Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

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?

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
