Weekend Wrap-up

This Week: was New Years week! this last week was a big family reunion here in our city (because my parents live not too far off), so Christmas day and the day after everyone started trickling in to make a full group of about 50 people! We had a full family reunion last January, so seeing everyone together not even a full year later when they live all over the states all the way to the east coast was a treat. Lots of confusion and chaos for sure, but mixed with plenty of sweet and fun moments! I think that my little clan was the only ones to not get a couple different cold and flu bugs, which is so sad for everyone else but so lucky for us with little baby lydia! Winter is the season for diseases huh? haha Okay away from the sad stuff:)
You might have seen some updates and mentions on the blog and on instagram, but I've been anxious to start working out again as soon as my midwife cleared me to (at 6 weeks post partum), and it has felt so amazing to get back into a routine! Martin's been working out all the time, but once I did we decided to start eating better, cleaner, more often, and have been doing awesome with extra water, vitamins, and we just feel so great! I have tons of fitness and health related posts coming where I'll address all of your questions and cover all the basics, so feel free and ask because now's the time!

  7. Happy birthday! It's my birthday, too. How do you find the time to go to a gym? I'm at home (30 minutes from any gym) full-time with six kids, homeschooling, doing the house-wife stuff, and do well to get a run in three times a week.
