Enlighten Me

By
Wow, it's been a while since I have posted. We have been really busy and the moments we weren't busy, I was too exhausted to write. I hope you all are doing okay.

I can't believe I'll be 28 this year! What?! I am definitely excited about getting closer to 30. I believe 30 is an age of enlightenment for a woman. Everything seems to be so clear and defined. She knows herself, she is confident, sexy and not afraid to speak up. I feel a little bit of that now, but I look forward to that true awareness in 2 years. Now don't talk to me after age 30 because I don't know how I'm going to feel about that! LOL! Shoot, if we're gonna have another baby, we better start next year! I don't want to be 30 and pregnant (Not that it is a problem. It's just not my preference). The other day Desi was looking at a picture of a baby on his diaper box. He was talking to the baby. He very happily said, "Hold my hand baby." Then he said, "That's my baby mommy." I felt a little sadness tugging at my heart. In that moment, I saw flashes of Desi talking to stuffed animals and pictures on boxes throughout his childhood. He needs a brother or sister. After claiming that child on the box his own, Desi then says, "I want broder mommy." I was surprised he said that, so I had to ask him again for affirmation. Yes, that's exactly what my little 2-year-old said. What in the world does he know about that?! There was that tug at my heart again. But there is so much to consider. When I even say "baby," my poor husband gets as nervous as a cat in a room full of dogs! I don't know. I guess we shall see.

Well, let me get back to watching Curious George with baby boy. I love Fridays!!!

Night Night!

P.S. Please watch this cute little video!

Who Are You My Beloved?

By
After watching a series of Iyanla Fix My Life episodes I felt compelled to write a post about who I am as a woman. Have I truly explored that question? Who is Aisha? I have all these parts that make up the whole but what is the whole? Let's break it down by the parts first. A part of me is: 1. A wife 2. A mom 3. A daughter 4. A sister These positions in life add to who I am. Now WHO AM I at my core? Here is what I am discovering: I am a woman who has a great deal of love and respect for Jehovah God. This is the biggest part of who I am. How I move in life, whether it be spiritually,  physically,  emotionally or mentally, is wrapped up in my relationship with Jehovah. I am a woman who cares about the well being of others and is moved to help where necessary. I do not like to be overbearing and I am very sensitive to others feelings. I am observant and intuitive. At times I can be proactive and at other times I can be reactive and I am okay with that. I am a woman that lo...

Let's Play?

By
I think I have lost my ability to play. Many times I wonder where my imagination has gone. I admire those moms that can think of myriads of play activities. I can't think of a single one. So when I say to Desi, "Wanna play with mommy?" When he says "yes" (sometimes he will say "no mommy") I am thinking, "okay what should we do?" I get slight anxiety. LOL! We'll run around and play with cars, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I guess I can google activities to do with a 1 1/2 year old, but shouldn't this come naturally? I don't know why this is an issue to be honest. I feel pretty silly even writing about it but I am hoping I am not the only one in the motherhood feeling this way.  Case in point, Desi and I were playing at the park the other day. He goes to sit down in the mulch and he says to me, "sit mommy, sit." I sit with him and start wondering what should we do. So I pick up two sticks and we have a stick f...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...
