Thursday Things

First off, I must say I am truly happy for finding Katie Gagliano over at Healthy Diva Life. She is truly inspiring and as I read through some of her posts, I realize we have so much in common. We both have 9 month old boys and we both want to live a healthy & happy lifestyle. Her post today talked about letting go. Letting go of the negativity, stress, and unhappiness. I find that I am definitely over thinking things lately. I often think negatively when I should be thinking more positively. When I take a second to STOP and look at my life, I have so many things to be grateful for. There is no reason for the negative thoughts, stress or unhappiness.


I took Katie’s advice and I took 5 minutes to just sit in complete silence.

I was able to clear my mind, breathe and find peace.

There is something truly magical about being still.

I realized some of my thoughts are a waste. They are simply ‘noise.’ I definitely needed this today. Thank you Katie!

Some other happy things for Tuesday:

Chas took his first selfie! He is way too cute, I could EAT him up!

We celebrated our niece Molly’s 2nd birthday! It is incredible to think she was a mere 2lbs. 1oz. when born! She has come such a long way. We are so proud of her. Chas looks up to her cousin so much. She is such a smart, adorable, beautiful little girl. We love her so much! XOXO

And this stuff is amazing! Lakewood’s organic pineapple juice. I’ve been using this to make my Morning Bombshell’s. That recipe is from the Tone it up Meal plan that you can get here.

I purchased the meal plan and officially became a member in February!! I am so excited and have not even begun to put a dent in the recipes. I plan on getting more organized with my weekly meal plan and start experimenting with some of their recipes. I wanted to start with their 7 day slim down but have to wait until we do groceries again.

And next was definitely a very happy moment of the day…

FEELS LIKE SPRING!!!

I was finally able to take Chas & Boots for a walk. We have been receiving a ridiculous amount of snow here in the Maritimes even though it is supposedly spring. We have definitely been going a bit stir crazy, that’s for sure. I love being able to get out for a walk every single day when I can. It’s nice to be able to get out, enjoy the sunshine and get some exercise - not only for myself but for the dog as well!

Someone enjoyed it so much, they fell asleep ; ) …

He’s such a little cutie. I just love my little man to pieces. Shades are from H&M!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thursday! … and don’t forget, take the time to just be still & find happiness!

1. Comparison between 14 weeks & 18 weeks pregnant! I’m almost halfway there now!!!

3. Pic with the birthday girls, Lindsay!! xo
4. An old one of Boots when we were staying at my parents place while the painters were doing their magic in our home.
5. Can you tell, I just love my dog to pieces. Here he is winking at the camera ;)
6. Loving my new Christmas prezzie from the hubby. He even got me matching boots. Nicely done, nicely done!! xOx

1, 7, 13 and 17: The star of my of my Instagram pictures, my sweet loveable rescue dog, Boots! Here he is going for a walk, enjoying some relaxing time on the couch, snoozing in the hallway & lastly putting himself to bed (in our bed) at 6pm on a Saturday night. Guess someone wasn’t happy he was kept up late on Friday evening!

2 and 3: Hubby & I coached a basketball team this year and this was our year-end brunch with the girls. They gave us gift cards to our favorite stores. Hubby = 150$ Source for Sports & Me = 150$ LULULEMON!! : )

4, 5, 6, 9 and 10: Attended my friend’s bachelorette! Complete with ‘Banana Golf’, ‘YouTube video-making: Call me maybe’, mustaches/crowns & of course, TP bridal gowns! Fun times for sure! Love those ladies.

8: I am completely obsessed with Jodi Picoult lately. Working on reading every single one of her novels. This is my newest read: Nineteen Minutes!

11: Almost pool time! Pool opens up Monday morning. Very much looking forward to summer vacation, reading & tanning by the pool.

12: Reminiscing about last summer. Best day of my life: August 13th, 2011.

14 & 15: New nails & outfit!

16: My two favorite boys relaxing on a Friday night!

I’m linking up with Jenni over at Story of My Life. You should too!

Hope you had a great week/week-end!

Project 365–Week 4

So first things first…

1)  I must make it more of a habit to post these immediately when I have snapped the 7th picture of the week.

2)If I was blogging on a more regular basis, I think this would just come naturally. I would not be so LATE with my posts.

In any case… I am just so happy that I have finally gotten totally caught up… & hopefully this won’t happen again!

Here are my pictures for prior weeks…

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

January 20th – January 26th

 

January 20: Gotta love our Canadian winters.
No complaints here though, this winter has been fabulous! (thus far)

 

 

 

January 21: My husband & I coach a girl’s basketball team.
The 21st & 22nd was our weekend to host our home tournament.
This is a picture of a few of the girls between games.

 

 

 

January 22: Day 2. Still going strong …

 

 

 

January 23: Hospital trip!
Luckily it wasn’t because I had to go to the ER.
It was just to meet with a doctor.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the news I was looking for
& it looks like I will need surgery again next summer…

 

 

 

January 24: Let’s just say … I need to understand ‘men’ (a.k.a. my husband) a little better in terms of where they come from & why they think we’re crazy at times!

 

 

 

January 25: I’m not sure if it’s because of my iPhone project on Instagram … but my new Canon has been pretty lonely these days. I posted this to remind myself to USE IT more!!!!!
(& learn how to …)

 

 

 

January 26: Half a snow day! My students were sent home around noon … the last bus students to leave only left around 1:30 … so it was still a long day lol … would have been much better to of had the whole day off but I shouldn’t complain. An hour or two is better than none… & I got to come home to this! :)
