~MANIC MONDAY~
Favorite Photo of the Week:
{Daddy reading Emma..."Ten Little Fairies"}
Highlights of last week included:
~Being able to dip into my business....quite a bit and got my motor revved up. Had a fab meeting with two of my fav people and industry friends...
~Date out on the town with my gal pal, Aimee...we were suppose to go to yoga and instead somehow ended up at Buca Di Beppo...and discussed why we should have a reality show.
~Some great conversations with Justin on parenting, money, scheduling, balancing work outs and date nights. I think we can do this!
Last week I learned:
~Confession, I was a real spaz last week. Sometimes I think I have to have everything figured out all at once. I did a lot of soul searching and list making on how I want to move forward with life and my efforts in wanting to be....June Cleaver {The Perfect Wife/Mom}, Martha Stewart {The Perfect Homemaker}, Jillian Michaels {Fitness Goddess}, Preston Bailey/Colin Cowie {Wedding & Event Designer Extraordinaire} and Gwen Stefani {Just Plain Cool}. And learning that it's impossible "perfect" any one of these roles...but I can certainly strive for some balance each week in dipping into each role daily.
Yes This Actually Happened:
~I got my hair did. I have an awesome stylist: Lisa Berger....and she's just super fun to hang with. She's crazy professional and is always up with the latest trend. Right now, she's promoting tie dye clip in extensions! So fun, I tempted to buy a few!!
Feeling Appreciative:
~For my precious babies who are making me a better more balanced person, for my husband who continues to be my most perfect team mate in the game of life.
{My brother Chase and Hannah Bug)
~For my mom, dad, and brother...who can't go a week without spending time with Hannah and Emma..which allows me time away from the babies to work on my other goals (ultimately making me a better mama).
Bringing Sexy Back:
~So far I've lost a total of 3lbs of the leftover baby weight...not as quickly as I'd like, but I'll take it. I was trying to seek perfection in my diet and workouts, making myself really exhausted and stressed about tracking all my foods and work outs...rather than seeking balance. After trying out my free pass, I decided not to join L.A. Fitness...just not right for me. Instead I joined Lifetime Fitness...a little more glam..tons of group fitness classes, and tons of fun family activities. Super stoked!
New Fab Finds:
Baby Moments I Want to Remember:
~Both babies are starting to "talk" in the sense that they coo, it's especially cute when they coo back in response to question we ask them.
~Hannah has started "reaching" trying to touch the stars in her pack in play
~Both babies can see at greater distances now
{Exhausted after tons of fun at Grandpa & Grammie's House)
~They've officially grown out of two sets of jammies, which makes me a bit sad. I told Justin we have to save them to make a quilt with ( his response walking away, "oh great...another quilt that wont ever get made")
~Hannah tries putting everything in her mouth...including her sister. (head, elbow, leg...you name it)
~Emma has started this new "scream" thing when she's really trying to get her point across, it's hilarious.
*********************************************************************
On the horizon for this week:
~Babies turn 2 months! Oh my!
~Continuing to seek balance and not put too much pressure on each role (us women can be so hard on ourselves!)
~Hopefully, finally posting photos and the birth story of Hannah & Emma's Arrival
~Finalizing my new blog (yes, I have a new one in the works)
~Finalizing my tax info for J.Starr Biz
~Hopefully have some friends over for a dinner party
~Hopefully sneak in a date night
