Well 7pm is the official time for summer to begin if you want to get all technical about it. Im usually not excited about the sweltering heat, allergies, bugs ect. But this year since Im "working" as a stay at home mom, the main reason (work) why I cant really enjoy the summer has flown out of the window.  Ive decided to try and bypass all the excuses as to why I cant go outside and just go for it. I plan on creating great summer memories with my kids :)

Concerts in the park? Bring it on. Picnics with the kiddos? Im game! At least I am until I get sunburned or have a serious sneeze attack lol

Are You A Summer Fan?

Pause: Body Acceptance/Self Love

As we head into the warm weather, conversations in the blogisphere have turned toward cookouts, roadtrips and all things summer. We cant wait for the weather to change so that we can shed the extra layers of clothing and bask in the sunshine for a few months. We also are forced to come face to face with our bodies. Summer heat makes it really hard to hide what we consider flaws.

After having 2 children I must say my self image wavers at times. When the sun begins to beat down and my only choice is to die from heat stroke because I dont want someone to notice my back/belly fat or just let it all hang out it can be a real head trip.
