New hair, who dis?

LOVING my new do! I used to chop off every 2-3 years and donate. It’s been about 4 years since I’ve done this and it feels amazing!

All y’all getting fun cuts and colors totally motivated me. So, thanks 😘

Let’s talk real life heroes!
Who is your real life hero?
What is something they did to “save” you?
Mine? Well, I might be wearing a superhero costume. But this woman next to me, she’s a hero in my heart.
I’ve know Shasity for 19 years (holy cow!) and she has seen me through some serious shit. Car accidents and cleaning road rash off my butt. Heartbreak and wiping tears from my face. And so much more.
There was a solid 3 year stretch where I depended on her friendship and I doubt she knows she kept me alive.
Thank you Shas for being my own personal superhero. And thank you for sharing your bed when I was homeless. I miss our spooning 😉😘 #friends #bff #family #sisters #thankyou #memories #somany #iloveyou

This guy...
Anyone else’s children do this?

As I’m making my coffee this morning he offered to help me. Super sweet right? Then as I am finishing up and turn around he’s washing the dishes. Oooookk.
20 minutes later I hear him in his room, figured he was playing... he’s cleaning 🤔
Ok. What’s up?

He’s doing chores and suggesting what he should get paid for each chore. Apparently washing dishes is worth $10 🤣😂 A fortnite pack was waaaay discounted and he wanted it. And he figured working for it would ease the blow 🤷🏻‍♀️ #kent #smartkid #fortnite #chores #workforit #lovehim

Make reminders of your favorite moments ❤️💃🏽☀️
I have 3 baskets of clean laundry needing to be folded.
Dishwasher needs to be unloaded, and reloaded.
I need a shower.
I need to catch up on a bit of work.
But when I walked into the kitchen to make some tea... I smiled at the memory of dancing in the kitchen with the boys before dinner.
This is actually something we do often. Even though basically every other room in this house is bigger, kitchen dancing is my absolute favorite.

So I stole one of the canvas boards from the boys arts and crafts area and made myself a reminder of what our kitchen is really for.

Also, stole another canvas to make something for the boys.
Since the day Kent was born, then when Wayne was born, I would always sing “you are my sunshine” to the boys when they would cry for whatever reason.
The last week or so I’ve been catching Wayne singing it. And it makes my heart SO happy.
Then! Kent, my sweet little love, tells me this week “mama, the sky is gray, look at me” I look at him confused “I’m your sunshine!”
It put the BIGGEST smile on my face and he looked so pleased with himself 😂

My homework for you this weekend: forget the laundry and dance in the kitchen. (Also, I’m no artist. Talk smack about my artwork and I’ll poke my finger in your eye!)

Ok. So I know Wayne is my child. I literally saw him pop right out of me. In my dining room. In a pool.
No brainer right?
Well, IF there ever was a time that I’d ever question this tiny human being were mine... I need but to give him mere moments to remind me that he is totally, undoubtedly, positively, 100% MY CHILD.

Please view exhibit A, B and C.
His Moreno blood runs true.

Only a descendent of the Moreno bloodline could use these facial gestures as an appropriate response to the question “Is that good?”

My Little Pony shirt, TMNT pants, Justice League blanket and a Peppa Pig coloring book.
It’s not “boys will be boys” or “girls will be girls”.
Kids will be kids.
We never taught Wayne that MLP or Peppa was “for girls”. We taught him it was “for anyone”. Our boys will likely grow up thinking cleaning the house is mostly a mans job and taking care of the vehicles is a woman’s job. But that either sex can help in each job if necessary.
Other than those two things, chores and responsibilities are shared equally in our home.

Don’t hold your children back from being amazing.
