It will be fall...

It will officially be fall Monday. Autumn, Fall, whatever you choose to call it, is my most favorite time of year. I don't know about you but the season definitely has an effect on my mood, and fall puts my spirits right up there. The smell, the colors, the coffee....coffee is better when there is a chill in the air. Halloween is secretly my favoirte holiday. I couldn't tell you why actually because it goes against my personality in so many ways. Pumpkins, oh how I love pumpkins, and fall wreaths, it's consuming! This will be my first fall season with a baby, a son. I am so so excited to experience this new season with him. For the last three months i haven't felt much like myself and to be honest I've had a bit of trouble getting used to the new normal. I'm 27 so I was a bit set in my ways, but now i'm adjusting. I'm not going to say i'm getting the hang of it, but I will say I'm letting go of my "everything has to be perfect" montra. I try less hard at keeping a tidy house and more at keeping my boy happy. I just love to stare at him. I keep hearing the song lyrics "I can't believe you're mine" in my head everytime I look at him. I know he's too young to do all the typical fall activities such as go on a hay ride at the pumpkin patch and go to Fallapalooza at the Library (I can't wait to go with Tucker when he gets old!!!!!!!!!!!!), I'm picturing a scene in my favorite movie You've Got Mail when they're at the little fair and then go into the book store for story time, but I can still do some fun fall activities such as get his halloween pictures taken and Hopefully get a family fall picture taken. (I'm a little obsessed with pictures I know.) Side Note: Not sure how often I will post, most likely just weekend posts or anytime I find a random moment filled with thoughts. Have a great weekend. It is my Monday so for all of you TGIF's out there, I will be giving you the stink eye ;) -B

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 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

Sweet Moments

As I sit here watching the sunrise out the window I think about how my little boy is going to be one year old soon. Things have changed so much in a year. Life has gotten so much more joyful and so much more complicated. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second little boy and all I can think is I need to hold Tucker as much as I can. I'm sure I'm having every thought that goes through a moms mind when she has a second baby so close to the first. This is too soon, I need more time with my first. I'm scared to add another little rambunctious one to the mix. Will they get along? Will they fight more than they get along? What will life be like? So today I'm going to remember the sweet moments I have with Tucker, like putting him to sleep at night. I don't do this often, Josh has gotten into the routine since I have a growing belly which makes it difficult when Tucker is in a wiggle mood. But a few nights ago I put him to sleep, he feel asleep in my arms. I s
