Just blogging away...
Who would have guessed that I would miss writing lesson plans?
I figured that I would miss the children (of course), seeing my coworkers/friends every day (naturally), seeing the lightbulb going off in a student’s mind (no doubt). Lesson plan writing? No way! Yet, I do miss writing lesson plans. I miss creating different themes for each week with strategies and activities that cater to a variety of learning styles. Science experiments, math games, and art projects- I had such a blast thinking up ways to motivate my students. I am now a stay-at-home mom, so no lesson plan writing for me. In order to fill the void, I have decided to try my hand at blogging.
As a first time mom all of the topics that interest me fall into three distinct categories: fitness, food, and fun. It is definitely challenging finding the time to sneak in a workout with the “World’s Worst Sleeper.” I plan to write about all of the little workouts I have created out of necessity and sneaky tricks that I have used to help stay in shape and lose the baby weight. Food is something my whole family is passionate about, including baby W. Baby boy LOVES to eat! My husband and I are both grateful because we both enjoy cooking. I think the dog is the only family member that doesn’t appreciate W’s eating habits. I hope to take plenty of pictures of the messy meals W enjoys eating. Finally, and most importantly, W and I have SO much fun during the day. We find interesting things to do both at home and out and about. I will share all of our many adventures we get into on a daily basis.
I hope reading my blog is just as enjoyable as my time spent writing it. Please feel free to leave comments!
It’s such a great way to fill that void, isn’t it? I get to feel like an adult for a little bit-even though I’m writing about tantrums and potty training…

Tarynn- Yes, it’s a nice little escape from all the baby stuff.
my daughter hates sleeping too!! I guess when they are teenagers, that will be a good trait. But for now, not so much 🙂
Maggie- haha. I’m thinking W will probably become a really good sleeper when he becomes a teenager unfortunately.
Love the focus of the blog! I want to know some ways to sneak in a workout…definitely can use one!

Mommy A to Z- Thank you! If you check out the fitness category, you’ll find some quick and easy workouts.
“World’s Worst Sleeper” … haha! I think I had 4 of those, so I’m not sure who actually holds the title. Looking forward to reading your blog! I’ve tried working out with the kids around me, and I remember doing crunches, while one kid sat on my stomach and decided to bounce up and down. I gave up after that, so if you can give some inspiration, that would be nice! 🙂
Ai- Oh no! I was hoping my son was the worst and all the rest of my kids would be wonderful sleepers! haha. You can check out a fun Ab workout you can do with the baby/kids
