What an Inspiration!

Hey everyone and thank you so much for joining me on my blog tonight! Today I have a special fire inside me.... I found the picture attached on the Internet and my focus today is these amazing children and their families who face the battle of cancer and are robbed of their youth and happiness. I would like everyone to take a moment and just say a prayer for those battling cancer! (thank you!!!)

I saw a commercial yesterday with Jennifer Aniston and two young girls who were battling cancer and they wished to get better and have hair and Jennifer Aniston kissed one of their foreheads and said St. Jude is working on it! Ugh, brought me to tears, to think how brave these kids are to face such a fate(survival or not) they are strong and brave and we should continue to support parents with ailing children!!!

Today I was playing with my son and as we stopped to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I was thinking I'd like to write another book. You see I have already written one I just haven't published it yet. This thought started to get my mind in an unbreakable brainstorm. So I decided that I was going to write a story for children.....with cancer!!!

I have a plan to really make a spark inside their hearts, I want them to believe in themselves without a doubt! I am trying to figure out a way to publish ASAP! I need to call for help on illustrations but right now I'm very pleased with my first draft. I don't even think I will need revisions. I literally wrote it in 30minutes! I will however need it edited because I am not so good with punctuation and grammar! LOL.

My experience with cancer stems from my Nanny's(grandmother) twin sister she died from cancer when I was about 12 and I helped take care of her during my 6th grade spring break in Pennsylvania. (God bless you Aunt Becky). There was also a more recent experience when my father Thomas had a horrible and scary battle with cancer just a couple of years ago, he was very ill and we were afraid the cancer would take yet another life, but thank God my dad is alive and well and he has won his fight with cancer! God bless you dad we love you!!

WELL IF YOU HAVE A STORY OF CANCER please feel free to email me or comment below, I'd love to hear your stories.....you all inspire me!! Lots of love!!!
AS ALWAYS Stay Blessed and Inspired.....xoxoxo

Getting the Swing of Things...

          Hey everyone!  Hope you are all doing well, thank you for catching up with me once again!  So basically, last blog post I informed you guys about the "organizer" spreadsheet I created.  It's meant to help keep myself up to date with all things house, kids, food, husband and myself related HAHA!  I also mentioned the two other resources I use for my chores list and Dinner planning.                   I must say I have been even more organized than I had even planned.  I was able to effortlessly have dinner ready when I wanted, the house stayed clean(for the most part considering I have a "make mess" programmed 2-year old), I was even able to add-in unplanned visits to the hospital for my grandma and my brother and aunt coming from out of town to stay at my parents as well.  I'd say for the first week this was a hit!           In all of our efforts as parents I feel that we sometimes skimp out on ourselves.  I cannot believe how much I just fluff

The first of many. . .

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog where I will write about anything and everything that I can. I believe that I can change the world one WORD at a time but I've gotta start somewhere. Please do not expect perfect grammar or punctuation all of the time lol I just enjoy writing in the moment and just know I'll try my best. Today was a long day. It started off at work where I just was so tired but I knew I had a lot to do so there was no slacking lol. Then after I got out I went straight to pick up my son from my sister in law who literally saved the day by filling in last minute for the sitter(my mother in law) who is very sick. Mothers really don't get enough credit ya know! So before I forget GO HUG YOUR MOM AND TELL HER YOU LOVE AND APPRECIATE HER!!! I say this because I truly live for my son and when I pick him up from the sitter he does NOT want me lol it breaks my heart but I know (or at least I tell myself) he just doesn't want the fun to end by leaving.  Anywa

Hello everyone, first lets take a moment to reflect on those who have recently passed away... May God bless your family and friends with peace, love and strength. Thank you so very much for joining me on my blog tonight. I just want to share a challenge... I have always loved to cook, mostly Italian and Puerto Rican food (considering those are my nationalities) but the last few years I have really tried to expand my kitchen. I've tried different foods with pretty great success! Nothing has been too scary for me to try and whip up, maybe not all have been the greatest but hey, always fun trying lol. I recently discovered the joys of baking, and let me just say there is NOTHING like made from scratch baked goods or foods. I have made the following items so far from scratch....  Biscotti, pie crust for pumpkin and apple pie, pizza dough, PASTA noodles(which are like ribbons of silk when made at home, soooooo very much better than store bought) coffee cake, banana nut muffins, rice pud
