Thoughts from the Weekend

Get ready for a random, all over the place post. LOL!

It was a nice weekend to have Joe home.  We were thinking of going away for the weekend with the kids or getting out and doing something fun, but that just didn't work out. Baby boy is still feeling not quite himself and I got hit the hardest Friday.  My whole head was congested and as much as I tried to keep up with "mom life" it got the best of me. I rested a lot and fell asleep at 8:30 Friday night.

Joe grabbed us sushi Friday evening and so Saturday I had left over Miso soup, juice and water for lunch.  I LOVE FOOD so when I had no appetite, I knew I was sick.  I am grateful for solid vitamins and lots rest, as I think it could have been much worse.  Thank goodness it was not!


I think my daily dose of positivity and green tea help too.  Sunday I was able to get out for a few hours and check out some goods at Mashalls and Target.  I may have stopped at Express too.


Totally random, but I saw this photo on my phone...April 1st you'll see these two fools tearing it up at the Ugly Disco.  We cannot wait!!  This was back in 2012...pre kids.  I am hoping I feel my very best this year!


This was a solid read!! Sorry about the language and if you're offended, than don't bother, because he probably drops the F bomb like 50+ times.  I think his message was pretty good and I know that I give WAAAAAAY too many effs about unimportant things.  I'm working on that.



Have you signed up for #thegirlfriendproject yet?!  Sign ups are open until the end of March.  You will be paired up with another lady for the month of April.  We will be "Showering each other with kindness!"

A look at my first box from my partner Lindsay!


Thursday night I did whip up some asparagus wrapped in prosciutto.  No one was really hungry, but it was tasty nonetheless.  At least I tried?


Back track to last Wednesday it was almost 70 degrees and we had so much fun playing outside.  (I think this was when we were feeling better, and then bam, the next day baby boy got hit hard again.)


Seriously my life has been in this spot all last week.   I hate seeing my kids sick; it's so hard! Hopefully we will be on the mend this week and kick these germs to the side.


That's about all I have. I've been doing some workouts I'll be sharing and I am thinking of doing an actual "February Favorites" post, if I can find the time.

My biggest struggle is that I want to do everything, but when you try to do it all, you are not very good at it.  So, I'm trying my hardest to focus and put forth energy on things that will be really well developed and good.

I also just signed up for a virtual book club and I am excited to hold myself accountable to that.

I just need to keep laughing, keep breathing, keep loving and enjoying the small moments of life.

I rush around and then try to relax...

I find myself dwelling on little petty things that annoy me or the not so great parts of me.

I need to really stop being so hard on myself and love myself where I am.

I am terrible at the comparison game lately.

Do you know what I mean?  Where you start noticing every crumb on your just cleaned carpet?

Every wrinkle on your face?

Every mistake you make?

It's a stupid slippery slope and I want to get off of it!

I listened to Joel Olsteen's message yesterday in the shower and it spoke to me about being happy. Finding the laughs, and smiles and enjoying life is why God put us here. We are not here to be miserable or feel less than.

I will put that in the forefront of my mind this week as I work hard on healing ourselves and enjoying March.

Ugly Disco 2014

Oh My Goodness!  I have not had so much fun in so long!! Hubby and I have gone to the Ugly Disco 5 times now.  We've probably had the best time yet!  I think part of it has to do with having Brooke.  We used to freely go out whenever we wanted and I'm not going to lie, I totally took it for granted.  Last year we didn't go because she was only a month old and let's be honest, no one feels like shaking her booty one month postpartum [especially while nursing].  So it is safe to say, we made up for it this year!

Sometimes you just have to let loose and have fun.  Life is too short to worry.  Just live it up!

My Disco Gel Nails


Some of our disco goodies



Hair prep: My hair is pretty thick naturally, but I figured hey let's add some "oomph". Oh hey, look our wallpaper in our master bath is from the 70s! LOL

After using the above product and simply blow drying. I could barely get the brush through!


I used my flat iron and curled away from my face.  My hair held a curl so well!


I used my Bare Minerals Ready eyeshadows


And went for the winged eye!


I just LOVE this photo.


Being cheesy.

Or creepy. Either way.

Mama made sure she slammed so she could BOOGIE all night!


We had VIP and got there early.



One of the guys Joe works with.



No one could believe I had a kid.  I am telling you guys, this is the first year ever I felt 110% body confident in my disco dress and booty shorts.

I didn't crash diet,

I didn't starve,

I LOVE AdvoCare!!

I really have to say I fell in love all over again and felt like we were kids again.  My feet are still sore and Joe lost his voice at the end of the night.  We can't wait for next year!

September

This is hands down my favorite "Disco Song" and well, it's 21st of September, so enjoy!!


Fact:  I hated disco music, that is until my husband and I attended the local "Ugly Disco" and I cannot wait to go next year!!  We always have so much fun.  I just love the happy funky beats and they always put me in a good mood.




2012 I bought a new dress--and hubby bought a new wig!!

These pictures just make me laugh.  Obviously we didn't attend the one in 2013 because I just had Brooke.  I definitely cannot wait for next year though!

Have a great Saturday friends!!

Boogie Woogie Wednesday Pins!

Happy Hump Day lovies!
I woke up yesterday with a sore throat.
NOT OK!
 As you may know, we have the Ugly Disco this weekend
and I am so excited and cannot be sick!!
After my dentist appointment yesterday, I came home 
parked my booty on the couch.
I have had lots of healthy foods, liquids and all of my natural remedies.
I'm still feeling icky, but I think it may be on its way out...
-wishful/positive thinking-
So today's pins are just some 70's inspiration for the disco!
Follow me via pinterest to see more fun pins.
 Let's get this party started!

Is it weird Joe & I wish we could go back to the 70's and live it??

How fun would Studio 54 be?

And I did not find a fun colored wig, but my hubbers will be rocking a Jheri Curl.
 His inspiration? 
You may have guessed it {from this post}
 Rick James.

Yay for the Disco!!

I didn't even like this kind of music, until we went 4 years ago. 
I heard this song played live, and I fell in love with 70's music. 
 
Have you been to an Ugly Disco or dressed up like this?
I cannot wait to share our night with you!
My sister is going this year so it's going to be extra fun!!!
I'm so happy I got a new dress too.
I've worn this for the last 3 years:


Come link up with Michelle:
