So, I haven't written much. And mainly because I didn't want to jinx it. But life has been awesome!!!
Factors that have added up to the awesomeness.
1. I am officially a macrobiotic woman!!! This past fall I read The Hip Chicks Guide to Macrobiotics and Glow and got totally hooked. Since, I have been cooking macrobiotics meals everyday for past three months and feel totally awesome! I've lost 10lbs, my skin looks great, and my mood has been fabulous!!! I know it sounds like a diet commercial, but it's so much more than that. I feel so much more whole and balanced. It has really created a fabulous mood to our home. I love it.
2. My kids are getting easy. I don't know if it is their preschool, their age, or this ScreamFree parenting book that I read this past fall, but it has been so fun being their mom lately!!! From taking Lily to preschool, to watching Peter swim by himself for the first time, to playing trains with them, I totally love the stage that they are both in. Peter has seemed to turn a corner and is much easier to communicate with and the two of them are embracing a much friendlier relationship with one another. It has been very fun to watch.
3. Our home is much cozier. Mike and I painted the interior of our home warm bright green, red, and tan colors this past fall. It has really made staying inside with the kids this winter a real treat. There is nothing like color to brighten your mood. It has made our house feel more like a home and less like a dorm room. It has been awesome.
4. At 28, I finally feel good about where I am...and who I am for that matter. It has taken me a long time to get here, but I am finally content to just be. For the longest time, I kept thinking all I needed was the next thing.... i.e. the clothes, house, car, baby, time, job, friend etc. But it seems that one day recently, all that faded away, and I found that I was just content with this... My life.. My family. Me. I like it. I hope it stays this way.
Overall, I feel at real peace with life lately. I just want to bottle up this time and save it in a bottle for safe keeping. These moments are golden...and fleeting...all at the same time. I love my life.
