BEACH DAY

Since my kids started swimming lessons, they have been wanting to be in the water, but the pool and the beach are totally different.  We have been to the beach before just with sand toys, when I meet clients at my Santa Monica Fit Club.  Today we went to Malibu with friends, it was nice, but I am so spoiled when it comes to beaches.  The crowd was fun to look at, lots of kids having fun, cool place, but the water will always be too cold.  I went with a good friend to Santa Barbara a few years ago at the end of August, which in LA is the hottest time of the year, I dipped all the way in the ocean, and my ears hurt from the cold.

Waiting for our friends to meet us before we headed to the beach
I am a Miami girl, and the funny thing is that I did not live at the beach, but whenever I did go it was magic.  I love LA, it is my home, I cannot see living anywhere else, but nothing compares to how the water felt at the Miami Beaches - very therapeutic, the salt scrubbing your skin, like a gel in the hair, even when it was wild, it had a cool style right out of the water.  I was never really into laying out all day and tanning, I have always liked my dark hair and fair/olive skin.

It has been a fun weekend, my brother in law surprised us, so family has been hanging out.  Today I left my baby with my husband and mother in law, and it was nice to just be with my older two, let them have me all to themselves.  I took their hands and we stood on the beach as the wave came roaring at us, and splashed cold water over our feet, they both started to cry :) I really think we have to throw them into life and into experiences, but yeah that water is COLD!

I am excited for tomorrow, getting back into my workout routine, I love being on track and sticking to my word and commitments, it feels so good.  Tomorrow night I am taking my husband to an amazing seminar, we both need to get focused, when you have your own business, you have to employ yourself, not easy to do with 3 kids and everything else life throws at you.  Who wants easy anyways? NOT ME

Have a fabulous week,
