Welcome to the One Little Word Blog Hop! All participants should be up and running by 8am Pacific time, April 1st. If you get lost along the way, check out the list of blogs at the bottom of the post.
The prompt for March was all about taking action with your word. My word is ACTIVE and I have definitely been taking action! Things have been nothing but ACTIVE around here since my son was born. We are finally setting into a groove and we have found solutions to his belly and sleeping issues. (I love soy formula and the miracle blanket!)
This is what my page looks like while folded and secured with the string. I added a few more things so that both front and back of each pocket is filled. 
This is the front unfolded. I really love my "A" collage. I documented my/our family's experience with enrolling our daughter in gym/play class. It is going really well. She loves it. She loves being around other kids, she loves running and climbing, she loves everything about it ~ except when it is time to go! My husband and I take turns going with her, this way she has quality time with the both of us. This time is all about her and she deserves that. She has been such a great big sister and hasn't had any jealousy issues with the baby. Her energy level has increased though, so this is much needed. 
I wasn't too worried about filling in the calendar, especially since I made all of this yesterday! ;) I have been active this month with many things that didn't really need to go on the calendar. For instance, I've been blogging and crafting more, which has been good for my sanity. I'm trying to make better eating decisions by buying healthier foods to snack on. Also, I have been taking Audrey to the play gym and that is a work out! Trying to keep up with a toddler is hard! :)
Enlargement #1. I really love the paint pen on the photo idea that Ali did and I plan to keep using it. This is my baby boy ~ 2 months old. He has me going morning, noon, and night. Love that sweet face!
Enlargement #2. This is the first gym we visited. It was geared more towards actual gymnastics. The reasons we didn't go with this gym was that the play time was a fraction of what the other offered and it was more expensive. Audrey saw a boy doing this and went right for it. FEARLESS. Love that girl!I hope you are keeping up with your One Little Word and that you find inspiration along the hop today! Jill is next on the hop.

Love the pics and your post! And I'm glad someone else did the calendar yesterday, too :)
ReplyDeleteA toddler AND a baby? I'm surprised you didn't choose the word "slow down" or "i've lost my mind"! Seriously, you are one busy mamma! I'm tired just thinking about it. :) Your book looks great. I wish you some calm moments in between your active ones... Blessings!
ReplyDeleteSounds like busy, but fun days, glad you are enjoying these moments. Like others have said, they go by so quickly. Glad you've found relief for baby too!

ReplyDeleteseems "active" is an understatement! great pages.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun, full month!
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely been active. I remember what it was like to have a two year old (very active one, to boot) and a new baby. You have no choice but to be active, do you? Thanks for joining in on the blog hop despite all your activity! : )
