Gym Intimidation

well okay, so i started this blog in hopes to track my fitness journey and it quickly turned into an everything else blog...  which is totally fine with me because i love to write and share about whatever! but in all reality, i love fitness!!

i love the way i feel when i am active and eating healthy!! it makes a huge difference in so many aspects of my life! i feel confident in my skin, i have energy, i am more productive, i am happier! however, the gym has always always always been super intimidating to me. i am still a beginner and so i don't know my stuff. i'm afraid people will watch me and judge me for not doing things right or for not being super toned and muscly!!

my favorite person!!

the husband and i have been trying to spend more quality time together the last few weeks.  it amazes me how much we get sucked into the busy-ness of life!! taking that much needed time together is so essential to a happy, successful relationship.

Motivational Monday!!

Happy Monday Friends!!! I am jumping off to a slow start this afternoon with getting my blog post up!! it's been a busy morning! we had a healthy breakfast, i ran to the gym (check out my snap chat for the next 24 hours to see my quick gym sesh! sarahegg28) grabbed a smoothie and have been playing non stop with my girls. monday's always feel like a fresh start to me, whether i have been completely slacking on my goals or want to push harder to achieve new ones!! I always start on a monday!

Balancing Mom Life

i have yet to figure out how to balance the whole mom life. almost three years into it, plus 2 babes later!! i've never figured out how some moms do it all. their house is perfect and spotless, laundry is done, folded + put away, homemade dinner is always on the table, they are dressed and ready for the day and on top of all of that they are always doing fun activities with their kids!!

it used to bother me. like a lot, a lot! how could they do it and i couldn't? i've learned that they don't show the non-perfect aspects of their life, to stop comparing and be grateful with the life i have!! and i am! i am so so grateful for this little life we have together!

 

Zoo Fail

sometimes i try to be a fun mom and take the girls out and about to get them out of the house.  this morning i attempted to do something fun with them.  we got dressed, and headed out the door! the hogle zoo finally has the baby lions out + the weather today was perfect so i figured it would be a great zoo day!

Lagoon Season Passports!

happy tuesday friends!! today i am sharing photos from our lagoon day this past weekend! we decided to purchase season passes this year since we just moved close by, and we are super excited we did! 

My Favorite Highlighting Pallet

i have been searching for the perfect highlight for seriously MONTHS now.  way too long!! i've been wanting to purchase Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop since the day it came out, but for some reason i just can't bring myself to spend the $38 on the one item! as much as i really want to! one day i will....

10 things to do in utah

heeeeeeeyyy friends!! so today's post is all about attractions in the northern part of utah.  we live just outside of salt lake city and have our entire lives. now that we have little munchkins- we want to be sure we let them explore and experience all the fun things that we did growing up!

so i put together a list of our top ten favorite things to do in northern utah!! don't you worry we'll get to the southern half, because honestly down south is my favorite! ;)

Apple Watch Review

when apple first announced the Apple Watch, i thought it was kind of dumb. when most of us already have a smart phone, computers or laptops and ipads- why would we need watches too? but i also didn't really know all the features the apple watch includes.

Bath Time

our girls love bath time around here, i mean what kid doesn't?! scotti is a little fish and now that olive is getting older she is so much easier to get clean. we recently moved into a new home, in the master bath we have a large bath tub that can literally fit all four of us.

Chick-Fil-A Lunch Date

keeping the girls happy and busy is one of my main goals everyday as a mom. when they're happy and having fun they are less likely to throw tantrums (but don't get me wrong it still happens!) and when they are busy they are more likely to sleep better. am i right or am i right?!

Colorado Business Trip

we took a little road trip to colorado to do another bid for business and we decided to take the girls with us! they did pretty amazing on the drive there.  we got into town around 8:30 pm and met up with some friends for dinner! we ended up at buffalo wild wings.  it was so much fun to see them!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

i wanted to wish a very happy mother's day to all the mother's in the world! to all the amazing motherly examples around me. my mom, my mother in law, my sister in laws and grandmothers! to all the working mothers, the stay at home mothers, the mother's doing it alone.  the mother's to be, the mother's who are trying to become mother's but can't.  you are all strong, beautiful women!! and i hope today you are spoiled and get the chance to enjoy this day!!

i am grateful that these two precious, beautiful girls made me a mother!! motherhood truly leaves me speechless. i never knew a love like this existed, that my heart could love so much!! they make my life joyful and meaningful.

Las Vegas Road Trip

last week, the hubs and i took a little road trip down to Las Vegas without the little humans!! dave had a job to bid out and it so happened to be our anniversary so i tagged along! i'd have to say it was my favorite little road trip together thus far. (we don't get out much! ;)) 

we arrived just after dinner time, so we checked into the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa and got all settled and then went down to grab something to eat and check out the resort.  we ended up going to see Batman vs. Superman and then called it a night!
