This and That

4 Jan

I am now a blonde.

I am a tired girl.
2011 so far has been good…as one of my million resolutions I said I was going to hang out with other moms more and so far I have twice! (well one was on New Year’s Eve day but still)
I am already setting plans in motion for Neely’s 1st birthday party…it’s SO CLOSE! I hope I can make it exactly the way I want!
Neely is still cute:

Brett and I are still over the moon for each other:

I still live in the most amazing city:

(I made that tiny in case someone wants to steal it)
I still haven’t painted a thing.
I still am trying to keep my house clean.
Brett and I have been eating only fruits,veggies, nuts and whole grains for the past 3 days.
It’s expensive and I don’t like cooking 3 times a day so we’ll see how long it lasts.
If I lose weight then I’ll do it for a while…but it made me realize how easy eating healthfully really is. People act like it’s impossible but it’s really simple. Don’t eat anything from a box. Don’t eat dairy, don’t drink anything but water (and coffee).
Simple.
There are a million recipes that make it easy, you just have to plan EVERY SINGLE MEAL. And that is where I have had a problem. We plan a day and then tomorrow comes and we’re like “Oh yeah. We have to eat again. Crap.”
This song has been in my head ALL day. This version and everything. I love this song SO much:

That’s all for now. I’m going to try to put Neely down for the night. She suddenly has been waking SEVERAL times per night and wakes up and criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies her face off at 4:30am. I have eye bags. Grrrr.

    Yeah, I am trying the healthy way of life more often now. As for the bags, get used to those :). I have to start planning Ocean’s big day, a lot of details :(
    You will get your groove back sometimes in waves and then you are lost again when the chaos hits u.

    Just so you know… you CAN eat fruits and veggies raw… then you don’t have to cook :) We are doing this too… let me know how it is going for you. xo

      I know but it seems more filling to cook them! Plus I’ve been following recipes and they all call for cooking this and that. I eat raw fruit for breakfast but I still have to chop them up!

    First off, love the blonde hair! Second, I’m curious about this new diet. How can you give up cheese?? (of course I gave it up when Ryan had a milk allergy, but still. I love cheese)

      Thanks!! And it’s only for a week to start with…it actually is pretty easy. I’m not a cheese addict though lol!!

    good job on the healthy eating! I totally know the feeling of “oh yeah I have to eat again. crap!” Planning is so so so important and i go through spurts of being really good at it and then really sucking at it. Hope you can stick with it and be all hot (but you already are :)

    and neely is DEFINITELY still cute :D
