Build 'Em Up Series: Remembering You!
November 10, 2006 was the day that forever changed my life. I gave birth to my son, Adrian. Since then, I have been Mama, Mommy or Mom. It has definitely been the most difficult and memorable journey of my life. I love my son but in the process of becoming a mom, the real me has disappeared. I used to be thinner, do my hair, wear make-up, dress-up and wear heels. Now, I throw on the first thing I find, haven't worn make-up in weeks and live in flats. I feel like I cannot find time for myself but somehow always have time to coordinate Adrian's outfits and make sure he gets out for play and exercise. I know most of it is laziness, I do not want to get up an extra hour early!
I was reading Kelly's blog today, Kelly's Korner, and she has a new series called "Build 'Em up," meant to empower women to better themselves. Today's topic is "Remembering you" and I have had a moment. That moment when you realize that you need to change something. I had that. So my fellow mom bloggers, I am taking this post as a challenge to Remember myself. Starting today, I will do the following:
1. Get up an hour earlier and dress up! Wear those heels that have been collecting dust in the closet!
2. Take an hour off of being a mom when we get home and do some form of exercise, whether its walking or yoga or swimming!
3. Watch what I eat, NO MORE JUNK!
4. I am going to go buy makeup. Yes, I am going to go out and only buy something for ME!
I am tired of what I see in the mirror everyday! I am going to better myself which I know will make me a better mom. New me, here I come.........

Weekend Recap 04/06-04/07
Hello all! I had a busy weekend.....it was my first wedding coordination! I've coordinated/planned bridal showers, baby showers and parties but never a wedding and never so last minute! It did come out beautiful and since it's not my wedding, I only took a couple of pics of the table setups so you can see what I was up to. JC stayed with the kids on Saturday while I was at the wedding (he's great, isn't he?) and then he and I hung out on Sunday, strolled Tar-jay and had some friends over for a BBQ.
Here's some pics:
Table setups at the wedding (it was an the Ancient Spanish Monastery so everything looked so beautiful and ethereal!
Here's some pics:
Adrian had his first brownie on Friday...loved it!
Adrian and Gian were "beating" each other (mind u...it's broken), I really hope they learn to read soon!
I made the kids pancake pops before I left on Saturday morning. They were quite a hit!
Amberly saw this heart braid on Pinterest and insisted that I try it out on her. Not too bad!

Aren't these roses gorgeous?
Well that was my weekend! Did you do anything fun?
