Privacy

I am always plagued with the issue of privacy and my online business. This blog is a love hate relationship for me right now. I started this a long time ago to share with all of my followers, I wanted parents out there (my customers) to know that being a parent is amazing and hard all at the same time. When I first became a mom I was the only one I knew with kids. I felt very alone and had lots of questions. So I share because I want other moms out there who might feel the same way to know they are not alone.

Well because of this I put myself out into the open. 99% of the time I don't mind. But the odd time I get people who visit this blog regularly for other reasons. Those are the people who make me hesitant to post like I want to. Yes I know who visits all of my websites. I go to blogs because I like them. I love reading about others lives, that is what makes me visit them regularly. Well I am sure these 1% don't visit mine because they are interested in me. So this holds me back from writing here.

As I assess this blog and my writing on it I look at what is most important to me - my family. I will protect them over anything else and until I feel more comfortable sharing about our life I might not be posting here as often. I am sure just sharing this will make it easier for me to come back and write about my crazy life!

Slacking I know...

I have been bad lately with my blogging. These past couple of weeks have been crazy busy and I am just doing everything I can to keep my head above water!

I am loving life right now though. The sun is shining and the kids are enjoying time outside. My body is looking "hot" for the summer, first time in 6 years that I could actually attempt to wear a short skirt or short shorts again. All the pilates at my gym has really paid off. Have I said before how much I love pilates? Well I do! So much so that I have bought stuff to be able to do a lot of it at home. It really is amazing what it has done to my body in a short period of time, I just smile when I think of what I will be like in another 6 months.

I actually stepped on the scale on the weekend, something I don't do very often and I was surprised. It said 118lbs, I am 10lbs off of my pre kids weight of 108lbs! I never thought this day would come and I was okay with it. My body changed the moment I got pregnant with Kal and I was fine to weigh more. My boobs are bigger now so I knew there was a couple extra pounds there.

Most of my spring and summer clothes are too big for me now. Nothing to complain about, well except I don't really have a lot of money to buy new clothes. I am putting most of my income back into the business and paying off the debt caused by our move last June. So even though I would love to hit the mall for a shopping spree, and trust me there is a lot I want to buy, I won't. Thankfully I got my little shopping spree at my favorite store Lululemon for my birthday!

Oh I have to go pick up Kal from school, better run, enjoy the rest of your day. The sun is shining here so I know I will!
