A purse and diaper bag kind of day

I realize I’ve been, once again, thoroughly inconsistent with my writing/posting so I’m trying something new. I’ve decided that Thursday evenings will be my writing day. Yes, I should be reading, studying, washing our daughters dishes, getting her food ready for tomorrow, and countless other things, yet I also should be writing because I love it… Continue reading A purse and diaper bag kind of day

Happiness is…

…Singing my daughter her bedtime song as she rests her head on my left shoulder, then suddenly she lifts herself up just inches from my face and begins to softly “brush” my hair and then tenderly place her hands on my cheeks, then going back to leaning her head on my shoulder. Thank you Lord… Continue reading Happiness is…

Precious Time

This little phrase couldn’t come at a more appropriate time. I found out last night that my dad’s sister passed away on Sunday. We had been estranged from my dad’s side of the family for many years because of family problems that are too complicated and too much detail to go into just now, so… Continue reading Precious Time

Every Morning is Christmas Morning!

Sweets has encouraged me to Journal/ record my thoughts and feelings at this early stage in our union so that in later years if I ever need to, I can look back and remember what we are doing this all for and how it all started. I have been…

Last Day

I feel like I’ve left you abandoned for some time now! Well, the month of July just flew by for me and yesterday, August 2, 2013, was my last day at Sanie Mfg, my home away from home where I dedicated 15 years and 8 months. I got a bit choked up as I said goodbye… Continue reading Last Day

Change and new beginnings

The last week has been a whirlwind of emotions. Much to my surprise (and total happiness) I was offered a job at my intern place, WHW!! I honestly never expected this to happen, and especially not so soon, and I need to say it before I even continue, God truly has a way of placing… Continue reading Change and new beginnings

The gift of giving

I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks since I mentioned that I had found the place to do my summer intern for school! If you’d like a refresher on what Women Helping Women/Men2Work does, or for those of you stopping by for the first time, you can click here and find my previous post which details all about… Continue reading The gift of giving

Is this a taboo parent thought?

I’ve never shared this thought with anyone and in fact just today finally had the courage to voice it out loud to my husband, which gave me the confidence to share it on here… I feel though like I should first disclose that I absolutely LOVE and feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to be… Continue reading Is this a taboo parent thought?

The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

I am officially a mom, I’m driving around in a Mini Van. Correction, I am actually driving around in my brother’s Mini Van. This past Sunday we celebrated my niece’s birthday party, her first step into double digits. They live in Anaheim (we live in Santa Ana) so the plan was to meet up at… Continue reading The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

What’s in a dream?

I’ve had such a terrible tummy ache since yesterday evening. My husband made us a really good dinner so I don’t know if it was triggered by something I ate or if it’s my nerves. I figured out a few years ago that when I’m really anxious/nervous/stressed or something has upset me tremendously it goes… Continue reading What’s in a dream?
