I'm Back!!!

Sorry I've been so absent lately. Work has been very very busy, but great. I did get a promotion to Senior Manager just this week, although I've been doing the job for the past year. I'm very excited and we've been working on our goals and have been getting out more for dates.

The boys are doing great. Tommy is starting to talk a lot. He says: Mommy, Daddy, Phoebe (Bee-bee), Liam (Ee-Um), Night Night, Lights, Shoes, Hello. It's so cute. Liam can say some words, but he doesn't like to let people see what he can do. He'll try to say: Big Bird, Hello, Mommy, Phoebe. They love to dance and play "Ring Around the Rosie". They also love pretending they are reading books.

They got their hair cut at a kids hair cut place. Tommy did really well, but Liam didn't like it, so I let him have a lollipop through the whole thing. Liam had all his floppy hair cut off and it looks like Tommy's now. I love it! He'll never be mistaken for a girl again.

Here's a pic of the boys before their haircut using their new plates, forks and spoons:



Here's a pic of the boys post-haircut. Aren't they such big boys!!! Liam is on the left and Tommy is on the right.



Phoebe is getting very big! Hormones are rampant these days. I need to take her shopping for a training bra. She needs to shower more now or the under arms will get stinky and she needs to wash her face every night to keep her skin clear. Please help me!!! Love her though. She is so sweet and she also agreed to start testing for her ice skating levels, which is a huge deal. It will require more commitment from her on that and she's up to the challenge.

My piano lessons is coming along. I'm pretty excited about it. I've been eating properly most of the time, and I started exercising again this week. Hope everyone is doing well!

Wow! You've been busy! I love that you're taking piano lessons...one of the great loves of my life.

The boys look ADORABLE after their haircuts (before too, you know what I mean). Mine hated it for a while too...they were much better when we went recently.

Love date nights...have one tonight!

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...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
