Gotta get back on track

In laying in bed wide awake while my husband and baby sleep the night away. I'm jealous. Maybe my insomnia has something to do with the 2 naps I took with my baby today. I didn't feel the greatest today and was nursing a headache, so I succumbed to the temptation of napping. You would too if you had this cozy little angel nursing all snuggled up against you. 



Lately I've let a few things back into my diet that aren't that great. Like sugar. Even though it is pure grade b maple sugar or raw unfiltered honey, it is still sugar. Also those delicious little Justin's dark chocolate peanut butter cups. 

I used to get headaches a lot but since I drastically changed my diet and quit coffee a couple years ago my headaches disappeared. They are back. I'm not quite ready to quit the coffe drinking. I still have a baby who doesn't sleep through the night but needs a mama who isn't dead tired. 

I  going to try to cut out my sugar intake again and see if that will help. I of course will have a piece of paleo pumpkin pie on thanksgiving and it will have some maple syrup in it, but it will be a treat. And that's how it should be. 

Sugar should be an every once in a while treat, not an everyday in my coffee or sneaking a g free cookie when my baby isn't watching kind of thing. 


That's it for now!! Hopefully I can sleep!

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte
