It's been a while...

 It has been four years since I last posted. I have wanted to start blogging again about just random stuff in life but having two toddlers is exhausting. Trying to do the whole "take time for myself" and it really doesn't work out - I just want to sleep....or just have a night of sleep without interruption. 

Adam and I had an awesome four day getaway in June. We flew into Las Vegas, rented a motorcycle, drove to the coast of California and back to Las Vegas. IT WAS AWESOME! We are already planning to do it again in 2027 when we will both turn 40! 

I have been somewhat journaling in my journals but not consistently and thought why not just start to blog again. Nobody reads it but it is a quicker way for me to journal then writing....since now I can type a heck of a lot faster and hey, maybe I will click with someone. My grammar is awful and I just type as I think so this will be a mess but whatevski.

I have completely fallen off the healthy eating band wagon and need to get some serious self control back in check and lose the weight I have gained in the last nine months. Work stress has not helped and zero motivation to plan and try new recipes doesn't help. Maybe this will give me accountability to get in check! 

I am going to call that good enough for tonight and finish watching the Brewer game then read some and head to bed. Thankful for the basement remodel last year....we have used it a bunch this summer!! The bigs don't love us invading their space but oh well :)

The Littles

Having two babies 11 months apart is not for the weak. The first few years are exhausting catering to their constant needs. They are now 2 and 3 years old and so much fun! Some nights I just sit and watch and listen to them. They play so well most times and have the best imaginations. My older two are just over two years apart and it is crazy the difference in how they interacted when they were younger compared to these two. Being a mom is exhausting, overwhelming, fulfilling and fun! Being able to watch my kids all play together just makes my heart sing, especially when there are lots of giggles! ❤️

Hormones

 Why do women have such wild hormones and endocrine system needs!? My cycles have been getting progressively worse and it is no fun. I started reading WomanCode by Alisa Vitti, Founder and CEO of FLO Living. I am only on page like 60 and it is soo soo good. I wish I would have done more research on what I was eating and how I was treating my body prior to 2020 and I wish I would have read this book like 20 years ago but today is a new day and I will start to take care of myself in a different way moving forward. I am fortunate to have this knowledge to be able to educate my children.  Anyways - just an emotional hot mess over here and things probably wont get better for a while....here's to hoping I don't end up in jail or fired :) ~Trying to Live the American Dream

October 2019: Miscarriage November 2019: Let myself go - emotional wreck - internally hard on myself December 2019: Same as November January 2020: Decide to take a class my friend Tracy is teaching, on becoming a healthier person and more aware of the hidden "crap" in our food February 2020: Still taking the class and Tracy and I spontaneously talk about starting a podcast. March 2020: We make that spontaneous decision real with our launch of Dirt Road Health and Hustle ( A podcast on how to navigate life mindfully, not perfectly while having a shit ton of fun along the way!  We talk all things whole body health and well being along with sharing our story of how,  when all you have is a dirt road, you put your boots on and walk it confidently every day.) This is really where it all began. Tracy started her health journey three years ago and I have been living in a naive state thinking everything I eat is okay for me (knowing the general stuff like junk food and sugar are doin...
