Sisterhood and Life

What about that Dancing with the Stars last night!!  I am loving the dancers this season.  I wasn't sad to see Elisabetta Canalis go last night.  I don't know how to describe it, but she wasn't doing it for me. Anyways, I think Chaz might need to go next.  I know, but I am just saying....

The reason I am posting today is to discuss success both your personal life and business.  Most people discuss those two topics as separate entities.  I personally have seen those two things come together in my world.  As you know, I am a stay at home mom of two and recently started an online marketing business.

After my grandmother died last year, I really started looking into what my life is all about.  I never knew myself to have this drive to do something grand or a hunger for a career.  I love being with the kids and I love working and socializing with people too.

I came across an old childhood friends website portfolio today. http://fabmom.com   I am really proud and inspired by her success.  She was always the girl you knew would do cool things in her life.  I had fun reading her blog and realized that we are all the same.

This is another girlfriend of mine from my hometown

As women and mothers, we want others to empathize with our pain and struggles.  There is a great community of women online that are sharing their highs and lows of life with the world.  I feel so inspired to share this great gift of motherhood with women as well.

So pay it forward and share your story of inspiration or determination with someone today.  This type of sisterhood can bring us together.

Love ya all

How To Be A Good Housewife

Hey Everyone,

Wow, where have I been?  Well, let's see, the kids broke the TV in my room and my husband and I managed to break our laptop the same night.  Talk about some good luck.  Now that all of that chaos is out of the way, I can focus on my blogging, business and family.

I am so stoked that Dancing With The Stars is back on for season 13.  I love the hype the show has created out of nothing.  The cast is great and I am really pulling for Ricki Lake.  She was great on her talk show back in the day.  Tell me what you might think of the cast and your favorites.  Every season of DWTS, I perform my best dance performances for my husband just to make him laugh.  I do feel that somewhere deep inside I am a dancer.

Let's discuss this weirdy housewife from DC.  This lady is in another planet.  She floats through life with the motto "ignorance is bliss" and that estranged husband of hers.  Wow!  I will stop there before I really unload.

Most importantly, I had revelation this last week.  In order to be a good housewife, I have to take care of myself.  This sounds lame but it is really true.  This past year has been challenging both personally and professionally.  I realized that I continually placed myself last in the line-up.  Ladies need to take notice of this behavior because what you think is the right way is all wrong.

  • Create a routine
  • Take care of yourself and appearance
  • Develop a hobby or group to take part in
  • Listen to your needs ie: time alone, exercise...
Trust me...I used to ignore all of these things because I thought that meant you were being selfish.  What I realized is that it is more selfish to lay your depression or sadness on everyone around you.  

I want anyone reading today to promise to take care of you!!  Your family will thank you.

Back to School and Back to Reality

As a child, I always remember back to school being so exciting.  My children are young, although, I feel that excitement for them.  We start our first real school day tomorrow and I am already anxious.  This is bittersweet but necessary.  I just wanted to reach out to all the first timers who have stayed at home with the kids and are experiencing some slight anxiety this week.

We will survive and so will the kids!!!  Stay in touch with what is important in your life and take a load off.

Most importantly, just kidding, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has begun.  I found the episode not to disappoint last night.  I felt terrible for Taylor, who lost her husband to suicide, and the guilt that leaves with all surviving family.  The show is going to be better than ever with all the drama from the ladies.

Lastly, Dancing with the Stars cast has been revealed.  I am so excited for the show to begin.  The casting department made a real controversial move casting Chaz Bono.  I find no issue with having him as a cast member.  Chaz comes from one of the most famous entertainment backgrounds and seems like a good person.  I really wish that we would stop being afraid of diversity in this country.  Who are we to say what you should look like or feel like in this world.  Grow up people and show some compassion.  My children love to watch the show with me and will continue to throughout this season.  

I think the fall line up of shows are going to be great, as well as, our new school year.  Stay tuned and feel free to subscibe to this blog and enjoy all the craziness I will be reporting.
