Blocks, PJ's & SnowDays.

This week has been so cold that Hunter & I have mostly stayed inside while Kevin is away at work.

It's been a rough (lots of pain) few weeks of pregnancy and chasing Hunter around all day makes the pain a little worse.

I may be one of those moms lately who leaves my kid in his PJ's all day, lets him play with blocks as long as he wants and has Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playing on repeat in the background!

What can I say.

The cold weather does not encourage me to get up and go by any means, and when we do have to leave the house I instantly am planning my quickest route home!

You can see for yourself that this last week was all about Blocks, PJ's & Snowy Days.

How mean am I to be taunting my Hot Cocoa as he shovels snow?!

Hunter was so excited Woody came grocery shopping with us and insisted he ride the conveyer belt with the food.

Oh, I also finished all my Christmas shopping/wrapping and have one more package to mail out on Monday.

It's gonna be a wonderful Christmas Morning.

I did manage to attend a couple FABULOUS blogger events this month also.

I went to the Xtend Barre Event on Wednesday

(see post here)

And also attended a WONDERFUL girls night IN with some fabulous ladies at the beginning of the month.

I seriously have met the GREATEST girls doing this whole blogging thing.

Happy Weekend Readers.

PS. Doesn't this side by side comparison of Kevin ('84ish) & Hunter both with Messy Faces not

MELT YOUR HEART.

Yes it does.

Xtend Barre Event.

Last night I was so lucky to be invited to a wonderful blogger event at

Xtend Barre in Provo.

I have heard about Xtend, and walked by a few times during trips to the Riverwoods and have always been interested to take a class.

When I got the invite I was a little nervous about an hour long workout class since I am 31 weeks pregnant and have done VERY minimal exercising throughout this pregnancy.

(my excuse is that I chase around a 30lb toddler all day and that's exhausting enough)

My husband convinced me I needed to go and my blogger BFF Bri agreed that even if I wasn't able to do all the activity I could still be with friends and have a night out.

I am so glad I went.

Our instructor Stacy talked to me before the class started and let me know she would help me with some alternate positions for some of the workout for my pregnant body.

She was so great and reassured me it was OK to just listen to my body and not over due it trying to keep up with the routine.

I tried my best and felt pretty comfortable throughout the class.

I absolutely loved the routine.

I will be back to Xtend Barre for sure once this baby girl is born.

I can't think of a better way to help get my body back in shape post baby!
