It has come to my attention that, while I've been neglecting my new blog, I've been spending waaaaaaaaaay too much time on Facebook. However every time I get on here I get instant writers block, mentally drooling all over my brain because I honestly can't think of anything particularly interesting or witty to say. THIS ENDS TODAY. So I'll be writing more often. I promise. Pinky promise. And since my writing skills are uber rusty I'm just gonna mention some new things I've been doing and learning lately.
Weight loss after having a new baby is a pain in the...everywhere. Especially when you can't starve yourself with nifty diets because you're nursing and need the nutrients to feed your little citizen. So I've had to eat healthier, which I honestly don't like very much. I could lie to myself and say I love vegetables but I don't. Most vegetables taste like dirt to me. I get used to it once I'm in the "eating healthy zone", but it's expensive and time consuming and I WANT ICE CREAM ALL THE TIME! But recently I found a little trick to help out with my sweet tooth without completely conquering my laziness. I've discovered Juicy Juice Fruit Punch. It is the best tasting 100% juice in my price range that I've had so far and it's even better in slushy form. I take an entire container and put it in the freezer in the morning. After an hour I take it out, shake it, and have an instant frozen treat that doesn't give me the guilt of a milkshake. I told you I was lazy.
I've been turning off the TV more and more often around the kiddies these days. It's super difficult, and often annoying, but looking back on it I'm glad of it. I'm not one of those people who will ever get rid of their TV altogether "for the sake of the children", but I've been limiting it and really enjoying the time spent playing with my kiddos, mostly Eilee, my two year old. She's obsessed with princesses, which is cute and all, but I've been trying to expand her horizons and have her pretend to be more of an adventurer. She doesn't like it as much, which is funny because when I was a kid I desperately wanted to be Scruff McGruff and "take a bite outta crime." Not really because I wanted to fight bad guys, I just thought it'd be cool to become a talking dog.
I had more to say, and I probably would spend a decent amount of time correcting my grammar mistakes and basic writing faux pas, but as my darling oldest child is demanding a lollipop in the bathtub, I'd best call it a day.
