YUMMY HEALTHY FOOD
Yes there is yummy food you can buy that taste great and its actually good for you. For instance fruit gummy's, rice work chips that even vegans can eat, chocolate milk, mango's, watermelon, granola bars, nuts, powerade (It helps my milk supply), cheese and much more.
The best way to figure out what healthy foods you like is by going to health food stores or a normal grocer and trying out new things. How do you know whats healthy? I believe healthy options are more natural and or organic. Some people count calories, some people are like me and they eat things that just work for them.
I try not to eat bread, drink pop, if I drink milk its chocolate milk because its actually better for you however it's not like I drink glasses of it a day. Eating fruits, vegis, dairy products, protein and grain everyday is important to me. I try to exercise for at least 10 minutes a day and I also believe sleep is very important. I think everyone should try to exercise for at least 20 minutes a day.
Now I'm 5'6 and I may be 150lbs but I was in amazing shape prior to having two babies within the past 3 years so I know what I'm talking about and I know it works for me so take what I say with a grain of salt because everyone's bodies work differently.
Tomorrow or Monday I will do my weigh in but I doubt I've lost anything but I shall see.

Weigh in
The number was a lot higher then I expected 150lbs to be exact. I told Devon I don't feel like I've gained weight since my last weigh in around 3 months ago. We figured its because I gained muscle which I think is true because I am more toned and I definitely feel smaller.
My goal is 128lbs but I'll settle for around 135lbs. That means I gota loose about 20lbs. I'm not going to lie I feel a bit panicked. It's such a large number however my goal is to drop a pound a week. I think it's realistic and acceptable.
I did weigh in at the end of the day so I will weigh in Sunday morning and shall weigh in every Sunday from then on and of course report back.

Quick update
So I'm thinking about doing a weekly video about my weightless. I plan on recording the number, some healthy foods I've been liking. I don't think I will talk about the exercises I do because I don't know they're names and I'm not a fitness expert so I don't want to be encouraging doing certain amounts because it may not be right for you however I will say a couple popular exercises I do are crunches because they work great for my tummy and squats to give my butt a lift. I'll be writing about other things but those are the main two.
I might get the scale tonight If I do I'll have a post up soon. If you plan on loosing weight especially after having a baby then I wish you the best of luck! I've been MIA from YouTube however I will have a video up probably by tomorrow.

How to not go crazy during night time feedings
The best way to tolerate a night time feeding is to try and like it!
Ha ha you say that's impossible. Honestly ladies night time feedings can suck especially when you feel so tired you think your eyes might fall out but they don't have to be so tough.
I make night time feedings easier by going on my iPhone and checking notifications, watching YouTube videos and playing games. My daughter is half asleep laying in her nursing pillow with a blanket to support her bottle and of course I burp her and put her to bed when she's done. With a 3 month old it doesn't take long at all. She's asleep in 15-45 minutes and I pump for 50mins (my flow is very slow).
I recommend not really talking to your little one because the goal is to have them eventually sleep through the night without you and that can only happen if they learn to be independent and that it's sleep time not talk or play time.
Something else you can do is think about something your looking forward to like a new pair of shoes, a party or even plan your grocery list, I have! Lol simple things really do make those late night feedings a lot more tolerable.
I have a few random baby buys I just had to show ;)
Baby still not sleeping through the night!
So you wana know how to get your baby to sleep through the night.
Well you just look at there tummy and flick sleep switch of course! ;) Now only if it was that easy!
On a serious note your baby will sleep through the night when it's ready however you can do some things to improve his or her sleep so that they will sleep longer.
- sound machines like the sleep sheep or helpful but highly addictive. ( It took my son over a year to be able to fall asleep without a sleep sheep or lullaby playing
- keep the room warm and the baby nice and cozy
- baths before bed can help tire a youngling
- do not even think about trying the Ferber method until the baby is 6 months old and I recommend talking to your doctor and reading about it
- a pacifier is not the devil, it will not damage your child's teeth

What's your colour?
I've been in love with fashion for years and years, 12 to be exact and it took me 6 years to realize that my colour was Red. I have dark hair, brown eyes and a golden tan and red suits me better then any other colour. If your like me deep purple will also look good on you as we'll as black, and my favorite coral. Coral red, coral pink and even coral orange will look great on you!

Baby girl Fashion!
I'm obsessed with dressing my kids so I thought why not show everyone some outfits I put together for my daughter. I'm not showing stuff for my son because he stains his clothes like mad however I might give in and do a post about one outfit ;)
Everyone tells me how I dress my kids so cute! What's my secret? I've read fashion magazines for over 12 years, I took a fashion class and I dress my kids in clothes that compliment them. It might not be my personal taste but if it suits them then that's what matters. I'm not a huge fan of the colour yellow however it's my daughters colour. She pulls it off with her dark hair, blue eyes and naturally tan skin.
So here is a few outfits I will be doing a following post on what colours look good on different people :)
