Regret Free Parenting:Raise Good Kids and Know You're Doing It Right by Catherine Hickem, LCSW

Have you ever questioned your parenting? Have you ever felt like you are doing a bad job as a mother or that you needed some type of guidance?

These are all issues that moms everywhere deal with on a daily basis. We doubt ourselves and sometimes even regret decisions we have made regarding our parenting. This book lays it all out for you in an effort to help change your way of thinking about what it means to be a good mother.

“Regret Free Parenting” helps you see things in a different light. Catherine Hickem did a great job in adding her own personal life stories to help the reader understand the differences in parenting styles. I fully understood why being an intentional parent is so important in our children’s lives. There are also plenty of Biblical quotes to help you think about the importance of having faith in that God is always there. We cannot resolve all of our child’s problems, and we need to trust in God that things will work out.

I felt the book was well written and it is an easy read, although you may find yourself rereading some parts, like I did. Her personal stories were great in helping me to see the similarities between her family and my own. There were some sections that pertained to me now and I needed to go over it again and try to use the information I was reading. I would recommend this book to any mother, it can be very helpful in any stage of your child’s life. It is very inspirational!

Hope you enjoy it as well!

Taking a Detour!!!!

So we are up & out of my dad's house by 7am. It was hard and I tried to leave quickly, my poor baby girl even cried-I felt soooo bad for her. Usually I'm the only one crying, but she really didn't want to leave :( So, we said goodbye-hope to be back soon (permanently) and we drove off!
About an hour out, we stopped for breakfast and had to practically make a run for it, LOL! There were like 20 buses full of kids!! By the time we got inside, the Dunkin Doughnuts line was like a mile long-ugh, there goes my coffee! So we had no other choice but to eat burgers at Wendy's, everything else had super long lines that we didn't want to wait on!
We grabbed our burgers and left. A little while later Laz asks me if I want to stop at Clearwater Aquarium. At this point, I'm not 100% sure-I was sad about leaving & felt like just being home to calculate & come up with good, concrete reasons to move to Florida. On the other hand, I really wasn't looking…

New Week~New Program

Here we go!! I took a week off to regroup and decide what to do next. I really have to say that having Beach Body on Demand is the BEST!!!

There are so many programs and nutrition plans to follow. So since I recently completed Transform 20, I was thinking of doing it again, but I've been curious about 80 Day Obsession for quite some time. I haven't attempted this program because at first, I felt it wasn't for me. The workouts are longer than I'm used to and the timed nutrition is challenging for me, but I finally let curiosity get the best of me. I'm going to give it a shot!

I started Sunday with my meal prep! I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but I followed the sample nutrition plan and was able to get my shopping list and meals put together.

So for my first week, I have every meal planned out. Not prepared, since I'd rather make my eggs for breakfast fresh each morning. Most of my meals have been prepped!

My days are set to begin at 4:30AM with my sh…

Weekend Trip to Niagara Falls, Canada~Part 2

Here is our 2nd day in Niagara Falls. We started our morning with breakfast in the hotel restaurant. After breakfast we headed over to Marineland. This park was nothing spectacular, but it was a nice little trip. We saw a dolphin show, saw several other animals, killer whales, fed Beluga whales and rode 1 or 2 rides. Again, nothing spectacular but it was fun. A lot of walking, and our favorite part was feeding the beluga whales - they were so cute!
The dolphin show was also fun! Its been a long time since we've seen dolphins in action.

After all the walking, we were run down and hungry. We headed back to the hotel to shower and prepare for our dinner at Massimmo's Italian restaurant. The view was beautiful! I enjoyed dinner, but hubby and baby girl didn't. I like to try new things and unfortunately the other 2 don't - and there wasn't much on the menu that they liked. Baby girl had Ceasar Salad, hubby had Minestrone soup and I had Linguine Carbonara.
