Motivation Monday

Happy Monday. Hope your weekend was well.

Friday, I got a last minute call from Trina asking if I wanted to head down to the Blogalicious event being held downtown. Although it was last minute I threw on some clothes and met her down there. Glad I did. Got a wealth of information regarding how to brand and monetize a blog..Armed with this knowledge, I have decided to brand my blog. Details to come. After networking, having a mojito, and catching up with other area bloggers I headed home to get ready for early morning kick off time.

Lil Man’s first game was Saturday morning. Pleased to announce they won. Gooooo Wolfpack. It was super hot out there, I am counting down the days until cooler weather.

Mr. and Lil Mama

The Mr. coaches his own pee wee team so after the game he took Lil Man with him to his team’s game and Lil Mama and I headed to do some shopping. I needed to get my stepdaughter some school clothes and Lil Man some jeans. Last week he may or may not have gone to school “flooding”. Can’t have that. Was happy that Old Navy was having a sale for $10 kids jeans. I love their jeans because they wash well and last pretty long. I bought a ton of jeans and a few other things and headed to Goodwill. I have taken up thrifting lately and boy some of the finds I have found….I’ll do a post later in the week with some of my finds. After a long day of shopping we headed home.

Sunday was chill day. I slept in. The Mr. took the morning shift. Then I woke up and took over so he could nap. Restful day.

This week I have a few goals that I need to accomplish.

Miles: This week in training for the half marathon, I need to run a total of 14 mi.

Meals: I get texts daily from Martha Stewart Living with daily meal ideas. One day last week one for Pineapple Stuffed Jerk Chicken came through. I am going to try this one day this week. OMG, sounds so good. If it turns out well, I’ll blog about it. You know your girl is kitchen challenged!

Piano: I have been slacking on practicing with Lil Man like I should. He needs to practice every day this week…*sigh*

Welp, there you have it. How was your weekend? What must you accomplish this week? Get motivated…Go, Go, Go, Goooooooo!

What’s up?

Its Friiiiiiiiday, and I’m ready to swang, pick up my girls and hit the party scene…literally. I have one busy weekend ahead of me.

During my summer hiatus I started freelancing for a new e-magazine here in Atlanta called the Atlanta Tastemaker<—-subscribe here. I’ve met some awesome moms working with this project, great friendships and supportive women. Well tonight is the launch party and its being held at an oh so swanky rooftop venue downtown. Can’t.Wait.

I won’t be hanging out that late because I have a 6:20a flight Sat. morning. Yep, you read right…A.Flight. I’m getting on an airplane. I know you want to know where I’m going but I can’t tell. I did mention it on Twitter awhile back if anybody remembers take it to the grave and don’t expose me in the comment section. Where I’m going my face will be a surprise and while I know said person doesn’t “do” the Twitter, they do have access to the web and I’m just not sure if they are reading..so that leaves you in suspense. #youcare

Well this week I’ve tried to create a schedule and for the most part I stuck to it *slow claps*. I’m proud of myself I pushed through and completed my task list…for the most part..for most of the most part..

Lil Mama is trying to talk. I make it a point to enunciate with her while she grips the basics. She has started copying me sound for sound. Ex: I say hoT . She says oT. I say cuP she says cuuuuuP whilst grabbing at my shirt trying to nurse. Weaning? oh yeah, that is a work in progress. Maybe I’ll vlog her new found language skills next week. That’s if I come up on some change for a new webcam…seeing we need a new roof and all..that’s a story for next week.

Lil Mama has also found her voice and makes it a point to belt out random ear piercing shrieks at her leisure.

Lil Man is adjusting to school well. Piano lessons are going well and he is playing football again. Would any one of you know why football for a bunch of 5 y.o.’s would cost $600? Anybody?

I’ve picked my camera back up! I had a shoot last weekend with baby girl twins. Marinate on the sound of that. Uber cuteness. Next week, I’ll post a few from the shoot.

I’ve been running and following my half marathon training program to a TEE. Unfortunately I had to join the gym. With Lil Man’s schedule and my husband coaching his own pee wee team on the off days, I just didn’t have the time to get in my runs like I needed to. So now, after I drop off at school I hit the gym, Lil Mama goes in the kid center. Crisis diverted.

Welp, that was long and random. Come back on Monday for the reveal of my top secret covert mission. There will be tons of pics..tons.

What’s on your agenda for the weekend? Summer is winding down, you better get it in and get it in soon. ’til Monday!

In other news:

The summer is wrapping up for us and I am looking forward to everything going back to normal. School here starts on August 1, so I am in the process of getting Lil Man ready for Kindergarten *sniffles* I can’t believe it. He is really pressing the issue about riding the school bus and I’m just not sure. Furthermore I’m stressing because I want to pack him lunches and send him with a lunchbox and smiley face notes. His dad says that’s lame. Is it?

Lil Mama left on Saturday morning to spend some time with her godmother in Fl. I miss her, but I was becoming a little unraveled. I needed a few days to myself. She’ll be back tomorrow. I will be refreshed by then. Lil Mama is growing so fast, and has turned into quite the bully. Slapping and biting are her weapons of choice.

Well, after completing the 10K I have decided in an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle I am going to start training for a half marathon. YES 13.1 miles. Me. <–. The plan is to do two. One in Savannah in November and the Disney Princess in February. I’m going to really keep track of my progress on the blog through a new app I found for my phone..you know accountability. With you all watching me, I will feel like a failure if I slack off and don’t go through with it. Don’t let me fall off. Okay?

I haven’t been taking as many photos as I would like trying to keep peace in the house with the kids. I did order some business cards from this site called Moo. If you need cards you have to go there. The quality is awesome and they are very reasonable.

Welp, that’s enough of my ramblings. How was your weekend?
