Back To Normal

Wednesday, July 2, 2014

My sweet girl is finally home! These past 5 weeks have dragged. I remember when she was two and I only had to share her for two weeks and it felt like an eternity. 

Last night we stayed up late and waited for dad to get home and she had a million and one stories to tell us about her trip with her dad. Foster missed her more that words can say, he was sleeping when I picked her up and she was whispering to me and immediately those little eyes popped open and he yelled, "SISSY!!!" 

I get in a very down mood whenever Lo goes away for so long and Foster has been sooooo naughty so it really didn't help anything that anytime we were alone together he was screaming at the top of his lungs (whether I was holding him or not). I thought when Lo got back that he would quit that...I was wrong. He is still being very fussy but hopefully in a couple of days everything really is 

back to normal.

So You Wanna Start a Juice Fast...

Monday, June 16, 2014


Juicing is obviously huge right now and there are a lot of reasons why so many people have jumped on board the juice train (if you've been following me for awhile swap juice train with The Juice Bus ;) ) Juicing gives your body a much needed break from using energy to break down food and send that energy straight to you to use. I also have to say I absolutely loathe the word fast. In our house we  call it a juice cleanse but it is commonly referred to as a juice feast because, if you are fasting properly, you should never feel a hungry sensation. 

Here are some of the main reasons why I, personally, juice feast:

* To give my digestive system a break
* Allow the body to cleanse waste and toxins a greatly accelerated speed
* To learn that missing a meal isn't the worst thing in the world 
* To experience how energizing nourishing foods are - rather than filling foods
* To reestablish your gratitude for food
* Save money and time from prepping 
* To gain control over food, rather than food controlling you
* Weight-loss

What I {ATE} Wednesday

Wednesday, June 11, 2014



I've been deciding whether or not to start this new post series call What I Wednesday. I'll post what I {LOVE} {ATE} {WORE} and who knows what else! I thought first I'd just go over a quick day of what I normally eat. 

I eat anywhere from 800-1500 calls a day and some days are freakin killer and others could use some work but I enjoy food and I'd rather eat good food and be happy than dry salad and be that person. 
You can't even pretend to like dry salad.
It's gross. 


I always start off my morning with some type of juice. It's normally very green but sometimes I like to mix it up with a little more fruit. 

The Problems with Blogging {A Little Life Lately}

Monday, June 9, 2014


As of late I have been MIA because of a major computer malfunction. Long story short I thought I lost all of my pictures (and all of my clients pictures) and I thought my new computer was fried. Thankfully it was able to get restored and my cousin was able to get all 221 GB of data off of my computer. So let's get to the problems with blogging. 

Foster Brady: 10 Month Update

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Hello all! I'm sorry I have been so distant lately but my computer is in the shop and I have been stressed beyond belief lately. But it's looking like it'll be fixed soon so here's another phone post :) 


Age: 10 Months 
Height: 27.5 inches
Weight: 22.6 lbs 
Milestones: He's still working on walking and this month he's gotten even more active (I didn't know it was possible. He absolutely loves going outside and he'll crawl/run to the back door and yell, "PUPPY!!!" Until we go outside. 
Best Moment:  He does this thing we call Sweet Baby where he lays his head on you and cuddles. It normally means that he did something naughty or he's going to do something naughty. 
Health: Perfect :) it's crazy to me that it's time to start planning his first birthday! 
Eating: We are still trucking on with breast feeding, with no signs of quitting in the neat future. When he's with other people he will hardly drink from a bottle so he eats really well but when I'm home hrs constantly latched on. 
Teeth: 7 teeth for this big boy. 3 on top and 4 on the bottom. 
Extra Comments: He's getting so big and he has been a blast. He is sooooo different from Lo and I love his naughty little personality. He's been a big mommas boy lately and I can't say that I mind :) 

Foster Brady: 9 month update

Thursday, May 15, 2014


So this post is a little late but we've had so many incredible memories this month that I figured late was better than never. Foster had a doctors appointment the day before his nine month birthday so I'll go ahead and use all of those measurements :) 


Age: 9 Months 
Height: 29 inches 75%
Weight: 19 lbs 8 oz 50%
Milestones: He can say a lot of words like momma, dada, papa, puppy, sis and it's up in the air if he said dacy (his aunt). He also has teeth galore, can skoot on a skateboard, WALKED 5 steps and can stand forever. This month his personality is really showing. He loves being a trickster and will hide and scare you. He is also showing me that he is trouble! This is only one of his recent escapades but he flips over his toy basket, pushes it to the couch and climbs up. The only problem is he hasn't quite been able to figure out how to get down so he just rolls off. This boy is crazy! He is always bruised! 
Best Moment:  So many great moments but a couple of my favorites are him wrestling with sister, it is absolutely hilarious and riding bikes with this adventurous boy. He loves riding bikes whether it's in the trailer or on his own bike. He also does this bratty thing where he'll do something naughty and then smile really big and claps. Oh! And he's biting- definitely NOT a best moment. 
Health: Great! He's growing so big and it's crazy how much he's changed this month! 
Eating: We are still exclusively breast feeding! He can eat regular food but he really prefers milk. We'll give him anything we eat for dinner but normally it end up on the ground. One thing he loves is drinking out of cups! 
Teeth: 5 teeth! Two on top and three on the bottom. They are so funny and spread out. I love it :) 
Extra Comments: The another month has came and gone and I can't believe how big he is! (This post is so late he's almost 10 months!) He is so wild and rough! I can't believe it's time to start planning his first birthday! (I promise I won't cry) ((I totally will)) 










Seriously, there is nothing funnier than them wrestling 














Brunette to Ashy Blonde

Sunday, May 11, 2014


Hey ladies! If you follow any of my Facebook sites or instagram then you probably notice I had a big makeover a couple of days ago. My gorgeous Shey brought my hair back to a fun summer color. I have changed my hair color a million times and have always gone back to the same boring blonde, NOT THIS TIME! This time I was really excited to do something different and I think that I'll definitely be keeping this color for a LONG time. 

Easy Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Saturday, May 10, 2014


So I think we can all see why I wear makeup every single day. Beware, that face jumps out at you in the video before you have time to prepare yourself for what is about to happen. 

I have never considered myself an expert in makeup but I do know what works for my face shape and I know I like to keep it natural looking 99% of the time. With so many incredible makeup artists out there I was super flattered that you all wanted to see what I do for my daily makeup. 

I own no fancy brushes and I buy makeup every 2ish years. 
I haven't bought a new eyeshadow in 4+ years and so far it's worked pretty good for me! I used to sell makeup for Arbonne so I am pretty stocked up on eyeshadows and lipsticks haha but the rest of the stuff I pick up at Target/the grocery store and I do like Bare Minerals. 

This video is kind of long for something that literally takes me 5 minutes but I tried you guys haha 

If you like my makeup tutorial and want to see more videos be sure to subscribe, like and comment with what you'd like to see next! 


Beer Yoga

Wednesday, May 7, 2014


So this week I discovered probably the coolest thing ever to grace the yoga community, and that is beer yoga. The best thing about it (besides alcohol and yoga) is that it's at a brewery so it's not crap beer, it's super delicious microbrew. Mix that with some awesome people and you have a new weekly tradition for me. This class was so awesome and a really tough workout! It's DDP (I think, don't quote me on that) yoga and it's really hard. We worked legs and my butt was burning by the end!

Calling All YouTubers!

Thursday, May 1, 2014


Hey all. 

I have a confession.

I'm addicted to YouTube. 

I know what you're thinking, who isn't!? 

You may have notice the low quality vidoes I've been putting up that are obviously from my phone. They are just super simple videos that I have been trying my hardest to take (which is crazy embarrassing because I have a nice camera that takes bomb videos). I love looking back on photos from when Lo was small but you know what brings this momma to tears? 

The videos of her saying monkey, or dropping her first puppy because he was "hebby". 

So this brings me to the post, I need help! 

I really have no idea what to do to make  1) an interesting video 2) what people would even want to see 3) any advice! 

I don't plan on just doing videos but I thought it would be fun to add them to my day in the life posts or just random posts. 

So what do you guys like/don't like in a youtube video? 

I think my main question is, WOULD ANY OF YOU EVEN WATCH IT?
