just go to Sleep! --- iWISH!

i Really do wish that going to sleep was something i could do when i got ready!! i even tried giving myself a bedtime{1030p}. I've not made it. Well, today is Sunday night, and it's GO time! I am taking two courses to complete my B.S. in Marketing and let me tell you... This has been the toughest semester session {they're only 8 weeks} yet! I can't seem to get control of my time. Summer is now here and the kids must be entertained, hubby calls and i run , and by golly Micah runs our house!! lol.



Here's a picture of he & i that i took while i was up late last night writing a paper. {yes, he is doing the 'motor boat', his dad taught him that! been spittin' every since #yuck #boys

Tomorow is VBS again and the girls are pumped! I will make a conscious effort to keep this week from being too eventful. Again, that session I was talking about is coming to a close and I must focus. To top this weekend off, my cousin is getting married at the Trevisio and I am so excited for date night, it'll be great! #motivation

Until Next Time.. Good Night!

hold YOURSELF accountable!

this post is Literally going to make me laugh, cry, & SCREAM! i'm thinking, i've been working It, working Out for a little over 4 months now and THIS>>>
Seriously, i MUST do Better! .. i KNOW much better than to think I can work out and that's it! my eating habits have been nothing shy of Horrible! grab a hold my friend, grab a hold..

Yes, I breastfeed, pump, nurse {whatever you'd like to call it!} & i have GAINED more weight and weigh more now than i EVER have in my life.. Over eating and indulging in sweet & savory foods {more than often} will not get me there! funny thing is, those that Really KNOW me know that I have always been very conscious of my food intake!


Let's face it! I got comfortable. but this Too shall Pass! From this day forward, here's my pact with myself! i Already know that 80% of your body's makeup is based on what you EAT! if you know better, do better. now it's 2 a days and even more whole grains, green leafy stuff, Tae Bo, pilates, & Power Pump. Sweat, Burn, & Sweat. But ultimately, put the chocolat chip cookie dough dip down! #blast #realness # accountablity #honesty


Oh, and yes, I cut my hair, Again! i absolutely LOVE it! Can't stop the hubby from gazing & .... ! {weight gain or not} lol, time out for Foolishness!

take me to the Water..

Today has been a day of utmost gratitude for our family! Our oldest child and daughter, Dior, was baptized this afternoon and the support she received from our family is phenomenal. When we arrived to the church she realized that she was nervous, but has often made it very clear that she Loves the Lord and has accepted Him as her Lord and Savior.


Here's a picture of Dior and family. What a joy it is to know that parenting can be this rewarding! My hubby and I have Always agreed we would raise our children under the fear and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4



Dior's Papa ( My Dad) took this shot from his seat! I was up there with her full of His love. There's no other love that will compare. All those trips to church as a kid paid off! lol..

Now to get ready for my first full week of summer with three kids at home. I plan to have them so busy that they can't see straight! LOL.. no really, it'll be a great summer I'm sure. We have lots planned and I am grateful that I am able to be with them as they grow. God bless you all and thanks for your interests!
