Playing catch up - Life these days!


Hello? Hello? Anyone there? I know, I have been neglecting the blog. I feel like all I post about anymore is baby related content, and while that has become a huge part of my life, obviously, I am still me... ALYCIA and I need to be better about posting about my life and everything that it includes. It is funny, I thought for some reason that becoming a "stay at home" mom I would have all this extra time, but the reality is I am working more than full time from home, and have an endless list of projects that need to get done. While looking back, the structure of my day was always laid out for me; with full time jobs, and a set class schedule. I had to work my day around those priorities, and those priorities filled up my entire day.

Now that I work for myself and from home I am in charge of managing when something gets done, and when it doesn't. This of course is a great freedom, but at the same time, can show you your weaknesses and makes certain things get pushed to the side for too long. I have also found that working for myself has caused this push to always be working. The work is never done! Before, I would get off work and be done for the day. I would totally "shut off" and now I feel like my brain is constantly running. It is a side of working for myself I hadn't totally anticipated. While I still need to learn the balance of it all, I have been trying to have a life too! Why is it so easy as a new parent to just stay inside all day? I have made a goal to try and get out and do something fun with my friends weekly!

Recently me and my good friend Lisa took our little girls and hiked to Donut Falls. We were surprised to see so much snow in the mountains, and our entire hike was spent trying not to slip in the slushy snow! haha It was an adventure to say the least, and our girls were such troopers. We then hit up lunch at one of my favorite local spots called The Wild Zucchini. If you are ever around you should try them - their wraps are the best. If you follow me on Snap Chat you probably watched the whole fiasco. Snap Chat has recently become my newest addiction and I am always trying to convince my friends to get on it. I avoided it for years, but my good friend Jalynn talked me into it and I have been addicted since! I have always loved vlogs on YouTube and I feel like this is such a more practical way to do that. I had started "vlogging" a bit when Ella was born because I have the home video idea of journaling, but have felt Snap Chat is a much more practical way for me to do that. So head on over if you want daily content about what is up! Currently me and my friend Jalynn have been documenting our journey through the BBG workouts!

I have missed this space to just share my life and my thoughts. I am committing now to bring that effort back into my blog. Thanks for sticking along all this time! I really appreciate the community and connections I have made online. This past week I went to a Shine Event party hosted by some of my friends and a long time reader of my blog came by to say hi to me. Abby (hopefully I spelled your name right) if you are reading this, THANK YOU! It really made my day! Really. It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind, and her just chatting with me reminded me how special this online space can be. We can connect and share with each other, and that is pretty cool. I don't want to lose sight of that. So again, thank you for reading, and sharing in the journey with me! I hope you all take a little slice of this internet pie for yourself too, because there is plenty to go around, and there is always someone out there who would love to connect with you! 

P.S. I am hosting a giveaway on my Instagram for your choice of bib sets from Lunaby Baby! Each Bib Set comes with a free Pacifier Clip as well. Super easy entries as always! Check it out.

  2. Many people both men and women think if a woman is a stay at home mum she has oodles of time to do stuff and spends most of her day doing very little, then they give it a go and discover how much work is involved with being a stay at home mum and that increases when mum is working from home as well

  5. how i got my ex boyfriend back after a break-up.
    I'm Alvin Lee 21 yr old from UK,
    My boyfriend left me when i was 7months pregnant. A week after he left, I found out he was dating someone who posted a picture of him kissing her in facebook and that she “loves this man”. I am sick to my stomach. I want him back I do not want to be apart much less separated. I love my boyfriend and I want to fight for him. I’m so scared of losing him. i knew my boyfriend and i also know that some thing else was involve on this, when i found out that this Girl use a Black magic spell on my boyfriend just to take him away from me, i was so devastating this as a result also destroyed my heart and soul because i love my boyfriend and i really want to get back with him i have seek for different counselling, nor could work out for me so i started given up on my boyfriend because there was no hope on getting back with him. one faithful night after my work,, I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested Dr.Unity can help get ex back fast, restore broken relationships and stop a divorce. So, I felt I should give him a try.
    I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do, and i did it and he did a {love spell} for me. 11hours later, my boyfriend called me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. Thank you Dr Unity for saving my broken relationships and brought my boyfriend back to me!"..
    Me and my boyfriend are living together happily again. Dr.Unity is the best online spell caster that is powerful and genuine. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you.
