Update: Comment issue fixed!!!!

What do you think I do All Day??!!!!!

The phrase stay at home mom really doesn't ring true. I know a whole crew of mothers and the last place you will find us is at home. Sometimes I wonder has it always been this way, are we the new Susie homemakers. Were Susie and Betty as involved as we are.

I hang with mothers who are hardcore when it comes to learning(I find myself somewhere in the middle). We definitely put our childrens education into our own hands. I know a lot of parent who believe that it is a teachers job to teach their kids. I disagree!!! You can find me and my crew in the oddest places adding education into whatever it is we are doing. A walk around the block is a learning experience for my son. We talk about the color of the leafs or can you read what that signs says? I try to never miss a opportunity for learning.

I have a friend who has a super toddler on her hands. Jayden, to put a name to this mini genius. At the age of 3 this little guy can speak two languages and read. His mother (my bestie) deserves lots of praise. Pat yourself on the back girlie.

We also break a lot of stereo types too, I get a kick out of my son answering questions that none of the other random kids know. Is it sad that I love when people ask his age and are shock that he know certain things? Watching my son educate other kids at the park about the bugs that they are playing with warms my heart.

So was Susie homemaker sitting at the kitchen table with her child? Are we the new generation of "stay at home" moms? I surely hope so.

Just to Hear You Say That

Even the most confident women needs to hear to hear praises or that they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

I am definitely blessed with the person I choose to be my partner and am blessed that he choose me(this thing only works if it goes both ways). We have had our ups and downs...oh YES we have, but at the end of the day there is no better feeling than having a conversation with my best friend.


I have learned and "conditioned" him that it is the simple things that keep this boat afloat. For instance I stop what I am doing when he comes home from work or just picking up something(without him asking)from the store that he said he needed/wanted.

I love that he kisses me on my forehead every morning before he leaves for work, and I still get the you need anything call before he comes home.

We still say Thank you to each other for all the simple things too. I still get a thank you for cooking dinner!!!!!!!

But what I LOVE the most is that he is a amazing father and that he truly takes me AS I AM(bio polar mess and all)<-----kidding

OK so this post might be a lil mushy gushy but again simply My Thoughts My Blog so I can do what i want!!

Right now we are definitely being tested.......but there is no doubt in my mind that my best friend and I will stand strong.

You Aint got to Leave but You got to get the Hell out of here!!!!

So my mother-in-law has moved in. Its been about 2 weeks........... the title of this entry speaks volumes.....any advice, from someone who has been here?

JUST THROW IT IN THE BAG(hoarder style)

A closet full of clothes I cant fit,
a chest full of perfume i don't spray,
and a vanity full of makeup I don't wear.


This is not a brag session, if you know me at all(which u probably don't)u wouldn't have to ask. By the way i know people with way more stuff.....*cough* My QUESTION is when too much is never enough???

Now that i am part of the stay-at-home mom crew, i off tend ask myself..self? Why do you need all this 'stuff"? I certainly don't need to wear Chanel mascara to the zoo.....or spray the latest Marc Jacob's fragrance while digging for worms with my son. So many questions..How did i became that girl who cared about brand name skincare? Makeup? When did i became tooooo guuuaaaddd for cover girl?

These are the questions i am forced to face everyday...i walk into my room and bathroom and i see "stuff".....i could even be classified as a baby hoarder....OK maybe that's to far...but u get my drift.

I recently started answering myself....am i to guuuaaaddd for drugstore makeup? HELL NO, its all i can afford now anyways. Why did i became so consumed with name brand crap? Well maybe because i worked and breathe skincare and makeup for 3 1/2 years. So maybe if i worked at a grocery store i would have a pantry full of food:)


*this is just a small dose of all the "stuff"

Define Family

.......family
We live in a time where we are able to choose our family. That blood is thicker than water is sooo last season. Most of the people i grew up calling auntie and cousins are not in anyway blood related to me and no one can tell me different. Family is whomever welcomes you with open arms. Family is a constant.
