Blog Summer Camp Day 4 and Day 5


Well again, I'm behind a day again, but at least it's not three days behind. So let's catch up now shall we?

Day 4 – What has most surprised you about being an adult? What have you learned about yourself through blogging?

Hmmmmm - I get to make up my own rules, but I knew that would happen. I guess it would be that just when you think you are as busy as you possibly can be, you figure out you can handle even more and you wonder what you were complaining about being busy before. I remember before we had children, I thought I was so busy with work and our apartment. Then you get a house, have kids, get a bigger house (that needs cleaning and maintenance) and you can juggle it all. It may not be perfection, but then again, we all need to be cured of that disease anyway.

And what have I learned from blogging? Mostly that I'm not alone. Through whatever I've been working out - infertility, newborn twins, trying to live healthy - there are other people out there just like me. I get to share my experiences and other bloggers share theirs with me. I love it.

Day 5 -What do you prefer to do on your birthday?

I usually end up working on my birthdays and wait for the weekend to celebrate, so I think the first thing to the perfect birthday would be no work! I'd wake up and make yummy blueberry pancakes and french press coffee. Get to enjoy breakfast with my three great kids (chaos!) and darling husband. Go for a nice walk with the kids in perfect weather - not too hot, not too cold (usually doesn't happen since my birthday is mid-March). Go out for sushi for lunch with just DH and maybe buy myself some stuff to pretty myself in Sephora. I'd love to spend the afternoon at a spa, getting a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure and my hair and makeup done. Come home to one of my husband's wonderful gourmet dinners and a strawberry shortcake with dark chocolate shavings up the sides. Get the boys ready for bed with books, prayers and kisses and last but not least, enjoy some quiet time with DH with a glass of Chardonnay and probably much much more.

I totally agree that realizing we're not alone is a great advantage to blogging. However I'm feeling, I can usually go to my computer and find someone who is feeling the same way. Such a comfort and encouragement!

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
