Happy, Happy, Happy

Hello everyone!
Sorry ithas been a few days since I did a post but wehave just been busy with playdates and the holiday weekend!

So lately pancakes have been my go to breakfast in the morning because they are just so dang yummy. My secret to amazing pancakes weather they are from scratch (which is how we make them) or from the box, I always always add vanilla extract! ALWAYS! And if I have french vanilla creamer, I will substitute that for the milk and OH MY LORD....they come out tasting like vanilla cake and smelling like vanilla bean ice cream! It is the best substitute I have found in my cooking.

Fitness Friday!

Hello Everyone!

So this month for me, is going to be about working out and attempting to eat healthier!

I love working out as long as it doesn't consist of running...or push up...or sit ups! 

So what kind of work out do I enjoy???

ZUMBA!!!

Now, I'm not one of those people who is completely obsessed with zumba.  I don't have all the clothing and accessories and what not.  I enjoy going once a week to my gym to a zumba class, but other than that, I do it at HOME!

That's right zumba at home, it's actually a lot of fun!  & it gets my toddler up and moving too.

I have a link to youtube that has 6 videos of a zumba class on base that I use to go to.  The instructor, Melissa, is amazing!  But...she doesn't do classes here anymore :( 

All of her songs are modern and up-beat, they aren't regular zumba songs.  Make sure you are drinking lots of water during these work outs.  A zumba class usually lasts an hour, so if you're looking for the full 1 hour work out, you're going to have to find more videos because I don't believe the 6 videos add up to an hour! But they still give you a good workout!

I don't own any of the rights to these videos they are all from youtube.

Enjoy!

The Terrible 18 Months?

Hello Everyone!

Today has just been one of those days where you are terribly tired, and cranky...and so is your toddler.  It seems that for the past few days, (or what seems as weeks) my little one has:

1. Been a picky eater, which she is not. She usually eats anything. I can only get raisins and fruit in her, and the occasional chicken nugget.

2. Screams at the top of her lungs for no reason, or when she doesn't get her way.

3. Runs away from me as soon as I walk towards her. (screaming)

4. Is obsessed with getting her hands on my ipad.

5. Doesn't want her diaper on.

6. Refuses to have anything to do with me unless its to breastfeed.

7. Will not go to bed at her normal time, or sleep in her own crib.

8. Destroys everything in her path.

9. Bites, hits, and scratches.

That was my rant.

End.

Dr. Sears's tips for screaming, biting, and hitting are linked here, and here.

Fresh Florals & Baby Toes!

Hello Everyone!

I've decided to start an "official" blog.  So why not start it on the 1st day of SPRING!!!  Fresh starts, fresh beginnings, and fresh adventures in motherhood, or should I say toddler-hood.

When I think of spring, I think of flowers, fresh grass, picnics, and birds chirping away.  As you can see my little princess enjoys the wild flowers outside, and running barefoot through the grass!

1. Spring also means fun clothes!!!
