Last One of the Day

This was just too good not to post.  My mom's freaky cat.

4th of July toes!

July

I've created a grueling schedule for myself for the month of July.  A busy work schedule including working 2 Saturdays, Jake has vacation bible school that he'll need to be dropped off to & picked up for an entire week, & Logan's 1st birthday is smack dab in the middle of all that.  You may not hear much from me during all of that...I'll try not to forget to blog much lol.

Loving Myself

I read a blog today about a girls weight loss journey & I found it extremely sad.  I don't mean to say that I'm never trying to lose weight or anything along those lines because I will be the first one to tell you I'd love to lose about another 10lbs or so, but I'm not going to kill myself to do it.  I don't consider myself over weight & ultimately if I don't ever lose those last pounds I'm ok with that.  I've got a bit of a stomach that I would be thrilled if it went away, but I can't hate it because I carried my two beautiful children in it & yea I may never fit into skinny jeans or a bikini again but my kids were totally worth it.  I hope that girl (I don't know her age, but she seemed rather young) finds a way to love herself the way she is & while I don't have a daughter (2 boys here) I hope that by loving myself the way I am & striving to live a HEALTHY lifestyle I can inspire other young girls to love themselves as well.  I think of my cousin who hasn't hit the pre-teens yet & how perfectly built she is...I hope she grows up to love herself the way she is.  I hope my boys love themselves as well, but we all know there is generally less pressure for boys than girls.  I hope that my husband & my strives to live healthy pass along to them.  We're by no means a fruit & veggies only family, but we're definitely on the right path.
