I returned home from Jamaica last Tuesday and I am still reflecting over the fabulous time that I had; the adventure, the laughs, the tears, the inspiration that ensued. I will spare the full nitty gritty and break it all down into a series of post-reflections, but today I want to highlight the lovely female artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the rolling hills. These women inspire me to take my creative works to another level, tap into new genres of creative works even, be free, and also step up my sustainable efforts. These ladies are super talented ...

For The Trendy & Stylish Kid: Cookie’s Shopping Haul

September 11, 2011 · Fashion · 4 comments

As the weather begins to transition from scorching hot, to a gentle cool, and Jayden grows a little taller, I realize that it’s time to do a little shopping to prepare him for the season. Marshalls, Old Navy, and Crazy 8 are the stores that I usually shop for Jayden’s clothing, but I think I will be adding Cookie’s to the list. I was offered the opportunity to do a little shopping at CookiesKids.com. I was slightly familiar with the store, but I assumed that they sold school uniforms (their specialty) and basics. I’m so glad that I decided to ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Living Feels Good

I’ve been blogging less it seems. Once or twice every 10 days. My internal blogging alarm is naturally set to do so. And there’s a reason for that. I’ve been living and taking the necessary steps to take care of myself and my family. I’ve been less active on Twitter and Facebook, which are common distractions. I’ve also been ignoring my PR requests folder because I have enough going on and it’s just not healthy always being involved in something and falling behind in those things. Not being able to deliver bruises my ego, deep black and blue. I have ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

This is the way we paint inside.

Our days have been filled with painting lately. Outside, inside, and even the tub! Since painting is such a fun activity to do, but can be messy, we try to limit it to outside. But when I decided to paint one of the walls in Jayden’s room one evening, I had to improvise. I let him help out a bit, I mean come on, how fun is it doodling on a wall without being scolded for it? Ha! I felt that he’d appreciate the painted wall in his room even more if he was a part of the experience. So ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

The sister that I never had was right there on Facebook.

“Do you have siblings?“, a reader and friend once asked me. And I never fully answered that question. At least I don’t think I have. By now, some of you may have figured out. And the answer could vary from “No.” to “Maybe.”. Well, here’s the answer: I am my mom’s only child, but I’m one of three (and possibly more) of my father’s children. I have only known of two of them. One, my older brother (from another mother), who I’ve met once when I was a little girl, and an older sister (from another mother other than my ...

I intended to post this last Saturday, but because I cannot seem to get ANYTHING done on time, Wednesday’ll have to do. Saturday went a little something like this… Splishin’ and splashin’ in the pool. His blue flame SPF suit is up for grabs at She {hearts} It =). California Poppy Blooming Zinnia Corn Silks Male Cucumber Flower For old times’ sake, Greg put a onesie on Jayden and he didn’t want to take it off. He kept saying that he wanted to be a silly boy.

Encouragement: Growing up is when I needed it the most.

Encouragement is near and dear to me. Growing up is when I needed it the most. With Jayden starting school in the next year, it pains me to think about him suffering in the ways that I did. He is such a happy little boy and no one as long as I’m his mother, will rob him of that. I had a rough time growing up. This is the condensed version. I received my share of ridicule in school… because I cherished good grades (before they started to decline), because I wore glasses, because my fourth grade teacher would defend ...
