Stuck
I got my face stuck. While on a road trip, my toddler dropped her toy for the millionth time and one of my many duties as head passenger was to assist and attempt to stave off a tantrum. Of course, she dropped it on the side of her car seat by the door, furthest from...
#fail
Last night I kinda sucked at the mom thing. My food loving daughter was stuffing her cheeks full of chicken and peas until she was practically overflowing then proceeded to throw a fit because I wouldn’t give her more. When I realized her mouth was so full that she...
Milk out of Wine Glasses
I just drank milk out of a wine glass. A big wine glass with my name on it that was given to me at my “Bachelorette” celebration. You see it started with a mini cannoli. I ate said mini cannoli (AFTER my workout of course) and needed a quick drink. What quenches...
I’m not a Beast
I’m not a beast. I was frustrated with myself tonight. I was mid-workout and struggling. Like stru-guh-ling. Sweaty, weak, modifying moves. Knowing I should be doing better. I should be able to do more. I should use the heavier weights, I should last longer, I...
You Used to Call Me On My Cell Phone
I had a dance party this morning. And by that I mean, I danced in my living room by myself to a cover of “Hotline Bling” while my 10 month old walked back and forth across the room with her zebra walker. An acoustic cover at that. Does anything say “I need a dance...
The Cardboard Shield
For the first time in my life, the other day I felt anxious going to the grocery store. It sounds silly- it’s something I’ve done a million times. And I’m not one of those people that hates grocery shopping. I don’t mind strolling down each aisle, getting what I need...
Ain’t no rest for the… mamas
I’m exhausted. The baby, who is currently napping (fingers crossed) is historically not the best sleeper, and this week has been particularly rough. 45 minute naps, waking up multiple times in the night. And when she’s tired, she’s craaaannnkkkkyyy. I don’t have any...
Do I Deserve Soap Operas and Bon Bons?
I took a bath the other night. Not just any bath, a long, hot bath filled with bath bombs AND bubbles. I had all the props too- a candle lit, a very full glass of wine, chocolate, a good book. I even turned the baby monitor off! OK let’s be real- I turned the volume...
Gettin Fancy
I might skip yoga today, I have a really good reason… I don’t want to change out of normal clothes. You see today is the first day in idontknowhowlong that i have normal clothes on. Normal as in jeans and a sweater. But my hair is NOT in a knot on my head and i have...
Confession
I used the bathroom while wearing my baby. Yes. I sat on the toilet and did what I had to do while my sweet, beautiful, 4 week old babe was snugly wrapped in a baby carrier, resting on my torso. Thankfully, she was sound asleep, her head against my chest, breathing...
