April Goals Review: 30 DOB + GIVEAWAY!



Today marks the end of the 30 Days of Blogging. I hope you all enjoyed following along and reading the prompts. I even hope you had the chance to link up your blogs with us. Today is going to be extra special. There is a GIVEAWAY at the bottom is today's post. Don't forget to ENTER once you read. 
______________________________________________________________________________________________

In the beginning of the month I wrote down five goals for myself realistically to meet by the end of the month. What were some of your monthly goals? I'd love to hear some in a comment bellow! 

The key is to make a goal that you can meet. Here is where I am at with the goals I set for myself in the beginning of April.
1. Spend more time in reflection.
 2. Work out/ get it. 
3. Drink more green juice and water
4. Make more time for myself.
5. Read the bible

I have meet them all, maybe not right away which is okay. Maybe a few this past week I have finally meet. Better late than never. Number one I started right away. I spent a lot of time in reflection and it has helped my anxiety tremendously. I have opened up my Bible and started reading it all over again. Thank goodness I have because my five year Daughter is becoming full of questions about heaven and hat happens when we pass away. Why, I am not sure? Kids go through phases right? 

I have to admit I am not perfect. I made myself and my Daughters green juice here and there. Not as much as I'd like. I really need to get on that. I also really need a kick in the bee-hind to gain more motivation to keep working out. Usually I really enjoy it. I started this week though, counts then right? I'm blaming it on the crummy weather Michigan keeps having. How did meeting your goals end up?
                                                                                                                                                                   


This last week of the month we're going to "mix it up" and invite ALL  of our co-hosts back for a final thank you to everyone who helped to make this past month a success! It's been an absolute blast getting to know each and every one of you guys! :)

You Are Worth It! 30 DOB! + link-up!



                                                                                                                                                              


Today's prompt is to choose one of your favorite writing prompt's from this month. I honestly could not choose, therefore I chose one I did not write; Greatest Life Lesson. What is a greatest life lesson for you? I promise to keep mine short and simple...somewhat. We all have more than one great life lessons. I know I do at least, so I am going to choose to share one that I struggle with almost daily. Maybe you even do too. 

You Are Worth It
Sometimes I allow others to bring me down. I allow myself to start thinking I am not worthy. I often allow people to walk over me. (Okay, warning this may be a little deep at first. ) I always would find myself earning for that relationship with others to find acceptance, only to be shut down. 

After years of going through all these emotions and anger, I have leaned on the big guy; God. I have finally learned a great lesson. That great lesson would be that, I am worthy. I am worthy of being in a relationship. I am worthy with God by my side. I am who I am and I am proud.

30 DOB: Soccer Mom + link-up!



Welcome back to the finishing up of the 30 days of blogging. I am excited to be apart of the ending. Take a moment and grab the button. Today's writing prompt is: freebie. 
                                                                                                                                                                 


I suppose it's time to fill you guys in. I am officially a soccer Mom. Our oldest Daughter is starting her first season of soccer. Even better my husband is her coach. I might have already mentioned that a while ago. Oops! I've taken on the organizational aspect of the coaching part for him. 

We are so proud of Ev. She already played two games. The first game she was somewhat timid. This past game; the second one; she was getting right in there. The best part, she even made a goal. Here is to the rest of the season and awesome parents on her team.

Does your child play a sport? If so what sport?

My Favorite Workout Routines: 30DOB



I hope you have been able to keep up with the start of the 30 days of blogging thus far. Also a lot of exciting things have been going on on the blog lately. Don't miss out on the two GIVEAWAYS happening RIGHT NOW. 1) $25 Cato Gift Card and 2.) $20 Target Gift Card at the TGIF hop
                                                                                                                                                                  
Day: 5
I am actually excited to share my favorite workout routines with all of you. I feel it is very important to stay on top of our weekly exercise. I like to make an effort to work out 3 days a week. Being a Mother I know that I have to set realistic routines. That way I don't get down on myself. With that being said here are a few of my favorite ways I enjoy working out. Get that I said enjoy? I have to enjoy what I am doing to stick to it. You might want to remember that as well. 

  • Walking. I am not a runner by any means. Trust me you do not want to see me run. Walking is great for your body. Sticking to a walking routine has helped me lose the baby weight after having my three Daughters. In the cold blistery months I walk on my elliptical inside and when it's warm enough I love walking outside getting fresh air. 
  • Yoga. I don't know about you but I always get a sore back from lugging my youngest around daily. In and out of her car seat. Holding her when she wants to be held. You get my drift. Motherhood is rough on our backs. That's when I love doing yoga. I even doing a few simple stretches when I wake up in the morning when I feel I need it. Or throughout the day. When I really want that workout in I will do a strict yoga workout. Its great for the mind and body. 
  • Pinterest. Don't laugh. Pinterest does have some good easy and quick workout routines; Perfect for us busy Moms on the go. Here is my favorite leg workout that I found on Pinterest. I even tried it out for a whole week, and my legs were sore. I even was happy to start seeing results.

30 DOB: My Favorite Things About Spring

30 DOB (Days Of Blogging)

                                                                                                                                                                 


Who doesn't love the month of April? Although here in Michigan April can be a little tricky. It can either be really warm or really cold. Just like the month of March. But with April comes so much more that I love or should I say are a few of my favorite things about spring. 

I love the fact that we can actually start to get outdoors for a decent amount of time. Hearing the laughter again from the children in the neighborhood is so uplifting. Congregating with the other Mom's with little toddlers once again as if we woke up out of our caves from hibernating all winter and feeling human again. 

The smell. Have you ever noticed the distinct smell of spring? When you walk outside and took a deep breath with the sun shinning that has been tucked away all winter?  If not, you can smell spring. The fresh air with flowers starting to pop out of the ground that is no longer covered in snow, let alone solid as a rock.

April showers. Even though the rain may not be every ones favorite thing about April but it does tend to bring May flowers. And flowers we do love.

Once again today's prompt is another great one. Again I sat pondering what makes me...well me. My thoughts ended bringing to today. Deep down in thought what Makes me...me is passion for things I believe in and my tough side. Your most likely thinking in confusion how those two mix together. Or let alone how they make a person right? Keep reading.

I've always been told by friends and family I am a strong person. I am to thank God for that one. Truly because I believe he knew my path before I did. That path I encountered I needed to be that strong person. That path I am talking about is when I had our first daughter; when I became a teenage Mother. Of course I am no longer a teenage Mother. I am a grown women with a wonderful family. Thanks to my tough love and my ability to be passionate for things in life. 

These two characteristics that make me who I am help me as a Mother day to day. As a wife to my husband going on seven years. They have even helped me argue with judgemental people about our fur baby we adopted not too long ago, who is a pit bull. Trust me she will melt your heart. 

What is something that you are passionate about? What makes you...you?
