Marathon Training Plan

July 31, 2013

I have been meaning to get this up for everyone, here is my training plan for the October Long Beach Marathon. I have decided to just do the half this year-it was way more work training with a newborn than I thought-but the half I can do.

I still wanted to put this up there for everyone to see, incase you need a plan :)

My training is similar, however on Sundays I do not run as much as this plan-but this is the same plan I used when I ran a marathon two years ago.

Good Luck Runners!!

I found this amazing plan here

6 Months

I cannot believe another month has flown by! BIG milestones this month with Aubriella, so cute!

 

 

6 Months

Height: 26 inches ( got a bad read last month)

Weight: 17.2 lbs

Head: 17 3/4 "

Sleeping: I don't want to jinx it, BUT she is sleeping much better at night. She still wakes up every 2.5-3 hours but only to put her paci back in- doesn't need to eat. She goes down very easy most nights, I think she is used to her routine-YEA mom :)

Milestone: She began crawling AND pulling herself up and standing on things in ONE day. She is MUCH happier now that she can move around freely

Fun Moment: Swimming with her, it is amazing to see their natural ability to kick and blow bubbles at such a young age.

Bad Moment: I was talking with an employee at the local pet food store when she decided to projectile vomit all over me. I am FINALLY to the point where I'm not embarrassed anymore, but I felt bad for the young girl to witness it.

Teeth: Officially teething-loving the Hylands Teething Tablets

Feeding: Eating SO many fun foods. I make her food for her, so I'm having fun too. She's a great eater-blueberries, green beans, squash, chicken, all fruits, peas...the list goes on and on. I feed her something new everyday. Eating formula the same, 6 oz every 3 or so hours.



DIY Swim Instructor Gift

Summer is here and I'm sure most of you are swimming a TON- like us :) Aubriella had the sweetest swim instructor and it made the class so fun. I wanted to do something nice for her, being around a bunch of babies all day is hard lol

This is what I came up with- I found the printable on Pinterest and created my own little treat bag of fish for her-cute right!?

I First printed off these cute pre-made templates and cut them out

Next, I found these basic party bags from Michaels

I added a piece of tape to the back of the printable and attached them to either side of the bag, Once they were where I wanted them- I hot glued the corners on

 

I forgot to take a before picture, but I just bought two bags of JUJU Fish from Albertson's- it was the perfect amount!

SO cute!, I added a bow to the top of each bag with hot glue- you can do whatever you want! This is the front of the bag.

 

Here is the back of the bag.

Happy crafting!!!

 

Weekend Recap-DIY

Back to the grind, Happy Monday! I think, however we can relish in the fact that we have the MOST rewarding job in the world-being a mommy :) Aubriella was extra sweet this weekend, despite her lack of sleeping. The snuggles were easy to come by and I soaked them up, the hubs too :)
Typical weekend for us, shopping and relaxing and eating, oh and of course coffee.

Also, miss Ella is SO close to crawling, seriously ANY day now....

Weekend recap- We're back!

It feels like I haven't posted in SO long, we have been busy over at the Broguiere house :( But it feels good to be back!

 

Let me catch you up....

 

 

 

 

As you can tell we are swimming-well learning the basics :) She LOVED it until we dunked them real quick under water.

 

 

 

 

 

We ate and LOVED blueberries!!

 

 

 

 

 



 

My family had a SURPRISE birthday party and for my 'Nanny' ...great aunt.... We also remembered my Uncles life, who went to be with God a year ago. It was a beautiful day.

DIY 20 Week Baby Picture

I have been trying to find cute ways to use little baby Aubri's sonogram pictures. If you're anything like us we have tons of these black and white photos all over, we LOVED looking at her in my belly :)

Here is a great way to display one! Most pregnancy's you get a long sonogram appointment between 19-21 weeks, so this project is great for everyone!

 

20 Weeks, awe! Look at that BIG head :)


 

20 weeks old :) STILL has a large head

 

 

 



I simply wrote with a sharpie on the frames matting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Steps to DIY 20 Week Baby Picture:

 

1. Copy 20 week sonogram photo to size you want

2. Take photo of your baby on its side at 20 weeks

3. Find a side by side frame (found mine at Target-of course)

4. Write with sharpie on the matting 20 weeks

5. Put in your frame and hang :)

 

That's it! Have fun with your project!

Let the festivities begin!

My husband officially has a.....FOUR day weekend! *now doing backflips* If the Fourth of July wasn't enough reason to celebrate, let's throw that in!

Today miss Aubriella and I mainly stayed indoors-It is RIDICULOUSLY hot here, not good baby weather :( But, hanging with this cool baby is always fun, and makes for good pictures!

 

 

This is DUKE, her puppy brother

He is a good sport :) and LOVES her to pieces

Here are some inspirational décor/food/drinks/amazingness links and pictures that hopefully get you motivated to create something fun for tomorrow, however you might be celebrating :) I can't wait to post which ones I made!

A little weekend recap :)

It is HOT here, I am already complaining...I know. Our weather in southern cali is pretty one season-which is awesome, but between July and September it gets a little too hot for me, unless of course I am in a bikini sipping a drink.

Other than our awesome weather- we had a FUN weekend! Aubri is full on eating twice a day now, which makes me so happy. Fun to watch her try new foods. PLUS we had a fun packed fam bam day in Santa Monica at the opening of our dear friends church, Antioch.

LOVE it out in LA-I feel my soul wants a city life sometimes....



Prunes!



Prunes are her FAV, although by these cute faces you can't tell



 

 

We spent some time at the park right by our house, Aubriella is loving the scenery.
