just a couple kids wishing for a puppy for Christmas 🐶- again
.
not sure what question gets asked more around here, if they can get a puppy? or which one of them is my favorite? .
I always tell them I don’t have one (I have 4) but they all love the guessing game and reminding me why “themselves” are “IT”, which is 💯 percent ACCURATE ♥️🐶
My 2018 theme is: TAKE BACK
The year of “Take Back” refers to taking my life & body back. Last year I wrote a post called “the mini van effect“. Pretty much expressing the survival mode I’ve been living in with so many littles.
Now that my family is here, I’m looking forward to excel in all things.
For 6 years I’ve been nonstop breastfeeding and pregnant, I’ve gained and lost 120 lbs, I guess you can say I’m feeling pretty excited for 2018 to maintain and to not be changing sizes.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.
By the end of 2018 I want….
In 2018 I’m looking for CLARITY! It’s going to be a BIG year, quite possibly the BEST! As we start excelling I want to really feel good about making sure we are not leaving anyone out (i.e. a potential new family member) who wants to join our nest. Living in excitement without living in regret! And I think 2018 might be THE YEAR!
Wishing everyone a wonderful New Years!

If you’re looking for changes in the plumpness of you lips- PMD Kiss works wonders!!! This has definitely become a staple to my everyday routine!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and you are all enjoying the break. I have been loving & experiencing all sorts of feelings as we just celebrated another beautiful Christmas. I feel like I’ve been on pause the last couple of days. I started cleaning up Christmas, undecorated the tree, felt sick to my stomach about it and redecorated it. What’s wrong with me? I’ve never had post Christmas blues, but this year I’m feeling it.
Lots of inward feelings this time of year as we just celebrated Brooklyn’s first Christmas and finalizing my theme for 2018.

Pinch Me! Did this really just happen? I now OWN the bag I’ve wanted since July 2016! (see post here: I-have-been-changed)
I first saw & fell in love with the Louis Vuitton Kimono bag in NYC, it was love at first sight, until I saw the price tag. We had recently just moved into our home and I knew that I wanted to do a kitchen remodel and paint my home when I returned from my trip so I decided to postpone my purchase.
And I’m so glad I did. I found my $3250 bag for $2600 on StockX making the bag close to 25% off original price. My purchase was well worth the wait!
What’s your dream bag?
I remember my first dream bag, and my first designer bag I ever bought, was the black patent leather jumbo Chanel. When I first started blogging I told myself no matter what! I have to stick with my blog until I can payback my ($2000) camera I bought to shoot with for my posts and I couldn’t quit until I could buy in cash my dream Chanel bag. I could have asked my husband to do this for me, but this was something I wanted to do, these were my dreams I wanted to fulfill. So with the help from him being my photographer, and a few months later I accomplished the first of my blog goals. Here we are, a few more handbags and lots of goals accomplished 5 years later. Today I am prouder than ever to still be blogging. It feels great to have a platform and a space to make my dreams a reality.
If you’ve been saving for, or eyeing a bag, I recommend checking out StockX. You can find thousands of pre-owned and pre-loved authentic designer bags in a unique space. What makes it unique is that StockX is a live “bid/ask” marketplace, think buying stock in the stock market where a seller can set their price, and a buyer can either buy now or place a bid on the item. When a bid meets the ask, the transaction happens automatically. StockX sells Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermes all items have been pre-owned & loved as they are all in excellent condition. I can’t speak for all bags, but my Louis Vuitton Kimono looks & feels BRAND NEW! I couldn’t be happier that I checked out StockX!
**This being my last post until Christmas. I wanted to share this special song I heard as I leave you to enjoy the sacred December nights with family. But first, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. If you have been like me the whole month of December rushing around not knowing what to put under your tree. I hope this song brings you peace. You see, this year I am not going to give my children their ultimate Christmas wish. Instead of focusing what won’t be “barking” underneath our Christmas tree I am excited for all the other “things” this season brings. “Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Oh Night Devine, Holding on to Silent Holy Nights. I am excited to spend these sacred December nights with the ones I love. I wish you all a very Merry December and a beautiful Christmas. No matter what is or isn’t under your Christmas tree.
