Loving the person I've worked hard to become...

I've been working out 3 times a week for several months now and although I've limited my drinking I haven't changed my eating habits much. In a few short weeks I'll be FORTY years old! I'm not where I wanna be and honestly I don't know if I'll ever get there. I do know I want to LIVE, not just another 40 years but decades more of healthy fulfilling years. There are so many places I wanna see and so many things I still want to do.

So instead of losing 20-30lbs before my birthday (as I had hoped last year), I'm making a commitment to KEEP AT IT. Self care should be a part of life, not as a task, but more like a routine. I know my future self will thank me later!

Our boy finally has a voice! We hit a  monumentous moment yesterday, captured by his Mommy  and Tia and I can't stop  watching it. Munchkin is 3.5 years old and has pretty much been nonverbal apart  from a handful of words. My girl has been putting so much effort into getting him  up to speed and in a comfortable position before he starts kindergarten. He has  been seeing a speech therapist twice a week for nearly a year and is now  additionally enrolled in a half day program focusing on speech therapy.  This  simple moment of his tiny little voice vocalizing his first short but full sentence "I WANT MORE", made my heart burst instantly. Good  job Little One, your Lolli eagerly awaits your endless voice and thousands of questions!

We've finally made it to July which means we're halfway through 2020!  It doesn't even feel like the year has started for me as I've spent most of my time quarantined sitting at this very desk I type at right now. I haven't posted to my blog in a while because I feel like I have nothing to share, everyday is the same. Although, I am still thankful and blessed it feels very much like my life is on repeat. I have been lucky enough to see my immediate family members including visits from my parents, son, and in-laws. I have my husband, girls, and grandson here to love and gather support almost daily. We've even had a few limited friends over for small gatherings. For that I am thankful for. So much has happened in the last few months, it's become overwhelming and I have plenty of mixed emotions about it all.  Work Life While we've spent many quarantine hours in the pool, I've spent even more at my desk working from home. I know there are people who have...

Just had my 1st # mammogram !  Top 3 reasons I didn't think twice: 1. I'm 40 years old, my risk are higher. 2. Breast cancer runs in my family history. 3. I'm a mother of two daughters and an older sister, its my duty to lead by example. My experience: 1. It didn't hurt, but it wasn't pleasant.  2. It took a whopping 15 minutes.  3. My boobs are bigger than I thought.
