The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Uncategorized · October 7, 2016

Finally Friday!

The weeks are flying and I seriously have so much to do. When Bennett went back to school I said I wanted to get the rest of his photo books finished. I finished them, but have yet to get them printed. I’m hoping by the end of the year I will be able to have them all here and put away. I also made an adorable outfit for Carson when they meet Santa, and have the stuff to create a matching outfit for Bennett but it’s not even cut out from the pattern yet. I really need to get on that. Luckily, we aren’t doing much in Carson’s room since we are moving next spring–I did however get all the clothes washed and put away. 

I confess this Hurricane Matthew is scary looking. I pray continuously for the people that are in the line of the storm, I’m hoping that a good chunk of people listened and evacuated when they told them to. Supposedly this is the worst storm to hit Florida in any of our lives–that’s just a little insane to me. Do you know anyone in the line of the storm? 

I confess this 31 week mama was excited about going to Disney this weekend. Obviously we cancelled our stay pretty early but I’m kinda hoping to go on Saturday night and Sunday during the day. It’s supposed to be really nice here this weekend. We’re talking 82 is the high. If we don’t make it there this weekend we are going at the end of the month. 

Kinesio Tape– Diary of a Fit Mommy
I confess I’m so sore. It’s kinda insane to me that I’m as sore as I am as I have had a pretty easy pregnancy. I’m actually fine throughout the day, but as soon as night time hits I’m sitting down with my feet up. It actually almost feels like growing pains, weird–because I don’t think my leg is growing. I’m going to try the kinesio tape. Has anyone ever tried that stuff? Does it work? 

I confess I need to get some nursing bras. First my bras are way too small at the moment, and second I need to invest in some anyways for when this baby comes in 9 weeks! I know for sure I want some either Energy Bras or Free To Be from Lululemon, but I need probably 2 bras that are actual nursing bras as well. Any advice on what you like best? I need something with a little push up and padding in it.

I confess that I’m kind of in denial that I’m having this baby in single digit weeks. I am so excited, nervous, and ten thousand other emotions–to meet him. I have this lovely little gift that “Carson” bought Bennett when he is born and I’m getting so excited to share that moment with him. We will be recording it and I will post it on my Facebook and probably my Youtube channel. Did you do anything special when your little one is born for your older ones?

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
