Life According to Instagram

1. New hair-do. I love it. It's the perfect spring touch for me. Also, my hair has been getting so long, I love it. // 2. A fell asleep while I was changing him, so I quickly finished and left him there until he woke up (only 15 minutes later) // 3. He always looks so cute when he is sleeping. I also love those pants. He doesn't tend to like sleeping in his crib very much. He has been lately liking laying on me, nonstop. // 4. I'm obsessed with elephants and my baby, so duh. // 5. #fromwhereisit at the dog park in the back of our apartment complex. It was such a perfect day, with perfect weather that I had to take the dog out and put sweet A in his Moby wrap and go for a stroll. It put him right to sleep, which was much needed. 

Coffee Talk // Cold Coffee

Sometimes you pour yourself a cup of coffee expecting it to be hot, or at least warm, with your first sip but it ends up being frigid. That happens a lot around here lately. Taking care of sweet Xander is more important and always comes first. I've learned to live without coffee, but those mornings that I do get it are something special. This morning was a morning like no other, it was cold, but I appreciated it. When I had it, I got 15 minutes to myself. Those precious 15 minutes were everything I needed to motivate myself for the rest of the day. It was perfect.  

Fitness Goals // Healthy Choices

The hardest thing, for me, is going to the grocery store while I'm trying to eat healthy. All the endless unhealthy and junky snacks make me want to grab everything and just munch away. Therefore, I have to train my mind to avoid those aisles unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to go down them. 

But, it isn't just avoiding those aisles that is going to make you want to eat healthy. If it worked like that, I would never have a problem with my weight. EVER. The key is finding healthy foods that you like. Whether it be carrots, brussels sprouts, watermelon, apples or whatever; you have to take the time to figure out what you like and get it. 

I'm still trying to figure all that out, if it was easy, then I'd honestly probably be bored. 

I'm never one to just eat a carrot, especially raw and without ranch; so I let myself eat them with ranch or else I just wouldn't be able to do it. And what's a little ranch going to do? Kill you? No, I don't think so. Well, unless you're allergic to something in it. 

What are some of your favorite nutritional snacks?
