We just went to one of my favorite places to eat. Sweet Tomatos-Love it! Healthy, healthy, healthy. The food is so good. Even the kidsenjoy it. They offer a variety of raw vegetables, pastas, soups, whole wheat pizza, muffins (very good), fruits, and deserts. When the kids are older I'd like to be able to spend more time in the kitchen cooking healthy foods. Over the past 6 years we've been moving to more of a healthier diet. We've stopped eating red meat. We only eat fish and chicken (organic). We've also stopped eating all shell fish. Now that was hard for me because I used to eat shrimp like it was going out of style. Fried shrimp, sauteed shrimp, grilled shrimp, shrimp cocktail you name it I would eat it. It's been a year now since I've eaten any shrimp and I don't miss it. Basically we've stopped eating all seafood except cetain fish. It was actually easier to stop than I thought it would have been. D.'s aunt has a flowing organic garden that...

I'm turning in early tonight, I need the rest. Can't wait to come back! Lisa

I had a long day today. It started off with me running around this morning getting everyone ready to get out the door. Tanisha had to be at the seminar for 11:30, I don't like being late. I did my best to get there on time. The good thing about it was on our way there I took a deep breathe and reminded myself that if I don't get there in time it's not the end of the world. Guess what??? I called my mother-in-law and she said they got started almost on hour late so we weren't late afterall. So you know what I did right? I patted myself on the back for not allowing it to get the best of me. Good Job L! Tanisha told me she enjoyed herself today. She said being able to help her grandmother and getting to do something for someone else made her feel good about herself. You best believe I'll be looking for similar opportunities for her in the future. I'm also in the process of finalizing everything for a party that I'm having on the 2nd of Feb. I'm so excited...

These past few months have been enjoyable for me. I've recently reunited with my family. I talk to my Mom & Dad on a regular. We hadn't spoken in years. It's been good being able to pick up the phone and just say hi. Victoria is hanging out late tonight. She's on my lap right now. Twisting and turning, touching things she shouldn't be touching. She just grab my pen and pad and calls herself writing. It starts at a young age you know. I think she'll be great at it. She's so brave.I know she can't wait to get on the laptop and do what I'm doing. The pitter patter of the keys are so intriging to her. I wish she'd just fall asleep already. Sleepy head! D. is reading an article on Jay-Z and Camron. D. feels that Camron is just trying to sell a record he has coming out. "His whole idea about coming after J is stupid". He hasn't read J's angle on it as yet. Can't wait to hear his opinion on that. He's so attractive wh...

Purple is my favorite color. Dancing helps me to burn. Listening to music feels so gooood. Posing for the camera, good. Laughing, I just love. Helping is something I just do. Caring is what comes naturally. My being is a work in progress and will forever be. These are just somethings about me. Today was good. Some things we had working are coming together nicely. The days are pretty full between teaching and running our businesses. We amaze ourselves at how well we manage it all. Tomorrow is going to be another full day. Tanisha will be volunteering her time helping her Grandma at her booth, pass out fliers and some other material regarding her book. I think It'll be a great experience for her. She's looking forward to it. I know she's ready now for that kind of exposure. Grandma wrote her first book!!!! Yeah!!! "Hidden In Plain Sight". What a book. I'm so proud and happy for her. She's always had it in her and now it's here. You Go Girl!! The goal...

W hat a day! I'm glad I talked myself into moving along with this blog thing. I love writing, in my journal that is. Never thought about putting my thoughts on an online journal, but here I am. So far so good. School was good today. We worked on alot of Spanish. The kids always like spanish class. This is our 7th year homeschooling our kids. What a journey it's been. Some days I don't see how we do it. Juggling?4 children. Making sure everyone gets what they need.??We manage. At the end of the day they are happy and we are happy to be alone again. It's after 10pm and I'm waiting for D. to finish putting the last one down. Our baby, Victoria. She's a year old. Can't wait! We've planned on watching the movie "The Diary of An Mad Black Women". I hear it was good. We'll see. I'll make sure to leave a review about it. This is truly cuddle time. Something we try to get at least once a day. It's nice working from home together. Lots of...

Sometimes you just got to learn the hard way. That's what my husband said when I lost my second blog. I'm new to this whole blog thing. I started writing my first blog just a few minutes ago and lost it. I started on my second and lost it. So this time I'm going to be real careful about what I'm doing here. A little practice will go a long way for me!~? Not sure if? I'll be back tomorrow. But I might. Uh oh...there's the baby crying ..gotta go~

Passionately living my Life and sharing it through my blog and online social interactions. And let's not forget those precious moments I share in real life with you. I am a Mother of 5 beautiful souls whom I unschool , and have been doing so for the past 16 years. Some of our days are spent meditating under a tree, dancing, singing, exploring whatever our curiosity leads us to. I call them the Fab Five. They all play musical instruments from the drums, to the piano, to the electric guitar and my youngest, the tambourine. There is not a day that goes by that I, "the teacher", does not learn something from them. I'm honored to be in their lives, honored they chose me.  15 years ago I said yes, as I walked down the isle to join my Husband who I've known since we were 7. Back then our union meant something very different than it does today - our journey has taught me so much. He's taught me so much. Each day is a new experience for us as we grow in ou...
