Hello friends! I just wanted to write a little post about life & how things are going.
So, we are okay over here, just living life. Baby spat up everywhere last night and kept us up late and woke me up at 6, so I am a sleepy mama today. I just went and got a coffee and she fell asleep in the backseat for a nap- as I am writing this waiting in the parking lot at Target for someone to bring out my online order.
Life is slow and steady. The uncertainty that marred the first couple of months of the pandemic is becoming routine and boredom is setting in. The hobbies I sought to placate myself with have lost their sheen and I am already seeking new ones.
I have given up on learning how to do my own nails at least for now and have changed my mind about acrylics. I think that when I do finally get back into it I’ll try to do the dip gels. The drill I want has been sold out for months with no sign of a restock. Once it is back in stock, I’ll get it and start working on that hobby again. I think it would be awesome to be able to do my own gel polish nails!
I am still working on the personal training course I signed up for but I gotta say: all this anatomy is getting tough to remember and I can’t seem to get past ‘week 6’. Also: in order to take my exam I need to pass a first aid course and I want to so an in-person one but they’re all cancelled until further notice, at least last time I checked. I think they do offer online ones, but I really want to do it in person because I want the physical experience. In any case: I need to get this course done. I have been signed up since May and it’s still not done. Ugh.
A while back I was working on losing weight. Well, I got to 163, and my weight was steady for months- and I couldn’t seem to get the last 15 pounds off. Well, since I put my gym membership on pause (due to the pandemic and no one wearing masks- not even my personal trainer), I have gained back 5 pounds. 🤦♀️ So, currently, I am at 168. I am starting a new program called “Noom,” and I will let you know how it goes. I will be cancelling my PNP Tribe membership to compensate since Noom is $45 a month.
I have been steadily working on my book. It is taking a long time but I am making lots of progress and it will be complete by November or December, I think. I am very passionate about blogging and I think that everyone should have a blog. If you want to learn more about blogging or keep up to date about my book release check out my blog by the same name as my soon-to-be published book:

I’ve taken up doing little crafty things too amd made this the other day:
It’s just dollar store flowers sitting in a dollar store bucket with a little seed trim from Hobby Lobby around the base but I think it came out good. Cute for fall.
I also found a way to up-cycle all the baby food jars and am planning to make tiny sewing kits to give away and keep in a few places in my house and one in my car. Never know when something might fall apart on you!
Anyways, I have been feeling a little bored lately, I guess- even with all this stuff going on, but I felt like throwing a life update out there. How have y’all been lately? Let me know in the comments below!
