My heart is so happy!... And a giveaway!

---Contest closed---

OK, so I am trying to kill two birds with one stone with this post today. First, I wanted to show my valentines creations I made to decorate our home. The kids and I absolutely love them! I just hung them around the house today, but I have a few more to make. I also want to make a valentines garland, but I'm not sure exactly how I will make it yet.

Secondly, my heart really IS happy today!

You see, for the past couple of years, I've been wanting to take an online course to become a Holistic Nutritionist. It became a passion of mine, when I found out that my son had food sensitivities that disguised themselves to make it look as if he had ADHD. I would love to work with parents to help them feed their children healthier, and just help people in general (and even help myself in the process! God only know I could be healthier right now!), give cooking classes, etc.

But when your a stay at home mom and hubby works away, your far down your own list of priorities. I know there are other moms out there that will agree with me on this. When the New Year rolled around, I made the decision that this would be my year. A year that I would learn how to take care of myself, do things for me. Because a happier/healthier me, is a happier/healthier mama and wife.

Well, today, I finally just signed up for my Advanced Nutrition course! I should receive my material within the next 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier (I even did a happy dance)! This means that within the next 28 months, depending how long it takes me, I will be a certified Holistic Nutritionist. To make things even better, tonight is the night I start participating in a weekly yoga class (for the next 10 weeks). I've done yoga before, but only at home using a Gaiam yoga DVD I have. And though I love it, I've been wanting to follow a yoga class for a long time. But when your hubby works away and is not home in the evenings, it makes these things almost impossible for me. So how did I managed that? I have the most amazing friends! One I am attending the class with, the other accepted to watch my kids while I go to class.

So you see, my heart is so happy right now, it's singing. It's bouncing in my chest. It's excited and content, all at the same time.
