So... Life's been a little crazy in here for me, but it's all good cuz a lot of stuff has happened and I LOVE being busy and doing stuff all the time and so I'm more than happy to be in constant movement tho definately I'm enjoying my days off and am more appreciative to my rare relaxation moments... :)

This weeknd was mostly spend on listening to Conference, taking naps, eating and just enjoying each other tho I cant's say I was not busy... :)

Just on the contrary when Bryan was gone for the Priesthood session yesterday evening, I managed to finish the laundry, did hand wash laundry as well, did my pedicure and manicure -- this time I went for a rock'n'roll black -- did some facials and just pumpered myself, not mentioning reading 4 books to Ollie and putting him to bed... :)

Last weekend my girlfriends and I went to the RS portion of the Conference and just before we listened to the wonderful talks (my favorite was by Barbara Thompson) we made 250 heart shaped pillows for the breast cancer patients and that made me feel sooo good inside, cuz first of all we helped other women out there and second of all they were just sooo cute! :)



Afterwards we all decided to go and have some icecream... Such a great night... :)

Also on Saturday morning Bry and I took Avi to the ZOO and he loved every moment of the trip... He was even behaving most of the time... lol

At the beginning of the week I had a chance to go to Tomball to the managers conference for Express and I've learned a lot about giving a wonderful customer service in our store... It was very positive and left me with the feeling of being empowered and being able to make changes for the better... :)

The end of the week got a little hectic due to the floorset and working many hours but it's all good cuz I had an amazing weeknds afterwards... :)

I also finished reading my The Boleyn Inheritance book that I really enjoyed and also am about to finish another one -- There Is No Death -- today or the latest tomorrow... :)

Avi on the other hand learned new words this week and I'm so impressed with him! He can say Dziadzius (which means Grandpa in Polish), Spongebob, bubble and starts speaking full sentences... Soooo happy for that.... :)

I was starting to wonder and trully worrying about his speech...

And tomorrow I think I'll have an easy day at work since I'm opening and have the whole afternoon/evening off and then on Tuesday I only have a meeting in the morning and then I'm going to have my hair done... Soooo excited!!!

And now I'd better go to bed and get some sleep... :)

Mmmm... It's been awhile since I last posted something on my blog but I thought about it more and more and miss my little blogging procedures, so here I am... :)

And since I have a new computer it should be easier and faster way to keep my little journal... :)

I'm back from Europe and miss it deerly every day, but know that the day will come when I'll be able to go there again...

But for now I just purchased the tickets for my Mom and she's coming on the 18th of October and stays up until the 1st of February... That makes me soooo happy cuz it'll be the first Christmas that I'll be able to spend with my family in the US...
My Dad flies in on the 16th of December and leaves the 4th of January... So I'll have all polish delicious meals right here... Mmmm... Just the thought of it makes me smile... :)

I'm still working at Express and it goes well... It'll be my second Holiday season in there with a little twist cuz I'll be managing this year and I think I'm pretty excited about that as well... :)

Ollie's growing way too fast and I think I'm going to sign him up for the Preschool once a week at first just to see how it goes... :) I just got a call yesterday that they have an opening -- he was on the waiting list since August -- and he can be a part of the big Preschool Family... lol

Being at the gym is great as well, tho I'm NOT shedding off those extra pounds from Europe... :( But I guess I'll get there eventually... :)
Yoga class is definately my favorite and I feel pain when I can't go when I have to go to work... :(
But I also discovered Soul Grooves class that is all about dancing and I can feel like dancing queen once a week... :) LOVE it...

Speaking of queens I'm reading the second book by Philippa Gregory -- The Boleyn Inheritance -- love it almost as much as I loved The Other Boleyn Girl...
When I'm done with it probably I'll start reading another of her books... :) Or read a new dan Brown book that just came out last week... :) Tho Bry didn't like it that much, but I still can enjoy it... :)

And that would be all that kind of happened in the past couple of months but now I'll be more on track cuz I want to publish this blog into the book again... :) And so I have to stay on track...

Hope ur day is great and tomorrow will be more updates about my life... :) lol
So just stay tuned... lol

So tomorrow we're all flying to London and stay there till Saturday morning and then we take off for France and Spain... I can't say that I'm not suuuuper excited for that but before I leave I want to post some pictures from Poland cuz later I don't think I'll post any from Ollie's little adventures thru the park... lol

He loves to watch birds and he calls them "kaka" and tells them "No" all the time when they're trying to eat some bread that people give them but he LOVES to feed them too and it's sooo cute when he does that... lol

Sometimes as my Mom, Olivier and I go grocery shopping in the morning and the weather is nice, we let Ollie loose and let him play at the playground by our house... :)

But most of the time he just goes outside after his 2-3h nap with Grandpa Zbyszek and he LOVES those trips the most... Grandpa lets him get dirty and run around like crazy and takes his little bike on those trips as well (I guess my Mom and I are NOT THAT exciting) lol




Grandpa also spoils Lil'O cuz he takes him for ice cream afterwards...




When they come back my Lil'O is EXHAUSTED and while he's waiting for his bath he likes to watch "kajki" (cartoons) and just relax on my parents bed...




Then he's ready for his bath and the funniest thing is he LOVES to put his little teddy bear for "time out" cuz most of the time his little teddy bear doesn't want to take a bath and Ollie needs to punish him while he's laughing like this... lol



Then Ollie goes to sleep and I have time to play with my Mom "Chinczyk" and just get upset with her when I lose... lol

But I still cherish short moments like this when Ollie comes to me and wants to cuddle... lol

LOVE THAT!

The only problem is... Ollie need a haircut and as soon as we walked in to the barber, Ollie was on his way out... :(
Oh well I guess his hair is going to get loooong... lol

HAPPY BELATED FATHER'S DAY!!!

Just got back from Sokolniki and I must say that I had wonderful time there during Father's Day weeknd.... Not mentioning my cute little Olivier who's totally IN LOVE with that place tho he missed his Daddy quite a bit.... :(
He's NEVER bored in there and is finding more and more stuff to do each time we're there...






And while doing it he's always finding the way to make me laugh... lol




Here he's eating THE BEST bread ever making funny faces that only he can do... lol






After having so much fun he takes naps and he's really out!!!




Now it's raining pretty bad and so we had to go back but
I bet we'll go there again... lol

Europe...

I've missed almost 2 months of blogging but I think it's time to go back to writing everything that has been going on in my life because it looks like that the past 2 months are just a blurry dark hole in my memory and it's hard to recall anything... lol And so starting right now... I'm back in Europe... :) I had an amazing flight thanks to my friend, because I was able to meet the pilots and was moved to a business class pretty fast on my flight to London... Pretty sweet... :)
My flight to Warsaw went pretty smoothly and I got to Lodz in no time, which was super cool... :)

Now I've been in Lodz for almost 2.5 weeks and I'm having a wonderful time... :)
I went shopping to my favorite stores -- Zara, H&M -- and got the cutest outfits for Olivier, not forgeting about myself, of course, and so I got some summer dresses and skirtsthat are the coolest!!!! But hey, it's Europe... :)
My Mom and I took Olivier with us and when we went to eat something afterwards he was just the cutes little boy EVER.... :)



We also went to Sokolniki -- the place where we have a cabin in the forest -- and had a blast... Olivier could not get enough of his freedom, running like crazy most of the time...
We grilled and relaxed and took a LOT of pictures!!! lol








Another fun thing we did was going to the Aquarium in Manufaktura and that was sure a lot of fun... :)




Ollie also enjoyed going to the Kids Place...







And going to the Pikolo Theater here in Lodz with my parents.... :)




So far so good... I'll post more pictures from our trip another day but I hope you'll all enjoy those pics... :)

It's probably time for another post just keep truck of things that I've been doing lately... :) And so today I want to make a post about my cute kids that I teach at church... Most of the time they are super challenging, but there are many many moments that are so cool... And when I leave, I'll definitely miss them... :(





From Olivier news, he's more and more like me... :)
For example when I was little, I was terrorizing my parents during morning chores like getting dressed, since I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to wear and so Ollie is the same... He has his own idea of what he wants to wear that day and he tries to terrorize me, but I'm fighting back, but still it costs me a LOT to stay calm and sometimes going to work doesn't seem like a bad thing at all... :)
Even if it's another floorset and I have to stay at work till 1 or 2 in the morning, like today... :(

Other than that I have a new plan on how to stay focused on going to the gym and making an effort to look better, since last week I didn't work out at all... :(
Only one day last week I went to Lifetime Fitness, but decided to hang out by the pool and that was soooo relaxing and nice...
But today I did spinning class and tomorrow on my day off, I'm planning to take soul grooves class, which I took a couple of weeks ago and I loved it, so keep your fingers crossed for me... :)
Friday I'm going out with my friends and I'll try sauna for the first time and I'm definitely looking forward to that... :) After sushi dinner.... Mmmmm... Delightful... :)

Also, before I forget, I want to report that I'mm addicted to Ceasar Salad... I tried it at my friends house last week and now all I wanto to eat is ceasar salad... Pretty funny... :)

Oh, Id better go and put Ollie for a nap and start getting ready for work or I'll look like mess... :)

So the other night Bry and I went to my first major baseball game and I had tons of fun... I was super excited and was taking a lot of pictures before...



And during the game... :)

We met some of his coworkers there and they made it even more fun, since we shared funnel cake and homemade vanilla icecream sundae together and we teased Bry a little bit, since he was cheering for LA Dodgers and his coworkers were all Houston Astros fans... Jennifer and I even put this little Astros cap on him and he was so funny... :)



We even found time to be gooffy... :)




We should have more outings like that... :)
