Missing a B?

When coming up with a title for my blog I had a lot to consider.
Who am I? What do I want to say? Who is my audience?
So I searched different words on Google. TrendyFitMomma. Naw. Not really fitting to me. I like to be different and quirky. Yet I like to remain on the "main stream".
B for Babes-
I have two beautiful little "babes". Two girls. The big one is our little princess. Since she was first she will always be our "princess". Her little sister is an angel and a ray of sunshine all wrapped into one. She is our "baby doll". They are amazing and I count my lucky stars everyday that I am blessed with two amazing healthy loving children.
B for Brains-
I, like to, consider myself  "smart" maybe not in the conventional book sense of the term. "Street smart" nope not me really. Growing up in the burbs in Canada never really got me "street cred". Perhaps "Socially smart" I love to be social. Studied a bit of anthropology in University. I loved that there was a way to study being social - how right on was that? Throughout the years I have travelled A LOT and really I believe the only way to be truly smart is to LIVE! Get out there and DO SOMETHING!
B for BUFF-
Love this word. Buff! Can mean strong and muscular or "in the buff" NaKedNess! Whooo whoo. I, unfortunately for some, am not a exhibitionist, BUT (haha no pun intended)  I LOVE TO WORKOUT! I have been active for most of my life so it is not strange that I love to move. Especially DANCE! I started at age 3 and I fed my addiction all the way through University - where finally I managed to get Sick of it. Yes - tired of it. I mean audition after audition - one let down after the other - rehearsing, class like 30 hours a week. How much can a 22 year old take? So that was it - I up and QUIT! Yes after 19 years - just quit. Joined a cruise ship to work and travel without having to pay any pesky expenses such as food and board. -BBBB --Brains - SMART right!? Right! (best thing I ever done! found myself and my hubby)
After a six year love affair with the open sea -- I headed for land again. Hmmm....what do I want to be now? Don't know? Teacher? Dance Teacher? Administrator? Anthropologist? Travel Writer? --so my first thought, with no job, I need a gym membership. Walked into the gym to buy a membership - walked out with a job!! Yes! Got offered a job ON THE SPOT! No experience necessary. Anyone who loves to move and exercise can sell membership? Right? Right? YES! That's how it all started. And I was Damn good at it! Was 2nd in my region for 3 months about a month after I started. Needless to say. I needed a challenge.
I met my BFF, Emma, she was a Personal Trainer and had just been hired on as the new PT Manager. She inspired and encouraged me to get my PT certification then --I did! And it changed my life forever.....TO BE CONTINUED TO MY MISSING B.....BALANCE!

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No it's SUPERMOMMA!

Are there ever days you feel like SuperMom? Or SuperWife? Well they actually DO go hand in hand. If you are a "homemaker" (I prefer to be called "domestic Goddess" but it hasn't caught on around here yet - perhaps if I made some wardrobe adjustments ahhemm...maybe not) Some days I'm all like, "Today is going to be a great day - I have my agenda layed out, feedings, laundry, vacuuming, playtime outside etc... but most of those days all falls apart and I am lucky if I get 10% of what I had planned done. Not by any fault of my own but having two girls and not knowing when one may have a meltdown not everything goes quite as planned.

Today for example, I had a SuperMomma day!! Yippee! But it didn't start out that way. I had woke up this morning with a terrible sinus headache and congestion and frankly I just wanted to crawl under the blankets and whither away. I was forced to get up since the hubby is away. This was an unbelievable challenge and at this point writing about it I cannot even remember the first few hours of the day. Suddenly, it was lunch. I made something hardy so my (almost) 5 year old would be able to go outside and play in the sunny snowy weather for a few hours. Mission accomplished. Got her out the door - as happy as can be - fed my baby girl. Popped her in the stroller and headed out for a bit. It was wonderful. Even if I was still feeling poopi it was nice to get some sun and talk to the nice neighbors. Baby girl didn't want to fall asleep so I came in with her and she nodded off. I did a few small tasks that had been waiting and also nodded off probably for only about 5 minutes or so (so refreshing) when I heard my big girl come in the door. (quick side note: very very nice to live in such a safe neighborhood - Canadian peoples you have NO IDEA- Sweden is amazing and I have pretty amazing neighbors) She came in HUNGRY! Cooked up some food -- HAPPY GIRL!

HAPPY BABY wakes up. Time to vacuum. Yes I actually had energy to vacuum with a sinus infection. House looks great!! I feel great! Bedtime went off with out a hitch! Three bedtime stories, clean teeth and a good pee and she was out like a light. Baby took her bottle and was also out! Guess what time it is? Are you kidding with me ? Only 8pm!! SUPERMOMMA!!

Would be so sweet if it was always this flawless but it's not so I will revel in this moment of peace and serenity and clean house on a Sunday evening.

Very happy to have the life that I have even if we are mere mortals.

Early kisses for Valentines Day tomorrow! friends! Stay away from the refined sugar of candies and stick to that lovely dark heart healthy chocolate. 

This Momma is heading for a well deserved bubble bath . V-day present for me, myself and I.

NEWBIE FRESHMAN ROOKIE - Yikes What is up with this?

Ok ok! I have been procrastinating long enough on this --but one day I realized, there is not enough room on neither my facebook status or my tweet tweet tweets to write all that there is to say. So by this, I decided to create a blog. Yes Lainey! Welcome to the year 2011! Where everyone and there brother has a blog (and so does mine btw. www.thedadjam.com)
I figured it would be interesting to see who would be interested in little old me and what opinions or suggestions I have (aside from those I have contact with on a daily basis, whom are forced to live with my opinions and or suggestions whether they ask for it or not).
I will get updated on everything tomorrow (way way way past my bedtime now)-- but it will be a learn as you go kind of experience for me so bear with me.
Be nice to the new kid on the block - btw I was a huge fan of them back in the day, with a very mixed borderline confusing musical taste, at that time I also worshiped the Beastie Boys. May have been that common denominating factor? I liked boys maybe?
Oh so much to write about!
Mostly fitness kids life philosophies trends beauty dance music food drink meditation and the list goes on .... we'll get it all covered, whether you like it or not! HA!
Proud of me! Wiiiii! Here we go!
