Christmas 2017 | R E C A P

December 26, 2017 Leave a Comment

I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas – I can’t believe it’s already coming to a close! There’s something about the holiday season – I feel like it never sticks around long enough, but I guess it wouldn’t be as special if it lasted too long!

Despite the craziness that was December around here (broken ankles, huge water leak in our living room, all of us being sick basically the entire month), we still managed to have a beautiful Christmas as a family. I spent a lot of time this year trying to make the holidays as magical as possible for the girls, so we did an activity every single day leading up to Christmas…and it ended up being so much fun! We found every reason possible to make a quick trip out just so we could look at more Christmas lights – everyone around us was so festive this year, which was awesome. We put Christmas lights in basically every room of our house, too, and I’m not quite ready to part with the soft glow every night. All in all, it was a wonderful month and despite how sad I am to see it go, I’m also ready for a fresh start, a blank slate and a big year ahead.

I wanted to share few pictures from our Christmas while it was still on my mind 🙂Christmas 2017 Recap

As you can see, my husband’s favorite gift was clearly the Playstation 4 he wasn’t expecting. My favorite gift so far was definitely my new Ninja Coffee Bar – hopefully it’ll keep me away from Starbucks! #theaddictionisreal As far as the girls go, they haven’t really picked a clear favorite (everything is strewn out all over our living room and hearth room) and they prefer to steal each other’s toys. 😉 Now that Christmas is over, we are all very much looking forward to getting Blair’s cast off on FRIDAY! Yay!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
