Do Your Best and Forget The Rest

I started doing P90X a couple weeks ago. Something he says a lot is "Do your best and forget the rest." I love this phrase, and not just for exercising. For everything in life. I can't tell you how many hours I spent wasted, thinking of all the times I've failed. Failed at big things like quitting college, or failed at little things, like not doing the laundry this weekend like I should have. Life is just full of little challenges and obstacles, ready to bring you down and make you fail. You might know them as their alias, satan. And the only thing you can do is do your best and forget the rest.

Do you ever sometimes feel like perhaps you set a goal, maybe, cleaning your house. And no matter what, you can't seem to get it done. After the weekend, you have a mess of a house and guilt for not achieving something you set out to achieve. Then you spend the next hours, days, feeling bad about it. And it makes you feel like a failure as a wife and a mom and a homemaker that you didn't get it done. This is satan popping up. Making it harder on you to feel good about things you've done. Its hard for people to get back up and try again sometimes. But I love that each day, you can do your best and forget the rest. Because it really doesn't matter if you had a bad day today. If you woke up from a 2 hour night sleep because your baby was sick, you have a horrible hair day and you were late to work, and the best you could bare to do is just get there, then just know tomorrow is another day, and it will be a better day. Forget the rest. Your best may look different from day to day. You can't always be the best in other peoples eyes, but as long as you know you are doing the best you can today, that's all that you can really do.
God tells us that he will renew our lives. He will renew your spirit. He wants you to persevere, keep going. Just do your best and don't give the devil get a foothold. Don't let him pull you down.
That being said, we had a very busy weekend. I actually felt pretty productive and had some good energy...so it was a good weekend. Gigi and Pops came over - they can't stand to let a week go by without visiting with us - and the scene was pretty much stare at Avery and take pictures. Jordan and Soph were at a party this afternoon so they were only here for a little while. She has start eating cereal recently and dad has been excited to feed her. I started to feed her and was into it a few bites when he said "Ok, time for me to cut in." He is excited that she is getting big enough for some fun food! Just a few more weeks and it will be time for some veggies!!!


Have a good Monday morning everyone!

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

Dancing With Dad

I have been working on a project these last couple of weeks for my previous company. Yesterday, I was working on my computer and heard roaring laughter coming from Avery's room. I walk in and found Jason and Avery dancing and singing away.   By sheer coincidence, this popped up on my Timehop today. Avery was only 1 in this picture. Boy, are these kiddos lucky to have such a great dad! It makes me heart melt.
