Filed under: Mom Life · February 4, 2020

For some reason I am always struggling to find the perfect Valentines gift for my hubby. I guess because he already has everything. I overheard a few ladies talking last week about how they already found gifts for their sweethearts and I was like man I am way behind. Yesterday I spent some time browsing a few of my favorite sites looking for the perfect Valentines gift that says I love you and I am thinking of you. Here is what I found.

Hope these give you a few ideas to work with. Happy Shopping!

Love is in the Air: Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Filed under: Mom Life · February 1, 2021

Happy February y’all! I like to call February the month of love. We can all use a little extra LOVE these days. The pandemic still has everyone on edge with it’s uncertainty. Most of us haven’t spent quality time with our extended family and friends in almost a year. Well Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it’s the perfect time to show some love to the special people in your life, so getting them a gift will be great and checking options from a sex shop could be great as something to share with your couple . Check out my Valentine’s Day gift guide below. Here are a few things that I recommend no matter if your loved ones are near or far. From fresh flowers to fuzzy slippers I have found something for everyone.

Gifts For Him

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

Gifts for the Kids

Kids are pretty easy to please on Valentine’s Day. Most of the time my kids just want candy or an iTunes card. Since we are still heavy in this pandemic we will be ordering dinner from our favorite restaurant and watching a kid friendly movie like Safety. Here are some other ideas.

What’s Your Love language?

Gifts may or may not be everyone’s love language but you can never go wrong with a handwritten card. I absolutely love a handwritten note. It means that they really took the time out to make something just for YOU. Wishing you all a beautiful LOVE month!!!

Are we Making the Right decisions?

Filed under: Mom Life · February 21, 2018

My morning started out like it usually does. One of my kids is always up before the others so the alarms start to ring. I think we have like four morning alarm clocks that go off between 6:45 and 7:15. I made sure that I actually got out of bed instead of hitting the snooze button so I could take out my daughter’s twists for school. The hubby and I did our normal tag team routine. He makes their breakfast and starts their lunch while I dress the younger kids and pack their bags. It is a little hectic but we always get it done.

On the way to school we listen to music or talk about whatever my son wants to chat about. Most of the time it is the Miami Heat but today he wanted to talk about Black Panther. The kids enjoyed the movie last night but had a lot of questions. Before I knew it we are in the drop off line and I am tossing their bags out of the car because we are running few minutes late. I tell them I love you and have a great day. They say I love you too and hurry off to class.

Then it hit me like a ton a bricks. Can you imagine those moms that lost their kids last week? They probably did the same thing I just did. Last Wednesday I spent the hours running around buying gifts and making sure the table was set full of treats, balloons and gifts so they would feel extra special on Valentine’s Day. I went to like three different stores trying to find something for everyone. I don’t know why I just wanted to make everyone happy that day.

I scheduled a lab appointment on Valentine’s Day for my son because it was the next available appointment and I thought we would be in and out. Who wants to get their blood drawn on V-Day? As I was sitting in the lab holding my son’s hand at 2:20 p.m. the male nurse turned and asked me if I was okay. I guess my facial expression said it all. I told him yes that I was just trying to get use to this. But I felt something down in my soul. Fatigue, uncertainty maybe it was even fear. Little did I know that just a few miles away kids were literally running for their lives. There were some moms, dads, husbands and wives just like us who planned the perfect Valentine’s Day to only come home without their loved ones.

I have spent the past few days like most moms sad, angry and questioning our every move? Do we send our kids to school? Is it safe to go to church? Is it safe to go to the movies? Do I need to get trained and licensed to bear arms? How did this happen? Why? How can we fix this?

The truth is our world is in a very bad place. There are so many hurt people that want to hurt others to numb their pain. But that only creates more hurt and pain. What the world needs, especially our children, is more LOVE. If your child shows some signs of mental illness, don’t be embarrassed, get them help. Don’t ignore the signs. It is the best thing we can do for our kids. Love. If your child or any other family member is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, you may help them seek treatment for a mental health guide. The luxury drug rehab center at Carrara in Los Angeles offers unparalleled care. Their programs combine advanced therapies with a serene, high-end setting.

For those seeking a detox in Los Angeles, Method Treatment offers a top-tier program that combines luxury with clinical excellence. Their personalized approach ensures a safe and effective detox experience.

A Mother’s Love

Filed under: Uncategorized · November 20, 2013

Yesterday I sat in the waiting room at my son’s therapy appointment and I observed the other moms that were waiting. One mom sat with her toddler and tried to keep her entertained by playing dominoes. A few moments later, another mom walked in with her two sons. Both boys had autism and I was overwhelmed with questions,emotion and concern. This mom was so patient and calm with her boys. One son entered therapy as the other waited with the rest of us. Her tone stayed the same in spite of his actions. I even overheard her conversation with his school where he had an incident earlier with his teacher. I watched him draw and was amazed at his artwork. Pure brilliance for a 10 year old.It is amazing how God works. He gives us all gifts and it is up to us to use them.

As a mom of three I know how tiring, worrisome, and anxious it can get at times when your kids get out of hand or ill. I thought to myself, how does she do it? Then it hit me. Mothers do it all the time. We love our kids with all we have. We try to give them the best that we can give them. We hope and pray we are all that they need us to be. Each one of us have our daily challenges but we also have a common bond and that is loving our children. Enjoy each and every day with your loved ones.

Be YOU, Be GREAT
