Friday Loves

May 16, 2014 · In: BABY, Uncategorized

Friday baby gear
Friday baby gear-2Friday baby gear-3Happy happy Friday! 

1. The baby blanket is getting bigger! Here it is half way done! The yarn shop called to let me know the yarn was back in stock and they were holding it for me. It’s not fancy, they had just run out last time I was there and I am almost done with my first skein (roll). Love that the yarn shop calls me. VIP! LOL

2. I really wanted this little Fisher Price Rock and Play Lamb Sleeper when I saw it on The Small Things Blog “baby gear” list many months ago and I received it as a gift from a very dear friend! I am so in love with it. It’s set up next to our bed now.

3. I buy most of our groceries at Trader Joe’s but every once in a while I’ll get organic cereal and a few other items at Whole Foods. Well, yesterday I couldn’t resist picking up this little muslin bib. 

4. I did all the baby laundry this week and it was pretty hilarious seeing how small things turned out. Can you BELIEVE I got this manicure a week ago? It’s not a shellac, it’s just the normal kind. I think she used some fancy topcoat. It had been months since I’d been to get them done. So glad I did!

Um…do you see my extremely swollen hands? Kind of like Minnie Mouse gloves. yay.

5. It has been so dry and we broke out the “baby’s” humidifier. There have been a lot of fires in the San Diego/SoCal area and many people have been displaced. Please keep them in your prayers. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am so happy you came by. Thank you!

BTW Rossmore LA is having a sample sale to clear room for a new line as well as raise $ for a new torch! You can follow her on Instagram to see what’s still available! PS I just got a necklace and I haven’t taken it off. 

Linking up with Lauren!

    I’m so impressed with your knitting skills, and it’s so sweet that he will be wrapped in a blanket made by his mama. And, I’m loving all the gray- sooo perfect for a little boy. You mani color is so pretty and they look freshly painted so that manicure was definitely worth it! I hope you have an awesome weekend Christina!! xoxo

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.
