Hi everyone! I thought I would make an update on happenings. My husband and I had a beautiful baby boy about three years ago and we couldn't be happier. My other child is already 7 years old which is surprising at how quickly the time has gone. I've enjoyed watching them grow up so much and it gives a lot of satisfaction to my life. I wouldn't trade any of it for another life. 

My family has not been able to relocate to a new area but that's okay. All of our other family is nearby and it would be difficult to see them less than we already do. I have a close cousin that I used to see all the time but they moved away years ago and now we rarely talk. I'm worried that could happen if my husband and I went too far away. Maybe that's just silly to think but since I've seen it happen it just has me worried. I know that it is a different situation of course but still. 

The kiddos will be going into school soon, it's about that time of the year. It makes me happy but also sad because I'll see them less but I also enjoy the quiet time away from them as well of course. As most mothers would understand now and then. I'll be able to get more finished around the house. It's also the first year that they'll both be in schooling, pre-school and public school. 

I've been watching a lot of new movies at the theater and really enjoy that. I probably go twice a month at least if not more often than that. I'm also addicted to documentaries still and Netflix and other streaming services have added so many engaging ones. I wrote an old blog post about documentaries that's interesting to look back on.

I've still been very active and moving around often. I've lost a bit more weight since my last posts and I haven't had any trouble eating healthier. In fact I think it's become a part of who I am and my daily routine. The hardest part about it was making it seem normal. I'm really glad I love so many vegetables now and have no trouble keeping weight off. I also still enjoy my Vitamix blender but use it less than I used to, well, I guess it's every week just not daily. I'll add a YouTube link of a Vitamix recipe I just love so much. ​

Okay so I'm not good at keeping up with my website. I just haven't been able to sit down and actually write. Don't worry though because I'll surely be able to make new posts more often from now on. The summer is winding down a bit and I have less going on. I still appreciate all of the random visitors that are reading my posts. Hopefully they're helpful and you enjoy your time here. I know obviously I need to write way more articles, but don't worry, I'm working on it in my spare time. I wish there were like 30 hours in the day instead of only 24. I feel like I'd be able to get so much more done. Does anyone else agree with me? I mean I love sleep but I want to get stuff done finally. It's time to slow the rotation of the Earth!

I suppose I've been doing decent with all of my goals. Every now and then I'll skip over a healthy meal or exercise, but for the most part I've been staying motivated. It's just so difficult trying to exercise all the time or always avoiding delicious food. There's definitely a difference between the flavor of delicious food and healthy food. I have found many great dishes to make and prepare in my blender but I feel like I need a wider variety lol I should be able to login more often and write new articles for everyone. Just make sure to keep visiting at random times to catch the new posts. Thanks again!

I'm going to have a movie night with a bunch of girls. It's going to be a mixture of romantic movies and horror movies lol It's too bad they don't have any romantic horror movies to appease everyone in the group. I guess horror romance is another genre they need to start filling! It should be a lot of fun though and I haven't done this for about 5 years, sounds crazy I know. As we got older we just haven't had the time to get together unfortunately. I'll make another post after it's all said and done, to let everyone know how it goes.

There are a lot of different things I'd like to be doing but don't have time for. I'm thinking I might start taking some more classes at the local college so I can finish my bachelor degree. I only need like 14 more credits and I'd be done. I've looked it up though and I'm not sure if I'd wanna do online course or what, really hard to say. I'm a social person but I really don't have time to always be in class. I don't know it's just something I've been thinking about and I have the money for it. I just lack the time to go do it.

I really love using Netflix, in fact I watch it every night before I go to bed. I think my favorite genre is probably the documentary category. I just watched one last night about how companies prepare and harvest our food and I'm about ready to just become a vegan. Not really though because I do like protein filled meats. It's just crazy the amount of things they do just to get food into the grocery store or restaurant. I'll try posting a link to one I saw, here click this. I hope it works!
I also saw some documentaries about fruits and juicing that were pretty interesting. My sister actually bought a juicer to try something she saw on one of the documentaries. She said it was horrible and she needed more food lol I'm looking to eat better, partially due to the videos and information I've seen. After looking it up online though I think I'll just get a powerful blender instead of a juicer. That way I can make other things in it too, including smoothies which is what I want! Some brands are really expensive though. I read through some reviews comparing different brands, the popular ones apparently. After reading a whole bunch of things I'll probably end up getting this, a Vitamix blender. I was thinking about just going with a Ninja blender since they're like 1/3rd the cost of others and seem like they're just as powerful but I don't know. Maybe they're not AS good, but good enough for what I'd use it for? Especially daiquiris and cocktails during parties. I'll just keep looking I guess.

I'm a huge fan of writing yet I've procrastinated on actually starting a blog over the years. My friends are like, come on just join, so here I am. I don't really know what to even talk about so I think I'll just ramble, since I'm absolutely a beast at that. I guess this will be my opening speech about my life or something. My name is Carol, that's about all you'll get to discover about my personal info for now =) 

I'm really hoping to accomplish a ton of things this year. Seeings how last year wasn't so amazing haha One of my friends told me to make an agenda for myself each day. That way I can stay organized and on top of everything I have to do. I told them I might need a trapper keeper for the amount I need to do! I have high hopes though so let's see how I do.
