One Year Old Photos

August 07, 2016/ Meagan Kludt

Vienna is ONE! We officialy are parents of a toddler!

We recently have partnered up with Jennan Oaks, a local Lake Chelan Photographer and shot a short set of photos to remember her first birthday! Enjoy!

This is me, with my steam mop, smiling.
I’m all about things that make my life easier + more enjoyable! I love a clean house and for YEARS have paid to have a house cleaner come once a month. But I’ve decided to go a few months without and spent that money instead investing in our house cleaning equipment.
You guys. If you live in a home, you might need to check these things out.. Purchase One: robot vacuum. Is there anything better than getting home DAILY and having those vacuum lines on the carpet?! 🤤
Purchase Two: Steam mop. Just wow. It works about 10X better than my old mop and is 100X easier to get mess off the floor than my swiffer!
I’ll link what I got under ‘Shop Amazon’ a ‘Household Items’!

It’s the last 80 degree day I can see on the weather app so mama brought out the last of her summer skirts! 🙌🏼 I love this sunshine, but after having the fireplace on, cooking soup and fall diffuser blends, I’m definitely ready for colder days and lounging in leggings! 📸 Skirt linked in bio

This is my Circus. These are my monkeys.

Last week I go a message from a gal in regards to my two-a-day workouts, she basically just said it was a lot. And she’s right, working out two times a day is a lot! But I’m at a point in my fitness where it’s achievable for me. I’ve lost about 20+ lbs of weight and am now building muscle. Let me be VERY clear though, I did not lose weight by going to the gym. Yup, I’ll say it again. I DID NOT LOSE WEIGHT BY GOING TO THE GYM. Rather I first switched up my eating habits and focused my energy on building a healthy relationship with food. After starting that process, I started going on walks every other day and doing low-level yoga, slowly building a base of muscle before getting into the gym and weight lifting.
All of this to say, if your wanting to lose weight, it starts in the kitchen. If you at all think you might need to switch things up here are some things I’ve tried: -Pescatarian (mostly, I still eat meat two meals a week)
-Limiting Dairy (I eat cheese, maybe servings a week)
-Gluten Free (+no corn or soybeans)
-Eat More Plants (plants make up about 70% of my diet)

I’d love to know what you’re doing or anything else you’d like to know about my journey with wellness!

LAST, first day of pre-school.. I’m surprisingly not emotional about Vienna going back to school, but more so emotional about what next year will bring. This is her last year of pre-school and we couldn’t be more excited for our lil punkin-pie to be learning and growing with a great group of kids and teacher by her side!
Side note, she is her mamas girl and was mostly excited about wearing her new fancy socks.. ((see today’s stories about how we deal with socks in my house, and it might make more since..)) 😂
Cheers to new school years friends!

He’s T W O ! Happy birthday lil buddy! We love you so so much!

Two-a-day workouts are no joke. Day 1/75 and I’M HERE FOR IT. Starting over again sucks.. remember that Meagan. 12 days down the drain, but I found my weakness and I’m learning!

Here’s how it works, 75 days of: -A diet of your choosing, must include no acahol
-1 gallon of water daily
-Two 45 minute workouts a day, one must be outside
-Read 10 pages of a book
-Take a progress picture daily

The concept is, to get yourself in the mindset of getting the tough things done. Mental strength can be built. 💪🏼 Watch me go. ✌🏼 *I talk about this more on my stories today!* #75HARD

One of the most amazing quotes I’ve heard, and overall most transformational concepts I’ve learned is about Joy. I use to think once I had my dream job, a husband, children, that home, a bigger paycheck THEN I would be happy. You guys. JOY & HAPPINESS IS NOT A DESTINATION. Listen to these words. 'Being full of joy is like being full of breath. No one’s lungs are constantly full, for it is necessary to exhale as well as to inhale. Nevertheless the supply of oregon remains constant. Holding on to joy is like holding one’s breath; the very act turns the joy stale. Why cling to one little lungful when a limitless supply is available? We are not going to suffocate any more than God is, whose breath is in and all around us. Knowing this, we are free to let go, to exhale, to feel all of our feelings as we have them, denying nothing.'

So fun that my little girl is big enough to come to girls lunch dates! We had a great time at Karma 💕

The last Lake Boys music night of the summer.. so we had to do something a little special and make mini-fan shirts! We love you Lake Boys! Thanks for all the fun memories this summer! 💙

Jameson has been waving at the yellow helicopter in the sky for as far back as we can remember. His obsession with Dale and the yellow copter came to an all time high this summer, so we thought it would be fun to surprise the little buddy with an epic ride around the lake! He didn’t say a word the entire time, but was pumped when we got off and insisted on taking my phone around the winery and showing everyone the adorable videos of him with Dale on the helicopter! 💛

Enjoying these last few days of summer (while simultaneously counting down the days until school starts)..
