When it comes to my children I like to write about the things that to do in my life to make me unbelievably happy. And believe me, there are many things that relate to my children that causes a smile to spread across my face. I was going to keep this to myself. When it comes to my children, I am more so of a private person. I like to keep most negative things out of my blog, especially when it pertains to my children, but this could possible affect a big part of my life as well as my families life. My two year old son Tooty (that's his nickna...

It has been a hectic few weeks in the diva household. We have geared ourselves up, once again, to move. This time the move is a more permanent one though. (We are going to buy the house that we are moving into this time.) I'm really excited about it. We go to sign the paperwork this Tuesday and then we will be on our way to homeownership. With that comes some very unwanted stress. My youngest son demonstrates this stress the best: His first face demonstrates how I have been looking for the past few weeks knowing that I have to repack my ent...

I am big on holidays. Any holiday to be exact. I always throw small family parties for my children for everything from Valentines Day to St. Patrick's Day. I just love working with themes and seeing what creative activities and decorations that I can come up with. Halloween is no exception. I am not big on trick-or-treating. I have a tendency to be a little over protective, so I avoid the door knocking tradition every year by throwing a small party at home. We trade in costumes and miles of peddling for Monster Punch, a scary movie marathon, g...

Imagine my excitement when I was chosen by Bonefish Grill to participate in a review. Although I have heard nothing but good things about this restaurant, I personally had never eaten there before. When I went to Bonefish Grill's web page I saw that they had a location near the beach, so that made me even more excited to go. THE CHALLENGE I was given a $25 gift certificate to Bonefish Grill. I was then given a $25 American Express gift card to use at another restaurant. I was to eat at both restaurants and then cross compare my experiences....

Every once in awhile, I have to get free. Not because I don't enjoy being around my family, but because I need to remember what it feels like to be a woman and not just a "mom." I know that other women with children can sympathize with me. So often we devote our entire lives to our family, and raising our children, that we forget that we are women too. We aren't just "mom." We aren't just "wives" or "girlfriends" or "significant others." We are women who once before had a life that included friends; that included other adults. We use to hav...

I have received quite a few emails from readers who wanted to see some of the pictures that I had taken on my wedding day. Although they may not be as fancy, or professional as others, they are just right for me. To have my special day captured in photos is something that will forever be emblazoned in my mind. I am so appreciative of the life that I am forming with my husband that I wanted to share my joy with all of y'all. These pictures were taken with an iPhone. Baby I love you, you are my life. My happiest moments weren't complete ...

Sunday is the day that my family takes to relax. We like to sit around the house and just be lazy all day. I'll usually prepare quick and easy meals and take some time to wash all of our laundry. (I am currently in the process of selecting a new washing machine and dryer, so if you have any recommendations swing them my way.) This Sunday my fiance husband was off of work, (I have to get use to his status change. *smiles*), so we decided to switch the routine up a little bit and go to the flea market and then take the boys to the beach. Every...
