I sure do LOVE him.......

Cheese!

Its a Brand New Day!

Yesterday I was talking to Heidi and I was telling her all of my frustrations about motherhood. I've just been overwhelmed with my busy body of a child. My main concern was getting ready in the morning. It seems almost impossible to shower, apply make-up, dry my hair and then yes fix my hair. He'll only watch a show for so long and then he's right in the bathroom with me reaking havoc. So getting ready takes 10 times longer. So here were my choices just don't get ready, get ready like I've been doing and give myself anxiety, or get up at 6:30 am and get all ready before he's even up. So that's what I did. I went to bed by 10:30 last night got up at 6:30, got ready down to my shoes, made the bed and was totally ready for the day by 7:20. Bentley woke up by 7:30 perfect timing. Its 9:30 and we've had breakfast, done the dishes, and Bentley's running around outside while I'm writing this blog. Yes I'm outside and its sunny I can hear the birds all around and I couldn't have had a better morning. Another good part if someone rings my doorbell, I don't have to hide because I'm in my robe. Well I'm going to get going now and put on some laundry because a load a day keeps chaos away! Hope you all are having a wonderful day, here's to new habits.

The New Kid on the Block~ Corbin Scott 3-09-09

Isn't he a doll? My really close friend Elisa finally had her little boy! Congratulations!

He weighed in at 7lbs 1oz and 20 inches long. Totally perfect and healthy!

Mommy Elisa is feeling good and her Mom is in town for a couple of weeks to help. She will be so helpful for her.

Elisa let me know if I can help with anything!

A Very Berry Lipstick Smoothie

I love to feed Bentley healthy and I try all the time to make sure he's getting all the nutrition he needs.

He's a very good sport at eating pretty much anything I make for him. This morning I made a yummy berry smoothie that he loved.

A Very Berry Smoothie Recipe:

• 1 Cup Mixed Berries ( I buy the big bag of Rader Farms 3 berry mix at Costco).
• 1/2 Cup Plain or Vanilla yogurt, try to stay away from added sugar and corn syrup. Check the ingredients! Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla is really good. Or Dannon Natural Plain Yogurt is good with a little Xylitol (a sweetner that prevents cavities). You can find it at your health food stores.
• 1Cup 100% Orange Juice.
• 1 Banana. I only had half a banana today and it still tasted great.
• 2T Ground Flax Seed. The key word is ground!
• Blend and Enjoy!
