Well guys things have been pretty busy lately. Husband was off Friday night and all day Saturday... first time in a very long time... so we spent alot of family time and had some of his friends over last night. It's so nice having adult time. Being a stay at home mom I rarely get out because when it comes down to it it is alottt of work. Brenden is rolling over and already sitting up and he isn't even 5 months old yet. He is so smart and I just can't believe that he is ours sometimes. Right now he is currently obsessed with the movie Tangled. We literally watch it at least 3 times a day and he will not watch any other movie. Stephen said he was singing one of the songs out loud at work the other day and didn't even realize it lol! 


I am going to start logging my diet and weight loss on here from now on. I only gained 25 lbs with my pregnancy but I was already overweight then. I am a "bored" eater so being home all day makes it really hard not to just sit at home and eat. So I'm hoping that by logging everything on here will make me more accountable. FYI I never put my weight out there so it is a really big struggle for me, and I am not going to lie in saying that I have had self esteem issues since I was little.So how I look is very important to me. Right now my current weight is 160 even. I am 5'6 and I would like to lose 15-20 more lbs so every Sunday I will weigh myself and hopefully this will keep me motivated. 


Going to spend time with Brenden and wake Steve up for work. Have a good day everyone :)

Hey everyone, well I decided to start blogging to vent and brag about my life's adventures and drama's of the day...so here it goes. First official blog post-- My name is Chelsie, below is my husband Stephen and our now 4 month old Brenden. I might be biased but I think I have a life that most young, or heck, old people would dream of having. I have a husband who works hard and would do anything for us and a son who, is defiantly high maintenance, but no doubt the greatest joy in the world. I am truly lucky to have found somebody to love me and all my flaws and have a healthy, happy baby. Granted I have the usual everyday struggles, being a stay-at home mom and trying to stay savvy and make money stretch, body issues from just having a child, and something I will get into a bit, having little/no friends. 

Stephen and I moved from Texas to California with his parents when I was 8 months pregnant. CRAZY!! I do not suggest because it is very stressful. But everything turned out fine. We currently live with his is parents at the moment but we are saving money to get our own place in January. I love California, I grew up in a small town called Tom Bean, Texas and hated it since I was little so when Stephen wanted to move back to California (he grew up here) I was down 100%.  Now living here definatly does have his dis-advantages, since I am a stay at home mom I have made no friends at all, and I do not know where anything is at all, etc. 

Life is crazy, unpredictable, fun, and an exciting. You never know what the day has in store for you. Everyday we wake up is a blessing and should live life the the fullest. I hope you all like this blog and bare with me, like I said, this is very new to me. 

I'm going to try and find motivation quotes of the day so here is number 1:

The noblest calling in the world is that of mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give.-David 0.
