This time of year

I've heard a lot of people say lately that Fall is their favorite time of year. I am no different, I look forward to fall like I look forward to a long hot shower. The summer drains me, especially when pregnant and especially with a new baby. I like the cook crisp air of fall and I like the leaves when they crunch, I like all of the cliché things too such as boots, sweaters, and the good ol' pumpkin spice latte. (which I have recently tried to recreate at home and have failed miserably) Something I would like to start doing this fall on the blog is reviews. I am currently in the market for a nespresso and when I do get it I would like to review it here on the blog. I am a huge coffee/espresso lover and any time I find something that changes the game I'm going to share it. I would also like to do baby/toddler reviews, I just signed up to receive Highlights, the childrens magazine that I used to read when I was little. Well they have a new baby/toddler version where the pages are suppose to be rip-proof. Excited about that! That was off topic. Anyhow this time of year I like to take long walks, I like to drink hot coffee and I like to huddle around a camp fire. While I am able to do these things I have to be a bit more strategic with my time since I have 2 under 2. Grant is more awake these days and rebelling against his carseat and the baby carrier so I have to get a sitter If I want to go on that long walk, whereas Tucker is absolutely loving the stroller so maybe I will take him with me. Can I mention one thing though? Nearly a year and a half after having Tucker and I STILL miss my husband. Not that he's not home often because he is but it's still not the same as being Kid free with him. We spent so much time together before kids, taking long walks, drinking coffee, going on hikes, and going to the movies. None of which we get to do now and it's almost like I'm mourning that old relationship and trying to form this new one where I don't get to see him nearly as much as I used to and when I get to these days I'm too tired to put much effort in besides vegging out in front of the tv and watching our show together. Anyhow that said I'm looking forward to school work this fall (I like to learn, who knew) and starting a new pop pilates class at the end of this month. Also looking forward to Halloween, which is one of my most favorite holidays! I wanted to dress up but yea, with a rebellious husband, no way. Anyhow there's a random update for you. Also I would like to start sharing with you what I am currently reading. Enjoy.

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...
