Juggling Act

I am here, sipping coffee, surrounded by glowing scented candles and soaking in a sunbeam. The candles are to counteract the smell of my oven, which is currently self-cleaning away, preparing for the new tenant. I am also surrounded by boxes. Lots and lots of cardboard boxes. Boxes filled with all of our photos and memories. They are packed and ready to move on to our new house.

I have been doing quite the balancing act between our 6 1/2 month old son, 6 year old daughter, getting the house ready for the move, and getting our venue and date picked for the wedding. It's a lot on my plate, but I'm enjoying every minute of it. It will be nice to be in our new house, unpacked and settled. It is hard to have a little 6 month old boy who is going through a bit of a needy phase (clingy) so I just make sure that when he needs the attention, he gets it and I take advantage of his nap times.

All of this hard work and coordination will pay off when we are in our new home and when we have had a fabulous destination wedding!

Grayson is growing fast and is such a happy little guy. He does not discriminate when it comes to giving smiles and affection. He is a champ when it comes to eating. He is now becoming a champ when it comes to sleeping too. He sleeps from 7pm-5:30am, gets up for a feed and then falls back to sleep until 7:30am. Mama has welcomed the long sleeps with open arms and a sigh of relief!

Mira is loving her school and is doing well in the french immersion program. She is still loving her karate and piano. I think that will be the only extracurricular activities for her until the chaos of the move is over. Too much on our plates to take anything else on at this point!

I am enjoying my yoga and running but I have recently included a new activity- Circafit! It's basically a gym where they put together circuits (levels 1-4) and you go and do these very challenging circuits. It's great motivation to do some strength work (my weakness).

I wish everyone a wonderful start to their new year and all the best in their own juggling acts, whether it be fitness, businesses, work, children, trips, or family challenges. 2013 is going to be a great year. I am looking forward to it and so far it has started with a BANG! :)
