It’s Friday!!

March 14, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

What a great weeeeeek!!!! Yesterday, I found out I had some credit on my Gap Card and that there was a 40% sale at Gap for card members. SCORE! I could keep “saving money” but shop as well. You know that girl shopping math. I bought this demin jacket (here’s the pic on Instagram) but after coming home realized it was too big. I think I’ve got prego body dysmorphic or something. I’ll be going back today for an exchange b/c I really love it!

1. I got featured on The Grits Blog’s Little Friday Favorites for The Monthly FEMALE Normal this past week!!!

Little Friday
 
2. Oh I made something delicious this week. Recipe to come soon. This almond meal is my new secret ingredient. 
Trader Joe's almond meal
3. Ok , here are some surprise baby births for you. The women who “didn’t know they were pregnant” stories never cease to amuse me. I laugh but I guess this could potentially happen to me one day….
 
4. Smoothies are a part of every day California life! This one is blueberry, mango, banana, almond milk and greek yogurt. mango blueberry banana yogurt smoothie
 
5. The $200 H&M Giveway is still going!

 
a Rafflecopter giveaway

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!

      Thank you!!! OMG LOVING the new Old Navy ads! They have really great deals on maternity stuff and I am looking forward to more non-maternity stuff in a few months!!! Sales must make that gambling area of our brains light up or something, right!?

    Ah! It DOES look like you had a great week!! Ok – yeah the whole being pregnant without knowing you have a baby inside of you is all too weird for me – I cannot wrap my brain around it???? Oh well, there are enough stories I guess, to know that i can happen 🙂 And ohhhh….I miss Trader Joe’s so much! I didn’t know they had almond meal and that GF flour! I need to get those! I pass on TJ’s here in NYC because it’s like, 10x more crowded than Whole Foods (and WF’s still gets sooo crowded!) The line at TJ’s is usually like, wrapping the entire store x2. 🙁 Hope you have a lovely weekend, darling friend!! xo

      OMG, LA Trader Joes are SO crowded too! I’m still getting used to it. In San Diego, it was a leisurely trip and now I know when to go and how to zoom! I love hearing about life in different places. I need to appreciate my little crowded TJs! It’s never more than 3 deep in the lines! These two products are incredible. Have a great weekend!

    When it comes to shopping girl logic trumps all rational logic. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

      Totally. I have so many shopping rules and math, I’ve probably only repeated each one like 2 times in my life. 🙂

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
