The Confessional

Happy Hump Day this and thatters!!  I hope your day and week are going swimmingly.  I hope you enjoy this edition of The Confessional.

1.  So I really gotta get it together and start eating better.  I feel like I've been eating on the go and just eating whatever I can get my hands on.  Ha!  I feel so much better when I eat healthy so I need to get on it.  I know people who have done Whole 30 but I'm not sure I have the discipline to do that.  Has anyone tried it?  Thoughts?
2.  I'm really ready for summer!  I need some serious pool and outdoor time.  I also feel like swimming wears my kiddos out like nothing else and everyone sleeps a ton better.  This will be the first year Olivia can really enjoy the pool and ocean and I can't wait to see her reaction.  She's pretty fearless so I'm sure she will dive right in (pun intended).  I'm signing Em up for swim lessons and I'm excited/nervous to see how that goes.  Anyone have any advice?

 3.  My birthday is coming up and I don't know how I am going to be 37!!!  Lordy I feel like time is flying.  I remember turning 27 like it was yesterday and honestly most days I feel 27 on the inside, ha!  
4.  I decided last week that this was going to be an amazing summer for me and my fam!  I told Matt for me this summer is gonna be all about self-acceptance and me not being so hard on myself, forgiveness and letting go.  I feel like putting it out in the universe makes it all real!  

 5.  It hit me the other day when I was feeling tired and overwhelmed how lucky I am.  I honestly have everything I've ever prayed for I realized in that moment and it instantly changed my perspective.  Sometimes I forget how amazingly blessed I am and I forget to celebrate that!  I forget to tell God way to go and thank you :)  I get worried about the little things that seem so important (and maybe they are) but I don't ever want to forget how incredibly awesome life is and what an incredible gift it is.  I don't want to take it for granted anymore, I want to relish it!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleed...

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started c...

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurr...
