1. I'm loving that the Holidays are right around the corner. Can I just say that having a big family makes it SO much more fun! We do all the things. Whatever the things are...we do them and try to do them all. I kind of drive myself crazy but I'm the mom and deep down I live for it. So when can I decorate for Christmas?? (Plus, I have a cute Christmas card idea ; )
2. I had my book club meeting last night and I recommend you check out the book "For the Love" by Jen Hatmaker and if you have a book to recommend for a church women's group then leave me a message in the comments.
One of my favorite quotes from her book was "I say the couple that embarrasses their children together has a 100% chance of making it." The other day, Patrick and I totally messed with the kids with the popularized "We ate all your Halloween candy scenario." I've seen some other facebook friends do it too since then. It is harmless fun but I think that is what I love most about our little family. We have fun and we do what we want and we love to just spend time together. Patrick and I definitely see the type of parents we DON'T want to be so it helps us to be who want to be as parents in the long run. I think those who overact and tend to put this endless pressure on parenting end up missing out on the beauty of it all.
Another big thing we discussed last night was being in the moment. This is huge. I am guilty of not being in the moment with my kids or in situations because I'm thinking of my to do list. However, I do try to make every effort to be present as much as I can in whatever I'm doing at that moment. If you don't, you miss out on a lot and you aren't truly living and never doing anything 100%!
I had the absolute best time with the ladies. It really is good for my soul. We laughed all night about our quirks and marriages and our crazy kiddos. I even shared that I wear two men's deodorants every day because I can't stand to smell and I felt that after kids my hormones made it horrible to use any women's deodorants. (Legit I went to a doctor, I got prescription, I bought organic, I would by the MOST expensive ones.) Needless to say, I'M NOT the only woman with this issue and apparently wearing Old Spice Men's deodorant is what the young girls are doing. (What!!!! I'm in the know and I didn't know!!) So I add that with my Men's Gillette Gel. I do what I do.
I will formulate this and sell it. All the cool girls are doing it!
I love women who KEEPS IT REAL!
3. I'm all into make-up and skin-care. This week, I am digging the MicroPeel Facial. OMG! Life changing! I will definitely be getting more of those! You only get one face ladies!!! Plus, I had to get all this off my face...whoa!
4. I met with my trainer this morning. SO GOOD! My legs are so heavy I can barely walk. I think I impressed him so totes to me. I do want to go get new workout clothes. I can never have enough!!!
5. Million Dollar Spray Tan out of Charlotte came to my house this week and sprayed me. A spray tan is a game changer. I love a spray tan about 3 days after. It always looks so good and you have a nice glow! I WISH I could get them more!!
Well that is all for this week!! Bring it on weekend!!!!!
