MAMA STUFF AND SELF CARE

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing sweet and lovely people. Thanks for checking out my blog today. I am happy to post a blog today and share a bit of life with you today. Hopefully, you are inspired as usual.

So, I enjoy having a fun time with my kids and it is amazing! It is very important for moms to enjoy their time with their kids, loving them and playing with them. This is a form of therapy and quite frankly, it is the BEST therapy there's. Love heals ALL things!

I spent part of the weekend baking brownies with my Zozo and of course we filmed it. It was very fun baking with my girl. 

Here's the video:

Zozo enjoyed herself and ate most of the brownies too LOL. Le'Veon got a good bite too.

We have also decided on what to bake next and it is exciting!

I also filmed a meditation video for you. Check it out here:

Meditation helps me so much and I hope you give it a try and see how your life begins to change for the better.

I hope you take the time to really enjoy life and be in the moment.

Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Joy!

PUTTING MY KIDS FIRST ALSO INVOLVES GETTING THE RIGHT FURNITURE PIECES

 

Good morning everyone. Thank you for checking out my blog today. I am very happy to see you here. Today, I wanted to share a story with you about how I got my new furniture and why. If you have kids you know that they are curious, messy and can be destructive. So, my last dining set had cloth lining on the chairs and it was always difficult to keep them clean. I couldn't even start explaining how tiring it got for me to always have to scrub the mess they leave after their meals. To be frank with you, I don't want to spend hours cleaning my dining set after only a few minutes of dinner, breakfast or lunch on it. I started researching a great option for a mama with kids. A few months prior, my living room set was replaced because the kids broke the couch and also soiled it with uncleanable food stains.

Well, I thought that getting a new set with leather seats would be perfect because all I'd have to do is get a damp cloth and wipe it off after each meal. 

One day, I came across a nice set while browsing  the internet. I saved the image of it and had it printed off at Walmart and placed it on my vision board. I went by American Signature Furniture to see if I could find the one I had on my vision board, to my surprise, I found what I was looking for. I made a downpayment on it and decided I would go back and pick it up. 

After about a couple of months, I was finally ready to go back and pick it up. It turned out the table I wanted initially was no longer available but I didn't get discouraged. I looked around for a replacement and found another tampered round glass table with wood base. It looked perfect. It turned out the chairs that came with this table were not available. I chose a couple of chairs from the previous table I had wanted and the two that they had that came with the new table. 

Day of pickup, I was told my stuff was not avialable but I asked what day they had advised to come by and pick up on my receipt, they confirmed it was that same day that I was there for pickup. It also turned out that the chairs they had available were the ones I had on my vision board. It was crazy to me that everything aligned and I got the very same chairs I wanted. These chairs are easy to clean and after each meal, I spend about 45 seconds cleaning, instead of the whole hour. 

Even my kids love the new set.

 

Now there's less mess for this happy mama to clean and she is not complaining at all.

Don't let anybody steal your joy!
