30 Days of No FaceBook

So, things have been very busy around here. I guess, first things first. Shortly after I posted the youtube video for 10 Weeks of Healthy Maternity Hooping I, ironically, miscarried. I was encroaching on my 11th week. I don't want to necessarily get into all the gory details of the situation, we were all very sad, but are doing our best to move on in a healthy way. 

Speaking of health, I've recently decided to go 30 days sans Facebook-- the past few weeks I have felt a lot of extra negativity, and I felt it was best to take a short break. It's a healthy choice for me. I know I will have to eventually go back-- I run Buckleberry Hoops off of Facebook, and I really enjoy having the hooping community close by.

However, after the decision to take my break from the mega social media website I had Kieran over for a Christmas shopping trip, dinner, a movie, and to wrap the presents he bought. We had an amazing time-- I really felt the benefits of not checking my phone constantly, and REALLY being there and enjoying Kieran.

I know that the best way for me to be a truly healthy someday mom, I need to start fine-tuning those practices I want to instill into my children into me. I want to practice a full-living, healthy life-style. I feel the best thing for me to do is to practice being loving with the littles I currently have in my life.

I just feel as if the people in my life shouldn't be an excuse as to why I can't do something-- they are a reason. They are a reason to get my booty up in the morning and lift weights. They are the reason to get up and walk my booty a little more often. They are the reason that regardless of the scale not moving, I remain faithful to making my health a priority, so I can continue caring for the ones around me.  

Hopefully, I'm not coming across as completely cray. I just know that there are some things in life I can't control, my body-- what I put into it, and how I use it as an instrument, is something I can control. I hope in the next 30 days without facebook I am able to really meditate on these thoughts, focus on hooping, and get some goals accomplished. No excuses.

Anyways, I should probably wake Marc up. We are running a bunch of errands today, and trying to get as many things done as possible. But, I also wanted to post some super cute, recent pictures of the kiddos, and some of the pictures I took of me with my Christmas present from Marc. A new LED Hula Hoop. <3

Violet and I made burgers together-- we ground our own meat, and she thought that was the cat's pajamas. 

Violet put my strapless bra on my cat.

Gabriel

He's simply having a wonderful Christmas time. 

Kieran let me style his hair prior to our special date the other night. 

He chose to watch Wayne's World while wrapping gifts he bought his family. 

Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries. 

My friend, Tana, and her mother, Sandra, made the LED.

She is absolutely beautiful.

I hope the next time we're in Eugene Skye and Keith can get some bitching pictures.

I need to think of a name for her. 

I have just been calling her Skittles.

Escalator.
