Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

So everyone always creates "New Years" resolutions, for 2011 I have none. Every day is a new day we need to make changes for everyday not just Jan 1^st of the next year. That's the only way to really change.

But I figured we have some tips on how to make 2011 a better year.

So here are my top 7 tips for living in 2011. Why 7? Well because 7 is the number of completion??

1.

Love yourself –Before you can let anyone in to love you, you have to love yourself.

2.

Forgive someone- Let the power of forgiveness take you away and set you free. Grudges are old news.

3.

Finish something- Procrastination is the poison to your destiny. Start something and finish it.

4.

Embrace yourself- There is only one Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj so there is only one of you. So be you it's easier!!

5.

Dance in the rain- Let the stress of life wash away (get your hair wet). Sometimes we have to let problems roll off our back.

6.

Say thank you- A simple act of kindness can change someones day, why not let it change yours.

7. 

Finally- Don't just exist but live. Do all the crazy insane things you want…don't worry about what people think..Just do it!!!

For The Love Of Another

For The Love Of Another

The story hits so close to home so I think where do I begin. I guess from the beginning.

So it all starts with someone very close to me who found out she was pregnant. Of course her reaction was scared and excitement to know that she was about to be a mom. We were all rooting for her, and of course planning the baby shower and talking about names.

But all our sunny days and bright colors of joy ended when she was 10 weeks, the doctor told her that the baby was developing with abnormalities. Then stating she wouldn't make it full term. She left the doctor's office heartbroken and crushed. But she had Faith that everything would work out for the best.

And with that Faith we came together and we prayed for God to work a Miracle. The Doctors wanted her to abort telling her the quality of life for her little girl wouldn't be good. She didn't want to, holding on to her faith-she continued on.

And at her 22 week mark, the fatal news came that they couldn't find a heart beat for the baby.

And with all the Faith that the mommy held dear she thought what better name for her little Angel then Faith. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. What a love to hold near. Now even though Faith is no longer with us, she is now the special Angel for her mom. A little guide to get her through life

I am not exactly sure what this mom is going through right now to carry a child and to bond with that child only to loose it.

But there are people out there that do understand what she is going through.

Here is the Plack that they sent her_in memory of her little girl Faith Moriah Harley....We love you baby girl!!

And thanks to forevrmyangel.com for showing love and support for these mothers in their time of need. I think it is really a great job that you are doing being able to touch someones heart. If you know someone that may have gone through this or something similar pass on the info. They are great people, very caring & encouraging.

Black & Hot Pink Baby Shower Oct.2010

Black & Hot Pink Baby Shower Oct.2010

Just like the baby boom of post war America and many other countries after the war- my family is experiencing a similar thing. It was one announcement after another for an already big family….let’s just say we could have our own little army.

Mommy-to-be

So planning my Aunts baby shower was fun and I guess practice for the baby showers to come. Always trying to be out of the box we were told “I do not want the regular all pink shower” “just because I am having a girl I don’t have to be drowned in Pink”. Of course I was in love with the idea, and my Aunt who was planning the shower got right to work.

As always something doesn’t go as planned but we know how to make the best of it all. And the outcome was wonderful, lots of gifts for the beautiful baby girl…Mom and Dad were both happy and we had a live crowd.

Yummy, and no the clothes Pins and Bobo arent edible lol



It took us awhile to get these things up, but hey we finally did it!! Yah us =D



I loved the favors which were little take out boxes with a sweet treat inside. Loved it!! =D



She looks beautiful even with a ton of tissue paper over her head lol.

They were defin good sports, I cant wait to make these hats again.
They defin were a challenge to make lol.





Me and Mommy-to-Be [sn- I hope I carry all baby too when its my turn =D]

Father vs. Dad

Father vs. Dad

So we all know how the saying goes; "Any man can be A father but it takes a real man to be a dad." I strongly stand by this quote.

There are a lot of men with a number of children, that they may or may not take care of. In the sense of being there for the important moments. The men that send a check every month feeling this is sufficient enough to take the place of their presence. Those Men are "sperm donors" as people would call them. They often time leaves this job of being a dad, either to the mother to play both the role of mom and dad. Or they leave it to another man to raise their child. In my eyes these men might as well have went to a sperm bank.

The sad thing about this is that it all becomes a cycle. Now the child without the "Dad" grows up without knowing how to be one. So either they learn the hard way or they don't learn at all. And they continue this cycle for the next generation to either follow or move forward from. Lets hope that it becomes the later we have enough deadbeat dads; to add a few more to society would be a crime all in it self.

Now that I have explained lets just say....." A sperm donor" is, let me explain what a dad is. By the way I am daddy's Lil girl ;D.

A dad is a man that cares for his family. Who loves his children and provides for them the best way he knows how. A dad is a man that is selfless and doesn't let his pride stand in the way of the love he has for his family.

A dad is a man that shows his son how to be the same type of man and better. He tells his little girls they are beautiful, so they wont have to look to another man to hear these words first. A dad is a man that makes sure is family is secure and feels his love everyday he breaths. A dad takes pride in the family he had the pleasure of creating.

I am glad to say not only have I had the pleasure of having a father but also a dad. A man that has shown me "yes I can do it all alone." And that I don't need a man to complete me but to compliment the women that I am.

To all the men out there that are taking care of their family and not letting another man step in to do the job. To all the men that are doing that other men's job. To the mothers that are playing both roles. We show you love on this day that is set aside for you. No, words cant express the gratitude we hold for the jobs that you do. But we sure hope that it gives you an idea of how we feel.

Have a safe and blessed Father's day =D!!!!
