What's Up? What's Happening?


Dear Moms, 

 Well, school is down to the last two weeks for us... Time to get the bubbles, bats and balls, and water balloons on deck in my house! Well, maybe not the water balloons yet- it's still only an average of like 55 degrees daily right now! LOL
Moms in NW Indiana sit at BASEBALL games like this!

 I just had my 34th birthday two days ago, and I am ready to set this new year of my life on FIRE!This birthday was an eye opener on all the things I had let fall to the wayside in my life. ME! Being a mom can be rewarding, fulfilling, and even fun! But, let's face it: being a mom can also be draining. Financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of who WE are, and were as we fill our days with lunch packing, carpools and homework.
Look Familiar to you?


 We as moms have to find out who we are, and who we want to be, because at some point, the kids will be adults and on their own and so will we. 

 So, how does one figure out their path? Well, I'm no expert- I JUST had the revelation that I was and have been missing for over 12 years! I am beginning to take more time for me and what it is that I enjoy doing. It's hard sometimes for me to separate the things I "enjoy" doing versus the things I do to generate income that I enjoy doing because it offers me the flexibility I require to still be mom.

 I have established that I have to take more time to understand that Mom, has to have some "Mom Time" that does not involve any kids, career, and household concerns. This is going to be a challenge that I am going to embrace, but I am willing to give it a try. 

 What are your dreams? What would YOU like to do with your time? What are you willing to chase, and embrace for you? Leave me a comment and let me know. We can work on finding ourselves together! Parenting is a journey- many of us feel alone on the road and we don't have to! We have EACH OTHER!
Until Next Time.

Dear Moms,  OMIGERD!! I have been swamped! Let me fill ya in: I am STILL in school full time, for my Graphic Arts Associates Degree.  I am getting the kids ready for a brand spanking new school year in an entirely new city AND state. I am getting my company: Essential Bath Elements off of the ground. I am working with the susband (soon to be husband) on both the ministry AND the cleaning company.  Oh- and did I forget to mention that I am MOVING?? AGAIN?!? Yeah, moving- once again. We have been in this house for a little under six months...but, the landlord was doing fraudulent things by renting it out during a foreclosure. Long story short, Fannie Mae purchased our home and then asked if we would like to continue renting, OR they offered us, "relocation assistance" to move. $$$$$ Cha-CHING! I was ready to pack while we were still on the phone with the broker! 👀 Am I alone?! Hands? Needless to say, I am scouting places for boxes and taking art...

Migraine and Anemia Rantings  Dear Moms, I recently had to face the truth about the seriousness of living with anemia. I have had anemia my entire life and never knew the true depths of how ugly it can get. I have discovered in my research, that living with anemia is wrought with hidden pitfalls that deplete the body's natural iron levels. Seemingly, every other thing one puts in their mouths on a daily basis is a culprit; robbing the body of iron. Soda, cow's milk, tannins in tea and coffee, and omeprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec an OTC heartburn medication) all deplete your iron levels. So, having an already depleted blood iron content (being anemic) and enjoying the ingestion of the abovementioned items... ¡No es bueno! Anemia is linked to restless leg syndrome and also known to be a cause of Anxiety and Depression. It causes insomnia, and even migraines! And all this time my mother just said I was "special" lol I was obviously being driven mad by ...
