Hello

 Its may 1st, can y'all believe it?!. i know that i have not written on this blog for a while, its really hard being a mom and writing a blog. i really don't know how some of my favorite blogs do it. i take tons of pictures of the kids and I'm happy to share them with the world but coming up with "material" to write about don't always come easy (lol).

a lot has happen since i last wrote a blog post.

Jaylen our oldest turned 8 and Chase our middle child turned 4!! i really can't believe that our boys are growing up so fast, its really difficult to watch, we would love them to stay innocent forever. 

but anyway, i really hope that i could come here at least three times per week to show off my boys and talk about crap. 

here are some recent photos....

chase turned 4!

jaylen turned 8! 

Bits & Pieces.... 

Hello, my friends in blog world!

this is bits and pieces of our little life in pictures. 

i have been a busy little bee around these parts. two of  my boys are having birthdays next month and i don't  think that we are having a party for both of them this year. jaylen would like to have a race car birthday party and chase is going to have everything that he wants just not in the form of a birthday party, i am planning a fun filled kids day in NYC, i think we might just do a kids museum and fAO the biggest and best toy store every!. 

what have you guys been up too? 

 Our little life.....

     jaylen loss a tooth and is not happy about it thats why he has that grumpy face on.

    i have been have in tea at least 3x per day and i love it!

     i have decided not to wear jeans anymore. dresses and skirts only! :)

Hello friends....

i have been a naughty blogger but hopefully that will all change in the month of march.
here are a few photos of "our little life".

Our little world...

we have been have some fun times around these parts, but next week is going to be even better because daddy will be home for one whole week!!! (he's a teacher) i love when my husband is home during the week and so does the kids because we get to do more family outings. next week we are planning on taking the kids to the aquarium for the very first time!, i can't we that are going to be so blown away but and the sea creatures. 

my kids are growing up so big and its really killing me on the inside, i really just want to keep them young. when i look and jaylen and chase i really can't believe that in April they are going to be 8 and 4 years old  omg! where did the time go?, this is the reason why it is so important for me to spend as much time with them as possible. 

Our Life According To My Phone

  

Hello Friends, 

Things have been quite hectic around these parts. i am just trying to enjoy my children everyday. I have learned recently (a little late but....) that in the end its more important to play, read and just be with your children than it is to wash the dishes and do the laundry etc..., I have been really making these things more of a priority than my children, and i know its because of the way i was raised. That cycle have been stopped. Kids first &  house later. 

What I Wore..

Hope your weekend was awesome guys!. Here is what i wore to church on Sunday.



jacket- Gap thrifted
Shirt-jcrew-thrifted
Skirt- Vintage Knit. thrifted
Tights- Target
Shoes- Steve madden-thirfted
Bag-Jcrew



P.s the reason why I'm laughing so hard in the first pic is because my hubby says the most funniest things to me when he takes my pictures (lol)

happy weekend

NEKO 25 MONTHS 

Writing this update about my baby Neko makes me both happy and sad. I just can't believe that my ''baby'' is already two!. Neko is a fighter (literally) but he is also the sweetest baby ever, he gives the best kiss and hugs. He loves to eat and he also love, love loves to laugh and he has the best laugh ever.

when i look at him i really feel special that god gave me the opportunity to be his mama.

His favorite food is pizza.
He says "thank you" for everything.

He loves to watch Shrek.

this pass week was not easy at all.i have been thinking about all the things that i can not eat and it is just killing me that i can't have any of it. eating oatmeal and chicken and broccoli  does take it's toll on you and all i want to do is eat a Fat burger. ugh! (breath) dieting is not easy at all but i will keep going to the gym five days a week and keep trying to eat right one day at a time. 

What i wore, Sunday morning 

On Sunday mornings i get up and get all the kids ready for church, plus make breakfast for everyone.
So i usually have only thirty minutes to get myself ready, if your a girl like me then you know that's not enough time!. This is what i wore to Church on Sunday and i kinda of like it because it was super easy to put together.

weight loss-3.6lbs

If you notice, i did not lose any weight this week. i miss two day of working outs, and on two occasions i went over my calorie intake because i was in some social situations.

But i still feel great. And i am still working hard at it. 

    

thrifted lately

1.steve madden shoes 

2.black vintage booties

3.black jcrew jacket (i hunt down jcrew clothes in thrift shops because they are my have).

4.dooney & bourke bag 

5.plaid vintage baby doll dress

6.two tone vintage boots

My thrifting habit is getting a little out of control,i just can't leave anything behind for the next person. 

this picture just shows a fraction of the things that i have purchased lately. i think once you start thrifting and seeing how much you can "save" & what you can get for your money, you just can't stop. well i don't know about you guys, but i need to put myself on a budget "(lol). 

As of late i have been getting vintage girls clothes (i don't even have a daughter!) i just can't leave them behind. one day i will have to take a picture of my "little girls vintage stash" (but you can't tell my husband).

What have you thrifted lately? anything good?

p.s here is a picture of me wearing a few of my thrifted items from above
