Live, Laugh, Pray, Love Mommy

I just discovered something about myself. I am not as confident in myself as I thought I was. I went to dinner with my cousin and a few other family members the other night. We were discussing each other's personality. My beautiful and very talented cousin mentioned that I am one that second guesses myself. She then gives an example. She asked me to set up the gift baskets for her product line (Endless Touch). I take on the task and proceed to ask her how she would like it set up. Although it is nice that I asked, but she was extremely busy. I should have just taken the initiative and dressed those baskets up with confidence. She is 100% right and hearing her say it out loud confirmed my suspicions about myself. It was all clear. When she asked me to set those baskets up, I had an idea of how I would have liked it to look, but I didn't believe that idea would be received well, so I asked for her vision instead. This is just an example on a smaller scale. Not only do I do this

I am all over the place this week. My emotions are running wild and my eating is out of control! No I'm not preggers, I'm just trying to put up with a visitor (ya'll know what I'm talking about). I wish I could take a vaca with myself during these times because I hate being around people. I can be mean. The men of my house experience my wrath more than anyone else. My poor Desi was so mad with me today because I was so impatient with him. He said, "tell my daddy on You! I told him to go on and tell his daddy. He just seems to pull on that nerve a little more around this time. Not only do I have to deal with a visitor today, I have to deal with allergies! My eyes are swollen, I can't breathe and I feel like if I sneeze one more time I'm gonna scream. With all of that being said, my poor baby didn't really have fun with mommy today. We fussed at each other all night. I felt like I wanted to cry because all I wanted was a little break and I couldn't

As you all know, my son is 2. I will be 28 this year and my womb is feeling pretty empty. I keep going back and forth with having another baby, but I think what happened today made up my mind. Desi and I were playing at the park today. It was gorgeous outside--"sunny day," as Desi would say. So anyway, we climbed mountains, we went fishing, we threw bouncy balls around and we had a race. Desi soon got tired of all that and he just wanted to swing. We went all the way to outer space(the swing was his spaceship)!!! Once we landed, he ran around a little as I sat and watched him. Okay, all of that was cool. I was minding my business a little while Desi played. I happened to look up and noticed that Desi was pushing his little plastic car in the swing! Just pushing away as if it were a little child just like him. I literally just shook my head and said to myself, "Yeah, he needs a brother or sister." That so confirmed it for me. My poor baby needs somebody that will a

So I had a moment yesterday afternoon in the car. I recorded it on video. Take a look at it below: I mentioned that I would "name drop" in the video, but I forgot to give out my cousin's name! Alicia Holliday of Endless Touch is doing her thang!! Endless Touch is a beautiful line of natural and organic gifts for your body. She puts together a wonderful combination of ingredients that leave your skin soft and supple. You have your oils (body and hair), body butters (also a line for pregnant mommies), lip balm, body scrubs and many more. I use these products myself (I mean, why wouldn't I) and I am so in love with them. Oh man! I almost forgot! She has a line of products for our children called "Lil' Touch." I rub Desi down with the oil and the whole house fills with a sweet smelling aroma.  Like I stated in my video, my cousin makes ALL of these products in her own kitchen! I am so very proud of her and all that she is accomplishing. Please t
