Early Mornings

It's 7 am and I've been up since 4:30, first to feed Tucker then to have some "me" time. As a new mom I find I am always going going going, If I'm not taking care of Tucker I am at work, if I'm not at work I'm either cleaning house, or doing homework, or spending time with family and trying to entertain Tucker. It's hard. But definitely more enjoyable than having a lot of free time (pre-baby life) where you just sit around the house and binge watch netflix. Yep that was my life. lol Now I'm tired all the time but it's totally fine, actually better than fine, I love my new life, getting up at 4:30 am is nothing, I've got this! So recently I've been thinking about what I used to do and what I used to enjoy before the baby so I can start to incorporate it back into my life. It has been an adjustment finding my new "mom-self" the thing is; I also don't want to lose who I am or who I was. I used to be what you would call a health food junkie and I used to workout most days of the week. I would either teach an aerobics class or play tennis. I loved yoga and really enjoyed the way it made me feel. So the first thing I want to incorporate back into my life is meditation (which happens to be new, I've never done it before) and then some yoga. I plan want to try to do this during Tuckers first nap of the day. We'll see how that goes, but as for now it's a step. *The app I'm using for meditation is called Headspace if you're interested. Until next time, -B

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....
