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

Love....happiness......or both?

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me tonight! I have questions on my mind and I'd love to get some feedback....  Life can be pretty tricky there are many choices we have to make and we pray the ones we make are the right ones... Am I right?  Well tonight I find myself in a battle of the minds.... During the holiday season we come to realize the importance of family and friends and even life itself, yet there are times you can still find there are people who cannot shake the woes if their own daily grind to be in the "Holiday Spirit".  Do we get mad at them? I mean how dare they try to bring us down...right? Do we ignore them and let them be miserable all by themselves? Well I don't know but I'd love to hear what you think!  I think in a situation like this I am going to have to take a moment and breathe deep and try to understand why people can be so down. Patience is key here!  Ill have to put all personal feeling aside and just find out why they're

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
