Xmas

Well we have survived the first 3 of 4. I haven't gotten in yoga or a workout in days though. I am going to do some planning for 2015 though.  Set goals and then check in to see if I'm meeting them! Simple goals and big goals! Life and business goals! 

2014 has been a year full of blessings, many of which I have to work really hard to find through the muck in my head. 2014 has been really hard and sad. I'm determined to make 2015 a good year. No, a great year! I'm working on savorinf the pleasure in things, because my cynical self can just pass right by the joys. Retraining my brain! So you can help by pointing out the lovely things! Beautiful sunset, really good coffee, kids being kids. You know, the good stuff. 

Thank you to everyone for your support in 2014! 

Thank you to everyone for your generosity this holiday season. As stressed out as I get, I have enjoyed getting to spend time with all!

I'm sick :(  Z was sick :(   full of goo.  Yuck!

I have been in bed a lot in the last few days.  Naps have been taken 3 days in a row!  Grateful for help and babysitters.  Grateful Z is feeling better, and sleeping better.  Doing little bits of yoga here and there.  Can't do anything upside down or I feel like my head is going to explode.

So sad and full of goo :(

sick baby, reading.

I got to the gym today!  As usual, it felt great.

Progress!  We have walls!  We went out this weekend to go take a look!  So freakin cool!

happy family!

ugg... formatting pictures on webpages is tricky...

can you find ZOG?

Nutshell!

Christmas time!

We went to go see Nutshell at Silvio's on Friday.  Paige watched ZOG, so we got to go out on a date!  The pizza was amazing, and the entertainment was great!

Packages are arriving all the time!  Christmas is coming! and frankly, I find it way more stressful than fun, but I'm trying to stay positive!  There is a lot less shopping that we have to do this year, so that's cool!

Before

After!  So yummy!!

 I made really really good soup!  Inspired by soup that was brought to me when I was newly postpartum.  I have been craving this sausage and kale soup ever since.  I wasn't quite the same, but it was delicious!

 Z and I being silly!  He's so much fun!  Super silly and has a great sense of humor.  He can pick up a sign a day, and conversation is getting easier.  He is also opinionated, and into testing limits right now.  There have been more than a few all out tantrums over things like - Being Offered A Banana, and Not Being Allowed to Crawl Forward Down the Stairs.

 I've been much better at exercise over the past 2 weeks, I have done 30-60 minutes of of yoga at least every other day.  The gym has been eluding me, but I'll get there soon!  I will!

Volleyball is over for now, so my Thursday nights are free again.

I did a December yoga challenge, hence the numbers over the poses.  I'm seeing progress in so many of my poses.  It's pretty neat to watch the progress.  



I also got to attend my first birth back as Sacred Roots Services this weekend.  While I attended several births this year, they were either as SEM, or as repeat clients.

It was a long birth, but it was so wonderful to back in that supporting role as a new family emerged!  So Great!

Well hello!

Alright, had a little relapse in my brain training... Going to get back on the horse here though. If you're subscribed, let me know, and I'll take you off the mailing list. 

I'm making plans, getting out of the house, and taking my supplements.  My depression has resurfaced in a big way before thanksgiving, so I'm climbing out of a little (big) hole right now. Trying to stay busy.

What a feast!

Playing with Brio Trains at my aunts house

Hands-On Museum!  Z Loved it!
