Lately....

Lately I find myself a little bummed 

because I can't catch up on all your blogs as much as I want to...

I want to read and comment at my leisure but life gets so busy....

I miss my leisure time....

But then I remember my time is no longer mine 

and I have responsibilities that are bigger than myself...

I look at my son sometimes and I am taken aback by the fact that he needs me....

Without me (and of course Mr. Pancakes) he cannot do for himself...

And he is so tiny still...I want to be his everything because this time passes too quickly...

Lately I find myself starring loving into my son's eyes and thinking I could have ten more of him...

Then reality hits and he needs my full undivided attention....

Lately I find myself wanting to snuggle in closer to my husband in the mornings....

Surrounded by love that is stronger every. single. day.

Lately I find myself wanting to take care of me more...

Exercising has become part of my normal routine...and the eating is getting there too...

And #ProjectMilf is becoming something that I am proud to be part of..

And hope will awaken a sleeping lioness that lies in all of us....

To make small and big changes in our lives for a lifetime...

Lately, life is moving too quickly and I want to slow it down just a little bit...

But then I am reminded that time is the only constant thing in life...

And I am comforted that the world is unfolding exactly as it should.

Question of the Day:

Lately, what do you find yourself feeling and thinking?

Lately...What Are You Eating?

What are you eating lately?

I've been trying to be more conscientious of what i have been eating as of late...

because according to my doctors and nurses, the types and amount of foods we consume 

on a regular basis can be pretty horrendous.  

At least the bad carbs and sugars of the food groups.

Did you know we are only supposed to eat one spoonful of rice per serving?

Huh? What? Come Again?

I thought that was pretty crazy too!!  

Especially because i LOVE rice and spaghetti.

But i digress because this post is NOT about the horrendous-ness of consuming food!  

It is about the enjoyment of it. 

Because lately i have started to have a love/hate relationship with food 

because i cannot eat it the way i want for fear it may not be good 

for my body and hence the baby. 

Therefore, I thought i would share some of the foods 

Team Pancakes and friends have been consuming 

because food can and should be pleasurable at times!!

Oh and imagine a food post on the Adventures of Team Pancakes without pancakes...

it's true...

no pancakes were made (harmed or eaten) for this post :-) 

 Have an awesome Tuesday but before you go...

Question of the Day:

What have you been eating lately?

Lately I Find Myself...

Lately I find myself wondering if my sh*t stinks...
Why don't I receive as many comments anymore?

I knew it would happen but it really stinks.

Lately it doesn't bother me as much I thought it would that i don't get as many comments.

Comments don't make my blogging experience...my experiences makes my blogging.

Lately I have been wondering what does it mean to have a successful blog...

Does it have anything to do with validating our popularity in blogland?

Or are we all addicted to the validation we receive from our peers?

Or do we just like the encouragement and support from our peers?

Which comes in the form of comments!

Lately I've felt a little sad because some blogger friends are not 

blogging anymore or as much because of the pressures of life and or pressures of blogging--

that makes me a little sad because you become attached to people and their lives...

Blogging should always be fun and something you do for yourself and NOT anyone else...

Lately I've been wondering about blogging...

Lots and lots of different thoughts!

Lately I find myself continuing to enjoy blogging
because it's fun and a creative outlet for me!
