{Week 5: Loving Life and Having Fun… goals inspired by Lauren from Busy Bee…}
{1. See the beauty in the little things: A big thing for me is to realize that when my baby has one of her many random meltdowns… it’s just such a tiny short time… and, she’s just learning how to express herself. Man, those meltdowns are hard though. :)}
{2. Simply dress for me everyday: Dress how I want to feel. Put something nice on. It’s ok to wear jammies every once in a while… but, I need to put real clothes on. The days I go to Starbucks to work… I put makeup on and wear real clothes… just like I’m going to a real job.}
{3. Don’t say anything negative about anyone for a week: This is something I really try hard at. I don’t like being negative… but, sometimes it pops out. I like to be nice to everyone if I can.}
{AND… I’m even leaving a kind note for anyone that finds or steals my camera… By the way: I got this fun idea from Andrew McDonald. He wrote a blog post about creating a pictorial guide to camera loss. I’m going to transfer these photos over to my camera… to live on there FOREVER! 🙂 I followed his same basic layout… but, just adjusted/changed some of the wording.}

In addition to my awesome new camera strap… Ruari received a little goody in the mail…. 😀 The little custom doll I ordered from Rice Babies! I absolutely LOVE it! She totally customized it for me… the colors I wanted… the tattoos… the hair in the flower… AND: she made matching headbands for Ruari and the dolly (which hasn’t really been named yet… she keeps calling it Coco. Coco is what she calls her FBFF (Forced Best Friend Forever) Coral. So… maybe it’s a mini Coral? 😀 Sorta looks like her.

The ALWAYS sweet Danielle from Sometimes Sweet started this inspiring 8 Weeks to a Better Me blog series. Each week an inspiring blogger chooses three inspiring things to do in their lives based on a certain topic. From their… we, the readers… can join in and follow Danielle’s 3 prompts for the week (which you can totally change each prompt to work for you).
I had EVERY intention of following this weekly and keeping up with it… but, as life would have it: I didn’t. We are now hitting week 5. While I did DO some of the prompts listed… I haven’t blogged about them. Today: I blog. This post is a quick catch up to the previous 4 weeks of 8 Weeks to a Better Me.
Week 1: Blogging: Inspired by the lovely couple Local Honey and Adeline’s Daddy…
1) Blog about one local restaurant that I love.
One of our favorite family friendly restaurants to wander to is the Lucky Lab. It’s a local brewery/pizza pub. And, SUPER family friendly. We love it. And, when we can… and if it’s a nice day we like to head over to have a drink and a slice of pizza… all while sitting outside. 🙂

2) Take my camera out more than I already do to capture more day to day moments.
So… I totally stayed with this goal because… well: I’m crazy about my camera. AND…. I’m already taking at least one photo EVERY day this year. AND: I haven’t fallen behind! Yay me! Here’s a link to my flickr 365. I still need to tag some more photos for it… but, I haven’t missed a day yet!

3) Finish the guest posts that are on my plate.
Yes…. so, I’m still working on this! I am a little behind. 🙂 But, so far everyone that I’m behind on getting my guests posts too… are very sweet. 😀 I’m working on them! 😀 Here’s a guest post I finished that week for Little Gray Pixel for a Mother’s Day series.
Week 2: Fitness and health: Inspired by the beautiful Amber from I Love You to the Moon…
1) Switch out two of my gym days for outdoor exercise. (I need more fresh air!)
My gym these days is in my living room… I’ve been doing the 30 Day Shred from Jillian Michael’s for the last month. I get up at 5:30am… press snooze for like 30 minutes… :)… then I work out. The weather has been so crappy it’s really hard to get out and exercise outside. But, I do try and take Ruari on a walk when it’s not raining. 🙂
2) Change my eating habits.
And, I did. I eat smaller portioned meals more often throughout the day. I basically eat like 7 times a day. And, I’m totally satisfied. And, drink LOTS of water… that’s a hard one to remember.
3) Walk Angus more.
My poor little Chihuahua is getting a little chunky. He needs more exercise. I haven’t done so well on this goal. The weather getting better would help.
Week 3: Healthy eating: Inspired by the lovely Tracy of Shutterbean…
Alright! I caught myself up! Yay! Week 5 coming soon… 🙂
