Feel the way you need to feel. Feel it all, and feel it without guilt. I've read my fair share of blog posts and articles describing the triumphs and tribulations of Mother's around the world. I was told not to be sad, not to hold anger in my heart, told to love what I do...even the messy parts. I became stuck within a whirlwind of emotions when I woke up this Mother's Day morning. Functioning on little sleep, having a sink full of dishes and a list full of empty bellied toddler ridden demands. No word of Mother's Day spoken, no special breakfast being made in my kitchen, and no sleeping in. I am a single mother. I am a mother. I am a human with many emotions. The hardest part about Holidays is false expectation. Truth is my day won't be, nor should it be anything like anyone elses.<br />
<br />
My Mother's Day is my youngest singing me a song about sunshine to wake me up, my oldest excitedly showing me his magic tricks, my sweet middle child pointing out the beautiful blossoms as we take out the garbage. It's not what other's say it should be, it's what we make of it. It's what we feel, and what you're feeling is perfectly fine.<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's Day my friends, you're doing it just the way you're meant to be. </div>

I don't have cable, I don't have wifi, but what I do have is a fancy new membership to family video! This gives me access to movies and shows that I've simply not had the time for, for many years!<br />

I know I'm late to the party but Game of Thrones is...how do I put this, AMAZING. I forgot what it's like to get lost in another world for a bit each night. I'm in the middle of season 4 and scared to finish. I'd love some suggestions about what to check out next, it will ease the fear of finality. Oh, and I may or may not refer to my 3 children as dragons now. Afterall Mother of Dragons has quite the ring to it! </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
"You are only given as much as you can handle"
I find a lot of truth in this statement, not because I think we as humans are strong, but because we as humans are forced to face what comes our way. Whether we truly want to, or not. I have a wonderful friend that constantly reminds me, "You will get through it, because you have to." Simple, yet so painstakingly truthful. Thank you friend.
Towards the beginning of my divorce the weight of defeat became this all consuming tortuous virus that had begun eating away at my brain, or what was left for a mother of three. Let it be known, there's not much brain space left for any mother, and the numbers certainly don't increase with each child. I grew up knowing that marriage wasn't everything Disney had tried to convince me it was, having lived in a household where I prayed daily that my parents would divorce. I should have known from the start, what could we have done differently? If anything, change is always helpful when the current situation is in turmoil. It took months for me to release the guilt and pain. When you put so much effort into something for 7 years it's truly difficult to not have expected more for your hard work. I should have had a masterpiece, and instead I now have the complete opposite. How could I have not seen this the entire time, how could I have convinced myself for so long?! I won't go into details, they simply don't matter anymore. Simply put, it didn't work out. It happens, and i'm okay.
However I do treat life differently now, gently and wholeheartedly. I refuse to ever give up on love. I will always love! How unfair would it be for my children to see so much sadness when it's always been my choice? I could never do that to them, nor to myself.
My interactions with others are genuine now. They are pure and to the point. If I see no potential in a friendship, I gently move forward and release both parties of an unspoken burden each human must bare. You don't have to like everyone. Did you know that? Let me say it again. You do not have to like everyone! I know, I know it's a lot to take in. I still have a hard time accepting this fact, especially as an empath. Of course I in no way mean to tell you to be mean, cruel, or exclusionary...just know you don't have to seek friendship within every person you meet. I've become truly happier not feeling like I have to please the world at every social gathering, every grocery store trip, and every time I'm writing.
My feelings of defeat from my divorce became a lovely awakening. How lucky am I?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started this year out right. Clean eating, cutting all take out and fast food, and swapping beer and sodas for wine (hey its proven okay in moderation!) and water. I began running a mile daily on the treadmill mid-January and am not getting quick enough results! I definitely feel better, my body has been very thankful for the changes, I just need a quicker response to keep on track! I have heard great things about Jillian's 30 Day Shred so I am giving it a go! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started February 14th and my legs were unbearably sore until this morning February 18th, so if you start don't stop, it gets better I promise! I am in love with the workout itself, the entire workout is only 20 mins long and the moves are simple enough for a beginner yet effective enough that you will feel the burn! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep checking back, I will post my before and after pictures at the end! I am not following any special diet, I drink a protein shake in the morning and eat 'clean' the rest of the day, around every 3 hours is a snack or salad! I am not a saint and the occasional slip up does happen, we are all human! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Never let a single defeat be a final defeat!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Plan:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 mile on the treadmill daily</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feb 14th-24th Level 1: 30 day shred</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feb 25th-March 7th Level 2: 30 day shred</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">March 8th- 18th Level 3: 30 day shred</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Protein Shake:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unsweetened coconut Milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jay Robb egg white protein shake mix 1/2 scoop</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Garden of life Raw protein shake mix 1/2 scoop</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how as parents we obsess over what milestones our children should be reaching. I say we should sit back and have a laugh over the ones that they should NOT be reaching!
For example:
Walking- sure it's cute, until you look like a crazy woman trying to catch your kid in public, ps they are even faster when you're holding a coat in your hands!
Talking- aww how sweet, wait what did you just repeat to the landlord about that hole in the curtain? Oh, you told her you made it bigger with your superman muscles! Fan-freaking-tastic.
Eating- excited that your wee one just finished their first jar of peas? Cherish it. Unless you plan to top each meal with whipped cream (don't judge me!) mealtime will never go down this smoothly. EVER! Oh but if it does, no mother out there wants to hear about it. Trust me, I've told many moms about my good eater (just one out of 3, but I'll take it) and I always get the half smile I wanna slap a chick nod! Always. Hm grounds for my next post? Yes! All mothers can use advice about how to avoid "The Look" </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the first year I will be back to school shopping! I am also a bargain hunter! Where do I find all of our back to school deals? Read on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My first stop: Once Upon a Child. I find the best deals at our local OUAC consignment shop! There are tons of different brands so it's like shopping at 100's of different stores all in one place, plus the prices are great!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next stop: Online! Here are a few of my favorites and tricks to finding the best prices at each of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.zulily.com/invite/pprice546" target="_blank">Zulily</a>: Sign up and check out all of their amazing deals and then invite your friends to do the same. You get a bonus if they order and they get great discounts. It's a win-win! I almost always find the best deals on shoes here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Amazon: My trick to finding the best deals- type what you are looking for in the search box. Choose a department. Then at the top right hand of the page you have the option to search Price: Low to High. Now you can find which seller has the lowest price for what you want! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">E-bay: No account? It's pretty easy and quick to sign-up. I find the best deals here the same way that I do using Amazon. Put what you want in the search box. I am often too impatient for auctions so I click show only Buy It Now listings and then choose price low to high, finding me the best price again! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Facebook: Yep that's right. Your kids favorite clothing brand probably has a Facebook group that has other mama's selling their kids used clothing at big discounts. You will need a paypal account to pay. Just do a general search in Facebook and see what pops up! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other great deal websites to check out!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you've heard of Livie & Luca then you're probably already caught up. If not, well let me catch you up...they are the CUTEST shoes in the world. Seriously. You can read my blog review of their shoes <b><a href="http://luvsjurn3.blogspot.com/2010/05/livie-and-luca-review.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>, but enough about the amazing shoes, how about those boxes?! Yes the box that the shoes live in. That sturdy, wonderful, "I know I can do something amazing with this..." shoe box. Little did I know the oldest apple of my eye Levi figured it out on his own! "Mama, can I make a train box with this please!? Pretty please!? " Hmm, a train box? That little <strike>stinker</strike> angel may be on to something! While grabbing all of our crafty goodies I tripped over one of our Take-A-Long track sets. *Light Bulb*</span></div>

I have a deep dark secret. Ok. I will admit it. I've fallen. The girly clothing trap has consumed me. It's won. I will no longer live in denial. You have to admit, with so much cuteness out there I didn't really stand a chance!<br />
<br />
The obsession started with Livie and Luca shoes. I did a blog review for them <a href="http://luvsjurn3.blogspot.com/2010/05/livie-and-luca-review.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and it was love at first sight! I wont lie, the night we found out we were having a girl I jumped online to buy her a pair of L&L's. I had been swooning over the girly pairs for years! I then started questioning what the models were wearing.<br />
"That's so cute, where did they get it...?"<br />
<br />
It was over from there on out! Gorgeous brands made their way into our lives, clothing that feels just as soft and sweet as your little princess. Persnickety,Matilda Jane, Misha LuLu, Giggle Moon...just to name a few!<br />
<br />
Before you go searching, be ready for sticker shock!<br />
<br />
What?! Are you crazy!?<br />
<br />
Yes.<br />
<br />
Well and No.<br />
<br />
For starters I usually buy used. There are quite a few Facebook groups where mama's (not being sexist here, I've honestly never seen a dad in one of these groups, so weird right!?) gather to share their love for beautiful clothing. I am able to buy new, gently used, or even play condition at a discount! I am a bargain hunter so I find some great discounts! I will admit I do have the occasional splurge, nothing wrong with that!<br />
<br />
The quality is beyond anything you will find in your local department store and the resale value is awesome! There are times where a piece resells for more than what someone paid for it! How's that for a great resale value?!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have STOMPEEZ. Why is that all in caps you ask? Well because that is exactly how my 4 year old reacted. You would think that box was filled with a million bucks! I became the coolest mama on the block. I have to admit when I first saw the infomercial for Stompeez I was a bit skeptical. Would it really work with every 'stomp' of my little ones foot? After all he is just a little guy.</span></div>

I went searching for the perfect organization, there are so many that I was certain to find at least one that I could donate to. I finally sat down one night and thought "please lead me to them, let me find the one that needs me most"...and I did. The most amazing and deserving family will be blessed this Christmas with help from me and a few friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>It feels so great to know I will stop flowing tears on Christmas morning. It feels so great knowing I am easing the pain. It feels so great helping a sweet husband and wife get just a little more sleep at night. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found them through an organization called Holiday Hands, on the Monkee See Monkee Do website. Something amazing is being done here. Something that the world needs to see. Please check them out. Please help if you can. If you don't see anyone you can help there, feel free to contact me about the needs of the family below. I will add the list and if you have something you'd like to donate I will pay shipping to have it sent here so that I can deliver the <span style="color: #990000;">LoVe</span> to this Oh so <i><u>deserving</u></i> family. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Holidays have finally arrived, and I am SO excited! We have our eyes set on some pretty awesome toys this year. My oldest (who just turned 4 years old) has been talking non stop about <a href="http://www.stompeez.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1" target="_blank">Stompeez</a>, there is something about those cuddly little slippers that make him crack up every time he sees the commercial! This is also our first year being able to add girly toys into the mix! We still need ideas for those though, I'm not sure how to buy for a baby girl yet. She will be 1 in December! Little man #2 (who will be 2 in January) loves any type or pretend play, so we are thinking a play kitchen would really make his day! Of course if you buy the kitchen you have to find all of the extras that go along with it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My newest obsession. High priced boutique clothing! The only problem, every time I go to buy something I tell myself "Seriously you could totally make that..." So it begins. I am going to revamp my shop and sell one of a kind boutique baby and children's clothing. What an adventure this shall be! My current shop is all punk and laid back, I am thinking about keeping it around to sell boy clothing and opening LoveLee for the boutique clothing. I'd love a few new Facebook "Likes"!</span></div>
