back in the 90s....

How old were in you your first childhood memory?

What was the memory?


When I was asked this recently it really made me think.... but some of my first memories were not the greatest of ones- family fights, parents separating, my great grandmother passing away and just a bad few years for me- unfortunately that is how your memory works, but that's OK because I believe that whatever struggle you go through; it can only make you stronger and all in all I had it pretty good. Was surrounded by love and couldn't ask for anything more.


There were plenty of GREAT memories and I am going to talk more about those! One of my most clearest memories is times that I would sit on the counter of my Mimis bathroom while she sang " she'll be coming around the mountain.." while blow drying my hair ( I HATEDDD getting my hair touched ) so this was a great way to calm me down I guess- Mimi did it help? haha!!

Another great  memory that is very clear was our first Family Summer trip - My dad, brother and I went with some great friends to Good ole' Lake George! That was a trip none of us could ever forget.....
locking myself in the bathroom in the cabin, the infamous boat trip where Skipper and the Captain almost got us lost at sea, swimming with the ducks, then we had to walk back to the resort with no shoes on, then lets go to Vermont on the way back.....so we could drive for miles and miles and get excited when we see a Gas pump and a convenient store that sold everything from Candy ----> Boats, yup I remember this store and I even can still remember the guy who was there was smoking a cigarette and my dad yelled at him because there were kids in the store. Nice dad, we are in the middle of nowhere and you are going to piss off the only person that probably lives in the town....
 
Hey check out that tamagochi around my neck?! :D

 

So I ask you again- what was your first childhood memory?

weekends are for...

Weekends aren't the same for me as they are for others. I am only off every other weekend and those weekends "off" are spent doing my other "jobs" such as photography stuff or things for my challenges that I host... but I LOVE it. This weekend I had a surprise visitor! She literally texted me Saturday night and said "should I come tomorrow afternoon?" UM yes, I will never say NO to a visitor especially this one. <3 You only have so many people in this world that understand you and get you 100%. Luckily I have a few of those in my life including Brittany. We have been best friends since 10th grade and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is my {{person}} <3   Saturday started out "crappy" literally, had a toilet overflow that turned into a pool in our bathroom then a ceiling that was leaking. What a mess and not how I wanted to spend the first half of the day...... I spent the rest of the day meal planning for my upcomi

Adulting is HARD.

Lets be honest. LIFE is NOT easy. LOTS of choices to be made, and when you are a parent the choices you make no longer just effect you-they effect your children so life gets even harder.  I spend A GOOD amount a time a week self reflecting on how far I've come and where I want to go--we go through moments in our lives of "what IF" . I tell ya, I'm SO thankful that Advocare has come into my life. I think it has helped me grow as a person, a leader, financially and health wise. Ill take you back to my early 20s. I was a lost person, mentally. I didn't know where I belonged in life. I knew a few things-- I LOVED people, I LOVED helping people, I LOVED photography, but in those early years in our lives we are told "GO TO COLLEGE , GET A DEGREE, get a JOB and thats it" but I always thought of myself as 'DIFFERENT' I never wanted to just go behind a desk and work. I get BORED very easily and like to different things. Teaching, Psycholo

2017..THE year for flashfitgirl

2017.... I've heard the saying  2015 was practice... 2016 was the warm up.... 2017...its GAME time. But what does it all mean? How many times have you thought THIS IS MY YEAR? Then you get to March and you haven't finished that book you said you would, you skipped your work out 7 days  now, laundry days have turned back to every day, your brand new planner is a mess, the kids are driving you mad, and you're letting little things eat you up?! YUP. Its happened to me... and I can guarantee if you're reading this, its happened to you too! We are 25 days until a brand new year and guess what if you feel like you've already failed- YOU ARE WRONG! If you haven't done anything you've said you were going to, time to get on it, if its MORE time you need- then its time to find it. But then you run into those problems again-  how can you find the time if you don't have it. I wish I had all the answers. BUT what I can do is share what has worked for me f
