My Baby Girl

I originally started this blog to talk about my life, and I think I do a good job at that. Sometimes I'll have ridiculously funny stories and other times not so much. Although I do have a weekend recap to do, I just wanted to dedicate this blog to one little gal I know won't read it, my Harper Maryann. Last night as I was snuggling my Boo Bear (she won't sleep in her crib, I complain but I secretly love having her in our room) I just started thinking how truly blessed I am. This little thing loves me so unconditionally that sometimes the magnitude takes my breath away. There are millions of people in this world who won't ever be able to have children, millions more who abuse that privilege (and it is a privilege IMO) and to realize I'm one of the few that get to experience mommyhood is such a HUGE deal! So, I dedicate my blog to my sweet girl. Miss Harper Maryann who is 29 weeks old today. She's starting solids, making messes, rolling all over kingdom come, won't sit still to save my life and smiles all the time. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love her to the moon and back! 

#thestruggleisreal LENT

 I'm going to break from my life and talk about Lent. Being Catholic, I'm given the opportunity to give up something every year to reflect on the sacrifices Jesus made for me and everyone else in the world. I kind of love the Lenten Season. As much as I struggle with giving up something, I do truly strive to become a better person and reflect. I encourage all my sweet readers to do the same this Lenten Season. After all, Jesus died for us, don't we owe some reflection over the magnitude of that sacrifice?! Soap box over. Here's what I plan to do this Lent!! 

That's right people, this very happy carnivore

is becoming a vegetarian  actually I will still 

eat seafood!

Since you don't have to give up anything for Lent

I've decided to stop taking my body for granted

and start hitting the gym! It's time to lose this

baby weight!!

And finally I'm going to start going to church

every Sunday. There really isn't a reason why

I can't go, I just get lazy. 

I hope you all have an amazing Lenten Season. In the mean time today is Mardi Gras. Happy Fat Tuesday, everyone! Load up on what you're giving up and have a blast doing it! My sis is in Nola right now living it up!!! For everyone else, have fun at work and remember...

Lassiez les bons temps rouler!

"Go See The Mardi Gras"
