Oh BABYmoon

February 3, 2014 · In: BABY, Motherhood, Travel, Uncategorized

Thank you so much for your awesome comments, likes and encouragement this past week while we were on vacation! It feels so great! I tried to respond during but had some technical difficulties and caught up this weekend. 

This cruise started in Puerto Rico and was a whirlwind of 5 different Carribean Islands. Here’s the Siboney Beach Club in Antigua. This was one of our favorite places. It was a small restaurant/bar with palapa roofing, a few beach chairs, umbrellas and calm waters.

I’m a little fleshier than I used to be. This photo is entitled, “Keiko the Killer Whale Goes to the Caribbean.” #nofilter.IMG_3397This was a last minute trip and since I’m too cheap to buy a maternity suit, I found this “tummy camouflage” suit at Marshalls for $24.99. It was basically like a wetsuit with like 3 layers of fabric and LOTS of rouching in the torso but it did the trick. It however required 14 hours to completely dry. 

Here’s Chris as we sit for some lunch.

Due to jet lag, we were up at 5:30 a.m. yesterday and I was off to cleaning and organizing the house with a new fervor. Here’s to an extra OCD few months ahead! I feel so lucky to have a husband who is SO into vacations.

    Aw! I’m so glad you had such a wonderful vacation! You guys totally deserve it!! I’ve only been to Puerto Rico, but I can only imagine how beautiful the rest of the Caribbean islands are!! However, i don’t know if I can do cruises…I get seasick! Oh, and I’m totally OCD too, I write this as I just finished cleaning my office desk from head to toe.:)

      Thank you! I used to get sick on the big Navy ship I was on too! That was awkward. Luckily the cruise ships are pretty steady and if you get a lot of stops you really are only on the seas at night! Amen to OCD sisters!!!

Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I ea Comment MEALS and I’ll send you my free “What I eat in a day” to lose 25 pounds.

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

Follow @christinajwarren if you enjoy finding ways to be empowered in your life, no matter what is going on around you.
How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.
