and watching some TV (I seriously can’t think of the last time I watched a full show from start to end, I haven’t been as faithful in my Olympic coverage as I would like to be), enjoying having a neighborhood pool, meeting new people, and soaking up EVERY last bit of sunlight each and every day with our girl. 

I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am SO grateful for all of the exciting changes in our life…but I am SO ready for calm.  I am ready for my “normalcy” back.  It’s time.  Time to get back to the routine.  The house projects can wait, life doesn’t.  I don’t want to look back on this time and wish I would have chilled out more…so I am making a point to do that now.  Just CHILL.   

Speaking of watching our sweet girl grow…her latest trick!!!  Of course, she still falls over more than she sits up…but she’s getting the hang of it!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
