Zumba... It's my new thing!

Everyone... Let me tell you about my new thing! My cousin teaches a Zumba class in Sandy! I started doing Zumba back in February and I absolutely love it, it has brought out the "dancer in me". The classes have so much energy and not only have I lost weight but I have toned my muscles, I have never felt so great in my life. At first I was very hesitant to shake it and let loose, but everyone does it and no watches you, so now I don't even care! Every time I go, I look forward to the workout, each class is different and always puts a smile on my face. I have had quite the experience, going from pretty reserved and self conscious about not keeping up, to doing a performance, to going every other day and LOVING EVERY MINUTE! For those of you who have never taken a Zumba class, it is a Latin dancing workout, with popular songs, with every class you burn many calories, while having the time of you life. If you had a bad day, I promise you that by the time you leave you will leave happy and with a smile on your face! So... today, I'm going to "Stop...Drop...and Pause" and "Bust your windows out your car" "Forget you" and "Give you everything tonight" Everyone should try a class, it is so SO SO much fun!!

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...

Help me raise money for a cause (Part 1)

As many of you know, I have Type 1 Diabetes for 10 years in August 2013. For those of you who don't know, I would like to share my story (in summary). At the end of the school year while in the 5th grade I started to lose my vision. Things started to change quickly inside of my body. I was never feeling fully energized and I was constantly feeling like I had to go to the bathroom and drink lots of water. I started to lose weight and the color in my cheeks started to disappear. The first two weeks in the 6th grade I weighed a scarce 73 pounds. My eyes were sunk in and my cheek bones were poking out. My mom took me to the doctors. After a quick finger prick, they found out that my blood sugar was 831mg/dl. (Normal target range is 80-120 mg/dl) That was a very dangerous number! I was then told I had to be taken directly to Primary's; I couldn't even go home to get things. Both my mom and I were in a mix of emotions. Not long after being admitted to the hospital, I was given th...

Women's Conference 2015

Friends, I had the incredible opportunity to go to BYU's Women's Conference with my generous mother-in-law and both of my sisters-in-law. This was my first time and the experiences I had I will cherish forever. I will tell you right off I will be sharing some personal and spiritual things. I am not trying to convert anyone or change how you believe in things, but I wanted to write down how I felt after such an amazing two days of being uplifted by the spirit. Women's Conference is held at Brigham Young University, and is for women mostly, however there are some men that tag along. It is two days long filled with LDS speakers and talks. There are 15 or so talks to choose from each hour, for three hours. You get to choose which classes you want to go to and quite honestly if I had the time and will power I would have gone to much more than that. There is a morning session before we all break out into our classes of choice (all over campus) and then we all met back together...

Life as we know it...crazy!
