Fun Family Day!

You know sometimes when you have a really stressful, and LONG week that all you want to do is spend time with your family? Thankfully, I was finally able to enjoy one of those days. When your husband works most weekends, days like today are few and far between.

This morning consisted of our usual morning workouts, bright and early at 6am, followed by a healthy breakfast, but here's the fun part...dying Easter eggs!! With Easter next weekend, what better time than now to let your almost 2 year old go to town on som eggs? We bought the fake styrofoam ones just in case she decided to throw them and guess what? Of course she did! She had a ball and got paint all over herself but who cares? That's what it's all about!

As she was sitting there painting her eggs, I coudn't help but think about how in the world I created this perfect little human being. Isn't this what our parents always warned us about? "You'll never understand the love you have for your children, until you're a parent yourself!" Why did they have to be right? Sometimes, I still can't believe this little girl is mine to mold and shape into who she's going to be. I know that there are several other factors and influences, but for these early years, it's all on us, her parents. That is why I CHOOSE to live a healthy lifestyle. SHE is my WHY! She's the reason I get moving every morning, she's the reason I make healthy meals for our family, and she's the reason I want to inspire others. I constantly remind myself that she's watching, and learning from everything I do. Most toddlers say they want to be like thier parents when they grow up, and what if they do? Don't you want to be proud of who they become?
