Monday Musings: 

This past week has been insane. I had a packed week at work (conference style!) and Jim brewed every single day. Basically - each day was a 12-14 hour work day for these kids but we still managed to find some fun in the mix :) 

I am starting to see McKinley's personality come through a little more and y'all - she is a force to be reckoned with! I know everyone says that each child will be different and that could not be more true for our two. McKinley's stubborn streak baffles Jim and I daily - although I have to respect the girl's eating style: Back off biotch, if you want to keep your handz... 

Anyone else getting that message? Just me? Oh, okay... just checking.

Before the week started I got to head out for a little "Amy-time" and get some new black pants. I know, nothing exciting right? Normally I would be annoyed to have to shop for clothes instead of something fun but this time it is because all my pants are just too big. 

That's right - even my pre-pregnancy pants have gotten too big at this point! I am still in shock really but it feels so good to see the results from hard work and consistency. Don't get me wrong.. I take days off and have my cheat meals but I chose real foods and to dedicate 30 minutes a day to working out and it is paying off. (insert self high five!)

Finally - on Saturday we had a pretty packed family day. Jimmy was adamant about us getting out of the house early and enjoying the beautiful weather so we packed up and headed to the local farmers market at the beach. 

Then this happened y'all. I am not going to lie - it was hilarious and I am so glad we did it. Wyatt LOVED it (he is named after Wyatt Earp after all!) and I burst out laughing every time I look at it. 

Monday Musings

What's that? Possibly a weekly theme?

Who knows... we will see if it sticks or not. 

Truthfully, I used to keep a family blog to share with close friends and family that are out of town. I love being able to look back at Wyatt (my four year old's) first year and see all of his little moments that are easily forgotten. I am thinking this is a great spot to reflect at the past week and remember the good, the bad and the "oh snap - geriatric Amy may forget but that shit was funny!" moments in life. 

Let there be Light! 

After a crazy two-week bender out of town for a work conference I came home ready to get my family time on! Luckily, the kids did not forget who I was and McKinley was on board with letting me hold her for a long time - aka, would start screaming if I tried to put her down - for the first hour back. 

Family Fun Day consisted of: a trip to the farmers market, marathon expo, our first trip to the beach, playing at the park and a picnic dinner. So yes, perfect on all accounts. Sure - there were tears and grumpy toddler moments, and we were in sweatshirts instead of flip-flops but days like that are just what I needed to recharge!

That "oh snap" - Know Who You Are - Moment..

As you all know, I am full on -girl crush mode - in love with the 21 Day Fix. I have completed almost 5 rounds of the workouts now and STILL am not bored. Autumn is my girl and I have not found another workout that gets the total body moving, losing weight and toning up so fast! However - with Beachbody On Demand - I have the option to try out a TON of different programs as part of my package. I never turn down "free" y'all.

Sooo... I have NO rhythm. At all. Try as I might... I am going through Brazilian Butt Lift, Turbofire and more and man - is it fun! I think it is even more fun for my husband and the kids to watch me attempt to these moves. As a woman who cannot even clap and sing at the same time... #partyfail I will not give up though!! 

Let There Be...Food Prep

Two weeks of eating out every.single.meal means that the minute I got home I was anxious for a home cooked meal! Jimmy did not disappoint. The man can cook and I was welcomed home with steaks, marinated chicken, roasted veggies, and more! Even more - food was prepped! I packed my 21 Day Fix containers as soon as I walked in the door and nom.nom.nom my stomach was full! 

Be still my heart, this man knows me so well :)
