MOM FAILS....because we all had them!




Randomly, I will post my favorite failures... I know you're thinking, "What on Earth is the matter with this lady!??" Well, we all post our accomplishments, wanting accolades and pats on our backs, but what about those random failures that mold us to become better women, wives, and mothers?

MOM FAIL #2134
We all that moment during the month where  attempt to eat everything in the refrigerator to clean and bring in new food. Well, this week was my week! This morning, I cooked the last of the sausage and eggs. I had tortillas, shredded cheese, and taco sauce...oh, and Malt-O-Meal...so I "attempted" to make breakfast tacos. Assuming it would be a huge hit with my kids, I served it. The looks I received was unbelievable, the comments were worse!! LOL
My oldest exclaims, "Mom, this looks bad, but I'll eat the eggs." Then she goes on to say, "Everything is nasty, except the juice. I'll drink the juice!" I laughed! Then my second oldest says, "We need to go to Walmart to get more food. I don't like this."
Now you would think all that was said was offensive, but it did not top what my son did! Now, he would eat anything, unless he really hates it. He'll eat my food all day, but not today, he picked over EVERYTHING! SMH.. This refrigerator day was a complete failure, but I got a great laugh out of it!! LOL


More to come!!

Dating my husband: Bringing Blissful Moments Back

I am learning to take time out for my husband. With the hustle and bustle of family life and education, he is always the last on my list. Whether men want to believe or not and thankfully, my husband has admitted that he needs attention. Not does he need the attention, but so do you! I can remember complaining about not having enough adult conversation and company. Everyday I am at home with a group of toddlers, it is normal to want to get away a few hours.

Children changes a marriage. Before children came into the picture, date night was EVERY night! As our family changed so did our chance of having alone time. Everyone can attest that the first year or so in a marriage is the most testing and exciting ride of our lives, but how do we continue with the stresses of life bogging us down?

We found ways to spend time with each other. Sometimes, I may work with my husband for the day. This gives us time to catch up with each other and may even learn something new! Other times, we may take a walk or just find a babysitter and go out. We don't spend a ton of money to enjoy each other company, but when we do, we go all out! Those few hours definitely make a difference.

With our wedding anniversary approaching, we will do things a little differently. We will attempt a weekend getaway...no kids...no work just my husband and I. We both deserve some relaxation and conversation.

What is your ideal date night?
