Our new baby is finally here!

Finally, we were able to bring our baby home! He is exactly eight weeks old. He had his first vet visit and shots(poor baby) and he is as healthy as can be(yay!) He is 9lbs, such a little porker already. I had work today and it broke my heart having to leave him here that whole time! And of course he left a big mess for moma to clean up when she got home, hehe. Landon and I adorrre him to pieces and of course first night home, we let him sleep with us in the bed. He is such a snuggle bug. Always wants to be held and won't fall asleep for a nap unless he is in someones lap. :)

Cutest little fuzziest things ever..

These adorable little babies ate right from our hands! We will be on the hunt tomorrow for these little guys again, with lots of more bread! :) Oh.. and there's Landon after his hair cut... I already miss those waves and curls... :/

On another note.. Landon and I have had the Flu for the past couple days, boo! The head one, not the tummy one, thank goodness for that at least. We are in recovery and with all the vitamins, juice and medicine, we should be brand new in no time! Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Finally created my new blog

My blog for my weight loss is up and running, but definitely needs a ton of work still. Just threw in the basics so far.

This is a blog to document my journey through weight loss and in getting good health. And boy, am I excited to begin this huge, important part of my life. ABOUT TIME!

the new blog!

Landon..

I have been wishing more than anything lately, that Landon would slow down on growing. So often now I find myself stopping in my tracks from something he does or says. It's so cute he knows his little own responsibilities, like getting dressed in the morning and at night, brushing his teeth which he no longer needs my help with, starting his bath water.. he climbs into his car seat and buckles himself, even when I try to help, he shoos me away. Knows to wash his hands and face after he eats. And he is almost on the verge of getting the straw in his Caprisun! He is becoming more independent, and though I know it's good for him, I don't like it one single bit. I miss my little baby, who I could just pick up and cuddle whenever I wanted.. I liked having to do every thing for him. I must admit though.. that little booty in little boy boxer briefs are just the cutest thing in this world. Before I know it, he'll be in school.. then I really won't know what to do with myself. But for now I will bask in the moments in present time, for these will also someday be a thing of the past.

Lately through instagram

Where do I even begin??

Ever had a great idea, to do something, and don't know where to begin? That's me, right about now.

When Theron and I first got together over five years ago, and I was just getting in the scene of being around his family all the time, I remember when I saw his mom working on this shell mirror(which to this day is still in complete, she's quite the procrastinor). It was huge, and beyond beautiful. It had large shells, small shells, colorful shells, rare shells, shells I have never seen before on the beach. And Lord knows how long it took her to collect all these things! She had vase upon vase filled to the brim with shells, buckets, baskets. I was a little taken aback. Then there was this time I went on the back porch and started helping her paint the shells with a clear shiny coat of paint, to keep them looking wet. she would individually paint these little, big shells each, and set them out to dry. The whole process takes a long time.. but my goodness, afterwards the shells are gorgeous. So one day I decided to try out my out little shell mirror project. I went to Michael's and bought a couple $2 plain thick frame mirrors. The wood not yet coated with paint, just sanded. I got back to Theron's house, used his mothers glue gun and some of her shells as well as mine I began to collect from the beach, and started getting at it. Took a good few hours, mind you these mirrors are not that big at all, just regular 8x10. I was beyond satisfied with the outcome. They came out as I imagined, even better!

I guess what has been weighing on my mind for quiet some time is that Id love to take this little hobby of mine further. Handcraft mirrors, frames, or anything someone throws at me. Just to make a few extra bucks on the side. Maybe have a little online shop. That brings me back to the reason of this post. Where do I even begin? I don't know how to create a website, advertise... I don't know how to do anything to get this little idea of mine started. I know there are a ton of ladies on here who have their own little shops online for all their nifty things they make. If anyone out there can help me, please do.

I've always wanted to do this, for years.. I'm motivated now more than ever, I just don't have a clue on how to go about it. I guess Landon and I better start going to the beach again to collect some sea shells, hehe.

Theron's last day home..

Today is Theron's last day home. I unfortunately have to work *sad face*.. We had a wonderful Easter with both of our families.. We certainly ate to the point where we thought our tummies would explode. Landon Easter egg hunted with his cousins. They had the best time. I love this age he is in. He's starting to remember everything he does. Wherever we go and do, he'll have stashed away in a little part of his mind to think back on. :) Gonna go snuggle with babe and get every little bit of time I can with him today..

Here is a photo from Easter - mid egg hunt.

Slowly but surely,

I seem to be drifting further and further away from the blogging world.. I no longer feel the need to want to check it when I jump on the computer in my free time. I never know what to write about. Life is uneventful for the most part. I don't feel like I write for me. And who am I kidding? I'm not even big on writing or expressing myself.. There isn't even a point in me keeping this, I think. To keep track of photos and things I can remember? I've been thinking about ridding this whole blogging thing. Maybe if something interesting happens in my life, worth talking about, sharing with others... I may create a new one. I'm not certain... I may keep it to just write about things from time to time. But I definitely won't be writing like I used to. Hope everyone has had an amazing Easter, fun with family love and tons of fun!

A new weight loss journey. getting fit and staying healthy.

I can't believe it is already April. Seriously? Can the days go by any faster? It seems as though New Years wasn't that long ago, we're already in the fourth month? But there is a benefit to the beginning of each month. Theron is home! *insert happy dance here!* Yay! :) You can definitely say we are one incredibly happy family at the moment. We have so much going on while he's home. One thing in particular I'm excited about is a little trip to a near water park. The weather is certainly allowing for such a day already. First day of Spring was just a couple weeks ago, and it already feels like the middle of Summer. Thanks Florida. Absolutely cannot wait! I am so glad Theron is back. Back at home, in my arms, no longer falling asleep every night alone..

>>And I think I am going to create a second blog. Honestly, I am to my breaking point of hating how truly unfit and unhealthy I am. I am over weight for my height, sluggish, always fatigue, drinking 5 sodas daily, fast food, no fruits or veggies, no daily intake of vitamins and I see the tole it's taking on me and unfortunately Landon. I teamed up with my cousin Rea and am getting a gym membership to Lifestyles. It's pretty pricey... but I realized my health was more important than paper. So I took the jump. It even has child care. So why us mommies are getting our work out on, the kids can go play and do their thing. But my new blog will be an entire different journey in my life. I hope I can dedicate to it as much as I'm thinking I will. Id love to.. I think it would be a great way to get support, to keep me motivated, and also I could inspire another whose in my shoes to do something to better themselves as well. I can't wait to start.
