"that makes you look pregnant" wait....

Here's a few tidbits for your thursday:

***one***

eli is obsessed with phones! he basically climbs everywhere to get a phone or a computer. but what crazy mom lets their kids do that?   haha jk     so to start off, I am a big fan of children not being stimulated all the time. I feel the like world has really disgressed when i look around church or the drs office or see children at home that are always being stimulated. especially as young babies and toddlers that use their parents phones.

I dont let him play with them, but just because. I dont let him play with my phone almost ever, and he cant play with the computer. we dont have a tv, so he doesnt watch any shows. he is a good boy and usually finds tupperware or something to play with all day (which i think is healthy).

but lets come back to it...he is obsessed with phones! he climbs places to get them. he steals other's phones at church or my workout group. he cries when I am on mine texting or something. did i go wrong somewhere, or is every child obsessed with technology like he is??

***two***

you know when its really cold 3 days in a row, so i dont go anywhere? yeah. that was these last few days! I dont understand why i think its so cold since i grew up in the north pole...ok. rexburg, but seriously, where is colder than rexburg??? nowhere! dont even debate!    anyway, I have gotten so much stuff done (especially since I have my depression under control and energy back, i dont just sit around with the blinds closed watching netflix...maybe i should just cancel that since they took off "swiss family robinson" that nate and I were into.)

Anyway, ive been able to get tons of stuff done! I have energy these days and so i decided to get the lists of stuff done that never gets done. You know, like sewing the couch cushion that Eli ripped open? ya...thats what ive done. I also cleaned my whole house! yes. i actually swept, mopped, vaccumed the whole house! and laundry is almost done! look out world for when its warmer! we will have nothing to do ;)

Eli and I leave once a day  to go workout either at the gym with my workout bff's or i put him in the stroller to the gym in our apt complex (here he is with me at the gym, and no i am not the lady in the tight pants, if you look real hard in the mirror i am on the stationary bike #why #becauseimpreggo #andican #atleastimexercising)...anyway, he cries the whole way over since his face is so cold and I cry in my mind because i want to break off my fingers!

***three***

I put on a dress and was like "whoa, that makes you look pregnant...oh wait, i really am." no joke, thats what I thought! i guess i really really shouldnt wear this dress not preggers!   

Yes, i dont have makeup on. Im super into this "i want to look real" thing. I dont think that blogs, fb, or other media should portray a fake "photoshopped" life. it makes people feel bad, and when people feel bad, they eat more, and when they eat more, they spend more money, and when they spend more money, then they eat top ramon and feel oober gross, so we shouldnt post fake pictures.   thats why you can see eli's cute hand print on my face, and the laundry not folded on my bed, and the pirate stuff for nate's Blue and Gold Banquet tomorrow night #shoutoutforchurchcallings #cubscoutmaster

but ill wear the dress anyway, because im in that kind of mood to not wear pants. and when you're in that mood, not wearing pants at all is not an option, so big flowy dresses it is ;)

***four***

So, we just got into doTERRA oils, and it has changed my life! seriously! their vitamins have made me a normal woman! There is much more to tell in another post, but seriously! They are amazing.
Anyway, so at first, i was the only one to go to the consultations and classes and stuff and Nate was all skeptical, like "how can oils fix things?" "this is expensive" insert manly voice #istilllovehim #goodthingispendthemoney....but now, just look at him.

He was there for a consult tonight, and can't put the book down :) I am so excited. He is taking the vitamins too and can see a BIG difference. but more importantly, he has his happy wife back who can sing again....well, is willing to sing again, who knows how good her voice is #insertwannabevoicehere

So, I am super excited about this! like i said, ill post my life changing miracles later. promise! but if anyone has questions, or wants a doTERRA rep to sign up with...i know someone super awesome, and passionate and pretty educated on the subject #akame...just give me a ring, and ill hook you up with the good stuff!
