Today both of the kids (one mine/one his) are back home for the week. Normally, I would be counting the days 'til they came back, sadly not this time around. In recent weeks my "step" son hasn't been the nicest to me, so let's see how this week unravels.
FYI I hate using the "step" word! If I'm feeding you, driving you, caring for you, teaching you, loving you, being your shoulder for whatever you need it for and you are living with me then, you are my family, my child, my son.

It's All About How You Feel
In two weeks we will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary, YAY! When we got married I was so happy, so in love and so 10lbs. over weight. Most women want to look good, feel good and be slim on their wedding day, well 2 out of 3 isn't too bad, right? If you ask my husband he will tell you a different story, he'll say that I was gorgeous and prefect but that's why I married him. :)
About a month into married life I vowed that I would not let myself go now that I'm married to the man of my dreams. After all I had no excuses, we weren't going to be having a baby, we are active with the kids and I like to look good. Now it should be noted that my goal was not to be skinny, it was to be fit. I am a woman and love my womanly curves, I love my breast, hips, thighs and butt and I wasn't going to let those go for nothing! I started off slowly, taking walks, cutting back on certain foods and I seen results soon after, however that was not good enough so it was time for a gym membership!
Fast forward 2 year later, I feel great! As a family we are eating healthier, being more active and now my husband and I go to the gym together. Going to the gym with him at night time when the kids are getting ready for bed has improved our relationship. We get to hang out with one another, being able to catch up on what's going on or to just be plain goofy without any interruptions, this is our quality time.
After our workout last night my husband was hungry and us being the lovers of food that we are thought of a delicious snack to make that would leave us guilt-free for eating at midnight. We cooked an egg from our chicken coop with an organic veggie sausage patty and my goodness it was heavenly! I like putting a lot of pepper on my eggs, oh and hot sauce, yum! It was so good that I had to share a picture of it. So if you're looking for a healthy snack that will fill you up here it is. Yes I use paper plates, don't judge me.

Intro Into My World
Hi Everyone
Blog post #1, how exciting! When ever I'm out and have a chance to talk with someone its always nice to know that in whatever situation you are in you are not the only who has been through it! Getting advice and giving advice seems to make my world more peaceful. There is so much for me to talk about rather than keep it bundled up inside so BLOGGING WORLD HERE I COME!
Let's start with a quick back drop:
I am married to an amazing man who works all day while I stay home and take care of the house, kids, dogs and chickens. Along with saying "I DO" to my husband I also said "I DO" to his 3 kids. All who were in the ages of 13-17 at the time. And likewise when he said "I DO" he said it to me and my 1 child that I brought along who is a pre teen. So there you have it 4 kids all in the "big kid" age groups and all with different personalities and temperaments. Added to my household are my 2 dogs who take up a huge part of my day seeing how they are the only two who keep me sane during my dags and my (now only) one chicken, Miss Abernathy, she is such a doll!
That covers my living situation now onto me.
I just turned, well who cares how old I turned haha to be honest I feel like I'm no where near my age. At times I feel younger and others times not so much "older" but wise than my actual age. I love with all that I have, I am very protective of my family but at the same time I am at times strict and love to have things in order. Around the house I feel more like a drill sergeant than a mom. Our youngest just started online school so now I have another human in the house throughout my days which I am perfectly fine with. The only downside to that is no more walking around in my underwear but hey it's a good trade off. I spend my days cleaning, looking up dinner recipes (thank God for Pinterest), helping the youngest with school work and being a taxi. This is usually on a calm day. For some reason things do not stay calm around here for too long. Before I would stress out and it would turn into a fight with my husband but now I do my best to just let things roll off which isn't always easy when dealing with teenagers and an ex wife.
Well with that I'm off to start my lunch date with my pastry chef sister so til next time world keep laughing. ;)
