Every Day is Different in Mommy World

I was thinking of scheduling and making friends throughout the day.  When you are a mommy to little children especially, the day really revolves around them.  Napping, feeding, and just general when the baby is in the mood could alter your plans for the whole day.

Today was just classic, my kids have a break for a long weekend starting today, and I have a wonderful friend that had passes to the Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, WOW, what a place! www.kidspacemuseum.org


Everyone had so much fun, and below is on the drive home taken from my driver's seat, baby was snoozing too
My friend told me her daughter takes a nap around 10ish, and that worked for me, we took a long time getting ready today, and getting three children and myself ready for a whole day out takes time.  It was so cool how coordinated we were, while we were totally taking our time, doing what we needed to do for ourselves for our children.  She lives probably 20 minutes from there, and I live 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.  We got there within minutes of each other, and they are so smart, they have a wonderful park right outside the museum, where the kids have fun playing while waiting for friends.


Everyone had a ball, even Matisyahu, there were music classes and a room just for his size.  I enjoyed hanging out with my client and friend, and took her measurements so we could track her success on her Herbalife Nutrition Program.  Another mom noticed, and later asked me what I was doing, and we exchanged information.  This is how I do business, I just live my life, enjoy my kids, and enjoy meeting people, learning from each other, and offering to find the best way for them to feel and look their best.  I really love that in my line of work I keep on making friends, and I really mean real friends, we mommies need each other, we never run out of things to talk about, and I really love talking to adults, it is my sanity and recharge.


When I got home the kids were cranky, they had such a good time, partially fell asleep in the car, it was too early to keep them asleep, my husband was busy, so all my energy had to stay with the kids.  It is so amazing how we get exhausted from even the fun things in life. 

All day the kids have been wonderful listeners, went to sleep nice, but the baby was just full of energy.  I keep saying that before our vacation, we put him down for a nap, and then left for 5 days.  He is thinking, nope, I am not going to sleep, you might disappear :)

So I literally just woke up from falling asleep with him, kind of a power nap, got a few things to do, and then hopefully a peaceful night. 

Man! Those naps on the cruise have just spoiled me, my body is like...I want more of that :)

Mommies with kids of all ages have to either put the kids into their schedule, and Thank God Nanny's and Daycare really work for working moms.  Now that my older two are in preschool it makes scheduling a bit easier, but when they are on a break, I don't get a break.  I feel blessed that my schedule is so flexible that I could take a day to spend with the kids with no plan, while my clients keep in touch, stay focused on their programs, and focus on figuring out the best way to feel good in their world.

With all the diets, exercises, and programs out there,
Everything works,
and Nothing works,
It's all about finding the combination that works for you,
That is what I help you figure out,
Be You,
Be Unique,
Don't Stop Until You Find Your Way,
