Life Lately

Wow, January has already been off to a very busy start! I can't believe the first month of 2015 has almost come to an end :( This month absolutely flew by. We have been going strong on our commitment to the gym and eating healthy and its really a huge change getting use to especially with everything else going on like work, Harper's activities and just everyday life (ha); but I'm already feeling so much better and really feeling less bloaty and chubby already! Woo! Harper also loves going to the gym with us. She had a rough little start but now she walks right in and loves playing with their play kitchen and doll house and usually doesn't even want to leave. 

I officially have 13 weddings booked for 2015, yes 13, holy shit. I just got a little panicky! But very excited and extremely grateful that people want me to capture their most special day. Blah I could cry! Happy tears. This is TWP's year and it is going to be a huge one!!

Harper has been her amazing little self, only better which I don't even know how that is possible. She is 90% potty trained. We are still battling nighttime and naps but she does awesome during the day and when we are out and about. She seems to only have accidents at home which have just started lately but it was kind of a bad week so we are hoping this week is better. She is funnier everyday I swear. The other day at Target she was just saying the cutest things and she goes "Mommy, I'm gonna be a movie star!" :) It was so out of nowhere  and I was giggling at her and my heart was melting and then she goes "and a princess!". I was like yes baby you can be whatever you want! Then we get to the toy section and she found a frozen microphone and turns on the frozen karaoke machine and pretends to belt out let it go! It was flipping adorable and I took about 200 hundred pictures of it. She has been singing a lot lately mostly the same frozen lines over and over and she loves the show Strawberry Shortcake so she is always singing the theme song to that. I love hearing her sweet voice all day long. Today she is officially closer to being three than two and it is so sad. She really is almost a big girl and truly truly not a baby, well always my baby but you know. Wah. She is growing up so fast :( I am very excited about this year for her though. She will have her first dance recital, turn three , start preschool, and be a flower girl in my best friends wedding this fall! 

January has been so amazing to us. If this is any indication of how this year will be, we are sooo truly blessed!!

Apparently I was practicing a lot of selfies ahaha and my skin has been worse than ever!! I need help!!!

We both love our new tennies!

Trying to keep it fancy even at the gym with sparkle leggings!

Singing her little heart out!! :) :)

Getting Fit in 2015

Well its official. We joined a gym! Woo! Its been months of me asking, babe, can we join the gym now, babe, babe. Finally, were really getting serious about getting fit. We've been eating clean and now this will really be the boost we need and I am so excited! Today was our first day and I felt so weird. I felt like the nervous newbie, eek! It's funny because about three years ago I was a mega gym rat. I was actually unhealthily obsessed with the gym and eating clean to the point where I was never happy and never satisfied with how I looked. Thank god for the amazing changes in my life since then but I am now ready to get back into that healthy (happy) lifestyle again! I am one extra lucky girl too because Nick is a certified personal trainer so I have a free trainer all the time! Our plan today did not go as planned though. We joined a gym with a great day care area that Harper can go to while we do our thing so I was really excited for her to be in the same building as us and still be able to workout. She went in the room great but about 20 minutes later, I went and checked on her and she was a crying mess! She was freaking out so hard she couldn't catch her breath :( We had to stop for the day and just tried to talk to her and see if we could come back tomorrow and she calmed down and agreed to try again. I really hope it gets better because it would be so amazing for Nick and I to be able to lift together and bring Harps with us so, crossing our fingers for a better day!

Can we just talk about the other great thing about working out, (besides a hot bod) the clothes; and shoes!! duh! I have a serious, serious addiction to the so so fab, Lululemon!!!! I became hooked when I just wanted a nice thick pair of black leggings that could double has running around and lounge pants so I bought them and the obsession started there. I have since basically been living in my lulu gear. I actually can't remember the last time I wore "real" clothes to leave my house. It can totally happen though with lulu because they make workout and yoga clothes that are more fashion forward and not so "workout-y". There is not one thing there that I wouldn't love love love! I highly recommend everything lulu!

A few of my faves

Pants | Sports Bra | Tee | Scuba Hoodie | Vinyasa Scarf | Headband

Nike Shoes | Polar Heartrate monitor | Sports Bra | Gym Bag | Leggings/Tights

I'm sorry but when I have cute workout gear it definitely motivates me to want to go and work hard. I know its weird but whatevs. My polar really really helps too because its so awesome to look down and see your calorie count and heart rate going up while you're working hard. I've also had it for almost 4 years now and it works great, just needs battery changes a lot because it never turns off. I really hope all my motivation around here will help me get back into shape and back to loving my body which is what its really all about! Anyone else getting fit this year?! Lets help motivate each other!! :)

New Year

Happy New Year friends!

I am so excited about 2015. There are so many amazing things that are happening this year and so many goals I hope to achieve. Before I talk about my goals and resolutions lets talk about the obvious first...

NEW YEAR, NEW BLOG

HARPER & CO.
Please follow me again on bloglovin'!!!! :)

I am so excited for this change. I literally just thought, I'm over my blog name, its too young like and I wanted a more grown up and "family" oriented blog name. This blog is still all about Harper and her growing up but I also like to share lifestyle like posts and I am hoping to share some fitness post this year too. Thank you so much to all my amazing followers! I promise I won't have another name change anytime soon; Or at least until we maybe add to our family someday ;) I am still trying to get everything changed around with the name switch and I hope you can still see my posts in your blogger feed! If you go to all your blogs and find mine in the list, unfollow, and refollow and all my posts will show back up! Thank you! xoxo
