God Bless America

I am completely outraged upon hearing about the ignorant POS that shot and killed the two officers in NY. I am sick!!! Unfortunately, as a human race, this has reversed any "progress" that has been made from a racial standpoint. Unfortunately, he was a black male. Unfortunately, he was an idiot.  I am afraid to say under these circumstances, there will be no one to hold accountable because he killed himself in a cowardly act of disgrace.  He sure did "give those pigs wings," like he said he would in his instagram post hours before the slaying but what did he really prove? To see the oh-so-peaceful protestors out the day after with signs of 'kill cops to get our way' and so on.... WAS REPULSIVE. Do they not understand what this means? NO, of course they don't - they are the scum of the earth. We are destined for failure as Americans - because we kill each other based on color. The rest of the world laughs at us!!! We are the Ringling Brothers Circus of the world.

We still need to keep every single one of the innocent people - who died in this civil war based on race in our thoughts. My heart aches for all of their families.

BCS & one pair of #babymocs

I took off a few days from the office to spend with my little nugget. So far, so good. I can definitely feel the whirlwind of emotions and exhaustion from staying home with the little dude. We've read 2 "boos" 57 times, had 7 doughnuts, and a pound of peanut butter because mommy couldn't say no. The house is clean-ish, I suppose. The Christmas presents are half-wrapped. Needless to say, ya can't get too much done with the little hurricane running around wreaking havoc. I.still.loved.every.second.of.it. 

Sidney and I tried this new restaurant at the Sawgrass Mills mall called Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar -- it was amazing. Sidney ordered the breakfast burger with a fried egg, I had the buffalo chicken sandy & truffle fries, and Aiden had the chicken tenders. We will definitely be back. 

Two words: Truffle Fries -- & P.S. this was the best buffalo chicken sandwich I've ever had. The second best was at Swine Southern Table & Bar in Coral Gables -down south. I generally stay away from spicy but I can't pass up a good chicken, buffalo, and ranch trio. Want. Now. 

He is wearing his distressed gap shorts ;) #stylish baby His moccasins have been ordered but I won't use the same distributor again.... We had a little miscommunication, and it didn't end how I would have liked. I don't want to put her on blast, but as a small business owner wouldn't you like to keep business and not screw the customer? Whatever. I'm over it. I already have someone else I'll use. :) btw- if I start designing and distributing trendy toddler tees would you guys buy from me? Well, it's already in the works and fingers crossed for success. 

Christmas List

Sidney asked me what I wanted for Christmas and obvi, I told him a ring and a boob job. Welp! Apparently, those aren't Christmas presents-- so I'll just have to come up with something else. Lately, I've been obsessed with makeup and hair, so I'll probably just ask him to make me pretty for Christmas.

 Seriously though, I really don't need anything... after you have children the magic is buying gifts for them. It's really wild how quickly you change once you become a parent. Wonderful, but wild. 

We put the tree up last weekend and it only lasted about 20 minutes... Aiden completely wiped out the bottom 2 feet of the tree. Lights, ornaments, and all! I knew better... I was just hoping for the best. lol.

Growing up, we always opened one gift Christmas Eve, and then the rest the next day. Santa came in the middle of night and left opened presents stacked up by the tree. We always knew that the wrapped presents were clothes from mom and dad-  and the toys, electronics, etc. were from Santa. On the other hand, Sidney has always opened all of his gifts on Christmas Eve - even the ones from Santa were wrapped and already delivered. The battle of the cultures is among us. ;) I find it soo interesting how different cultures celebrate the holidays. Most of my friends are hispanic and they all have a wonderful dinner and open all of their gifts at midnight on Christmas Eve - AKA Noche Buena. Last year, I made lasagna and we opened one present on Chistmas Eve (Sidney opened all of his). On Christmas day, we waited for Nicky, and let the boys open all of their presents from us and Santa. I made a huge brunch and we had friends and family over that afternoon. This year, I want Santa to come and leave the boys gifts unwrapped - because I think it's more fun that way. Gah, I'm so excited.

Mascara Baby

I committed to Younique - and I am now a products presenter & distributor. I have become one of those crazies on insta & facebook who posts the corny pictures all day.

The difference between me and the other crazies: my products are practical. If you are fabulous, you are LYING if you say you are not intrigued by a mascara that when applied, makes your lashes look fake. I have always been obsessed with eye lashes and I feel prettiest when mine are curled and seperated perfectly.

Even in college I carried an eyelash curler in my bat bag for softball games. I am a fanatic that has been closeted, well, until recently.  Last week, I needed to buy new mascara so I googled my old mascara and BAM! True Life: I sell makeup. The mascara sells itself but the other products are a little more difficult to explain why they are better than the next cosmetic line. The answer is our products are all natural. Younique has vowed to keep their products chemical and cruelty free - which is cool.
