Saturday Mornings Are the Best!
Every day I wake up early to take the puppy out, then feed the pup, then out again to finish his business. Then, it’s on to the kiddos and the start of our very busy day. First, it’s baths, then the fight of getting dressed and it’s never in the right clothes or the right sweater, o and let’s not get started on the socks, mommy those don’t match! So, it’s the battle of finding matching socks! Then it’s downstairs for breakfast. One kid wants the same thing every morning, chocolate toast, so that’s easy, but the other one, omg Heaven forbid if you give him the same thing two…

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Three people in one house hold: one morbidly obese according to the scale, one as fit as can be according to the scale and one maybe a tad bit skinny according to the scale. Now which one would you think you’d worry about being unhealthy?! Hold up, not so fast….first let me start by explaining why this topic has come up. In October, my cousin lost her husband, a man not too much older than me, he was overweight and didn’t workout regularly nor did he have a healthy diet, but he died unexpectedly nonetheless. During the time I cried every time I thought about it, but not for the…

The Most Important Things to Know Before Marriage
You ever wonder why the divorce rate is so high nowadays compared to older generations? You see it all the time people who you think are the perfect couple end up making the announcement they are getting a divorce. Or the opposite, people who you honestly think are so different that they won’t last a year last fifty years! I’ve thought about it a lot since I’ve gotten married and even more so before I got married. It’s crazy really, there’s no rhyme or reason for why some get divorced while others stay together, but I think I’ve figured out some contributing factors to why this is happening by the…

Love At Any Age
I have seen some major heartache in my life but I have also witnessed some even more heartache and nasty breakup from the older generations in my family. And the one thing I have learned from seeing and experiencing it myself is this… There is no right age to find love! And I don’t mean this “short lived” love, I mean true love! Take for instance my uncle, he has been married before, he has had different girlfriends over the years, but 25 years ago he met the one! My Aunt Theresa. And the love you see them share is something I’ve never seen before; growing up was gross to…

Three Types of Love
Three Loves I saw a post the other day that got me thinking. This post was about the three loves a person has in the course of their life. And this post brought light to the topic of love. So, I thought I’d share my take on the topic. So, to start let me explain the three different types of loves. The first love is the love that most often happens when you are young and you don’t think of it as love and you grow apart or break ties over something silly, but when you get older and look back on it, you realize it was love. The second…

Deciding to get Pregnant
I’ve discussed in an earlier post about my son’s birth, but I haven’t mentioned the journey I took that lead me to that point. Most people don’t know this, but I never wanted to have my own children. I wanted to adopt. I wanted the guarantee factor of having a child that looked like me. Or at least had the same color of skin. You see I grew up being darker than anyone in my family and because of this I felt different. I felt out of place. I felt like I didn’t belong, sometimes. Not that my family ever made me feel this way, they didn’t, but I made…

Keys for Success…in your Marriage
What’s the key to a successful marriage? I’ve wondered about this for almost as long as I’ve been alive. And since I’ve been married for three years now finding the answer to this million dollar question is even more important. And here’s what I’ve realized thus far. There is no simple answer to this question. My entire life I’ve had one example of a successful marriage, my grandparents. As of last month they have been married 60 years, raised four kids, my grandfather retired from the military and then did night school in order to start a new career as an Electrician, all while my grandmother raised their four kids…
