TOPSHOP BODYSUIT / TOPSHOP JEANS / SAM EDELMAN BOOTIES (CUTE HERE & HERE) / FRENCH CONNECTION BAG / WINDSOR CHOKER

Thoughts for the day. This is what I have been thinking about lately.

Some people think that if they get skinnier and leaner, and stronger muscles, that working out is going to be so much easier. 

Well, that isn’t the case.  Here is what I mean.

Working out never gets easier, you just get stronger as you do it.

You’re always constantly pushing yourself to work harder and harder, better than you did yesterday, better than you did last week.

It is never ending.  I constantly am having to push myself harder and getting myself to the gym doesn’t get any easier.  It hurts.  It hurts every single time, but you know what?  You learn how to bear that pain.

You get better at bearing the pain because you work hard every day.

It doesn’t just go with working out either.  This goes for everything in life.

There is no easy way to get somewhere thats worth it, and when you get there it never gets easier per say, you just get better and stronger.

Life is always throwing different curve balls.  That is so cliche to say, but it is true.

Another example, is when I started my blog, I hadn’t a clue what I was doing. Not one clue.

I didn’t know how to even write a post, or link anything, or take photos.  But I just learned as I went, and got better and better every year.

Learning from my fellow bloggers, learning from the internet, getting inspired by others.

Thats not to say I am perfect whatsoever, because that isn’t what I mean at all. FAR from it.

Just an example as to where my point is going.  

We all are striving to be better and better, but don’t think that life will get easier once you get to a certain point.  Because you will feel unfulfilled every time.

Fulfillment, is going to make you the happiest with any thing.  Being grateful for what you have and what you have overcome.

Life is hard, and we all do hard things.  Make sure that you are taking a step back and looking at yourself  and realizing this.

If you haven’t folded that 2 week laundry in 2 weeks and you FINALLY do.  Hell, thats freaking awesome.  

Give yourself credit and you will eventually look at life so differently.  when you start feeling fulfilled when you do something you’ve needed to do, or do something you’ve been wanting for weeks, days, years, or even hours.

Anyways, before I keep blabbing more.  Just wanted to share those thoughts with you.

You’re all beautiful and amazing.  Hope you have a great week!

BE IN THE MOMENT

WINDSOR TOP / HUDSON JEANS / ZARA BOOTS (CUTE HERE AND HERE AND THESE MARC FISHERS DYING TO HAVE/ CELINE SUNGLASSES / FRENCH CONNECTION BAG

Holy shit.  Marc Fisher really kills it every season.

You’ve GOT to check out his boots.  I need all of them in my life.  

I am over here plotting my next move in action, on when and how I will get those suckers.  Will my husband notice how much I am spending if there is 10 different boots showing up on my door step? 

Husband… they were gifted.. I don’t have a problem 😉 haha.  No jk.

Anyways, my baby turned 11 months yesterday.  Is this supposed to be a celebration?  I am so sad about it.  Can he stop growing?  I need a pause button.

Last month he’s under one.  

Ya know, these last 11 months and still now– I had just about everyone over 50 in the grocery stores stop me, and tell me to just enjoy every moment because they grow so quickly.  

They would then go on and tell me “their son is 25, and I don’t know how he got there”.

I would say “oh, I know I definitely am enjoying him!”  I didn’t really believe them because I thought, well geez these days sure seem long.

Now, I am here and thinking the SAME thing.  They were right.  I didn’t want to believe them.

So just enjoy it.  Every hard time and good time.  The dishes can wait, the laundry can wait.  You can’t do it all in one day.  

Enjoy the snuggles, enjoy the giggles, crawl on the ground and be so silly with your babies. 

I have learnt from Oaks over these 11 months, to be patient, very patient. To love deeply, and the biggest thing is NOT to worry.  Live in the moment.

Really though, what is worrying going to do? Cause stress, and anger.  

Worrying takes away from our happiness and takes our moments away with our babies.

Things always work out!  Life is so short, so just enjoy your family and your sweet babies!  Even if they are being pains in the butts! It doesn’t last long.

I know in 20 years I am going to miss those screams in the house, the giggles, the dirty floor, the toys scattered everywhere.

Anyways, before I rant more, just leave with this.  You are all amazing moms, and doing a great job! Live in the moment with your family.  Just BE with them.  

Have a good day!
