2013 goals vision board!

2013 goals... I still haven't fully written them out. I usually do every first week of January, I've been doing that for years! But this year all 22 days of it has been so hectic.

I looked over my last years goals and I have achieved 5 of goals I wrote down. Which made me feel great. Yay!

Instead of writing my goals this year I decided that I will put my goals with pictures on my vision board. That way I can take a look at them everyday! I'm getting to work on that today!

One goal that I will discuss weekly on my blog is weight loss goals. Daily lifestyle changes/goals.

Life is different with a little one, more busy, less sleep, less time for things like working out. Balancing it all can get a little crazy and you always need room to tweak and adjust the routine because let's face it the baby makes the rules here ha!

Here are my simply put daily goals:

Eating healthy- home cooking
Adding things like daily probiotics, chia seeds, and cooking with coconut oil and olive oil.

Juicing weekly for added nutrients
Exercise 2-3x a week
Increase daily water intake.

Mini goal- to drop 10lbs by spring.

Seems easy enough right ;)

Adorable Baby Art

Wednesday was baby K's last week at daycare (more on this another day) they gave me all the art he has been doing since he started there. Can you say ADORABLE!!

I can't wait to try out his art skills here at home haha. I bought some crayons and paint to try out. Little man will most likely want to eat the paint so I'm thinking of using ketchup and mustard to finger paint with first! Saw this on the baby first channel.

If you have any baby art ideas please send them over my way!

First time using the juicer

I used my juicer for the first time today with what I had around. I'm a newbie so I had a little trouble ha! The apple got stuck in the shoot and I had to unplug and struggle to get it out haha. Baby K thought it was hilarious. Seeing that had some trouble I think I should fully read the instructions and try again tomorrow ha!

A recipe I want to try tomorrow is a vitamin C boost.

Apples
Kale
Oranges

I got a few recipes from friends too so if you have any juicing recipes to share, let me know!

Baby K is feeling a little better today but not fully himself yet. Lots of cuddles will definitely help ;)

Ear infection superbug! Huh?

Little K had been trying to fight this ear infection that keeps hanging around! He has had 4 rounds of antibiotics. This weekend his fever spiked to 104 and was staying between 100-102 with tylenol.

I emailed his doctor and spoke to telehealth. Both suggested I see the doc Monday. Yesterday we saw our doc. He said we would need to do 3 days of 2 antibiotic injections to zap this bacteria. We are praying this works!!!

I am so worried and have been a mess the last couple days.

We are going this afternoon for the second round of shots. Then tomorrow another 2. And hopefully the infection will be gone.

I've also been reading up a lot about natural remedies. We will make sure we are adding probiotics to our diets to get the good bacteria back in his system and mine too! Adding lots of foods with vitamin C, lots of garlic and lots of other healthy foods in our diets to boost immunity.

The past 2 months have been crazy here with the flus.

How are you getting through this flu season??

Burnt out and time to boost energy!

I'm feeling burnt out! The past 2 months of juggling family and work and being sick every other week has me totally burnt out! I can hardly think straight!

This weekend I plan to re-evaluate my goals... I've been saying that for the last month, but I've been so tired I keep forgetting ha!

What do I want for 2013? I'm not exactly sure yet! I'm hoping to make this all clear this weekend!

When I bought the book The Happiness project, I started it, then decided to leave it till January... Well it's January now.

The first chapter "boost energy"

Very fitting for my mood these days.

I'm on it! Happy weekend!

Wordless Wednesday

A weekend of sick and play

Our weekend started off slow and sick! Kristian was still feeling sick in his stomach (he was sick during the week week with a stomach bug or something bad he ate that upset his tummy) I had stomach pain too on the weekend. So we stayed in our pj's all day Saturday the whole family watching movies and cuddling under blankies haha

Sunday we started feeling a little better and had a birthday party to go to. Kristian's friend turned 1! Ha!

He was having a blast at the playland! And ate so much cake too! My sweet little boy.

A late New Years post

Things have been a little upside down here. So I haven't had a chance to really put my New Years resolutions together. That to come! Lifestyle changes to come in many areas of my life. I'm looking forward to many changes in 2013!

New Years Eve we spend at my sisters house with family. It was fun and the kids had a blast together.

We started the new year with being sick already ;( we are home today cuddling and resting.

So glad it's Friday tomorrow!

14 months old!

You are 14 months today!!

You are an amazing little boy! You love to sing and dance and babble away. You are starting to expand your vocabulary and repeat many words we say. You love playing with us and your friends and cousins. You are very social and love being around everyone. You are a happy baby. Always smiling, you bring such joy to our lives.

You are almost 20lbs! You are a great eater! You eat every thing! You still enjoy feeding yourself, mr independent ha! You always put your hands up asking for more. You love sitting and eating meals with us. It's our family time and we love that.

Your sleep has been getting better better these days which makes me happy ;) the days we are off you are always sleeping in, you know what mama needs ;)

You are in size 4 diapers and in 12-18 clothes.

You are running around all over these days. Touching everything. Your favorite thing to do is walk around the dining room in circles giggling away. Ha! You love Zoe and always go pet her when she's around and you try to play ball with her but she doesn't get it.

We love you sooo much! Watching you learn and grow is soo amazing!
Happy 14 months my sweet boy!

Cousin love

Yesterday night I babysat my nieces! It was fun. We were dancing and singing sipping juice and eating sweets haha.
It's soo fun watching my 2 year old niece play with Kristian. He looks up to her and follows her around haha. She was teaching him how to count and showing him the colors of the blocks. Kristian was copying everything she was doing. She was drinking juice so I gave him some too... He wouldn't put the sippy cup down and drank the whole thing.

I love that they are close in age and play together. They are adorable!!!
