August 21, 2011 We are leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. Our clothes are packed, the refrigerator is clean, Christian’s backpack is full of books and toys, the house is clean and there is not one piece of dirty laundry or dish in this house. After a long week of working, organizing, running errands and completing my long to-do list, I am finally fresh-from-the-shower, in a bathrobe and able to devote my last couple hours awake to my websites. I don’t plan…
Mommy Fitness Blog: cleaning is exercise.
August 18, 2011If I don’t have many appointments, I spend the majority of the morning very busy. I’m on my feet cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, vacuuming, washing dishes, fixing beds, etc. It’s amazing how long it takes me to actually finally sit down and relax. Considering I’m carrying a bit of extra weight, I definitely know how it feels like to use “cleaning as a workout”. We will be moving soon into a two story home with three MORE bedrooms, so I…
Playing catch
August 10, 2011August 9, 2011 I have been crazy, ridiculously, unsustainably emotional lately. The other day, I called my mother complaining about a bothersome issue and she said, You know who I feel sorry for? I feel sorry for that baby in you. It must be hard going through so much stress just existing inside of you. Of course, I started to cry more. No surprise, since my hormonal tears come out instantaneously at any given moment and for any given reason.…
Mommy Fitness Blog: swimming is my new thing!
August 9, 2011Yep – it’s hot here in dry Sacramento and I have found that swimming not only cools me, relaxes me and makes my boys happy, but it also makes me healthier! On Saturday I was supposed to workout (for my once-a-week-workout) but didn’t make it for several reasons… 1. The boys took over my morning 2. I woke up late. 3. I stalled because I invited my husband to go workout with us. 4. When we got there I had…
Mommy Fitness Blog: not happening…
August 3, 2011Gosh. I feel terrible. I literally workout once a week. It’s terrible. It’s the worse I’ve been EVER. And NO, being pregnant is not an excuse…having two crazy toddlers is no excuse. Working and getting stressed is no excuse. Having a husband out of town is no excuse. These are normal excuses for people but they aren’t normal excuses for me. Because the fact is…is that I have over 20 workout DVD’s, I have a jumprope, a medicine ball, an…
my Care Home Business
August 3, 2011August 2, 2011 Over twelve years ago, my parent’s opened their first residential care home. Since then, we have opened eight more facilities in the Elk Grove and Sacramento regions. We are the largest family-owned care home business in Northern CA. When I was in college, I remember commuting home on the weekends just so I can help nail beams, paint walls and clean floors. In our earliest days we used to perform activities with the residents and supervise them…
