Feeling glorious...

While I was jamming to Macklemore's song Glorious in our car, all my son could sing was 'Baby...baby...ooohhh'. Jajajaja (laughs in spanish)
I guess he really likes that Bieber song. Mind me, we don't listen to a lot of Bieber music. I have no clue where he got it from. 
Few things from this experience that made me feel some type of way. 
-My son made me realize that these moments are what life is about. A phrase that is constantly said by many, "enjoy the little things". Or "stop and smell the roses". But not followed often. After having a meltdown the other day over what my life "should be like". This small moment made me truly happy. 
A few days ago, I was feeling overwhelmed with school work. I had this feeling of, what's the point?!?! Why am I going through all this, if I don't even know what major I will be getting into. Once I transfer into the University, I have no idea what I will be majoring in. It's a decision I can't wrap my head around. I have to decide what I want to do the rest of my life. & then what? What if I hate it? Not being pessimistic but what if?...
If any of you have any words for me, go for it & give them to me! I need as much advice as I can get.

Anyways back to the moment with my son & his beautiful singing. I realized that, I need to count my blessings & enjoy the ride. 
Like a very good friend told me. "Nothing in life is easy." I'm just going to have to pick myself up, dust myself off and jump right back on the horse. Or however that saying goes...

Then the songs verse jumped to 
"I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious"

& it was as if the universe sent me a sign. A sign that everything will be okay! Also, I just really like this song. Macklemore always gets me with his music. Between thrift shop & glorious. I am a fan!

Since I will be stopping to smell the roses more often. Here are a few more things that make me smile. 
-The clean smell of bed sheets. I love it when I wash our bed sheets & blanket. I sleep much more comfortable and happy. 
-Driving home and enjoying the view. There's a farm nearby and on my drive home we can see horses. They make me smile every time I see them.
-When my sweet son sings in the car (obviously) He just started to sing along to the music a few months ago. It's not kid music either. 
-& many many more 



What makes you smile? What makes your day?  Let me know, I'd love to hear other people's thoughts. & Thank you so much for reading mine! 
Xoxo,
Carla 

 Note:I tried taking a picture of the horses but couldn't get a good shot. I will keep trying though. Plus side was, one of the horses allowed me to touch him!!!

Five nights at freddy's 5th birthday party....

I know... I know... Five nights at freddy's aren't exactly the characters you'd expect a 4 or 5 year old would like. My son however is obsessed with these ugly looking characters. He has been watching their music videos and such for a couple months now. Therefore, his birthday party theme this year was obviously Five nights at freddy's. I opted to do it friendly and not scary with the "nightmare" version. For you mommas, who have kids obsessed with these characters. Here are some ideas for your theme party. We held the party at a local park. Set up tents, ice coolers, tables and chairs. Invitations... I like to be simple when it comes to invitations. I send out a custom made invitation through text messages or make an event on Facebook. (Most our family and friends are on there) When I say custom invitation, I mean custom made by me. 😁 Food... Since the characters like to eat pizza & Fred Bear Fazbear works at a pizzeria. (Or something) The ma...

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself.  As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it.  Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself.  Never completely content with my appearance.  Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body.  You name it!  In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends.  Which often times they hear from others.  Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain.  It took me years to loose the weight.  Even then, my body is not perfect.  Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...
