Two Sunday’s ago was my book club’s last meeting for the book Eat Pray Love. A little while ago I wanted to create something with the women in my family to get together and spend quality time with one another, that’s when the book club was born. We took our time with this one and met once a month to discuss, fellowship, eat and enjoy each other’s company. It was a job well done and each and every one of us are looking forward to the next book. Someone mentioned, The Help. Heard it was good so maybe, just maybe. Elizabeth really and truly hit home with this one. I’m talking heart wide open, spread on the table for all to examine, poke, and prod. Many times when reading I felt as if I wrote these lines. I was like, yeah, that's how I felt, that's what I needed or didn't. It felt good to read someone else's story of trails, tribulations, joy, and freedom and be able to identify with them. Here was a women who went through a transformation that didn't alwa...

I've mentioned in a few of my posts how I love pining on Pinterest and building my many wish lists. A few of you darlings may or may not realize what I'm talking about. For those of you that do, great and happy pinning to you! For those of you who don't, let me explain *smiles. Pinterest is a virtual vision board. Unlike creating one vision board to hang up in your home/office, on Pinterest you can create many boards, virtually. As many boards as your heart desires that shares all of your wishes, desires, loves, and creativity. You can use Pinterest to express who you are and what you like, (even create a board of dislikes) and share it with everyone. Here is are some my boards: My Tummy Says, Yes! All those goodies make my mouth water especially the Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte that I pinned from Love Veggies and Yoga ! I love the board that I created for my Mr., Inside His Closet . I really like this suit for him by DB Movement and this gorgeous wood and dia...

I've spoken about him a few times before here and here . And now I want to share some more of his work with you. He's a talented, funny, amazing actor and yes, I'm bias and that's perfectly ok! I enjoy watching him perform and do what he does best, inspire, uplift, and encourage through his work. Keep up the great work Wayne!

One of my favorite things to do is take long, hot showers. It’s alone time at it’s best and adding one of my favorite scents to create an aromatherapy atmosphere only makes it better. Some of the scents I use are, Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, to name a few. But lately I have been indulging myself in a favorite that I absolutely enjoy, citrus. O ne of the wholefoods store that I go to sells their own natural bars of soap and I can go a little over board when I’m buying them. It’s to the point where Hubby asks, “you think you’ve got enough”, LOL. What can I say, I love what I love and enjoy what I enjoy and I aim to please, myself! Eventually though, I’m going to make my own. It’s a project the kids and I have been looking forward to doing. I have a few recipes just waiting for me to make the time to do it. I also buy my soaps from a company called, Melaleuca. They sell a bar of soap called, the gold bar, it is to die for. If you ever want to try something new, start with that...

Last week the kids created a craft project for the holiday that shared some of the things they are thankful for and one thing in particular stood out to me and their Dad. It was a very creative project that they came up with and wanted to give it a try. They all love crafting in some shape, form, or another and when they are ready to create I simply move out of the way, sit back and watch them go for it. I have to say, my kids are an inspiration to me and I am thankful for the blessings that they are. First, they gathered all of the items they would need. 1 ~ Construction Paper 2 ~ Glue 3 ~ Scissors 4 ~ Colored Pencils, Crayons, and Pens That’s it! Pretty simple, yes? I watched them pick the colored construction paper of their choice, gather the colored crayons/pencils they wanted to use and create masterpieces they were all proud of. They began by tracing their hands and cutting them out. Next, drawing a tree without branches and then cutting that out. Then, pasting the...

Hola Loves! I'm out and about shopping with my kids and it is crazy busy out here!! So many people are getting ready for the holiday and I wanted to wish those of you who are a happy holiday. For those of you who do not celebrate the holiday, have a blessed day as well!! Hugs And Sweet Kisses ;-)

Both my Husband and I love to read. In school we read many of the same kind of books and love talking about them with our kids.  We are so pleased that they also love reading and at times we have to ask them to put the book down and get their chores done, Ha!  They can get really serious with it too...i.e. taking a book to bed and when the lights are out they pull out a flash light or in the case of our older two, their cell phones usually do the trick.  I saw this picture and thought it would be a really neat idea to create something like this for them for all of their reading needs.  #decorativeinspirations  Pin It

Hi Loves, hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to say thank you for all the love that you’ve been giving me as of late. Thank you for the emails and one on one chats, I love to interact with people who read my blog. I’m sending that same love and light back to you with lot’s of hugs and sweet kisses ~ Down on my sidebar I share quotes from time to time and it’s titled, “quote of the week”. The one that I have up now has been up for more than one week in hopes you would take notice and did what it said. It’s by one of my favorite women who knows how to create bliss in her life and others, Mama Gena . The quote says, “ Write yourself A Love Letter”. What do you think about that? Sound crazy? For the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing just what it says and now I have a collection that I can go back through anytime I feel just to remind myself of how special I am to me . We take time to tell others how we love them. We take time to tell others how special they are to u...

One of my wishes in finding a Homeschool group for my family was one in which there would be opportunities for outings/field-trips. I'm currently a part of two Homeschooling groups and between the two there are plenty of opportunities and what makes it even better is that many of these outings are geared towards all of my kids different ages. Last week Wednesday we went to see the play, The Urban Nutcracker. It was a beautiful performance that was presented by the Ballethnic Dance Company of Atlanta. The performers did  a great job, the costumes were creatively done well, and everyone had a good time. The show sparked with excitement and thrill that kept you going and wanting more. It's not a long show which works wonders when you're with younger children who tend not to sit still in shows like this. My youngest wanted to leave the minute we got there, guess he just wasn't in the mood but when the show started he was all eyes and ears. He told me when it was done tha...

    Tuesday night I enjoyed the last few days of warmth here in the ATL. Mini skirt, sleeveless top in the middle of November. Gotta love being a Peach ;-)

I used to really enjoy going to strip clubs because I love the naked body. As you can see by all the beautiful, naked pictures of women on my sidebar, I have a thing for beauty in the naked booty. And I especially like to see them moving in a seductive, teasing way. Strokers is a strip club in Atlanta that I had always wanted to go to and haven't until tonight. I was excited because I anticipated seeing all the beauties, pretty smiles, and lovely bodies but instead what I got was tired and less than interested robots. Ladies just going through the motions all in the name of a buck except for the twins, they were good but overall, Strokers, I think not! Now, Shooters, I can get with, especially on a Saturday night. Diamond was the best! She worked that stage like it was made for her and then in the VIP room she was a beast! What do you like in a strip club? And, if not, what don't you like? Me and my boo been going to strip clubs for quite some time now and after all ...

Hi Beautiful People! Thanks for the comments on my last post and the honest, thoughtful responses.  This morning I woke up and checked my email, as usual, and came across an email from Johnathan Fields . If you've never heard of him before check out his website and his line of books filled with inspiration that will boost you to your highest!! Anyway, he posted a blog post just this morning titled, Why I Abandoned My Blog . It was right on time with my post and what I was talking about . When you have time check it out and be inspired if you are moved to do so.

Hope you Darlings had a great week and accomplished all you set out to accomplish and if you didn't there is always another week. I hope you got to take some time for yourself in whatever way your heart desired and I hope it was as pleasurable to you as you wanted it to be. You are beautiful and deserve your care. Right now I'm relaxing and sipping on some ginger tea before I put on my dancing shoes to party with Hubby and friends. It's been a long week and now its time to have some fun! I had a great time for my Birthday and loved receiving all the Yummy wishes. Thank you!! I still have pictures to post from the weekend so stay tuned. I wanted to share with you something a blogging friend of mine is doing because quite frankly, it rocks! Christie over at ChatterBox Christie is taking a whole month off from blogging. Yes, an entire month away and its not just from blogging either. She's also taking time away from all things online. What do ya'll think a...

Heavy D I remember bobbing my head and singing along to the over weight lovers in the house! Heavy D was one of the original rappers I grew up listening to who inspired me and many with his music. My Honey shared this story with me yesterday that was posted on rapper Jay-Z's site . It's a dedication to Heavy D and a really great read I think you would enjoy. Check it out when you can. Here is a video to one of my favorite Heavy D songs. It brings back so many sweet memories of back in the day. Do you guys remember, "Is It Good To You...OOOHHH I Like It!!  ~ Enjoy ~

There is a pair of opposites in all things, and in each there exists the spirit of the opposite: in man the quality of woman, in woman the spirit of man, in the sun the form of the moon, in the moon the light of the sun. The closer one approaches reality, the nearer one arrives at unity. Hazrat Inayat Khan

Monday we went on a field trip down to on Chattahoochee River with our Homeshcool group and learned how to fish! This was the kids very first time fishing and they had a ball. I was really impressed with their enthusiasm and level of interest. They learned how to cast a line, hook the bait, cast it out and sit and wait…and wait, and wait. Yeah, it’s a whole lotta waiting!! LOL!! I thought they were going to lose interest and say forget this but they were troopers and hung in their with a little help from me. They used me to hold their pole while they walked up and down the dock and took in the scenery. It was so beautiful out there! The weather was perfect with the exception of the heat waves we felt every now and then from the sun. Wearing a hat will surely help. They had a great time and are looking forward to doing it again soon. They didn’t catch any fish but that didn’t stop them from enjoying themselves. They were very grateful for the experience which their Daddy and I both ho...
