Keeping up!

"The struggles of today will one day be a distant memory, but your children are only children once, enjoy them!" Jamerrill Stewart If you are a blogger or you read other mom's blogs you have probably noticed the few things I have. One: Their house is spotless and organized in 90% of their pictures, Two: they have what seems like a million and one hours in a day and Three: They tend to keep their lives pretty well organized. I sit her envious for a minute and then shake my head wondering where the hell they got these...

ONE!!!!

"Shine bright little lady, never let anyone dull your shine!"    As you grow and I see the world your being brought up in it makes me so sad and worried. Sad that you will grow up in a generation where girls dress in mini skirts and crop tops by the time they are ten if not younger. Sad that having a cell phone by age 7 is normal, or that sitting in front of a TV or playing on an IPad is more entertaining than going to the park. I'm worried that you will be exposed to drugs and drinking before your able to drive a...

And then there were two!

"The only thing that will be better than being married to my best friend is raising two kids given to me by him!" "Holy crap are you guys crazy", "Did you plan this", I'm sure the question has been in everyone's mind but aside from family no one really has the guts to ask, and really who wants to upset an emotional pregnant Amanda anyways! So I'll take the ease off for you all and just answer the question the best I can! We arent stupid we know how babies are made and unfortunately we also know what it feels like to experience loss...

A little honesty goes a long way!

"No one likes a liar"   People who personally know me know that I am probably one of the most brutally honest people out there! Even if I know it will hurt someone I always try to be as honest as I can be because 90% of the time its the right thing to do and the other 10% of the time I typically won't even respond unless they want to know how I truly feel or what I truly think. Some of my friends opt to not even tell me things on occasion cause they know I'll be honest with them and they just don't want to hear it. So...

 "You are my sunshine my only sunshine."   What do you mean she's 9 months old? Can we freeze time please! I have been delaying the update cause Anya had her 9month appointment yesterday so I wanted to wait till I had her weight! Oh and taking her 9month photos felt impossible! She just wanted to rip the sticker off her shirt the entire time. Anya is still so tiny weighing in at 15.5lbs. I didn't get her height but she's pretty tall! She has huge feet for her age size 4. She's still fits in 3-6 and 6 month clothes but...

36 down 54 to go!!

  "Learn to work through the pain then push HARDER!"   I can hardly believe that its already been a month since I started working out! We were supposed to do a 30 day weigh in and measurements but, confession time, I definitely didn't. I was sick and worked three days last week and boy did it kick my butt! Although I absolutely loved sending time with the kids and it gave me clarification that I really want to go back, just not yet! I am going to take the next four months and enjoy every minute have alone with Anya. But...

Never thought I'd have a 'social' life

"Good friends are like starts you don't always see them but you know they are there!"     Have you ever wondered why someone made online dating or any social media site for that matter? Have you ever thought "why not just meet someone the old fashion way" or "why do people care so much about someone they dont even know"? I have always been pretty socially awkward and I'm pretty out there or as my husband would say a little crazy, which I really can't deny! But never in my life did I think id have relationships...
