WHITE FANG!

It's been a loooong time coming (she's been teething since two months) and on Friday one finally emerged! (A day after her six month mark) It's hard to see but here's some shots!




(Oh and there is currently another that should pop up by tomorrow- I wouldn't be surprised if she got a bunch of teeth popping up at once!)

Double Take...

Here are my cute nephews and darling neice. My awesome sis Jen got the girls matching Easter dresses...they are so dang cute! Love you!

St. George Road Trip!!!!!

*Disclaimer- I hope this doesn't hinder anyone wanting to see me but I will be minus a hubby and a baby...just me...sorry:(

What now?

I went to the coupon class- it made sense to me at the time. I am now looking at my two Sunday papers and the info I have from class and am wondering WHAT NOW? It is all Greek to me- ok,not even Greek, I'm going to say it may as well be written in Chinese. Help. What do I do? I am forgetting what I need to do to hone my couponing skills- what's next? I am currently staring at two Sunday papers and a blank expression on my face...

I need help from a coupon guru- I am totally lost right now...HELP!

Montessori Monday...

I am excited to see how people are EAGER to learn about the Montessori method! I feel as though I am being used as an instrument to educate people in understanding how children process the world. In understanding this process,we as adults and teachers set the tone of the environment to respond to the child in a positive way.

I am currently ordering Montessori materials for my classroo and it is invigorating (and expensive). I am so excited to teach again, I am excited to provide a safe, secure, and intellectually stimulating enviornment for young minds to explore and absorb all the knowledge around them. I am grateful I was able to train with the best Montessori traning center in the country. I am grateful for teaching at a high standard for four years. I am now ready to bring this amazing method of teaching to more children, and enrich thier lives.

I am feeling amazing right now, that I can provide this opportunity to other children and spread my talent and knowledge to others to enrich thier lives. It is extremly rewarding. Enrollment is filling up, but there are a few spots still available for part-time and full-time. I cannot wait to begin the new school year.

It's a bird...It's a plane..it's Wonder Baby!

Wonder baby sucking her fingers- a trademark!

Wonder Baby soaring with the birds...

Wonder baby with her cape (bib) on backwards...

There is no stopping Wonder Baby! What adventures will she encounter next?
*NOTE:Ryan bought this Wonder Woman onesie for her a year ago, before we even knew we were having a girl- it was the first thing he bought for her- and he surprised me with it when he came home from a trip to Six Flags... so sweet!

AHHH swimsuit season...the bikini does not lie...

It's no surprise that swinsuit season is right around the corner. Last season, I was 6-8 months preggers and sported a cute, non-maternity swinsuit from Modbe. It was excellent because it was as figure flattering as pregnant person could expect and was cute, comfortable ect.



Well, I have been busting my butt and I am now back to pre-pregnancy body- hoora-wait. I was trying to lose 20 lbs BEFORE I became pregnant. Uh oh- and now I have a very well-stretched out tummy to tone up on top of it- thanks for weighing ten lbs Hailyn- Ugh.



It was so much easier working out when I was already 'in shape'. I walked everywhere on campus, I got college credit for working out-yeah, and I had no money to buy food. Now, I have the stress that comes with adulthood- a stupid mortgage, launching a school and finishing my book in addition to raising my daughter and taking care of my husband- no sweat- it's a wlak in the park! ha!



So I'm not going to sugar coat it. I could make excuses as to why I'm not in my beach bod mode- but I'm not going to- I've lost thirty lbs already- la de da- I now need to lose the last twenty and tone up my belly. It must be done. There's no sweet way of ignoring it- the bikini does not lie...



With that being said- I despise working out-I'm not going to tell you how fun it is- it's essential-that's all it is for me right now. Maybe I'll break into the 'fun phase' later on but for now, it sucks- when I was in shape it was annoying to do but bearable. Now I just loathe it-but I am committed to doing SOMETHING every day.

We'll see how that goes...
