Mama Update

I want my girls to be proud of their mama

To raise strong girls,
I need to be an example of a strong woman.

So... a rare mama update.

I joined a Crossfit gym in October.

They have a 5:45-6:45am class.

I nurse Anna at 4:30am,

get my workout in,

and get back home by 7:00a.

In time to get Sara ready for school.

Anna sleeps until 7:30a

which gives me time for a quick shower.

193 lbs

Crossfit is more strength training
than I had realized.
I've never been much of a weight lifter
but I love every minute
and feel amazing!

Hello, little bicep.

I've had some fun with my new wood burning hobby.

I've had two Etsy orders for growth chart rulers

and I have made a few extras for gifts.

Someday I'd like to try a craft fair

but for now it's a fun little hobby.

Thanks to my neighbors,

I've finally found that volleyball league

I've been looking for since moving here.

I had really missed playing.

Unfortunately,

it occurs during the time we put the kids to bed

(a two-parent job, for now)

and I haven't been able to attend as much as I'd like.

It's still fun to get away once in awhile

to bump, set, and spike.
