Chloe’s first day of Early Learners Class

    Today was Chloe’s first day of School. We decided it would be good for her to socialize and be around kids a few hours a week, so we decided to enroll her twice a week for half days. I’ve been dreading today for about a month now, just thinking about how the drop off would go, how will Chloe be without me and so forth. It gave me the worse “mommy anxiety” but I tried to stay positive and hyped up the whole school idea for a few days leading up to it. I got her the cutest little outfit from #sparkleinpink and ordered these adorable cookies from #dotsandbows cookies for her teacher.  This morning I woke her up around 6:50iah bout 30-45 min earlier than she normally wakes up. We ended up sleeping together since for some reason she refused to sleep in her crib but as I laid there with her arm wrapped around me I couldn’t help but to smile and think, maybe this will be our new tradition; sleepover before the first day of school. (We’ll see how long that last). ...

Chloe’s Learning

    Chloe saying her colors Chloe saying her shapes When I became a mom, I wanted nothing but the best life for my baby girl. I was thankful to have spent 12 weeks home with her on maternity leave but was so sad to have to go back to work for 6 more months until summer break. Those 6 months, were loooong and hard, I had a difficult time Managing everything because I always put đź’Ż percent in everything I do. So I wanted the best for my 22 students but I also wanted the best for my baby girl. Plus considering I was doing majority of the mom/wife duties at home I was exhausted and felt like I wasn’t able to give Chloe all of me. That’s why I was happy to be able to have the opportunity to stay home with Chloe.  Although I miss the “art of teaching” (not all the BS that comes with it) I’m thankful that I am able to transfer my teaching skills and focus my time on Chloe.  Chloe is almost 2 years old, since she was a baby we’ve read books every night. Righ...

4th of July

                                          Happy 4th of July!  Today ended up being an impromptu family day and it was so much fun. Since 4th of July ended  up being on a Wednesday we didn’t have anything planned since J had to work yesterday and will work tomorrow as well. So we were just going to hang out at my moms house, but then over a stream of text this morning we ended up making plans to go to Fort Worth and spend the day there with my sister’s family.  We stopped on the way @cousinsbarbecue it was our first time to eat their food and it did NOT disappoint. We ordered chicken, ribs, sausage and chopped brisket, along with fried okra, black eyed peas and slaw. The fried okra and ribs were my absolute favorite but honestly all of it was delicious. When you head to Fort Worth don’t foreget to check out  Cousins Barbecue We spent some time ...

Low Carb Breakfast

So eating low Carb is actually one of the easiest life style changes I’ve made. There are still so many healthy and easy options to make and I love making breakfast now. Here are a few of my favorite recipes with the Macros from @myfitnesspal too.    Egg Bell Pepper *cut a round part of a bell pepper bout an inch thick put iron pan and let it sit for a bit in oil * crack a brown organic egg inside the round part of the bell pepper and let it cook just enough to be able to flip (like your making an over easy egg *flip cook a bit longer take out of pan and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.   Cheese omelet and bacon  *make an omelet stuffed with cheese  *top with tbs of salsa * eat with 2 slices of bacon EASY!  Cottage Cheese with Strawberries  * get the full fat cottage cheese 1/2 a cup *chop up 3 strawberries *sprinkle with half of a 1/4 of a cup of pecans.   People get the misconception that eating low c...

8 week Results

I’ve officially been taking Ketones for 8 weeks so here’s my update! Since my last measurements done 4 weeks ago I’ve only lost 1.2lbs but my total weight loss since starting ketone has been 5.2lbs! Which is pretty amazing! However I’m not too worried about the weight loss because as you can see I’m loosing inches y’all! In these past 4 weeks I’ve lost a total of 4.6 inches which means in 8 weeks I’ve lost about 8in total. I’m seeing results physically but let’s also talk about the other benefits, I still love the energy the Ketones are giving me, I only take one pack a day in the morning and can fast until about  11am  (Lunch time) , basically fasting for 16 hours. One day I plan to do a 24 hour fast while only taking ketones. I’ll let y’all know how that goes.  Sleeping has been amazing, and what’s crazy is I can remember my dreams now, although some I’d rather forget. My cravings continue to decrease, maybe it’s the fact that now I know how many carbs are ...

San Antonio Road Trip 2018

My sister and I were able to get free passes for sixflags using our teacher certification numbers. If you’re a teacher you need to check out all the cool discounts and free stuff you get from using IdMe. So we decided that we would road trip to San Antonio and take the girls with us. My parents and nephew decided to join in on the fun and thankfully my sister has a big  car to accommodate so many of us.  I wasn’t sure how Chloe was going to do in the car that long and thankfully my sister had little stops along the way to help with the girls.  So we took off from Fort Worth on Tuesday morning at 8:30 headed to our first stop bluebonnet cafe in marble falls. They have the yummiest pies! http://www.bluebonnetcafe.net/  a little over an hour in and Chloe started showing off her Loco side, she was not happy being in the car staring at the back of a seat. We tried to color, watch Moana, dance and sing to Mickey Mouse but nothing was wor...

Snackin’ and Trippin’

  My twin sister and I will be going on a road trip with our daughters to San Antonio so we can go to Sea World. We are excited but, so nervous about how this trip will go given we will be in a car for 5+ hours with two toddlers! Don’t worry I’ll post about that in my next blog. 🤪 So I’m on week 6 of a low carb diet and taking Therapeutic Ketones. I’m still feeling great and seeing results I haven’t seen in a long time so, I don’t want to get off track so we decided to get some low carb snacks, to keep us on the right path!  The most important is our Pruvit Keto/os! And of course we had to have a variety of flavors! Hopefully taking our Therapeutic Ketones will help us keep our sanity. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Here’s all the other snacks and their carb info as well!  1/2 cup of raw strawberries 3.3 net carbs 5 blackberries 1.5 net carbs Beef jerky 5g of carbs  Smart cake 4 net carbs  Oh snap pickles 0g of carbs  Pepperoni bites 0g of carbs P3 Turkey ...
