Longlazysunday: Week 21

Resurrection Sunday...we made it to church a little late but just in time to hear the message that He Has Risen...and because He died and rose again we can live!! The rest of the Sunday is all about being lazy and spending time with each other. We had an awesome brunch with Grandpa Pancakes and that tired out little man...poor baby! And now we are off to spend the afternoon with our 96year old Church Granny! Today is definitely a blessed day! Hope your Easter Sunday has been awesome thus far! Here are some scenes from our Sunday!!

Currently Obsessing Over...

Good Monday morning Friends! It started snowing in my neck of the woods this morning...whatever happened to Spring coming in like a lamb?? Anyway I wanted to share some of the things I'm currently obsessing over and they include: ALL THE GAMES ON MY IPHONE-words with friends, hanging with friends, gems with friends--I love them all. I'm obsessed with Dance Moms. Following the Bachelor couple Sean and Catherine on twitter. Trying to solve Rubix cube on my iPhone. Number munchers-sharpening my math skills for fun because someday Baby Pancakes is going to need help on his math homework!! And of course Baby Pancakes who is doing so much...I will have to brag on him in a separate post!!! What are you currently obsessed with??

Longlazysunday: Week 20

Good Afternoon ladies!! More than anything I want to be lazy this longlazysunday but my little sweetheart of a man is definitely not having it. He has been up since 6am! So we went to early Church service which was awesome because we were able to do some running around. And still have most of the day ahead of us. We are home now and Baby Pancakes is moving all around the place, trying to knock the tv down and I am so tired I need a nap!!! These are the days I wish I had my mom around. Mr. Pancakes is taking a nap and I'm waiting for my turn! One fun thing about today so far was my McDonalds breakfast!! What have you been up this longlazysunday???

Celebrating 23 Months of Love!!

I am so excited to be celebrating 23 Months of LOVE!!

The fact that we will be married for 2 years next month boggles my mind.

Time really flies when you are having fun.

And we are.

Sometimes it's easy...

Sometimes it's hard...

But most of the times...

We are in Love!!!

I LOVE you Mr. Pancakes from the moon and back!!!

Again and again!!!

And here is the Recipe for Love we try to make daily

 with a sprinkling of God's Favor!!!

Blogging & Sleeping Blues

Yesterday I was definitely on a high and I still am

 but lately I've been feeling the Blogging & Sleeping Blues.

I want to blog more, I want to read more blogs...

I want to sleep more, I want to sleep more...

I want to blog the way I did before I had a baby 

and I know i can't and shouldn't even wish for that...

But sometimes I really miss blogging like I used to....

But then again I miss being able to sleep the way I used to...

I miss sleeping in on Saturday...

I miss cuddling up to my husband for hours at a time...

I miss spontaneous hanky panky...

(well that kind of happens sparingly..TMI, i know!)

In many ways I have accepted my new role as mom 

and I LOVE it but sometimes just sometimes...

I want to be able to blog and sleep a little longer...

I am in awe of mothers that are able to write thought provoking blogs 

and read other people's blogs at the same time...

And look refreshed and awake doing so...

Most nights I can't even find the time to wash his bottles because 

although Baby Pancakes is crawling, standing and moving around the house...

he still needs to have me close to him.

We've tried the playpen and he HATE it

 because it contains him and my baby will not be contained....

I am thinking I need to be mean-mommy and just let him cry....

But of course he has mastered crying in decibels...

he starts off real low and then if we don't get to him in time...

he takes it up a few more decibels...

That child of mine...I LOVE him but sometimes just sometimes...

I am feeling guilty as I write this because I know I am blessed 

but I felt like being honest with myself today....

Motherhood is everything I thought it would be and so much more....

I knew I would miss blogging but not this much...

I knew I would miss sleeping but not this much...

I knew I would miss having couple time but not this much...

I knew I would LOVE this little boy but not this much!

When it's all said and done...blogging & sleeping blues aside...

Most times I wouldn't have any other life but this one!!!

****************************************

Thank you all for sticking around and reading while 

I find my way back to getting enough sleep to blog again!!

I appreciate it more than you will ever know!!!

Question of the Day:

Do you have any blues you wanna share?

Monday High...

Source: lovelyladies.org via Beth on Pinterest

Mondays have never been my favorite day 

but this Monday I am feeling great...I am on a Monday High...

My recovery day yesterday was awesome

 and today I can actually move around a little more...

which is great because last year my recovery time took really really long.

There are many things I am feeling grateful today for...

You know some days life just feels a lot sweeter than others....

When nothing can ruin your day...not even an early morning...

When everything feels awesome and great...

During my half marathon...I realized after 12miles that

 "there is nothing that is impossible." 

Crossing the finishing line to my baby and hubby reminded me

 "life is beautiful because of who i get to share it with."

Seeing my baby boy smile melts my heart every single time.

Watching him stand tall against the couch and

figuring out if his legs are sturdy enough for him to take a step...is a magical time.  

These moments remind me just how special these moments truly are....

and how fleeting time is...

And how I am enjoying and savoring every single second.

My husband giving me a high five after the race reminded me what a team we are.

Him reminding me to drink more water and move 

around to get the blood in my legs circulating....tells me how much he loves me.

Seeing him smile at me through the corner of my eyes makes me know how proud he is.

And it's even better when he says:

 "you are my super woman and I am so proud."

Life is definitely sweet today....

and I can definitely get used to this Monday High all week!

Question of the Day:

What makes your Monday High?

Longlazysunday: Week 19

Longlazysunday is all about recovery. The half marathon yesterday was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I was definitely more in shape last year while pregnant than now but I crossed the finish line just under four hours!!! Not bad for someone that did not train at all. The only thing different this year is that my recovery is coming along a lot faster than last year. I did feel like a ton truck hit me after the race but at least I can move around a little bit more today. Baby Pancakes is definitely taking an advantage of my slow movements by getting into trouble around the house. What are you up to this longlazysunday??

Sean + Catherine

I watched the Bachelor from the beginning and I haven't done that since Trista and Ryan. And just like I was invested in the success of those two, I am equally invested in Sean and Catherine. Here's to hoping they were really looking for love and not just fame and fortune! Who doesn't love a good love story. They had me crying yesterday during the proposal...so sweet. Love is truly grand when you find the one!!

Healthy Monday

I am in a wedding and i tried my bridesmaid dress on this weekend and the dress does not fit. The store no longer has the size I need, which leaves me less than two weeks to fit into the dress. Therefore, I need to make healthy food and exercise choices for the next two weeks which if you've been following along on my #ProjectMilf journey, Ive been struggling but I am determined. Making healthy choices is a great thing to do on a Monday!! What are your healthy choices today?

Longlazysunday: Week 18

This longlazysunday it's all about spending time doing a little shopping with little man as my companion. And thank goodness for elevators because there is something scary about taking the escalator with a stroller and a baby by yourself. i know many people do it everyday...call me chicken but it just seems so dangerous! On a happier note, Baby Pancakes has been having fun at the mall...enjoying the sights and sounds and I feel blessed enjoying this longlazysunday with my son! What are you up to this longlazysunday?

Snow Day...

Good Morning...
The perks of working at a school...

Just found out there is a snow day...

Woohoo No School...

Growing up in Canada, even when there was a feet of snow

we would be going to school but that doesn't mean i do not LOVE a good snow day.

So this morning...I am going to cuddle in a little bit more,

maybe drink some hot chocolate and relax...

well at least until Baby Pancakes wakes up. 

Maybe we will go out and play in the snow.
It makes getting up in the mornings all the worthwhile...almost!!

If you have snow in your area today...be safe!

If you have a snow day...enjoy!

If you are working today...have an awesome day too.

Longlazysunday: Week 17

Week 17 of our Longlazysunday is all about sharing time in the car today visiting family and friends. We had some exciting things happen this morning where we locked ourselves out of the car but we are fine...thank God for road side assistance....if you don't have it get it...it's a life saver. Anyway currently in the car sharing a good read with Baby Pancakes...how are you spending your longlazysunday?

Health Insurance...

Sometimes there is no telling when something is going to become important to you until it happens.  I am talking health insurance.  Since having a baby some things are more important than others.  And that is definitely one of the things that is very important to me.

Since I changed jobs, my insurance has yet to kick in. And honestly i had no idea that my previous insurance would only be active until the end of the month.  My current insurance will take a month to kick in and of course I didn't want to do Cobra because it's too expensive.  I wish someone would have told me this before I changed jobs. Just the idea that I could be without insurance in this country scares the crap out of me even if its only for a short period of time.  For some reason when you begin a new job, insurance should kick in right away. I'm just saying that would make more sense especially if you have children.  One of the things I should have done before changing jobs were all my doctors’ appointments including dental like the good folks at TMJ dental Carmel IN. Of course everything is always 20/20 in hindsight….if I had known what I know now….i would have done things differently.  That’s the lesson of the day ladies and gents.  Learn from my mistake and always make sure you have health insurance.
