About Love Drop Drop and little love and be a blessing to Diomi and Nallee . Fabulous Finds Friday at Lisa C Writes!

These Moments: It's Two AM and I'm curled up on the couch typing away while Hubby sleeps peacefully by my side. And me giving him secret kisses every now and then.  Taking the kids roller skating Monday night with Grandma, that was the fun part. Watching my baby girl fall and hurt herself, not the fun part. Running a bath for her filled with scented episome salt and seeing a smile on her face, priceless.  I'm not even close to being done unpacking boxes but I'm as organized as any Mom would want to be when their child asks them where can they find their favorite toy. Going to the movies Friday night and seeing Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol with Hubby. #moviesthatrock #can'twaittoseeitagain Enjoying my new front loader washer and dryer. Laundry mountain doesn't seem all that bad these days. The sugar rush we all got from eating holiday goodies Daddy got from customers who love him so. Dark and white covered strawberries. Chocolate covered pretzels. ...

Earlier this year I decided to return to one of the things that I loved to do before my life was filled with the pitter patter of little feet and wet kisses. Reading books was something I had always loved to do and did it often. Books became a way for me to expand my imagination and develop my sense of creativity. As a child a book was sometimes all I had to the exposure of life in someone else's shoes. I read fiction and non, auto-biography's and memoir, history, poetry, religion, romance, classics, philosophy, to name a few. I wrote short stories, poetry, and romance. I remember building relationships with kids in highschool just because they liked to read as well. I was shy in school and one of my favorite places to go was the school library.  I set my 2011 goal to originally read 5 then upped it to 7 and hit that goal earlier this month! So I'm raising the bar since I'll be starting in January not sometime in May like I did this year. My goal for 2012 wil...

Pour me a cup of Love! Fabulous Finds Friday

Are you guys all ready for the holiday? If yes, good for you. Hopefully you'll use these last few days to take it easy with smooth sailing on your side. You get extra points for being an early bird. If not, well, what are you waiting for?? Procrastination is a bitch, ain't it? LOL. All you can do now is hope for the best and that everything will turn out ok. Hopefully you'll decide to do things differently next year and have that shopping done. I know how unsettling it can be when you have to rush things through simply because you put off some very important things sometime back and those things have caught with you now. When this happens to me the whole time I'm rushing to put things together I'm usually not the nicest person to deal with. I'm also not the nicest person to myself. This is obviously not one of my preferable ways to deal with these situations, however it's one that comes easily for me, and asking why, I've learned, is futile. Making be...

 "Her words were as soft as a rose petal and as gentle as the breeze on a hot summer day" ~ Lisa C  Pin It

This morning I woke up early, got dressed, and headed to the cell phone repair store. My oldest son got to hang with me all by himself today and as usual, he enjoys that. I enjoy having the opportunity to spend individual time with my children as this is a rare occurrence having five of them to split my time up with. I was headed to the cell phone repair store because my phone wasn't holding a charge anymore. No matter what charger I tried it would not charge. I spent way too many days rigging charges and avoiding going because being without my phone is, well, like the end of the world. Drastic? Yeah. Dramafied? Yeah that too but I need my phone. I finally gave in and they told me it would take ONE to TWO hours, perfect! I could live with that. I left my phone with them around noon and returned around 4:15 and they were closed!!! Really? This was Saturday and guess what? They were closed all day Sunday!!! Talk about heated! I was done. I was so prepared to write a nice Yel...

Sometimes when things happen in ways that are not favorable, it's just a reminder that we are human ~ Lisa C I hit my toe when I got out of bed this morning. Not literally, but it hurt like hell just the same. My attachment to something going the way I wanted it to go was lying on the floor next to my bed and when I got up...bam! Damn!! I spent all day thinking about how I reacted and wish I could have retracted my reaction. The best that I could offer to myself is to accept it, feel it, allow it, learn from it, and move on. Tomorrow is a new day. 

And A Toast! My move is finally over and things went really well, I’m so happy about that. Sure, I have a little bruise here and there and yes, my body is aching…all over but I’m glad that part is over. Looking forward to making my first spa appointment very, very soon. My nails are in need of a mani as well. These things are to be expected but what was not to be expected is this beautiful weather Georgia has been having lately and how it has helped in our December move. So thankful for that! I’m also thankful for the help that I had through this move from a few of my lady friends, you know you who are. Even though your help has not been physical yet (*wink *wink), your emotional support has gotten me through. There is something special about being able to pick up the phone or email your girl and give her an earful about what’s going on with YOU and how she says just the words you needed to hear. Relationships like these take time to develop and it’s not always e...

Our beautiful new home!  For weeks we searched and searched and searched to find a home that would be a good fit for our family. We would have the space we desired to have, we would have the privacy D and I desired to have, and we would all fall completely in love with it. I'm so happy to share  with you guys that our search is finally over and we begin our moving process today!! Whoot!!! Whoot!!! Our kids are so excited and we are too! We took them to see it last night and they didn't want to leave, as we expected. But they are troopers and know that packing is in order first, then we move. I don't know about you but moving into a new is like having a baby. Yes, it may sound crazy but that's how it feels to me...#don'tjudgeme! It's brand new, exciting, and feels sooooo good!  We are moving over the course of this weekend and into the beginning of next week so I'm going to be extremely busy with packing, organizing, etc. The good thing about i...

December 1st was World AIDS Day and in an effort to help support the fight against AIDS many participated in events all across the globe. These events help to raise awareness and support for people living with HIV. Many of us personally know someone living with this illness and many of us knew someone who, sadly, has passed away. There are ways to get involved to show your support that will make a difference in someone’s life. Click on the link to see which campaign is right for you. Another way to join in and show your support is by creating your personal panel that will be included in the (2015) Quilt! “1000 babies are born with HIV every day. By 2015 that number can be near zero. (RED) and ONE’s (2015) QUILT is a digital patchwork of photos and images mad by people all over the world who have pledged to join the fight for an AIDS Free Generation by 2015.” source You can create your own panel here . It’s pretty easy, just follow the steps one at a time and that’s it! Let m...

You ever get so emotionally distraught you don’t know which way you’re going? You don’t know what to do or who you can turn to? This tip for creating lasting love involves your emotional wellbeing. How well have you been taking care of that aspect of who you are? This is a major area in relationships that if not attended to can greatly affect our sexual relations. We all have problems and issues that come up ever so often. We all come from dysfunctional families in some kind of way. We all experience hurt, disappointment, and (my all time favorite), growing pains. These are all things that we have to take responsibility for whatever emotional scars they may have caused. Rather than trying to resolve them (some are unresolvable), we should learn to see how they have impacted our lives. When we see these things with clarity, they tend to become more manageable and acceptable. Here are some suggestions for staying clear emotionally: Keep a journal – Writing...
