Bad Mom's 2 Is Out & Hysterical
You don't have to be a Mom to see this and walk out with your belly hurting from all the laughs. I went last night with my sisters and it was hysterical. The best part about Tuesday Movie Nights are the $7 tickets plus any size popcorn for $5.
But really loving the new theaters in Norwalk where the chairs recline and you can order adult beverages and real food- which can get delivered to your movie seats.

First Fire Of The Season Feels Like Fall & Childhood
When I was a little girl I loved waking up to the smell and warmth of the wood burning stove. My dad is an early riser so he always had it going by the time we woke up. I didn't want to stop using my wood stove this season so I started it once all the kids woke up just in case the fire alarm went off, wouldn't want them to wake up to that. I must say I am impressed that a couple hours later and it is still going strong. There's nothing more comforting than the smell of something that reminds you of your childhood and well I want my girls to continue to have that too even if it means now it's me having to start and maintain it!

Just Like That...It's Ok To Let Things Go!
It's ok to leave relationships or friendships or a job that doesn't make you feel good. I never predicted my year would turn out the way it did or the last couple years of my life but everytime I feared a situation it would happen and one day I said I don't want to feel like this anymore and I changed. It's still not that easy. But I am happy and most of the time at peace and realized you don't have to stay in a situation that doesn't make you feel good, it's ok to say no more and change. Just like that!

She's always had my back and even more so recently! She helps me with my kids, is always there when I need to vent. She's always guiding me to better myself. She's amazing. She's beautiful and kind and always tries her best to make us feel good. She's definitely one of a kind and I look up to her in so many ways. Cheers Mom! May this be your best year ever!

What Do Moms Really Do When They Are Kidfree...
This totally represents my Saturday as a Mom, kidfree weekend and I cleaned, decluttered and loved it. Ok so now I am paying for it and can't get off my couch. It's crazy how I never thought when my kids were with their dad for the weekend I would be doing everything I once hated- getting organized.
I got up this morning and was determined. I put away all summer warm weather clothes and pulled out the winter stuff. I cleaned. Took down Halloween decorations and am loving the house. Quiet. Clean. Yes it will change when they are back tomorrow but for now I will enjoy spending the afternoon on the couch with my hair in a bun, drinking coffee from this morning and no not Gangsta Rap but watching Pretty Woman!

Marriage Killer...Bet You Never Guessed It...
Just read an article and this is so true and gave me some "aha" moments "The reason marriages end in divorce is because of one thing…unmet expectations.” That’s a marriage killer!" Yeah, who knew and makes complete sense! Not only with marriages but also applies to friendships, jobs and life in general. When we have expectations and they aren't met it leads to frustration and anger and fights and that is why things end the way they do!

Hand Made Uma Descendants Hat: Mommy Win
Oh my how Friday nights change when you're a parent....I couldn't find a hat or wig anywhere so decided to attempt one myself. Must say HUGE mommy win. Of course I spent my kid free Friday night making this and couldn't of done it without the help from my big sis. I took my daughter to Michael's craft store this week and she picked out this perfect yarn for $5. I found a pirate's hat at Party city for $8. My sister and I spent almost 3 hours on this project- I bribed her with dinner. But really we rocked this and can't wait for my little one to try it on with the rest of her costume. We attached the braids to safety pins and attached it to the hat. Last time I made her costume she was one years old so was fun to hang out and put my love for crafts to good use.
Isn't Your Plate Already too Full? Nope!
I switched schools this year for my daughter, some of it was due to personal reasons some were not regardless it was the best decision! She's happy, the atmosphere is more fitting for her, her values are peered up to kids with similar values, it's one of the best choices made this year! At her old school I was on the Governance Program, which is an awesome committee with parents, teachers, the principal and board of ed officials. You discuss issues about the school and how to handle issues, situations, you even have a say in certain situations in participating in hiring new teachers on etc...all depends on what's taking place at the school. I served the board one year and loved it. Why? Because it gave you an "inside" of what's happening in the school, board of ed, issues that affect your child and all the children. Spots were open at the new school and three positions had to be filled. One spot remainded and I finally nominated myself after a push from a mommy friend and had friends nominate me. Well out of eight parents on panel three could get voted in and we all got a chance to vote this week.
Guess who got elected a spot? Yep, mom of three, entrepreneur, running an awesome business that I love and raising some super awesome, smart kids- yeah I can brag- why not! Is my plate too full- maybe- but not for doing something you have passion for. We all know by now that if my voice can be heard I will rise at that opportunity to have it heard!
