YES We Are Back at IT Again!!!!!! :-)

Ok so I have an embarrassing confession to make. Before I die, I would love to write a book! I know as weird, off & corny as that sounds, I think I would have a fun memorable time! Whether it may be a children's book dedicated to my kids or just a novel book about my family of some sort! I don't know, just don't mind my ramblings :)

Writing has always been something I loved :) but I loathed it during school. Weird I know :) maybe it's the topics I didn't like or the books that we read weren't my cup of tea. During class, in order for me to stay awake, especially during the super boring classes (like history + a boring-er teacher not so good! Lol) I would have a clean sheet of binder paper & literally I would write different song lyrics on each line. Every line was a different song & I would fill that bad boy up real quick!!!! :)

So why are we talking about WRITING?

YES OH YES I have gained a new BABY to add to my collection :)

Isn't she a Beauty??? Now I just need some name suggestions :) I already had Dream, Harmony & SkyBlaze.... I'm thinking of calling her either Hope or Faith... Tate, you got any ideas since you're the GURU of Journal writings & naming her babies??
:)

She just looks so brand new ready to be written in & broken into :)
And there's my bookmarker I want to use when I do start to write in her unfilled pages!!!
I just can't wait to write!!!! I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it :)


Thanks to my awesome brother Mo for buying me my new baby!!! We agreed if he bought me this, I will buy him some white & black T's & I will surprise him & throw a couple of Fresh Apparel's new Bay Area shirts that just came out :) I'm just waiting for the Unga Reunion shirts to come in so I can send it altogether :)

Happy Thursday my loves xo

Another Fun School Year!!!!

Man I can't believe this school year is officially in session :)

Morning drop offs, Packing lunches on the day he doesn't want what the school is having for lunch, 2 different pick up times : Jonah is off @ 12:00pm everyday (Montessori Kindy schedule)
Isaiah is a full day.
Ironing clothes early in the am bc they say their clothes are 'too cold' to put on in the am, rushing a bowl of cereal or a piece of fruit down their throats before their off to school.
Sometimes tardy getting a late slip from the office, rainy days they still have to get up even tho they're freezing cold. Mee too!!!
Volunteering hours at school to get your 30 hours of volunteer time per year. Back to School Nights & Parent Teacher Conferences 2xs a year.
Homework packets to complete w sometimes a whining child, putting them to bed even while the sun is out & my kids are asking 'but Mom, it's not nighttime yet, the sun is still out. That means we can still play!'
A couple of undecided books to read at bedtime before each of the boys say their short funny innocent prayer before bed.

Yes!!! Cheers to all my Hardworking Mommies for our never ending duties when school is in session!!!! :) here's to another great productive purposeful year!!!

And did I mention school forms galore??? Well that too :)
We can do it!!!!

Trying to Get Back into My Groove

I'm so excited!!!!! First off, my older 2 boys start school tomorrow & I am so excited to start a new habit by running @ 6am!!!!! My Hubby says he'll be more than happy to join me so I can't wait!!!!

Back in Feb- March I started joggin (thanks to my inspirees: Star & Gen) & in a couple months I was running up to 3 miles & I felt absolutely great!!!

My goal is to surpass my 3 miles & go for 6 miles but really aiming for 10 miles! I know it's kind of out there, but I'd rather underestimate, under-promise but overdeliver :-)

Now wish me luck!!!!!

It is Time to Buckle Down & Get Things In Crystal Clear FOCUS....

Whether I admit to myself or not, I have a big issue w 'Time Management!'

I just sometimes feel like whenever the day ends, I feel like I could've used up my TIME slot more productively. I feel sometimes as if I am feeling Deja vu everyday & I need to do more.

My Hubby & I just got back from Fresno, Ca (about a 3 hour drive) for a business convention. We usually have one every 3-4 months. This time was the very first time in CA!!!!! We were just ecstatic bc usually it's on the mid-west/east coast bc the numbers of the attendees are greater than here :-) so that can only mean 1thing: CA is growing!!!!! Were excited about the LIFE pre-launch we got see & layout for us!!! We are just so fired up @ all the great things that have been happening & even greater things that are about to explode = $$$$$ :-)

So I feel like I need to help change/improve myself inorder to help & serve others so I'm relatable & teachable :-)

I was advised by my amazing mentor to read 'Eat That Frog' to help me overcome my time management hurdle. I just started last night & I love this book!!!!!

I have already set some goals (faith, family, fitness, fun, finance) for myself that HAD to be written down! A goal not written down is easily just wishful thinking or just a fantasy.

I'm excited to start purposeful new habits that will be beneficial for me in the longrun & not just for the present! I'm a work in progress & I should always be a student just striving to help/improve myself. No matter how old I get. I can't wait for things to slowly fall into place when everything is alligns perfectly!!!

So here cheers to a new & improved ME :-)

Here are some things to help me along this fun new journey!!!!

New Crib

Check out Blue-Wee's new crib :)

I thought the lil' Spongebob & Patrick was a perfect 'kid' touch to the tank so hence is why I picked it up when I bought him new fish food :)

My youngest Micah was ecstatic!!!!
I love seeing their faces light up to the simplest things :-)

Oh yeah, this fish is called a 'betta' & it's a tropical fish :) it's known as a fighting fish & cannot be in the same tank as other like his own kind bc they will fight! I kinda want to just get another betta so they can fight! Just for a little... Lol I know I'm weird....

Happy Tuesday my loves!!!

Meet the newest member of our Family....

We gained a new family member a couple weeks ago :-)

My Micah picked him out himself...

Meet our one & only BLUE-WEE

Yes he also named it himself. I suggested TRU BLUE but was quickly overruled by his owner! Lol I have no idea what kind of fish it is. I just know he picked this one :-)

Day 8

This is easy peazy :-) something that makes you laugh :-) I Love to laugh.. I think it's one of the best things for the soul! And the best part is it's FREE!!!!
Of course I couldn't just do 1 so I am adding quite a few....


Enjoy & I hope these make you smile like it does to me!

Xoxo
