It is only Thursday, but after battling this head cold and working out with Mike “the trainer” I felt the need to splurge a little. I went to Bath and Body Works earlier this week and purchased some products for my daughter and I. (Yes at 7, she has to have her bath products stocked regularly or she uses all of mine.) I purchased this Forever Red Sugar Body Scrub and it is the Bomb! After a long workout, yes I made it to Zumba today, I indulged in a long hot shower using Forever Red. It smells so sweet you don’t have to apply perfume afterwards. So if you are looking for a new scent to try, grab Forever Red. I think you will love it! What are some of your favorite bath products?

Stay Sweet and sassy

We had a busy day today, but every day around the Stew’s house is busy. My cold kept me in bed a little longer than usual. Thank God the hubby has been dropping the kids off to school. They love it because they get to ride in the new Escalade. I gathered up enough energy to jog down the street to meet up with Mike, “the trainer” and Mari. Today was a little tough. First, it was hard to breathe. Second, I had a splinter in my heel and last I was so SORE from Monday’s workout. I must admit, I felt very proud that I made it through the session.

After ripping and running, I managed to squeeze in a power nap before the Heat game. Yes, I am #teamHeat all day everyday. You can see from my pictures that I love the Miami Heat. Tonight’s playoff game (round 2, game 5) felt like game 7. The crowd was bananas. I think because the bulls played a little dirty and the refs were calling bad fouls, it made it more intense. So we are off to the Eastern Conference Finals baby!!! On that note, I am off to bed.

I had every intention of going to Zumba after dropping off the kids this morning, but my body said NO. Besides being extremely sore, I woke up with a bit of a head cold. I have sneezed fifty times and used a box of kleenex. The sad part is my kids aren’t sick. Maybe the oldest one has it, but I can’t figure out who, what, where, or when I caught it. So tomorrow is session number 2 with Mike, wish me luck! Peace, Love and an Ice Pack!

Some people may find this day a little difficult. Especially those that have lost their mother or never knew their mother. It is a very emotional day. Flowers, cards, balloons, candy, spa days…..but most importantly memories. My senior year of high school, the day of my prom, Mother’s day weekend 1996, we lost our grandmother. I remember how hard it was but how my Mom kept things together so I would enjoy my prom. My Grandma Greene was special. She loved and cared for her five kids and grandkids the best she could. On this Mother’s Day I say thank you Grandma for laying the foundation for us and always letting us know how proud you were of us. To my Mom who is the strongest, most beautiful, caring women I know, thank you for all you have sacrificed for us. You are truly a blessing from God!

Happy Mother’s Day

Where do I begin??? I am still full of joy this morning after an AMAZING first SM night out. When ever you have a vision of something, you never know exactly how it will unfold but this was PERFECT. The location, food, and over 20 fabulous ladies came out for a special night. Monique from Positive Light Media gave a very inspirational presentation on the 9 steps to Positive Living. We were moved and felt a connection. We are all a part of a bigger movement and our bond after last night is beautiful. Women from all walks of life, nationalities, some with kids, some without, some married, some single but at the end of the night we were all Sporty Mommas. I am so excited about the future. The best is yet to come!!!!

Love, Peace and Positive Light!!!!!!

Today was the 11th Annual Honey Shine Hats Off Luncheon at the beautiful Jungle Island. This is my fourth year working on the membership/fundraising committee. The ladies in this organization are amazing but the Honey Bugs are the real reason why I continue to support the organization. First, was the fabulous silent auction. Items ranged from spa parties, wine tastings, luxury handbags to exotic trips. I placed bids on five items but only took home one. (Purple Steve Madden purse) Lunch was served buffet style. Next, the Honey Bugs (girls) ages 8-18 worked the runway with dance routines, poetry, testimonials and the latest fashions from the Gap and Bloomingdales. It was a beautiful day and a great event to be a part of. I can’t wait until next year!!!

Peace, Love, Shine On

I hope everyone had a great Cinco de Mayo. Our family spent the afternoon playing Miniature Golf with our Jack and Jill family. The kids had a ball. Ok, I had a great time too. I can’t remember the last time I played put put golf. From Anabel’s 7th birthday party on Friday to date night (saw Iron Man 3: 4 stars) to golf, I think we had a pretty amazing weekend.

This week is going to be super busy and FABULOUS! Tuesday is Honey Shine’s Hats Off Luncheon and Thursday is Sporty Momma’s Night Out! I gotta get my outfits and hair ready lol.

Love and blessings!
