Kiss the Cook Shower!!

My best friend Aubrey is getting married!! My friends and I did a "Kiss the Cook" shower because she is amazing at cooking little goodies!! I would go over to her house for lunch and everything she made was so delicious and amazing!! I definitely need to learn from her!! Her husband is very lucky not only to have her cooking skills but her fun personality and sweetness!

Albion Fit Style Guide

When I find a good store, I immediately want to share it with people! I have loved being a Maven for Albion and love what they represent! This fun video shows some of my favorite products that you can find HERE!! I hardly feel like I can wear anything anymore with my body getting bigger and have loved having some Albion gear to wear pretty much every day! What is your favorite thing that Albion has in their stores? 

25 Weeks!

Soaking in last little trips where it will be just us! Lately it has been weird seeing my body change and I went to my favorite High Fitness class and could hardly do any of it!! I started feeling like I couldn't do anything! I wanted to do so much but my body just kept saying no! That was hard to accept that my body is changing! I have had the worst back/rib pain and have to end up sitting down because it hurts so bad. I am just grateful for Jaydon who is so supportive. I was carrying up the laundry one day and he said that I probably shouldn't be carrying something that heavy. I felt so useless and wanted to help but couldn't and he then hugged me and told me to remember that I am doing something so much better for our baby than I could do for myself. I always repeat that to myself when I get frustrated or am feeling achy. Jaydon will make a wonderful father!

Maskara by Michelle

I have to be honest but I have NEVER known how to do makeup and just make it up as I go. I got introduced to the maskara makeup and have loved it!! It is so fun to use and I feel all professional using it. I also love how everything you need comes in one simple thing!! There is also a lot of videos showing how to apply it and it is so fast! Check out @maskcaramichelle for more info and videos on the products.

NEW YEAR! NEW ME!

This last year I had the titles fiance, bride, wife, swimming teacher, student, sister in-law, daughter in-law, videographer, and so much more! What a year!! I can't wait for my title of a mother! eeek. It literally gets me giddy! I was one of those girls that always had blankets or a baby doll stuffed in my shirt as a kid and my sister would always be my OB. My bed always had a certain baby doll in it sleeping next to me and I loved having a little baby to carry around. My DREAM was to become a mom one day and I still feel like I am dreaming. I also am so excited to have the title of a Maven for the amazing company Albion Fit for a few months! I have loved their company and I am excited to represent them and what they stand for. I am excited to see what other titles this year will bring for both me and my husband.
I was thinking about last years New Year's Resolutions and I always feel like I create a list of like 30 things and would then forget about it and so this year I am going to make it a little more simple. I read about our personal 5 dimensions of health and wellness and wanted to create a simple goal to focus on from each dimension and to work on balancing each one the best I can.
Physical Goal: Listen to my body while working out and do active things that I love to do.
Mental Goal: Start the habit of putting things away like dishes/clothes around the house to keep the house clean.
Social Goal: Expand more with videography and always make an effort to reach out to friends and family
Emotional Goal: Fully love my body and not compare to other people. I also want to keep the habit of journaling
Spiritual Goal: Attend the temple more often by volunteering or making a secure plan.
Something I want to learn: being a mother/cutting boy's hair
Something I want to expand on: Cooking and videography
Most importantly, let this year be about JOY!! I don't want to let the little things cause me unhappiness. I wan't to work on finding joy in every little aspect because you always can find something good in a situation or something to be grateful for! Let's make 2018 the best year yet!
