Happy Friday!

So, in looking at my blog...I realized that it is MOSTLY pictures. Where this is OK, I do want to make sure that I have thoughts about life...fashion...and of course..food & Faith on here. :) Currently...living in CO, loving the scenery, NOT the snow. Too much snow currently. Not many places to go in town with 3 kids where they won't pick up germs...so, we stay inside and I try and entertain with dance parties and crafts. The kids are currently into making bracelets with strips of paper. Kayla and Guinness are getting along pretty well these days. They give me many a headache and stress, but the good outweighs the bad for sure. Kayla can be really sweet and mothering sometimes and Guinness can be a real gentleman. Edyn of course is just a baby...but she is soo sweet. I think she smiles soo much/hard that it hurts her face. :) She is by far my easiest. I think God gave me an easy 3rd, because I can't handle that much more right now.

Fashion: well, I made it my NY resolution, to change my whole wardrobe to something AGE appropriate. I used to be SOO much into American Eagle. Nothing against them..I still do LOVE their jeans. However, I walked in there a couple of weeks ago with my daughter in tow (in a stroller) and you would not BELIEVE how many stares I got. I mean, I know I am not 16 anymore, but...do I look 50 walking in there? I think it was the stroller that made all the girls nervous. :) hahahahahha. I def felf out of place. THEN.....I walked into my newest FAVORITE store....(drum rolls) ANTHROPOLOGIE!!!! This store is sooo choice. I just love the smells, colors, sales women, the couch in the dressing room, the way I feel in that store. It is indescribable. I have gotten into reading some blogs of women who go into Anthro, try on clothes, take pictures of themselves in the clothes and then write reviews. Can I tell you something?.....this is AWESOME!!! It is the most helpful thing for a girl who lives in the middle of nowhere. I mean, to see someone who has similar body shape and taste in clothes..trying on something that you have had your eye on..letting me know that it is TTS (true to size) or size down because they run big.....it is sooo helpful. Thank you to the ladies who do this for us folk who like 3 hours away from the nearest. Fortunatly, I have a friend here who has equally the same amount of love for Anthro, who I can have great fashion conversations with. She also tells me when she has something in her wishlist that is in my size....("do you want me to order it") she says.....sooo nice!!!

Finally food: I just had a baby ok? I am still in the phase of using the excuse of "well, I have to keep my calories up for nursing purposes, so..I will eat". This is dangerous. Where I am not putting weight ON, I am not taking it off either. WIth it 20 degrees outside, so running is out, I don't have any activities I can do outside with 3 kids. By the time Josh gets home...it's dark and FREEZING!!! Anyway, food is my friend and I don't believe in substituting taste for saving calories. Having said that...I do enjoy salad and salmon and shrimp. I usually do Kellogs for breakfast, salmon or shrimp for lunch (with an apple, granola bar and tall glass of water) and for dinner...I go all out. Usually pasta dishes with a heavy cream sauce or....pizza, tacos...that stuff. Josh doesn't benefit from this except to pack on calories, but still......I like my meals. :) I am not going to apologize for it either :) hahahaha.

Faith: where faith and food don't go together, I will say that my faith and walk with the Lord increases every day. I am not bragging about this, but I am excited about it. God is showing me all the time areas of my life that need a fixin. He is currently showing me the power of prayer. Praying for my kids by name...praying for Josh and our marriage, job situation, and parenting together....these are my life. All very important to me! So, why am I not praying about this MORE..??? not sure, but God is showing me how to. He is also showing me the importance of raising my kids, not dictating to them and making them feel small and fearful. I think I do this.....or did this. I am changing remember?

Anyway, this blog is going to change. I will add photos of course, but I want this to be an outlet of expression and comments...please leave your comments and add to the discussion of....parenting biblically, fashion and how to dress age appropriate, and of course MARRIAGE!!!! and food....:)

Have a good weekend readers!
