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'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....

If I Could

If I thought I was organized enough to keep one book full of information I might be learning the hard way, a day late and a dollar short kind of thing, I would. I would write down every nugget of information for my boys to learn from. Learn from MY mistakes rather than your own. Do I honestly think they will read it and believe it? Maybe when they're 30. Certainly not when they need to read it and learn more about the world, like age 10. I wish I had known so much more before leaving High School. I got dumped into this world naïve and ignorant and just a tad too "happy go lucky" for my own good. I thought all people were like me, happy, nice and trustworthy. I went to school in a bubble and left trying to believe everyone I met was good and honest. There are also so many financial mistakes I've made and a lot of career mistakes, mind you I wouldn't change a thing. I love where I'm at and how I got here, it makes me exactly who I am. I just wish I had known a ...

Nap-time

I'm sitting here during nap time trying to do a million different things. I have this small window of time to myself that i'm torn between getting house work done and having some quiet time. There's so much to do in a day that most days i wish there was a few more hours, or rather I had more energy to stay up later and get stuff done! So here I am with what I expect to be an hour at the most and i'm frazzled because I have so much to do and so little time. As you can tell I've decided to sit down and write a blog post and just get the thoughts I have in my head out. Empty my brain and stop thinking about all the things that need to be done and just enjoy the fact that both kids are napping and my husband just surprised me by coming home early and going to get us some lunch. What is life right now? It's a constant stage of change and chaos. It's these little moments during nap time that I sometimes get to process these chaotic moments and recharge. Thanks k...
