Finally....I"M FREEE!!!!

We finally got back our truck today it was at the dealers for nearly two weeks. When I got it back I felt ALIVE!! LOL! I filled it up and drove it across Puerto Rico!! It felt so good! haha!

This week we also found out that we have to move. UGHHH!! I was hoping we didn't have too. We are now house hunting and I'm really scared that Ryan may not get use to another house. i hope this is not the case.

Another thing is that there are NO houses!! Not one....zip...NADA!! Well I may be exatteraing but...the ones that are available are GROSS and I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

LET SEE HOW THIS GOES!!!

Any moving tips with a child???

Coming soon!!

We are going to have a bunch of giveaways very soon!!!

I felt like I was playing catch up with the blog and my bow business for a while and now I feel like my hard work is paying off.

Will reveal more secrets soon!!

Diaper Rash Tips

I have been at war recently with a DIAPER RASH....I think Ryan is teething thus EXTRA BOWEL MOVEMENTS!

He had a menace of a diaper rash and poor baby was in pain. But we have it under control and healing at an ULTRA SUPER DUPER RAPID PACE.

So how did we conquer the Villain????

Here is the process:

• Every time I change his diaper I take him to the bathtub and water him down. ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NO WIPEYS!!!!! Using a wipey will only irritate his skin and can cause peeling.
• I use Aveeno Diaper Rash Cream on his bum(I put lots)!
• I use Argo Cornstarch as well so it can soak up any pee so the skin won't keep irritating.
• A TIP on the Cornstarch keep it in the Fridge so that it will soothe baby when you put it on.
• Also when I bathe him I use Aveeno Soothing (Oatmeal) Bathe Treatment!
• I SWEAR BUY THIS PROCEDURE!!!!

Here are the products mentioned above:


Hope this helps you battle the Diaper Rash Villian!!!!

OCD Husband

I have been trying to let hubby deal more with Ryan, instead of him leaving all the responsibility to me. I always say that I want him to be able to care for Ryan if something was to happen to me. To this he answers:

"NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!"

I always say:

"You never know!"

So, I guess in a way I am preparing him for the unknown.

Well, last week I managed to escape 2 times right before bathtime and he took over. I was so proud of him. LOL!

Yesterday he VOLUNTEERED to feed him his afternoon meal. OMG I sat there through it all as I was watching TV in that room and I was about to yank my son from him.

It went something like this.

• Prepared himself and ryan for the feeding by cleaning the highchair and ryans face with water and towels.
• Fed ryan a spoon cleaned him.
• Fed Ryan another Spoon cleaned him and cleaned the highchair plate.
• Fed Ryan another spoon and cleaned him.
  
• Gave him some juice and cleaned him and the highchair plate.

This repeated itself until he was done and then he said:

"Ryan is soooooo DIRTY!"

LOL! I was like how can you live like this!!!!!!

I guess my poor baby will be the little boy in the playground sitting on the bench with a towel until his bum because "daddy" doesn't want him to get dirty!

A mothers love through the lens.

I took this shot today while playing with my camera and trying to get my son to take some shots with me.
I think this my love for Ryan through the lens.....it came out just perfect and spontaneous.

My Body After Baby 2010 Goals

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was and AM dreading the end of they year.
It is time to kick my booty in gear and there is A LOT of booty to kick this year! (sigh)

Its astonishing what babies do to a woman's body.....I would describe my body now as BLAH! LOL! My son took my body and twisted each and every end of it until he came out.....and now I am left here with the aftermath of HURRICANE RYAN....DAMN YOU HEIDI KLUM!

It something about wanting to look cute in stuff instead of trying to HIDE every imperfection. I would like to say I would be my worst critic and I won't be less harsh this year.

I want that perky booty...nice legs, slim waist and BOOM body I suppose....so it's goodbye to you Mr. Bread, Mr. Snickers, Miss Peppermint Bark and I will be seeing you less Mr. Pepsi(I just can't let that one go completely! LOL)

HELLO DENISE AUSTIN and FIT TV!

My biggest hurdle will be actually getting my butt into gear and working out 4-5 times a week. I always occupy my time with other things.
Goals:

• Exercise a minimum of 4x/week anywhere including STAIRS and JUMP PROGRAM.
• Drink more water a day LESS PEPSI!
• Lose 15 pounds by April 2nd, Ryan's first birthday. This will be sooo hard for me but......I HAVE TO DO IT!

Plan:

• Exercise 4 (Ideally I would love to get in 5 or 6!) days a week.
  
• Stop Snacking and eat solid meals.
• Less Fast Food and More home cooking.
• Portions.
  
• Carry my water bottle with me everywhere! (A MUST)
  
• Keep track of everything. Keeping myself accountable.

I will be going through all my workout stuff and create a plan which I will share.

Also if anyone has any questions let me know I would love to help you out too!

The picture to the Left is my goal about 135lbs
(Wait a minute now that I am seeing this picture hubby needs body after baby too...because he no longer looks like that! LOL)

I am about 30 pounds overweight! (now crying).

My over all Goal is just feel better about myself and be a healthier and more active person.

Here goes nothing....now I am motivated this is exactly what i needed!

HELLO 2010!!!

New Year!! HAPPY OLD YEAR!

Saying goodbye to this year is Bitter-Sweet for me.

I had a lot of good things happen to me this year as opposed to the previous year.

My bow business took off and I am doing well with it. (Okay I'll plug it it www.lilhiccupsboutique.com LOL)

I had my son in April of this year and I guess that it is why it is hard to let go of this year. It sure was a memorable one.

This is the year where I learned a mothers true love and the year where anything is possible came to light again.


So 2009 you have been good year to me and my family but now it is time to say ADIOS but you will remain in my heart FOREVER.

HAPPY OLD YEAR!!!
