A Bit Late To The Game

With life busy adjusting to two kids, we haven’t managed to get out much. The husband & I still make sure to have some time special for ourselves. We may not get to have a date night out for a little while, but we don’t mind spending some nights curled up on the couch with a movie.

Last night we popped in Food, Inc. We are a bit late to the game in viewing this one.

It didn’t provide any extraordinarily new information or insight to me, but seeing certain things definitely made the message more effective. Let’s just say I’m glad we only purchase certain types of chicken and bought a share of a cow from a local small-time farmer. I don’t foresee a huge overhaul in my eating preferences happening, but I definitely hope to continue mindfully choosing things I eat.

I say that knowing we are having some pizza and using our monthly BOGO Dairy Queen coupon tonight. 😉 We’ll be watching Social Network tonight…not too behind the rage of that one.

Question of the Evening – What popular movie did you see recently? Did it live up to what you expected? I’m anxious to see Black Swan because of all the talk I have heard of it, but then worry I may end up hating it because its so hyped up.

Sitting Pretty

I may sound like a broken record but I don’t care. Thank you all for the lovely comments on this morning’s post. I loved reading all your blessings as well. 🙂

Well, the feeding frenzy continued into the afternoon with baby B. Yesterday I opted for the comfortable route and wore my robe and pajamas all day to make feedings easier. I didn’t feel like doing that again today. I wanted a shower and clothes. There is something about getting dressed, drying my hair, and tossing on a little tinted moisturizer and mascara that does wonders for my energy.

Looking put together helps me feel I can tackle anything and makes me more productive. I still hung around feeding Braedon most of the day, which exhausted me, but I didn’t feel frumpy. I felt like an empowered woman who could handle mothering and personal goals all in one.

After Makenzie I didn’t get dressed in anything besides lounge wear unless going somewhere. This time, I wanted to focus more on doing little things to keep me feeling confident. It may sound cheesy, but I really believe it has helped make a difference. Plus, its fun being able to wear clothes you haven’t been able to fit into for many, many months.

Question of the Evening – What ways do you like to put yourself together even when chilling at home?
