Date Night? Oh...Yes We Did!!

Image
D. and I got to go out on Saturday night. We haven't been on a date in like forever! We walked in to the nail salon (because I needed to get a quick wax) and the lady asked me if D. was my boyfriend? Ha! My boyfriend! D. looked at me and said "you haven't had one of those in a while huh? He's too funny. My response was "no, I haven't. Do you know of anyone in the market"? LOL...I love kidding around with him like that. Getting to take this break away from the kids and everyday life is part of what keeps our flame going. We get to be 'one' again. Meaning no space in between (which having five children can do, create a whole lot of space..lol) it was just us. Holding hands, gazing into each others eyes, kissing, and caressing one another. And of course wearing one of my minis helped ;) but just being out on a date with him was enough. It brings on those feelings like we just met for the first time. So so good! We had so much fun and I cant' ...

Lead Foot!

Image
Lead Foot, my husband has been calling me this for years! I'll admit it, I do drive a little faster than I should. I'm an excellent driver. I was taught by the best, my Dad! And having two older brother's who were both good drivers helped too. That's why in all of my years of driving I have never, ever, ever, ever....did I say ever? received a speeding ticket. So, why NOW???? I can't believe it!! Remember the other day when it was TT's birthday and I told you that we took her to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate? Well, we were running late and that's one thing I absolutely hate, is to be late. Seriously, I get all bent out of shape when it comes to this. I should have planned better the night before but I didn't. I had had a long day with the kids and I just wanted to get to bed! Our party was scheduled to start at twelve so we needed to arrive fifteen minutes earlier to get set up. This was going to be impossible since we didn't leave the house ...

Ohhh...I Feeeeel the Love!

Image
Do you believe in Karma ? I do! Lately there has been a lot of love flowing in, out and through my house. Yes, the Fam is doing fine, but I'm referring to my blog home. I've met some really beautiful people these past weeks and months. I sprinkled a little love and it has come back to me because apparently some of them feel the same. For instance let's take Erina Hart. When I came across her blog I read a post that I simply could relate to. It was a very long post, so you know what you have to do with those right? You either skim through it to get a feel, quickly exit, or get comfy dig in and read. So I chose the latter. Since then I've learned that she's in school pursuing her dream. She blogs, visits, comments and develops relationships, a true schmoozer . As of late she's had to put her priorities in order. First things first you know, but she'll still be around doing all she can. With in the last week Erina has awarded me with two awards, the Rockin...

Happy Birthday Day TT!!

Today is TT's Birthday!!! We celebrated it yesterday at Chuck E. Cheese's, a place the kids just love to go. They all had so much fun and didn't want it to end. TT turned three today, although you couldn't tell because she is so mature for her age. I think it has a lot to do with having older siblings that she can look up too and being a big sister herself, always making sure Joshy stays out of trouble. Sometimes she wants to be everyone's boss though, even Mommy's and Daddy's (sigh). You have to stay two steps ahead of her or you or she'll have you wrapped around her cute little finger with the prettiest smile on her face . :) Our day was simple and fun. You can't beat that at a three year olds birthday party! To see more pics of the party, stop by D's place !

Thursday's Thought of the Day..#10 - Nelson Mandela

Image
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Nelson Mandela This quote is taken from a book that I'm reading called " Choosing Truth, Living An Authentic Life ", by Harriette Cole.

73 Things A Man Should Know About Women!

Image
Will Men ever totally understand Women? What do you think? As I was stumbling tonight I came across this very interesting list. One could say that the things on this list is the God's given truth and other's could say blasphemy !! You be the judge. Are we that far apart in our worlds, Men.....Women? Here are a few that I thought were interesting enough to share with you. Read on and let me know what you think. An unsolicited kiss is to a woman as free playoff tickets are to a man. Women, much like men, are human, and thus appreciate it when you ask them questions about themselves. While the occasional quick love bite is, in context, welcome, that incessant animal-in-a-leg-trap gnawing: no. The small of the back, the nape of the neck, behind the knees. As a rule, women don't like heels. Getting back to kissing: more lip. Less tongue. On PMS: The fact that she knows hormones are causing her temporary crankiness doesn't make the feelings any less real, so cut her some sla...

Laying On the Couch, My Thoughts Got Away From Me...

As I threw myself on the couch today all I could do is think of you. The way you make me feel all fuzzy inside... the warmth that flows through my body... the way you make my temperature rise... and I smile. I'm thinking about having you. In my mouth... as I take you in, my tongue awakens and my mouth receives you. With the pillow up over my head, I drift away, thinking about you. Damn! How I wish I could have you! Right here, right now... You are my favorite...~ Apple Martini ~

I'm an Angel - A Victoria's Secret Angel!!

Image
Ok, so the other day I walked into Victoria's Secret and got bum rushed by employees. Lovely ones mind you, but I still felt attacked (in a friendly kindda way, I guess). Then that feeling slowly turned into me blushing and feeling like a celebrity...hmmm this could be nice. Shelly was her name, the one who won my attention. She was very friendly and truly made me feel like I was on the Red Carpet . Shelly told me all about the special sales, what's hot, what's new. That's when she mentioned the new " Angels ". "Hmmm, Angels?, I say. Tell me more". It's soft, smooth and moves with you. Comfortable, stylish and sexy. I'm thinking that's sounds good, but I'm nursing so is this a nursing gals bra? Yes, Bra! Shelly was describing the new Angels Bra Collection as if it were made of pure silk. She said it's definitely not a nursing gals bra but it's a bra for when you don't want to feel like "Mommy". It's for whe...
