Women to Women Encouragement

Someone will always be prettier.
They will always be smarter,
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.

Think about it...
the prettiest women in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored women on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the word says if i have not love, I am nothing.
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say " I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"

"Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen."




It's a New Year and with a New Year usually comes resolutions and disappointment for me. Depression sets in that the holidays are over and it feels as though there is not much to look forward to. I have to report however that this year has been different. Not saying I don't have things I want to improve on or change but resolutions with high hopes and not allot of progression aren't in the works this year.

Overall I am super happy! 25 weeks pregnant today I am feeling good and blessed to have one sweet healthy son and another healthy baby girl on the way. Can't be on a strict diet or exercise plan but try to get in my water, light workouts and eating overall pretty good. Clementines are my addictions as we speak. I am happy with my marriage, love where we live and the changes I have made in my life since moving here. I am deeply in love with my husband and have really tried to let him know just how much I love and appreciate him. I usually am down on my looks however being pregnant you must take what you have and make the most of it. I have spent the weekend and today organizing and it feels good. I am surrounded by the most amazing women who have taught me some great lessons and I feel so lucky to call them friends. Overall I am counting my blessings and looking forward to a wonderful year. I hope life is bringing you the happiness you deserve.

Need to get back to the blogging, one resolution that does need to be made. At least this is a start, a poem I have wanted to share with everyone for sometime now. I hope you enjoy! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! It's official, I am old! This is the first year since I was little that I missed the welcoming of the New Year. After a late trip to the store Jason fixed us an amazing dinner while I put bug to sleep. After he went down we had grilled pork chops with caramelized onions on top, baked potatoes, garlic croissants, a krab cheese ball for an appetizer and kewl ( sorry for the spelling) salad. It was very yummy!! We cleaned up dinner and went upstairs to watch TV. I fell asleep around 11:15 and woke up at midnight to the sound of fireworks going off. I briefly rolled over to kiss my sweetheart and back to bed I went until Alex woke me up at 7:15 this morning. Yes he slept through the night again, let's not jinx it!! Yup what an exciting night huh? I hope you did something fun.

On New Years I always take a minute to look back over the year and towards the future. Last year brought us the best gift no money could ever buy. Alex has brought our family loads of joy and laughter. I look forward to watching his firsts during 2008. To look back I remember New Year of 2000, I was pretty down that year. I went to bed shortly after midnight wondering where my life would take me. I was anxious for the arriving of my niece Shae ( her b-day is the 5th). Little did I know that I would meet my handsome hubby only months later and create a life together that would put me here in 2008 a wife and a mother with lots to be thankful for.

Do you have resolutions for the New Year? I do, different than ever before though. I will share them with you in the next few days. I hope that you have a Happy New Year! I will leave you with a few pictures from the past week.

Alex's surprised look! Here he is in the tub. He usually takes showers with Dad so this was a rare occasion, he still isn't sure he likes it.

He finally warmed up to the idea and seems to be enjoying his bath here.

Here is Alex caught being naughty. It's hard to be mad at a cute face like that. We have had problems changing his diaper the past few days because he constantly rolls over on his tummy. I managed to put this diaper on while he was on his tummy. It wasn't easy!!
