g amber necklaces for teething and i love every second of it don t mind my pj s no makeup and terrible camera angle it was bedtime posted by dspence at 6 28 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday june 2 2015 a long time it s been a while i know i was on face book yesterday wondering how to ask anonymously for prayer and share some exciting stuff with people i trust then i remembered oh hey i have a blog not that i write anymore and not that anyone is still reading but i have an outlet for these kind of things no i m not pregnant let s just get that out of the way r has a job opportunity his interview was yesterday and we should know something next week if this opportunity comes together r would no longer be working from home since we live out in the country the office is 45 minutes away without traffic at least an hour each way with traffic that s a lot of driving and a lot of gas money for a someone who has been working from home for five years so we are looking at houses well house single because we already know which house we want it is an absolutely gorgeous home in the subdivision behind our church like this house is within walking distance to our church something like 0 02 miles the front of the subdivision is directly across the street from the turn in to the church parking lot and with traffic it is 25 minutes from r s new office we love it it is beyond perfect for our family it is on the size of property r wants and has the access to amenities that i want the very first time i saw this house i knew it was the one i wanted our family to grow up in the price just dropped 15k putting it right at the top of our budget of course we would have to sell our current home our home is great and while it s felt small since little buddy has become mobile it is the right size for a young family our lot is one of the largest in the neighborhood and comes with all the bells and whistles full privacy fence deck with pergola fire pit vegetable garden play house sandbox and swing set with slide r has put his blood sweat and tears into the yard and is looks perfect the inside of our home is pretty customized bold colored walls asian art baby stuff we would need to pull way back on the decor and remove all of the personalization hopefully we wouldn t have to repaint but i wouldn t be surprised if a stager asked us to repaint we would be looking at almost a thousand dollars of work to get the house ready just from paint painting supplies and a storage unit to empty out the clutter but it would be worth it for that house for that closeness to r s work for the amazing schools the house is zoned for to be able to walk to church work did i mention i m being brought on at our church as a part time staff member yeah that is happening finalizing everything tomorrow woooo so we could use prayer as much as we want r to get this job and as much as we want that house we want what god wants for our family so please join us in praying for this job opportunity that r would only get a job offer if it is where god wants him to be that if he receives a job offer that the lord would clear the way for us to move closer to r s work and if we do move that it would be into the house god wants for us because you guys in my head we are already packing and moving into that house 3 posted by dspence at 6 45 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday march 31 2015 long time no blog so it s been a while just to get it out of the way no the diet didn t work out i ate all of the carbs they were delicious oh well little buddy turned one the luau was amazing and a ton of fun i meant to get all of the pictures and ended up with just a couple but they are great there was much reminiscing and balloons and food perfect today i turn 34 ouch it feels much older than 33 too close to 35 which is too close to 40 with work parenting and leaving for vacation tomorrow i haven t really had time to celebrate today but there will be mexican food and i ve been promised publix cupcakes when we get to florida tomorrow and yes vacation tomorrow woo two weeks in florida i can t wait to spend time with my parents and my bff in addition to all the regular totally fun stuff we have planned i also have one on one time planned with both of my parents my mom and i will be doing a bible study together while i m in town and my dad will be teaching me to play guitar i can t wait and my bff and i are taking little buddy blueberry picking at his parents farm yay we are still breastfeeding although little buddy is slowly getting into solids we are still cloth diapering full time we are still baby wearing we are still co sleeping i m so proud of us for crossing the 1 year mark on all of these i m struggling with my weight and body image issues right now but choosing to celebrate everything above this first year with little buddy has been so different from my first year with little k our god is amazing i never knew life could be this good this blessed this wonderful praise god posted by dspence at 1 53 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday february 4 2015 day 3 33 five down and day 4 33 momentum day 3 my favorite thing about removing carbs from my diet cause let s be honest carbs are delicious and it is a daily struggle to just say no is the instant results you see on the scale after just two days i m already showing five pounds down woo the past few days have been okay a little stressful at times i am craving carbs like whoa but mostly delicious and encouraging i managed to workout yesterday and i went to karate tonight i have decided that 25 28 net carbs day is actually a good number for a nursing mom freeing me to eat enough to keep up a solid milk supply my water intake is going great and i m making sure we get plenty of fiber each day with a minimum of artificial sweeteners r is eating carb free until dinner each night while i m taking them in throughout the day last night we had lower carb chicken fajitas from the slow cooker and tonight is beef stew with cauliflower instead of potatoes i picked up some sf candies to satisfy those random sweet tooth moments and i figured out that a tablespoon of heavy cream in my smoothie makes up for the lack of banana mmm creamy day 4 today is a little off track my carbs water for the morning are in great shape but conference calls and early release at school has made fitting in a workout difficult i m going to try to workout this afternoon around 2 00 pm once little k is home and little buddy has napped we will see i don t want to lose momentum i made these low carb biscuits last night to go with out beef stew and they were great a little bitter but it was so nice to have a bready treat to dip in the bowl 8 10 would recommend in other news little buddy is turning 11 months tomorrow eek where did my baby go posted by dspence at 8 42 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday february 2 2015 day 2 33 one day and one workout yesterday brought some cold harsh reality r and i weighed ourselves and took body measurements the last time i stepped on the scale i was 5 7 pounds over my pre pregnancy weight yesterday showed 14 pounds over eek i am so disappointed and when we took body measurements several of my measurements were the same as r s ugh after that i had to keep repeating to myself this is the starting point this is the starting point weigh in and measurements will take place every sunday morning i m hoping to see a difference in my weight after one week day one of the diet went okay here s my day est 75oz water 8 00 am chai tea latte 3 net carbs 11 00 am 2 egg omelet with 1 2c broccoli and 1 3c cheese 1 5 pieces organic bacon 1 net carb 2 00 pm sugar free pbj smoothie 10 net carbs 3 00 pm organic hot dog i was so hungry 0 net carbs 6 00 pm chicken marsala with steamed green beans 6 net carbs 8 00 pm low carb ice cream 6 net carbs at 26 net carbs i m obviously way over the 17 net carbs i was aiming for the day bleh i am trying to figure out if that s okay since little buddy is still 95 breastfed i do recognize that i need to keep my supply up and that requires fat carbs and calories i dunno i m going to tweak my smoothie and see if i can at least get it down to 8 nc and look up homemade sf treats i m going to take 2 glucocoman with my smoothie to make it to dinnertime without another snack and i need to get up to 100oz water with at least 25oz before my latte in the morning so there s improvement to be seen on the upside i did manage to take my vitamins today woo as far as working out today was day one i worked with a personal trainer over the summer so i did one of the workouts he taught me all told it was 40 minutes of work which i feel is a good start today is all rainy but as long as the rain stops by noon we are still going to try walking after lunch i may try doing some jumping jacks and some weights this evening before dinner speaking of dinner low carb chicken fajitas are already in the slow cooker awesome only 32 days to go posted by dspence at 8 55 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday february 1 2015 day 1 33 a whole new attitude to food of course as soon as i decide i m not going to blog anymore i end up with something to blog about today is february 1st we are exactly 33 days away from little buddy s first birthday and i m still not at or under my pre pregnancy weight bleh and i know exactly why we have been eating takeout with embarrassing frequency through this first year of little buddy s life so often that i m going to just skip over the exact number of days per week to avoid the judgement that is sure to reign down on me so it s time for a change i ve been feeling this way for a while lately but the final straw came from r he went to his yearly physical last week and has gained more weight than he is comfortable with so here we are doing the big d word diet but really it s a lifestyle change we are removing the whites from our diet white flour white rice white sugar and adding 60 75 minutes of activity into our days call it low carb paleo or thm bad carbs are out and lots of movement is in r and i each have 20 pounds to lose the general plan is to stick to a strict ish low carb diet with a few fruits thrown in until little buddy s first birthday then after taking the day to splurge on cake and luau noms step back and talk about how low carb felt for each of us and how we want to move forward for exercise we are going to trade off 30 minute workouts in the morning while the other watches the baby and take a 2 mile family walk at noon plus i have karate 2 nights week to take care of our food i have prepared 13 low er carb freezer meals for the slow cooker during the day we have coffee eggs applegate bacon cottage cheese salads no sugar smoothies raw almond butter with celery and the occasional apple i m also picking up frozen burgers for when we are craving fast food i m not above making oven baked sweet potato fries to go with em on occasion i have almond flour for breading chicken and tons of veggies to be steamed roasted and stir fried we are taking bits from each of the diet plans above low carb of course reducing the amount of carbohydrates in our diet over all paleo by eating whole foods rather than processed and thm by eating on 3 hour cycles eating until we are satisfied and not excluding fruits the hope of course is that the next 33 days will help us re learn how to eat and take care of our bodies as well as turn our family into a healthier and more budget contentious one sit down hold on and here we go posted by dspence at 6 42 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday january 26 2015 mia sorry for disappearing for the better part of two months i didn t even manage to put up little buddy s 10 month update for the first time in four years i didn t submit anything for creme de la creme i am feeling further and further removed from this space what do you say about infertility when your child is home with you learning to walk and sprouting new teeth practically daily things are going well here very well little buddy is thriving little k is doing well r and i resumed date night last week and it was great amazing wonderful i remember why i married this guy we actually have a great time hanging out together i joined jamberry as an independent nail consultant work is rocking i went back to karate after the holidays cloth diapering is still going strong as is breastfeeding i ve started getting dressed and putting on makeup again i ve finally come into my own as a vocalist at the saturday night service my parents are looking at buying some land just up the road and retiring to nc to be nearer to us i bought new coffee pods for my coffee maker life is happening it s not new or remarkable but it is ours and we love it i feel like i don t have the time or drive to update in this space as often simply because if i do i feel like i will miss experiencing some part of what god has given us in the ten minutes it took me to write this post little buddy has discovered that he can reach the cats on the chair and learned how to unplug my laptop i m not sure of the future of this space sometimes i think about having another child please sir i want some more but it isn t the overwhelming all consuming ache that was there before little buddy was a part of our lives r and i even looked up baby names only to realize we don t like anything we found for a boy r insists that he is done that nothing could ever convince him to have another child so please just let this idea go i may be back here to talk about those thoughts and feelings until then please know that i love each one of you and am praying for you please feel free to come find me on facebook https www facebook com danielle piperspencer https www facebook com jammingwithdani ref hl and on instagram dspencer0331
