For those of you who know me, know that I had a child as a teenager. I do not regret it because I have a wonderful 11 year old that gets on my last nerve. :) I love her dearly though. Anyways, again she is only 11 and she is already interested in boys and so was I when I was that age. I'm not sure if I can keep her from being curious. Now that I am a parent things seem so different. I know why my mother and father tried to keep me from a lot of things as a child, but I never knew until now. There are a lot of things that I am contemplating and it sucks. I just pray that she makes the right choices. I know her dad and I will do what we can to instill good morals into her head. She is a great basketball player and wants to be a singer, gosh I hope she will focus more on that. AVOID the BOYS! At least for now. Parents you are welcomed to give me some pointers.
Be blessed.

To wash or not to wash...
Imagine...that your sink is overloaded with dirty, greasy dishes. You're scrubbing and scrubbing and rinsing and rinsing. The task seems to last forever. FINALLY!! The last cup is being rinsed. After you drain the sink, wipe it out, and dry your hands you notice that you missed a spoon. *sigh* it seems as though washing that one little spoon is just too painful. Water and soap and paper towels should not be wasted on washing just ONE spoon. Do you wash the spoon or not? And why or why not? Just a thought I had while washing my own dishes tonight. :)
Be blessed.
Be blessed.

Daddy's Little Girl...enough said
First of all I want to say Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope that you were fortunate enough to spend time with your loved ones today. I know that days like this can be extremely difficult for some people and that is understandable. I know God is there for you today and always, no matter what. If you do nothing else, at least give thanks the man above for breathing air into our lungs and giving us life.
Today has been a rushed day for my sister and I. First, we wanted to surprise my husband with his Father's Day gift, so we insisted that he go take a shower. His new commercial grill was on its way to be delivered at our home and we did not want him to hear it coming. Long story short, he did not hear the delivery truck and we surprised him with his new grill! Well, than my parents come over and we have a cook out for my dad for fathers day and for his birthday. As we are sitting there eating together, my sister decides that she wants to tell a "funny" story about me making my husband get in the shower and how I told him to get naked! OMG!!! I was so embarrassed and I almost choked on a piece of steak. My mom was laughing and told my husband that he must have thought we were crazy. I looked over at my dad and he had a blank expression on his face. It was one awkward moment for me. I could have just knocked my sister out! Oh, and we were speaking in Spanish, so my husband had no idea what the conversation was about and I was not going to translate it back to him in front of my dad.
There are a number of things that I do NOT do in the presence of my dad. One of those things is showing any public display of affection towards my husband and I DON'T tell him about any intimate details of my marriage. Thank goodness my dad changed the subject; he asked my mom if she wanted a hot pepper! HAHA
Many of you may not understand why I was embarrassed, but the truth of the matter is, in my dad's eyes I am still a ten year old girl that he knew a long time ago that did not like to brush her hair or shower. Now, I am a mother and a wife. It is very difficult for a father to watch their child grow up into an adult, especially their daughters. I can do nothing wrong and if I do, my father wishes not to see it. I'm still daddy's little girl and I like that.
Thank goodness my husband understands and I'm sure many of you do too.
Finally, we sang happy birthday to my dad, ate cake and I went on my way to work.
I just wanted to share a little story. All's well that ends well.
Happy Father's Day again!

Waking up is hard to do on a Saturday morning. Thanking God for allowing me to see another day is a big motivator.
Thank you Lord!
Kids are still asleep, my baby girl is lying there like a little angel. I guess it's time to get my morning chores out if the way and then off to work.
Today is my dad and brother's birthday. How in the world can you plan for that one? Haha :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thank your Lord above for everything and everyone.
Be blessed!

Nursing your little one
Having a bond with your child is very important. Why not start early by nursing, and you'll also be saving money by not buying formula. Use the money you save and put it towards their future, who knows. Anyways, breast feeding is a wonderful experience and nothing compares to it. Sure the first few weeks are rough on your nipples, after one month the soreness goes away. Imagine the look of your baby after he or she is done eating. When they are full, they lie their head back and let out a small, tender sigh and drift oft to sleep. It's a wonderful feeling!
I did not nurse my first two kids, basically because I was really young and I thought it was "nasty" to breast feed. Boy, was I wrong! I hope every woman will consider breast feeding their infants.
Thanks for reading

Being a parent is a blessing from God. I know many of you that many of you are non-believers, but this blog is not for you.
There is nothing like hearing your child(ren) saying their very first sounds, their first grasps and movements. It is a wonderful feeling and it can become overwhelming to many of us moms. No parent will ever be perfect, but you can be perfect in your child(ren)'s eyes. If you haven't noticed, kids forgive a lot easier than grown ups; most of them are not familiar with holding grudges against anyone that does them harm. With that being said, if you mess up, your child will most likely forgive you within a few moments and you both can move on, but if you continue hurting them over and over again, it will be more difficullt for them to forgive and forget. Anyways, my point is, be nice to your children, enjoy their presence and instill positive values into them. Make sure to build their spirits, so they will want to strive to be better people. Build their self-esteem and push them to be better than the rest. :) Anyone who is anyone, wants their child(ren) to have a better life! Push yourself to be the best parent ever. Thank God for the blessing(s) He has given you. Take care of his blessings!
