It has been eleven months and I still haven’t perfected the Stay At Home Mom (S.A.H.M) gig. Actually, I have come to grips with the fact that it probably will never happen. But, I thought at this point I would have the schedule down to include: showering and brushing my teeth all before lunch.

Ha Ha…Ah, “Lunch”…yet another word that does not frequent my vocabulary or my daily routine that often these days… unless you consider a granola bar and a bag of frozen Edamame a well rounded meal. Who’d a thunk that every chore and errand I once did before I had a baby would now take triple the amount of time with a baby in the picture? And did you guys know that you are talking to a former personal trainer? Yep, I was a 4:00 a.m. waking, 12 hour day training, and squat perfecting personal trainer. Bet you wouldn’t know it these days with the flab that has currently replaced my once toned gluteus maximus. But don’t you worry folks! I just needed the motivation. It came to me last Tuesday when I heard my husband unlocking the front door after a long day at work and I looked down at my outfit. I booked it upstairs to change from my pajama pants to a fancier pair of sweats (as if that would help the situation). And, to make me appear a little more “presentable” for my sexy, uniform clad husband, I put my oily hair back into a pony tail. I am sure he thinks he is pretty lucky to come home to me each day.

Steve, you need not worry! I jumped back on the self care horse faster than you could say, “Ewww gross!”…

It was time for my S.A.H.M Revival! and so I sat down and wrote out an hour by hour schedule and I am extremely motivated!

It involves seven hours of sleep and my brain, body, and dark circles are thanking me.

It involves thirty minutes of exercise daily…and my glutes are thanking me.

It involves allotted business hours…and my brain is thanking me.

It involves more family time…and Addisyn and Steve love it.

And it gives me peace, so I can be better at everything that I do and love my man and this little girl with all my new found energy.

Have you had your revival today?

Love,

Tis the Season for giving and I wanted to help you out with your Christmas shopping. I have two favorite stores right now: Target and B&H; Photo Video. One is my “go to” spot for all food and clothing items for my little girl and the other is my “go to” spot for all camera related items. This week, I would like to giveaway a $25.00 gift certificate for Target. Comment on this blog post between now and Thursday at 6:00pm and you could win a free Christmas present for you or for someone in your life. Winner will be selected at random and will be announced on Steve’s blog post on Thursday.

A special thank you: Babe, I don’t even know how to begin thanking you for everything that you are in my life so I will try a public display of “words of affirmation” (shout out to The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman). I don’t know many men that are as hard working as you and come home each night to show their wife and children as much love and affection as you show me and Addisyn. You love me, despite my oily hair and 24 hour pajamas, and I never have to doubt that. Thank you for loving me in every way that I am.

And finally, I have posted some sneak peeks from one of my most recent photo shoots. There is so much love in this family. Angela and Damon, I will do a “couple” photo shoot with you guys any day. The camera loves you, I love you, and you love each other. Your love was easy to capture :-)

    GAH!!!!! So far, so GREAT!!!!! Holy cannoli I am so freaking excited to get these pics!!!! LOL Love your blog post, btw. You are one motivated momma! <333

  2. Katie says:

    Ive been a SAHM for over 5 years now Stacy… and I still prefer my yoga pants every day! I own several pairs… =) You are too cute! And a wonderful momma! Just when you think you have a schedule mastered… the kiddos will change their routine on you!

  3. Kelli Schneider says:

    It is good to know I am not the only one who skips lunch and showers at 4pm on my days off! I'm very proud of you for putting together a schedule for yourself, I definitely don't have that type of motivation, yet!

    It was great spending time with you last Saturday! I appreciate you sharing your videos with me, it was great to see the Broadhurst familys' true colors! I told Kelly she has some stellar dancing skills and I also gave Davie Johnson a shout out on Facebook! Take care!

  4. I know just what you mean! Sometimes I want to stay in my pajamas all day and then when my baby is getting off the bus I feel like SUCH a slacker. How did this happen to me? Thank goodness I have to go work in the city at least 3 days a week or I would LIVE in my jammies! : )

    You don't even have to be a SAHM to have those types of bad habits. Whenever I work from home, I'm lucky if I get my teeth brushed before lunch and a shower before my workday is over. One of the many benefits of living by myself is that no one will be killed by my 1 PM morning breath :-)

    So glad we got to chat a bit yesterday! I love you and am looking forward to seeing you on the 28th!

  7. Jackie Komar says:

    New pictures of Addisyn are SO cute. Weekends are bad at our house, nothing but comfy pants, poor Brian, that is the only time we really get to see each other.

    Oh well! :0)

  8. Anonymous says:

    You are so talented! I love your blog and all of the photos :)

  9. I knew I had a problem with my working from home when Tim would get home from work at 5:30 and I'd still be in my pajamas :) It's so easy to lose track of the time! I love the blog :) Keep up the great work!

  10. SB says:

    Stacy- don't you worry, girl! You've got the motivation and good spirits to tame the whole SAHM thing! You're organized and you have the WILL, plus you've got a wonderful support system :) I love the pics of Addy, you are so lucky to spend so much time with her, just doing the little daily things. Can't wait to see you next week…the sneak peeks look amazing, great job!!

  11. Thank you for all the wonderful support and comments. I espeically love that I am not alone when it comes to wearing pajamas all day long. I love that I have wonderful woman and men in my life that like to kick it comfy style all day long.
