It's A MOM's World

Mommy's Meatball Surprise! So, yesterday I was going through my planned meals list and Italian Meatballs subs came across but I was missing the sub rolls. I was stomped about what dinner was going to be and not to mention it was too late to try and thaw out anything else. So I started thinking about things and this recipe came to mind! I told them the name and the kids looked excited but my husband facial expression was more on the nervous side lol! Needless to say after it was all said and done everyone had seconds!!!! *feel free to add or take away some things at your desire, the list consists of things I used. Hope you enjoy! Ingredients List: FOR THE MEATBALLS - 2 packs of Italian sausages - 1 cup of Plain Bread Crumbs - 1 egg - 1 tbsp of brown sugar - Salt & Pepper OTHER ITEMS - Marinara Sauce -  Shredded Mozzarella Cheese ( we love cheese so I used the pack) BISCUIT TOPPING - for the biscuit top you can make your favorite recipe from scratch...

I know when things get tough we lose site of our plans, goals and ambitions. Well if you fall into that category than it's time to RE focus things and get a move on! I know life can be unpredictable and I get that but as soon as you began to feel  lost and out  of touch with reality, its now time to STOP. and gather your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we catch ourselves right when we feel as though everything is about to fall apart or even when things fall apart. Don't be so hard on yourself, just remember you can't stay there. It's ok to feel angry and somewhat disappointed in yourself, I mean you are human right? It happens but my remedy for that is to immediately identify the problem, and work on the solution. Instead of having a pity party and inviting guests regroup. I promise you if you take time out of your oh so busy schedule to put the focus back on the main goal, things will turn around for you quicker than ever. I know as adults we try to find ways to keep ...

When it comes to feeding a hungry family we all try to work in budget friendly but tasty meals. A few years ago I went online searching for ways of shopping and not just buying things and later putting them together. This can cause boredom with food and repetition. I would buy the same meats, side dishes and later throw something together. Eventually my family got so sick of that even I got sick of it. So I decided to plan out my meals and shop according to the meals and of course threw in snacks and produce. This is an example of how I set up my board here at home. I have five section labeled: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Miscellaneous and Snacks. Under each I write down what I need for them. Example for breakfast I put down what we need like Bagels, eggs, milk etc and I continue that for the rest of the columns. To the bottom right of the board I place meals for the next two weeks. Now we don't eat these meals in order, it's more of a template for what we want to eat. S...

Onnique's Interview begins below: Interviewer:   How old were you when you had your [first] child? O:  21 I:  Was it a happy time? If no, who helped (if anyone) you get through it, or did you do it alone? O:  When I gave birth to my first child, my son. I was just a baby myself. It was a happy time for my boyfriend (at the time) parents. My family really didn't like my boyfriend so it was kind of like an "oh hell she's pregnant" type of atmosphere. Even though my boyfriend and I lived together for three years at this point, they still didn't seem thrilled. But they were supportive!My mom allowed us to live with her for the firs...

If no, who helped (if anyone) you get through it, or did you do it alone? T:  It was a happy time, It was exhausting and stressful but definitely a happy time! I had lost my first pregnancy the day before my wedding so having my son and proving to myself that being a mom wasn't taken from me was the most fulfilling thing I had ever experienced. I:  Wow, that's beautiful. I'm sorry you had to experience such a lost like that before your beautiful day. I:  If you could go back in time would you change an...

Hey there ladies!!!!!! I'm looking to interview two beautiful moms for my blog. Only requirement is that you are a mom lol. You can remain anonymous if you would like. I want to start a new addition to this blog which features interviews from other mamas out there! Interested? Ok, just email me aayla87@gmail subject: interview!

 Whether we want to believe it or not the children in our lives play a very special and important role! Although we feed, clothe and take care of them (which is our job) they add so much value and purpose to life that we should treat them as such. It's really easy to get tied up and busy with all that life throws at you but again these kids of our didn't as to be here so it shouldn't reflect as such. I said this to say do you value the littles you have in your life? Do they know how important they are to you? Do make them feel that they are special? With so much hate going on in this world it's up to us to show our children they mean the world to us. Now I'm not saying they are perfect little angels lol but I am saying the way they turn out as an adult begins with the molding and shaping we do as parents and guardians. As parents we know life can overwhelm us so bad and we just break down and hide in a dark corner. But reality of it all is we can't do that to th...

*****This specific post is for my Moms who are in committed relationships and have been for a couple years now!      So you're a mom and have a partner/spouse etc. You've placed yourself on the back of the life bus because everyone else's needs came before yours. Now and you're wondering what's next? Is that you right now? Well I myself have been there too, I was so hurt because like any other person I had dreams and goals I wanted to pursue them BUT everyone else came before me. Have no fear if you really want to follow your dreams by all means go ahead. Now it's not going to be easy but at the end of the day if that's what you want it'll be worth it. Think about how much it'll make you feel better doing things you're very passionate about. I know for me I feel my purpose is to help those in need. That's why I birthed this blog and my YouTube videos. Of course things aren't moving as fast as I would like but they are moving, so I'...

          I'm sorry for the misleading title but honey you are NOT perfect and even though everyone looks for you to be, YOU have to remember you aren't. We as moms have to remember we can only be and do so much and when some things go lacking it's actually OK. If you have a full household as I do than you know or you're in the process of realizing you can't be everywhere at once and get everything done how the rest of the house would love for you to. We get so beat down and criticize ourselves so badly for not being all that we can be. I mean you are human right? I know I am, so I can't do the things that require me to be everywhere or do things that all need to be done at once. That's why we have to set schedules for ourselves. WE have to, not someone else. Many of us find ourselves envious of those who have  what we consider it to be a little "easier". Truth be told they probably have it worse than  we do b...

         You're right you read the title correctly. I'm going to give you the most un-followed rule in parenting and explain briefly why you should follow it today. You ready? OK the rule is: STOP LETTING PEOPLE TELL YOU HOW OR WHAT YOU SHOULD DO AS A PARENT! Did you really think I was gonna give you rules on how to take care of your children? If you did let me stop you here by simply and respectfully saying Honey, EVERY child is different so there is no rule book nor a manual on how YOU should parent your child/ren. I know I know I know I've searched the libraries, book stores etc scouring the book isle for some sort of book. I've found plenty on what people THINK you should do but those don't always work. See we all are raising different types of little people. Now these doctors and book writers can only give you a vague range of how kids act or what we SHOULD expect from a child at a certain age. Contrary to their belief all kids don't do things...

             Pause for just a second, how have you been treating yourself? Have you been taking some time out and at least giving yourself some time to breath? or have you been so busy because you feel if you're not being productive your wasting time? Honey let me tell you, I'm the type of person if I'm not doing something productive I feel like I'm just wasting my life away. Listen mom, we have so many jobs and the pay isn't great at all. We get no sick days and no PTO! We work 24-7 and vacations are rare, so when I say it's OK not to be so hard on yourself I mean it. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have three children: 9,2, and 1. So my hands are pretty full especially this summer.  A normal errand free day in my household consists of Waking up, making breakfast, clean something in the house, give everyone a snack, clean something else, eat lunch, TRY TO MAKE THEM NAP AT THE SAME TIME, fix or clean something e...

          As I was sitting here watching iZombie (hey this mom has her favs), Something prompted to me to write a post about how us MOMS are not alone. We all seem to feel we are the only ones going through what-ever it is we're dealing with at the time. I'm here to tell you that almost all mothers either been where you are or will be in some time. Life can be this vicious cycle, if we let it. I know it's easier to just let life take over and quit, but you cannot quit! We have other people (the littles) depending on us, their every move is looked for from us. Without moms kids feel so lost and misguided. I always tell people crying is OK . So many people have been taught crying is a sign of weakness, when in reality it's a sign of strength. You are strong enough to even be vulnerable, that I say is a very strong characteristic. Never let anyone, not even a parent tell you crying is for the weak. I'm a military spouse something I don't like to share via...
