when you realize you've made it

So - I have finally caught up. Maybe not completely, but I have come a long way. I owe a lot of that to working out. I may not SEE any results as of yet, but I can definitely feel them.

I'm currently on that BBG kick that the whole world is talking about. If you don't know about it, talk to your friends and I guarantee that at least 6/10 have either heard about it or are doing it themselves. If you look up Kayla Itsine's Instagram page you can see all of the insane results that other people have posted. NOTE: I will not be posting pictures of my before & after. I love seeing everyone else's, but I just can't. Nope.

As I was saying, working out has seriously helped me be a better mom, employee, and (I think) wife.

Our life as of now - I am currently relaxing after taking a nice bath (my therapy sessions), while Ben plays a few rounds of Call of Duty (his therapy sessions) and Luca dreams away with his tiny little snores (they are the cutest). I never knew how much I appreciated 'me-time' until I became a mom. Being a mother is sincerely one of the GREATEST gifts I have ever been given, but at the end of the day, those quiet moments where you can lay down and relax on a big comfy bed are more rewarding than ever before!

Our Luca baby is probably the sweetest kid around. He has become the center of our world. We started calling him 'Master Luca' because it's pretty clear that he runs the show. I'm hoping our young Jedi will start to get on a better napping schedule during the day because working around his cat naps is not always easy. Luckily, when he does wake up too soon from a nap and his adoring mother still has some work left to do, he will gladly accept an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Yes, we are raising a Disney baby.

All of our troubles aside, I am one happy lady. I have a wonderful husband who loves and understands me and pushes me to be my best self. I have a happy, joyful little babe who I get to hang out with every day. I have a pretty sweet job that allows me to be a mom and do what I love. What more can a girl ask for? Sure, most days there are piles of soiled clothing waiting to be washed, a cranky tired baby (with a rash that just appeared out of nowhere from who knows what), and a dinner still waiting to be made at 8 PM, but I truly wouldn't have it any other way.

Now - off to enjoy this happy moment before we start all over again tomorrow. (:
