Hey y'all! It been a minute since I have updated or posted any forums on the site but I am making a vow to stay on top of it from here on out. Life has been a little hectic so just like everyone else in the world I to am learning to live in this new world. How have you been holding up? I honestly want to know so please don't hold anything back! So many changes has been happening and I am still trying to find new way to adjust. My kids have been home with me since march y'all! That is 5 WHOLE months of no child care!!! I have tried to do the homeschool thing and boy was I happy when "summer break" came! I am not a teacher honey! For those of you who are new to the page, I have 3 babies who all have different personalities. That means I have one child who needs just a little bit of guidance, my middle baby needs a lot of attention and active participation and guidance and the baby just runs wild and gets into everything. So needless to say, ya girl is going cray cray! Before quarantine started, I had started looking for work again. Clearly that is nearly impossible to do since I do not have child care and my husband has been gone to training since January. Has anyone found some other solutions to work or child care, especially if you do not have family in the area? I have even looked at work-from-home jobs and then I had to come to my senses because there was not way Id be able to get any work done with three small, very active and loud children. With that being said what are some things you have done to keep your kids entertained? In the beginning of quarantine, the kids were on a schedule for homeschool.Then after about 2 months, I had to give myself a summer break! Haha! We have been doing a lot of outdoor play, bike riding, and of course on super hot day, sprinkler fun. I'm not the best at planning activities for the kids so we have only done two arts and crafts projects with construction paper. Shamefully, I admit now that the iPad has been my sole source of absolute quiet time. I only hate the iPad because when I take them away they cry. I do not want my kids crying over damn electronics! It drives me absolutely CRAZY! So, if you have any other activities and or ideas to share please do so in this post. I am sure we could all benefit from some new ideas! Stay strong momma's, WE GOT THIS!

We have made it through yet another decade! Congratulations to you! As you reflect back on your last ten years, have you accomplished everything you set out to do? I can personally say, I have started many things and have not finished. I've given up on my ideas, myself and my passions. What kind of example am I setting for my kids?! Good grief! But there have been many things that I am proud of myself for as well. I am consistent in everything else in my life except for myself. If you know me, you know that I LOVEEEE to cook. I have started and stopped my own greatness because of fear of starting over every time my family and I moved to a new state. This time, I am giving it my all. I am a firm believer in speaking things into existence. I am manifesting my own greatness, confidence, and success! The great part about manifesting greatness is that you have the ability to do it for other people a well. So, with that being said, I am manifesting greatness for all the mothers in the world! I am proclaiming that this is the year we build genuine life-lasting friendships, support systems, and career and financial success. We will find passions and interests that have been lost since becoming a mother or wife. This is the start of a new decade to reconnecting with the world and finding out who we used to be versus who we want to be. Trusting and leaning on our "Sisters in Motherhood" to help guide us and give uplifting advice when needed. This is the year of the #MOMBOSS ! What are you manifesting into your life for 2020? I am manifesting a successful career in the culinary industry, spiritual growth, patience and understanding that things will happen when it is my time to shine! (Lord please grant me patience first lol)

I apologize for not posting but I have been super sick with the flu and strep throat! It has not been a fun holiday week for me. However, I am still blessed regardless! My baby boy turned 1 on thanksgiving and I was so full of emotions. I was sick the whole time but I refused to go to the hospital because I figured whatever I was feeling would go away with some cold medicine. Clearly it didn't! Nevertheless, we celebrated his birthday at home with a few close friends and my father-n-law. It was small and intimate and I was happy to see my baby make a mess with his birthday cake. I went to work the next day, on Black Friday and at that point I couldn't even feel my legs and my throat hurt to bad to even swallow. I ended up going to the emergency room and thats when they told me that I had the flu and strep throat. I had to get a penicillin shot in my booty and HONEY, it still hurts! LOL. so now I am home and my husband has "taken over" and has me quarantined int he guess room away from everyone. On another note, and reason to be blessed, today is our 4th wedding anniversary. He bought me flowers and a heating pad, my favorite chocolate and a gift card to Victoria Secret. What a man! LOVE IT! LOL. Of' course we can't do anything because im contagious and I definitely will not be stepping out the house with this yellow mask across my face! But like I said, I'm blessed regardless and I'll be happier when I start to actually feel better. So how was your Thanksgiving? What are you thankful for this season?
