Mondays Are Our Saturdays.

       My husband has, Sundays and Mondays off, so Mondays become are chillax day. My husband wanted this Monday to be like a Saturday cartoon day. Which is fine with me, I love spending quality time with my family at home. We started the day by watching the Power Puff Girls, because my daughter loves that show. I don't mind watching that one either because it doesn't drive me crazy over time. I still insisted even thought it was a relaxing day that we eat somewhat healthy. So I made smoothies for breakfast.      We took my daughter out in the back yard, and set up the pool so that she could swim. Which was harder then I had originally thought to fill up the pool. Living in an apartment we don't have a hose. Will I thought getting a bucket and filling up the bucket then taking it to the pool would work. It took forever lol, however we were able to make it happen my husband found multiple buckets to fill so that we could fill it up faster. We made lunch before trying

I Love Sundays

  I love going to church, reconnecting to my Heavenly Father, and coming closer to my Savior Jesus Christ is so important. I wasn't able to go last week because my daughter was sick, and the week before that my husband was sick. So its been a while sense all my family was able to together, which I love being in Christs church with my family. The spirit was so strong while I was sitting in sacrament meeting. I don't always get to listen to all of the talks that are given in sacrament meeting, while wrestling a 1 year old it can be tricky. However this Sunday I was able to get a lot out of the talks that where given, and my daughter was able to have fun with the little girl sitting behind us. So I was able to listen a lot more. I love the talk about serving people, and the talk about having trials in all things.     I taught Relief Society this Sunday which was kind of nerve racking at first. However as I woke up Sunday morning I felt piece and comfort knowing it was all g

Some Days I Break Down

        Living with anxiety and depression can be hard. I try every single day to not let it get the best of me and I have been a lot more successful recently. However I still have days that are hard and I break down, which sucks and its not fun. I took a class to help me over come my anxiety and depression after I had my daughter, this helped me a ton. The class took me through so many emotional tools to help me when I was feeling anxious or depressed. As well as teaching me how to take care of my body's nutrition can help me as well as exercising can help me stay on track. I wasn't perfect, but if you go through the class trying each and everyday knowing that its a life long commitment to become better each day as time goes on, you have better results. I feel like our kids deserve the best to know that their mommy is going to fight to overcome these obstacles in my life so that I can fully be there for them in the way that they need. I know first hand how bad and selfish

I Love To See The Temple

         Going to the temple, helps me to reconnect with the lord and come closer to god. Nothing puts life into perspective more then going to the temple for me.  I woke up thinking we had a long week with lots to do we will just go to the temple tomorrow. When it comes to going to the temple it is so easy to make up excuses on why we should wait until another day. However lately my husband and I have made a goal to go every week, and that has helped us not let anything get in our way of going. I looked at my husband and said "are we still going to the temple today?" and he replied and said that he was planning on it. Which made me super happy  to know that he was ready and willing to go. We go to the temple right after my husband gets off work, my daughter gets to spend the night with my mom and have dinner. Which is really fun for her, she also doesn't like us leaving but I know she enjoys the time she has with her grandma. We usually go on Fridays because its date

Pool Fun & Video Games With Friends

                Yesterday was a lot of fun. I was able to have a really successful day and still relax. I started doing more preschool related stuff with my daughter, even though she is only 1 years old I feel like its still important to do little things everyday to help her learn and grow. So that when it is time for her to start school she will be prepared. I have tried many different things to do preschool with my daughter from construction paper and doing animal alphabets. They all kind of fizzled out and I didn't have time to really prepare them everyday. So I got this book from hobby lobby, for preschool age kids and just adapting it to her age. I have been a lot more successful doing this then all the other methods I have tried. Why? For one all I have to do is take a page out of the book quickly adapt it to her age, then we do it. After we are done I let her color the page and we are done. Less fuss and less planning, sounds good to me. I want to go and get more bookle

We All Make Mistakes

        I know I say this in all of my posts but I am truly glad that I start my day by reading my scriptures this is what I have learned the last two days. There are so many paths to take in life, so many choices to make everyday that can help change your life. When you make the effort to start something great things can happen. In addition to that life can be so hard sometimes, I have times when I don't know if we are going to make it. However I had an eye opener that rather then focusing on things that are bad, its better to focus on the blessings that I have. By doing so it helps to put everything in to greater perspective, and It helps me see how we are going to overcome things that are to come. I read in the Doctrine and Covenants today, that if I do things with Christ all things are possible. Which is so true. I know I would not be where I am today without my savior on my side. All I have is  because he is with me, and a blessing from God.         I love to get out of th

Finding Balance

Starting the day off right      I always like to start my day with reading my scriptures, and praying to my Heavenly Father. I know I mentioned that in my previous post but I feel that its important to mention, and to share my insights of the scriptures everyday. I read about the saviors atonement today, and no matter how hard life gets we can always look to the savior for help. Because he knows exactly what we are going through in our life's, he suffered in the garden of gethsemane for us. So that he could fully understand our hardships and what we go through on a day to day basis. He knows what our trials our like because he experienced them, so that he can help us in this life.      I love how that what I read in the scriptures is exactly what I need for the day, to help me get through and realize what's most important. As well as remind me that I can strive to be better tomorrow then I was today. Finding Balance      I have been trying to find balance in my life,

Gender Reveal

Starting the morning off right Every morning I wake up at 6:30am, why? Mainly because I like to have me time before my daughter and husband wake up. I start the day by getting on my knees and praying to my Heavenly Father, and reading my scriptures. Reading my scriptures first thing in the morning helps me stay grounded and focus on the important things in life. I feel the spirit so much more strong when I do this and I have a much better day. Normally I read my scriptures and then the Ensign, after I am done doing that I run to my art room and I paint. However today I got ready right away, because today is the day we found out the Gender of baby number 2 and we had to be at the DR by 10AM. We were all pretty excited. although my 1 year old is still trying to figure out what's going on. All she knows is mommy is going to have a baby soon. We all got ready right away, I even let my husband sleep in today until he absolutely had to get up so that he didn't have to get

Just a sick day at home.

I honestly never thought that I would be writing a blog about being a mom, it never crossed my mind. I have had some debates on how I should start this blog. I am completely out of my element here. I have another blog where I just talk about all the art pieces that I have been working on, as well as the art I want to do. I even have a YouTube channel and I thought that was pretty nerve racking to start, but it has actually been quite enjoyable. No matter how many followers I have its still fun for me. Even though I have other things that I am involved in doing. Writing this blog seems very weird to me. The idea for this blog was very unexpected, I have been thinking about being a mom and what that means to me, and out of the blue I had this idea to write a mommy blog. I am a very religious person. I am a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I truly believe that the inspiration for this blog came from Heavenly Father. I would never of thought of doing a mommy b
