My life today

I took my son to the park today and I was really able to see his growth. We have this wonderful park near our home and haven't been back since winter. We went all the time last year and he would toddle around, graduate to the mini slides, and chuck the bark. But today I saw him climb, run, balance and use the biggest twirl slide there. His babyhood is behind us and we are in full blown toddler mode.

It should come with a warning label lol if it did I imagine it would read like this,

Warning: do not engage when tired or hungry.

Caution when tantrums ensue.

Do not show fear.

Pick your battles wisely. 

Sticky fingers not optional.

Look out for flying projectiles.

Silence is not a good thing. 

Caution will steal your heart.

So cute its hard to stay mad.

Warning you will fall hard (in love)

Tiny hugs are the best

And being called mommy will melt you into a puddle of mush

Yes toddlers are like pendulums. Back and forth from monster to I have the cutest kid ever. Being a mom is the best. I love it all. There are days I cherish, days I want over, days I cry cause it goes to fast and days I wish I could hold onto forever.

Today is one of those days. My son is two and is growing up so fast. Today gave me a glimpse of the boy he's changing into and the man ill meet one day. So I'm grateful for these moments of clarity, that I can just be in the moment, love where he is and know I'm gonna miss this one day.

Life tips

You know when your kid and you can't wait to grow up. To stay up late eat candy all day and dance around to your favorite tunes. Lol basically kids want to be kids but with no rules. Funny how when you grow up you go to bed cause your tired, and naps are missed, and you only eat ice cream when your stressed. 

I wish I could have maybe appreciated childhood more. The endless days of play and care free moments. Not saying it wasn't without stress or hard times. But I really didn't have the amount of responsibility I do now. 

So as adults how can we be more spontaneous, be more silly, play games, have fun and enjoy life more? 

Well some tips I've found that have really helped me are:

1: PRAY, let The Lord help carry your burdens, he really well help.

2: STRETCH, BREATH, LAUGH, sometimes five minutes to just be quiet or laugh stretch and breath does wonders.

3: GO OUTSIDE, seems simple and duh but seriously sunshine and fresh air help center us and bring a new energy to our souls.

4: YOGA/MEDITATION: taking some time for you and just focus on breathing, and exercise is very helpful to release stress.

5: LEARN TO SAY NO, this one has been the hardest for me. I am a people pleaser and I don't like to say no. But I'd find myself saying he's yes yes and feeling stretched to thin tired cranky and not happy. Do what you can but its healthy to say NO once in awhile.

6: DRINK WATER, drink lots listen to your body and drink it down :) to make it more fun freeze berries into ice cubes or add a lemon or cucumber yummy.

Hope these tips help and remember the perks to being an adult use em or lose em.

Life Questions?

Howdy,

So i have some QUESTIONS?

Q1: what drives us, emotions, logic or a internal value system. For me it's abit of all three but I feel I must stick first with my value system even when it makes others uncomfortable or offended. In today's world that can happen alot.

Q2: Why do I seem to really be broken hearted over certain injustices that the rest of the world seems to choose blindness to? I realize ignorance is bliss and now I avoid the news etc but some things should be fought for, like child abuse, or sex slavery, or even our food and how it's being produced. Not saying our food system is as bad as se slavery but it is pretty bad.

Q 3: how do I be a good friend? I am a friend to others how I want to be treated or how I feel they want me to treat them but I also feel like I may not be what others want from me! Anyone else feel this way ;)

Q 4: how do we find true peace and love for all? Still working on this one post soon when I find it if I can type on the other side. 

Q 5: what is matter, spiritually speaking, energy, stardust etc? I realize we are made from this but what is this exactly. I'm not anxious to die but I know when I do I'll have a bigger list of questions. 

Q 6: Why does a rhino have such a big horn? 

Thanks to google I was able to learn why!

"Some kinds of rhinos use their horns for self-defense. (Those who don’t have sharp front teeth that they use instead.) Rhinos also use their horns forguiding younger rhinos and showing them where to go, for digging in the ground, and for attracting other rhinos! 

Rhino horns are a little bit different than those of most other horned animals, whose horns are attached to the their skulls, because the horns on a rhino are not! Instead of being part of the skull bone, rhinos’ horns are made of something called “keratin” -- it’s the same thing your hair and fingernails are made from! -- Cool!"

Q 7: why does Edward love Bella? In all the books I still can't figure this one out, don't get me wrong i love twighlight  and am glad  Stephenie Meyer is a love Goddess, but in reality I don't think so....I. Not team anyone cause I love them both, but in real life Jacob is the better choice. Anyway this question certainly isn't very deep but it is interesting lol
