Go for a walk Take some pictures of nature Ride your bike (which I lovee). Read a book.  BBQ Play a game (Something like volley ball with friends). Try some of these tips and make the best of this wonderful season.

My baby girls first laugh!!

My little sweetheart brightened up my day with the cutest laugh on Wednesday. It was her first actual laugh and it was so cute! Thursday my husband caught it on camera and we had a full blown conversation and she was cracking up!! Ava is growing wonderfully and reaching all of her milestones. She is now kicking her legs in her bouncer to make her self bounce. She has the cutest little chunky legs and cheeks.  Its Saturday and me and Ava are relaxing and enjoying this day and so far she has taken two long naps. Now she is up in her bouncer talking to me while I write this post. It's truly blessing to be her mommy.  Pictures below!!        Daddy and daughter at the mall :)                                                           Chilling in her bouncer :)                                                                Tummy time!! :)

Benefits of Protective styling

Since being natural for 5 years going on 6 I have grown my hair to bra strap length. Now I'm at arm pit length due to me slacking on my routine during pregnancy. I love to style my hair in many different styles and experiment with hair color. I would be at waist length if I had kept up with protective styling like I did when I first started my journey. I love how diverse my hair is and it tempts me to play in my hair all the time. I used to roller set my hair weekly as a protective style when I was transitioning. Roller setting my hair helped tremendously with me retaining length, but as my hair grew longer I did not like roller sets in my hair. My next got to style was buns, I loved my buns and I became a pro at making my bun flawless. After so long of wearing a bun you have to consider your edges and my edges were definitely taking a hit so I had to improvise. I went back to the basics and start to wear my hair in single braids. Not small braids just simple plot braids aka Celi

Two Months old My love My world!!

Ava is 2 months old already! Time is is flying and I'm enjoying every moment I get to spend with her. She is holding her head up better and loves to sit up like a big girl. I'm very happy about being a stay at home mom because I don't want to miss any milestones. She is an absolute joy! Her finger nails grow so fast I have to keep mittens on her hands to keep her from scratching her face. It doesn't help I was scared to clip her nails fearing I would get some skin. I finally clipped them down really good and used a nail file. I gonna keep her mittens off for a day to see how she does. So far I think i'm doing good at this mommy thing. She has her fussy days but I don't mind them at all. When she gives me the biggest smiles they just melt my heart. Her dad is a natural at putting her to sleep. I love seeing them together they are so cute, he has a special bond with her. My little family is a dream come true and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Things

25 years vow renewal

I love when a couple makes a relationship last especially when its 25 years! Yesterday my aunt and uncle renewed their vows to each other. I was one years old when they got married, man that was a long time ago. I really enjoyed myself seeing family that I hadn't seen in a long time. The venue where they had the renewal was outside and it was beautiful. I took pictures of the view because it was so perfect. The weather was amazing as well which is rare in Cleveland. Im so happy for them and wish for them to have many more years together. I've been married for 2 years soon to be 3 on September 4th. Being married to your best friend is such a beautiful thing. I couldn't wish for a better relationship because we are so much alike and different at the same time. Here's to love and making it last. Below are pictures from the ceremony

Ava is 7 weeks today!!

Today Ava is 7 weeks and she is so smart and growing so fast right before my eyes. I adore this little girl so much. I feel so much joy having her in my life I couldn't wish for anything better. I look forward to all of our years to come together! She is smiling so much now and she is trying to laugh too. About a week or two ago she started to try and hold her head up and she is doing so good. At first I was shocked she could hold her head up. I was like no your not surpose to do that til 3 months but according to some sites I've been on she is on track. She has been in size one diapers for about two weeks now. She is such a good sleeper at night! She sleeps through the night, we have to wake her to get changed and to eat. I guess im lucky lol for now.  She is doing so much better with breastfeeding because at first her latch was wrong and causing me to have raw nipples. Im so glad that phase is over. I feed her on demand and let her sleep with me at night. She is so sweet!!!!

My Bundle Of Joy!!

Hey everyone! Since I've been away from my blog I've had a sweet baby girl. On July 6th 2014 I delivered my bundle of joy Ava Elise all natural with no pain medication. She was 6lbs 8oz and 19in long and my delivery was 18 long hours. I didn't think I would make it through those contractions because it felt like my insides were trying to come through my ass!! Any woman who has given birth to a child vaginally naturally I have respect for them. The hospital where I birthed my daughter was great because they were very attentive and the staff so nice to me and my husband. When I arrived at the hospital they told me I would get the large suit that I had been wanting. I was shocked because its only one large suit and I thought it would be taken being that it was the holiday weekend. We only stayed in the hospital 3 days which was nice. Since being home I've been enjoying my time with her and my husband and he had 4 weeks off from his job so that we could bond as a family. H
