Goals for the New Year

Today I am jumping out of my comfort zone and trying something new! I'm linking up with Andrea over at momfessionals and doing Show and Tell Tuesday! Today we are doing introductions/resolutions for the year so here goes!


Here's the Schedule! 


My name is Cortney but I go by Cat. I'm a 24 year old Mommy to two beautiful children, Charlotte an almost 2 year old girl and Riley our newest addition, he is 3 months old. I am married to a wonderful hardworking man named Scott who drives a truck. We have been married for almost three years now and I cannot wait for more years to come. I am also mom to an angel baby. Rebecca Lily is my angel baby, who I lost at 7 months pregnant in 2013. One of the hardest moments of my life, and I miss her everyday.


This is me, with Riley when he was just over a month old! 

I am a graduate of Piedmont College with a B.A. in English and minor in History and am looking forward to going to grad school eventually to further my education. 

This is my life as a mom of two under two and a wife!






It's 2016 and with a new year comes goals, things that want to be accomplished, and things to work towards throughout the year! Instead of calling my list a list of resolutions, I will call them goals. I want to accomplish what I can and not stress about things that I don't. I want to live a slower paced life this year, but with two kids under two that is not necessarily going to happen.

Here is my list of goals for the wonderful year of 2016:
  1. Organize and throw things out that are not necessary! Living in a two bedroom apartment with two kids means we are maxed out on space, and everything seems to be cluttering up! I want to declutter, organize and get rid of things that we just do not need! 
  2. Be Better. I want to be a better mom to my kiddos, be a better wife to my wonderful hardworking husband, and a better blogger. I want to work at writing every day, and even linking up with other blogs this year. I'm very shy but love reading blogs so any link ups I accomplish means I will have accomplished a lot for myself.
  3. Lose the baby weight.

  5. Go to Grad School 
  6. Buy a house. This is the year that we are planning on buying our first house so we can get the kids more space, their own bedrooms and a yard for the pup to run around in. We will eventually get to building our own house, but that is a goal for another year. :)
  7. Shower more. Any mom can understand this! I shower, don't get me wrong, but I want to shower more. Tell myself that even though I'm exhausted a shower will make me feel better and that it will help start my day off better, even if that means getting up before the kids get up. And yes that means after a night up with Riley if he chooses not to sleep haha :) 
I plan to track my progress over the year and revisit these and do a summary of how far I have gotten throughout the year just to check in and keep them fresh in my mind!
Have a great Tuesday! 

XOXO

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that! ...

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...
