Week 1

Today in the end of my first week as a stay-at-home-mom! This week was full of ups and downs! Some of the ups were playing with my girls, starting a new session in our playgroup and seeing old friends, plus all of the hugs, kisses and smiles I got to witness throughout the week! As for some of the downs; Mikayla bit a hole through her lip at the playground on day 1. Malia had a diaper explosion all down the hallway on day 2. Mikayla had a total meltdown at the laundry mat on day 3. Malia was rough housing with one of the girls at the playgroup yesterday ( I think the girl's mom was annoyed). Plus, I ran myself into the ground yesterday and had to call daddy in for a Tag-team moment. He was awesome last night! He gave them dinner, bathed them and tired them out/ watched them while I got to rest and make a phone call! Go Daddy!


I know this time with the girls is so precious! They will only be this little once! One thing I've heard all parents say is how quickly kids grow up. Even though there are tough moments and challenging tasks ( like getting Mikayla to stop stealing Malia's pacifiers), I feel very grateful to my husband that I get to spend this time at home with them! OK, now that the sweet, lovey stuff is all said, here's the reality; what have I gotten myself into? 


I hope you will join me on this adventure called motherhood as I, hopefully, find my voice and a clear path to our happily ever after! See you next week...

February 2012

Ok, the purpose of this blog was for me to start writing. I used to write stories and such and I always enjoyed the process. It has been more years than I would like to count since I have done any of it. As you can see, I have only 2 entries. Being a new full time stay at home mommy, preparing for baby #3 whom is due at any moment and trying to find time to write has been a huge challenge. I have decided that I really need to make the time to sit down and begin... Let's begin with this week. The weather has been unseasonably warm this week. We have had more outings than normal. We have our regular playgroup session every Thursday. Mark came with me this Wednesday for my weekly Doc visit which was a nice change. They went to the playground at least twice this week! We played out on the front porch, and a few trips to the corner & grocery stores. Phew! Lots of walking for a very prego mommy but good times! I did have a few days of very intense lower back pain. I thought ...

Vacation

Is it a rule of the universe that when you travel with your kids they must always get sick? We just returned from visiting my mom in Florida for just over a week and this trip was actually different! Instead of one kid getting a little cold, two kids got a virus that landed one in the ER and one at an urgent care clinic! To make matters even worse, my tooth chipped and I had to go to a dentist the morning of our return flight! Talk about a whirlwind! Now were are back home and I have the pleasure of schedulling all of our follow up care. Love it!

Momma needs some hair help

I had wanted to go natural for quite some time but never knew what or how to do it. So, I didn't. Than I had daughters. 3 in fact, and since I'm the mommy, I'm in charge of their hair. I did my best braiding but it was nothing adventurous. So, after staying home with them for just over a year and NOT having my own money, I stopped perming my hair. Then I found a 'natural' salon and I did the 'big chop'! My husband calls me an african now and my girls loved it, at first. Now, it seems I'm at even more of a loss of what to do. I wash and condition it when I can and I wear it in a, mostly, unkempt afro! Then I found this amazing woman on YouTube and she's teaching me how to deal with my girls' hair. I have tried a few cute styles and thank's to her chanel, washing and detangeling their heads has been SOOOO much easier!  One day I'll have time to try her techniques on my own head. Check her out here. This is what MAK would LOVE for me to do...
