She's a toddler. Now What? Join me as I navigate the daily joys and challenges of raising a precocious toddler.
I’m a booty shakin’ Zumba lover! It’s true … I caught the fever. I started my first Zumba class about two months ago and I am hooked. I now go three days a week and I absolutely love the fact that I can do something with these hips of mine! This week’s theme for Slim by the Summer is our favorite workout! Zumba is not for the faint of heart either ~ at least not with the instructor I have! {Read More}
This was taken off a friend’s Facebook wall and then re-posted to Raising Reagan’s Facebook wall. Teresa over at Nanahood reached out to me and asked me to join her link for Thursday’s thoughts. I knew that this had to be shared! It is SO true! Those are my Thursday Thoughts.
Reagan is such a happy girl as of late. She and I have had so much fun the past couple of weeks. I think she honestly loves me now! Maybe it’s the warmer weather but we are getting out of the house and playing. I absolutely heart this little girl! It’s pure bliss! ♠ DISCLOSURE ♠ At the time this post was written my child adored me … At the time this post was published … she totally hates me! Ugh … {Read More}
Have you ever been curious about how some holiday traditions came to be? Well..I’m kind of a random fact nut job and love learning fun things. My friend Leslie from Violet Imperfection secretly hopes someone stops her on the street one day asking her a random question that she knows the answer to and then gets paid for it! So..to help her out, I compiled some facts just for the holiday season! And then … check out this week’s recipe. {Read More}
This past Sunday my girlfriend Allyson decided we deserved a much needed girls day out! Because of both of our loves for all things NFL and because my wonderful husband was willing to let us hoard the season tickets for the day we took off for Oakland. I know, the Raiders! Ugh! Horrible team…and I laugh every time they announce that they are the NFL’s Most Winning Team in Football before every home game. Really? Can they STILL claim that? {Read More}
Glow sticks are fun! My nephew received a package of glow stick necklaces for my sister’s housewarming party this past weekend. Sure, originally they were supposed to be for Aiden. Before we adults got ahold of them he and Reagan were playing with them in the bathtub. After we got ahold of them the kids wanted to know where their glow sticks went! It started out innocent enough. Michelle and I were sitting across the living room from each other {Read More}
Reagan is a mini me! She loves to imitate and she loves to try new things. The past couple of days I have been hobbling around with sore muscles after running my half marathon so I will find myself stretching in the middle of doing laundry, doing dishes or watching TV. Nothing feels better than a good, deep stretch of achy muscles. Two nights ago I decided I would do a couple of yoga poses in the living room so {Read More}
Some of my fellow bloggers have been asking about an update on my recent venture into running a ½ marathon in October. I’ll admit for someone that hates (or should I say hated) running I am pleasantly surprised at my progress. My best friend sent me over a training schedule that will prepare us in 12 weeks for a ½ marathon we have signed up for in October called the Urban Cow! Priceless name, yes? What can I tell you {Read More}
Now let’s not get too crazy. We will start small and work our way up. I for one, hate running! I don’t know what I’m thinking but I know that it’s a goal I want to set for myself. Going to the gym five days a week for the past six months has really amped me up for wanting to teach my daughter a way of life, a healthy lifestyle. I didn’t get a huge dose of watching my parents {Read More}
