A Morning Routine For A Productive Day

Lately, our morning routine has changed tremendously. We used to sleep in as much as possible because we would be up alf the night with one of our babies, but now that they are both sleeping through the night, we have started waking up earlier. I love waking up before the kids because it is so peaceful and I can get a lot done in a short amount of time. It is also the only time I really have to pamper myself and plan for a productive day.

Moms Can Handle Chaos

Moms can handle a lot, right? Blah. I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how crazy this week has been. We took a semi-spontaneous trip to Florida because we really needed to get away from everything for a few days. While it did us a world of good, we all got sick and have been feeling bad all week. It is not easy taking care of two sick babies while you yourself are feeling bad. On top of all that, I had a procedure done yesterday to take a spot off of my back and I have stitches and the works so I have been super sore. The icing on the cake? Last Saturday we got a call that the seller of our new house backed out. They have decided not to sell their home at all. While I am trying so hard to be okay with this, respect the sellers’ decision, and to know that God has a plan it has been hard. I have not had the best attitude about it. We had gone through the entire process minus the closing day. We had it inspected, the owners fixed the things that needed fixing, we had a contractor go over there with us and walked him through all of the changes we were making. We had plans drawn up, I had the entire place decorated in my head and Hampton has been asking to go to the new house every day for the last two weeks. Talk about a dagger in the heart. To say I am bummed would be an understatement because I loved that house. It was perfect for our family. Now, we are back at square one. So, who’s ready for the weekend? This girl! I am ready to blow a kiss at this week.

How to Go On Vacation Without Missing A Beat On Your Blog

When I took a reader survey a few weeks ago, I had an overwhelming response from you saying you wanted to see more fashion posts and blog tips! I thought that was pretty neat because I honestly wasn’t expecting that. I thought I would have more requests for recipes and parenting posts. While I will definitely be sharing all of the above, I thought today would be an appropriate day to share how I go on vacation without missing a beat on the blog because, well, I just got back from a 5 day vacation and over the weekend I had a post go viral. Yep, you read that right. I still had an amazing week on the blog even though I was resting and enjoying family. So, how do I do it?

Spring Fever

The last couple of days have been so much warmer and have given me a huge case of spring fever. Or, maybe it’s my actual fever that is giving me spring fever. Who knows? We just got back into town from my grandmother’s house in Florida and we all caught colds of some sort while we were there, so we are feeling pretty yucky. Good thing the weather matches our moods today – thank you rainy day!  If you need us, we will be snuggling up with coffee, watching movies in bed most of the day. I’m not even ashamed to say I’ve been living in sweatpants the last 2 days. We have a full weekend ahead and I have to get us all feeling better.

So, while I’m battling my actual fever, let me share a few of my spring fever wishes:

Sophie Raegan is 9 Months Old

My sweet little princess was 9 months old yesterday. It is so hard to believe that we will be celebrating her first birthday in 3 short months. Let me tell you, these months are flying by. I wish I could bottle up every moment and every little face expression and sound she makes. She is perfect in every way and continues to make me so happy and proud. She is the sweetest little baby and so precious. She is a cuddle bug like my Hampton, and I hope she always will be.

How to Prepare for a Road Trip with Babies

We love to travel as a family, but I’d be lying if I told you there wasn’t a little part of me that worries every time we get in the car to drive for an extended period of time. If you’re a mom, you probably have at least one horror story of something crazy happening on a vacation. We have had several crazy things happen to us over the last few years, but the good far outweighs the bad. Taking our babies on a road trip is something I will always look forward to because we always make many memories.

5 Total Body Workouts for Rainy Days

On Wednesday, we drove down to Florida to spend a few days with my grandparents and to spend some time relaxing. We love to come down to the beach for the obvious reasons, but things have been chaotic at home and it was the perfect time for us to get away as a family for a while. The only downfall? It has been raining since we got here. One thing I was most looking forward to was running on the beach in the mornings, but that hasn’t happened yet. You know what they say? When it rains, pull out your total body, rainy day workouts!

Rainy Day Workouts

Rainy Day Workouts:

  1. This Total Body Tone Up from Tone it Up works all of the right places. It’s under 15 minutes and is perfect for a quick indoor workout.
  2. These fitness moves with your kids by Simply Sadie Jane is such a fun one and an amazing workout!
  3. If you’re wanting to burn baby burn, try this Kettle Booty workout from Katrina! I love her kettle bell workouts. They make me feel much stronger and I burn a million calories during these workouts. That is a real estimation.
  4. I love doing this quick full body workout from Taylor and Ange to get my blood flowing in the mornings.
  5. And my final favorite rainy day workout is the Hiity Bitty Bikini HIIT workout! I love a good HIIT routine. It gives you a huge amount of calories burned without having to get out and run. When you are rained in, it’s the perfect way to get your burned calorie count up.

As you may have noticed, I included 3 from Tone it Up because they are basically my favorite resource for free workouts. Most all of their routines can be done at home and they have helped me lose my baby weight after both of my pregnancies. I’ve had a lot of success following their weekly fitness schedules, so definitely check them out if you need a couple of people to light a fire under you.

16 Books You Should Read In 2016

One of my favorite posts every year is when I share the books I plan to read. Why? Because I love to read and I put a lot of thought into what I want to read every year. After all, there are only so many months in a year and I have two babies, so there isn’t as much time for reading these days as I’d like and I want to make sure that the books I enjoy are worth the read.

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for the Ladies

We are a little less than 3 weeks away from Valentine’s Day! I love this holiday so much! Okay, I love every holiday, but I especially love celebrating love and more personally, my husband. I also like to make the holidays special for my babies because I was raised in a family where ever holiday was celebrated and important. We had such fun traditions and I always looked forward to the holidays because of them. I want my children to have that.
