A Lil' D.I.Y - Lid Storage Rack

 If I haven't expressed my love of Pinterest before, buckle up because I'm a smitten kitten. You can literally find ANYTHING on there, I'm obsessed! I can't even tell you how many of my conversations start with "So I saw this thing on Pinterest..." haha. I was embarrassed about it at first because people would poke fun, but they're the ones mowing down on the awesome Monkey Bread recipe I found, and then working off those calories with all the workouts I've come across, I could seriously go on and on. I will admit that I don't usually make my friends exercise after I feed them, but you get my point. It's loaded with tons of ideas, tips n' tricks and I even plan on "Pinning" a few good ideas of my own :) So the whole point of this rant is, I found a lil' something on there, I tried it, and worked amazingly for me so I thought I would share. I also figured I would most likely try to blog all of those things I come across, as I already have a few to show you guys. I will include the original posts where I found the inspirations from, but keep in mind I have customized them to what worked best for my family in our home, and as smart as I am I don't have the exact directions because my step dad installed them for me, but I will do my very best to include any info I have!

Cohen's First Physio Appointment

This past Wednesday Cohen had his very first Physio Therapy appointment. He did really good, but we were also told his trunk area is a bit low in tone so we were given some exercises to try with him at home. I'm so happy we have been a part of the early intervention program. I can't wait to see my lil' love excel :)

Here's Cohen Saturday morning enjoying a very messy meal....the answer to your question is yes, I had to bath him haha.

First St.Patrick's Day

Forgot to post about Cohen's first St.Patrick's Day, so I figured I would share this photo.

My boy, so lovely. So sweet. So mine!!!

Yawn

It's funny to think I've been waking up at the crack of dawn for the past seven and a half months and I am still not a morning person. I'm almost positive if I didn't suffer from insomnia (yes people, I am suffering! lol), I would love waking up in the mornings. I must admit the mornings are probably my most productive time, because if I'm not moving I'm struggling to keep my heavy eyelids open. I wish my body would adapt to this little to no sleep concept, but it really craves more haha. Luckily my motivation kicked into gear first thing this morning (at four thirty). I organized my entire house, from top to bottom in one day! I'm not counting the garage as that's my hubby's job, and technically not in the house haha. I also admit that I planned on colour coordinating the closets, and that didn't get done, but I must say I'm pretty proud of myself. Especially because I did a good majority of it carrying around my sidekick Cohen! I would have said my helper Cohen, but today he was more hinderance than help. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just hard to pack things around with a baby literally strapped to you haha. Anywho despite the huge bags under my eyes, the day did go on and I made it! Success!

Early Morning Risings

 If your not a morning person, and I mean EARLY morning person, 5am comes fast and hard! Hard to open your eyes, hard to climb out of that comfy nest you've been warming up the past peaceful hours (or restless ones if your an insomniac like myself) and just plain hard to fathom that your awake before the sun! What!?

I always tell myself to stay positive and motivated and that will propel me through my exhaustion, and most of the time that works. Most of the time. On the occasional morning that it doesn't, much like this morning, I have my vices to help me relax and cheer me up just the slightest bit so I can tackle my very long day on just adrenaline and the first of my faves...green tea!

 While I drink my tea I will usually jot down a few notes in my journal, either lists of to-do's or a cute thing Cohen or one of my fur kids may have done I just don't wan't to forget. If Cohen is still happy in his swing or playing I will try and jump in on one of the trillions of D.I.Y projects I constantly have going, and that almost always gets the motivation flowing again.

 You didn't ask for it, but there you have it. My early morning blues remedy for the early riser who's super sad they're up that early haha
