Hello again

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Actually the last time I blogged was when Lucy was about 10 days old. Life got kind of crazy figuring out how to parent and be in charge of another life. Then I found out I was pregnant on Lucy’s first birthday. We welcomed baby brother Charles Blaine on September 2, 2017. After that I have been battling a rough case of postpartum depression. 

I can’t even begin to tell you why. Because honestly I have no idea why. I just felt so bad about myself. I gained weight. I wasn’t losing the weight quickly. I hated how I looked. My baby wasn’t sleeping (he still hasn’t got the memo that sleeping through the night is a good thing). But my depression has gotten significantly better. I’m starting to feel back to myself more and more. 

I wanted to blog again because I think it’s a good way to express how I feel and maybe if one person reads it and feels better then it was totally worth it! 

I’ve totally redone by blog and split up some categories that I want to include. My blog is supposed to be about having a healthy mind, body and soul. 

A healthy body includes things that I do to keep my body healthy. I am working on getting my body back to where it was before I had the babies. Or at least somewhere that I am happy with (hopefully more muscle and less jiggle, but some jiggle because donuts).

My family section will be all about my cute little family. Tyler & I have been married almost 6 years. He is the most supportive husband, and the best partner I could ever ask for. Lucy is almost 2 & a half years old. She is my spitfire, wild child. She is a free spirit with all the sass of a super toddler. Charlie is 8 months old. He is a sweet, cuddle monster. He also doesn't love sleep as much as Lucy so it makes me a little (lot) tired. Hopefully you will find as much joy and laughter in them that I do.

  

I included a fashion and make up section for fun! I am not by any means a beauty blogger or a fashionista. But I am a mom, and I have SOME sense of style. I am also about comfort and realistic clothing & make-up. I am not throwing on my red bottom shoes for a trip to Walmart to get baby food and formula. But being comfy can still be cute!

The lifestyle section is kind of where I'll just put everything else. I am super into taking pictures of the kids & things we do. I love photography. I also love drawing and doing crafts (I'm currently trying to convince my husband we NEEEEED a cricut... almost there).
