Day 8

I started eating healthier and doing the '30 Day Shred' so I want to keep it up, I want to do it! I had been putting it off for almost 11 months, I want to lose the weight and I want to get into a little better shape before I get pregnant again. I'm on day 2 of the shred, and it is killing me. It's so hard to sit down, stand up and walk around...omg and is it ever hard to look after Caleb all day. My advice to any mom, do the workouts while your babies are little so you don't have to chase after them while you're sore.

The eating healthy thing isn't totally eating healthy, but I am trying to make more meals at home instead of eating out so that's a start. We usually eat out 3-4 times a week! It doesn't just affect your health, but it affects your wallet too. I wonder how much money we can save by not eating out?

I also want to get pregnant this month. Steven and I both really want another baby and we want them close in age. We are both the oldest of our siblings, and the next sibling in both our families is 3 years younger then us, and we aren't close. We want Caleb and Baby Murray to be close and have that sibling bond that we didn't have growing up. We are ready to welcome another child into our family and this feeling urge that I have for another baby just won't go away. I know that it's not easy to get pregnant most of the time and the statistics say that only 25% get pregnant on the first cycle, but I am going to try REALLY hard at this...plus it's fun to do the baby dance ;)

Day 6

Ok, I will tell you, but you can't laugh at me! My favorite super hero/fictional character is Sailor Moon, well actually all of the Sailor Scouts. I love anime, it's beautiful and amazing to me. I started watching Sailor Moon when I was 10 years old, it was on YTV after school. I loved it, instantly, all my friends were into it (only one of them still is) we would pretend we were the Sailor Scouts on recess breaks, after school and on weekends. We had clothes and books, our pencils and posters were all Sailor Moon. I don't know why I still love that show so much, because it was the art that brought me in. Maybe the story? It was after all about a princess and her prince, a love story. What girl doesn't like a good love story.



I'm still waiting on someone to buy my all the season and movies for me...hint hint ;)

Day 5

Ok so I know I just posted Day 4, but again I got busy and today is really Day 5 (really it should be Day 6 because I missed a day between Day 2 and 3...I think) so I decided to get back on track and do Day 5 as well. 

Ok so here's my picture of somewhere I've been. This was in August of this year and it was out first family vacation! We went to Banff for a few days, we go every year. This is Moraine Lake, its just down? beside?...it's really close to Lake Louise they are only like a 30 min drive form each other. The water is such a beautiful colour, these pictures don't show it very well, but you can see the mountains and the shear size and awesomeness of them alone is a good enough reason to go there. If we had the money to afford to live in a national park then we would move there in a heartbeat! I can't wait to take Caleb again next year when he is older, maybe he will enjoy it more then he did this year.

Day 4

A bad habit I wish I didn't have, nail biting, I have been doing it for so long it feels like I don't have any control over it. I'm doing it right now. My nails are always uneven and really thin. I usually cut them so they at least look the same, but I don't seem to have the time and really cutting my nails is one of the last things on my list of things to do. 

Here's a picture of my uneven nails (don't mind my stubby little hands)

Day 3

This is me and my best friend Shelby, we have been best friends for almost 15 years! We don't hang out as much as we should or talk to each other a lot, but there is nothing I wouldn't do for her, she's pretty much my sister.

This is Kerry, she is awesome! We met in high school, she was dating one of my at the time boyfriends friends. We would hang out every single day. She had a car and could drive so that's all we did all night, good times. I really need to call her more.

These pictures are just over a year old, but I don't really get to hang out with my friends much anymore. I don't have a car and they live 20 minutes away. They could come out and see me, but Shelby has a job and is about to have a baby (any day now!) and Kerry has 2 kids and I'm pretty sure her life is even more hectic then mine.

Day 2

The meaning behind my blog name, well it's pretty simple. My life is hectic, I know I only have one baby, so far, and I'm a SAHM, but my life is still really busy.

Once Caleb wakes up, usually around 7am the same time as Steven I bring him upstairs make him a bottle, change his diaper and then he goes off and plays, then I tidy up and get breakfast started and make sure the coffee is ready to brew. Once Steven gets out of the shower and gets dressed, after I have to go downstairs to show him where things are (that he put away!!) I catch get Caleb and put him in his chair so we can all eat breakfast. After Steven leaves for work it settles down until lunch and then its pretty much the same thing over again minus the having to show Steven where his stuff is lol. After Steven goes back to work and Caleb goes down for his afternoon nap, which sometimes doesn't happen, is when I get super busy. I clean the whole house top to bottom and do the laundry. Just as I am about to sit down and relax Caleb wakes up so we play until Steven gets home from work and then it's supper, playtime, bath, bottle and bed for Caleb. Then I finally get to relax and watch some TV...if I don't have parties to plan or things to sew for my family, right now I'm working on stockings for my mom and some crinkle toys for my best friends soon to be born baby!


That's the meaning behind my blog name, nothing special, but it suits my life.

I know today is supposed to be Day 3, but we went to Edmonton yesterday to get mine and Steven's birthday present...an apple TV!! Now we can stream netflix and pretty much everything on our MacBook onto the TV, how awesome is that?!
