Progress Not Perfection

October 28, 2014 by Megan 10 Comments

A little over a year ago, this was me. I was 3 months post-partum with baby number 3 in maternity jeans and barely squeezing into my 6 foot 7 inch husband's t-shirt. That is a hard place to be.  This is me today. I still have more to lose, but look how far I have come! This last week or two was rough. I made bad food choices.  I didn't move enough. When I stepped on the scale and saw it had gone up I was really bummed. That feeling of inadequacy is gone now though. I know I ...

Six Months Into Myself

October 13, 2014 by Megan 6 Comments

There really aren't words to describe what it feels like to be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself. To hide from the camera and from life. Talking about these feelings is uncomfortable and it feels a lot like a pity party with a side of whining. It is such a complicated emotion, because I was happy and I had blessings all around me, but I wasn't happy with me. I declared this the summer of me. If you are a long time reader, you heard me talk about this often. I was focusing on myself--guilt ...

Buying Our First Home

March 4, 2014 by Megan 22 Comments

This post brought to you by BMO Harris Bank N.A. Member FDIC. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband and I bought our first and only home in the fall of 2007. We didn't renew our apartment least and moved into my parent's house that summer while we began the process of house hunting. We were planning on five years in the house, but wanted something that could last us longer, if that is where life took us. I am fortunate enough to have a dad as a realtor, so not only do I have my dad ...

Weight Loss: Before & After

October 28, 2013 by Megan 31 Comments

As far as this campaign goes, this is my after. My journey is far from over. Hudson is six months old and while I have made progress--I am far from where I want to be. Please be kind, as it takes A LOT of courage to share these photos.   I actually was feeling pretty defeated, because all I see is what is left to do--and it is a lot. Putting these pictures side by side and really looking back and thinking about how I felt when I started this journey makes me appreciate how far ...

Mexican Chile by Behr

February 8, 2012 by Megan 23 Comments

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that the new saying I have been chanting to myself is, "Go bold or go home!" Somehow I went from Grape Leaves in my kitchen to Glass Slipper and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, I love my Glass slipper, but I think I have been playing it too safe. The fun of the new couch and relatively neutral walls was I got to dress them up any way I please. Yet, somehow I ended up with a kind of plane Jane space that doesn't reflect my or my family's ...
