On a personal note...Father's Day

Dad is always that one man that will always be in your life. Other men come and go but he is there in your life forever. My dad is another person who had a lot of influence over me and taught me a lot of things. It was crazy when I started to get an allowance, he had me tracking my finances. I'm thinking "What do I need this for? All I buy is candy and barbie stuff!!" But it was a valuable lesson I needed to learn and I'm grateful for that. I knew how to put money away to save and track how much I was spending. I was able to save over $4000 for my first car which I couldn't believe that I did. He was always reading to me and teaching me things about life and how to survive in the real world. I can be shy sometimes but I remember my dad would always send me into the fast food restaurant to order our food. I used to hate going inside but it taught me how to talk to people and not be so shy. I didn't understand why at that time but I do now. I guess that's the thing with parents. They teach you things they know you will need in life. They know you won't understand it at first but know you will need it in life. My dad really stressed the importance of a good education and to strive for success. He wanted me to successful and great at whatever I was destined to do in life. He was always there for support and someone to talk to. He also taught me that I needed to be independent and stand on my own but if I needed help, not be afraid to ask for it. He stressed the importance of just always learning new things and challenging yourself. My dad loves being a grandfather, its a new role he has taken on. My son has another male figure to look up to because I always admired my dad. He always worked hard to provide for his family and be there. I thank my dad for all the lessons he has taught me, I'm still learning some of them but I'm grateful for the knowledge I have.

Another father that is special is my boyfriend. He has taken this father role and ran with it. I love watching him interact with our son. My son is always talking about daddy and loves guy time. He is setting such a good example for our son and I'm glad that he is in our life. I couldn't of asked for a better father for my child. I know when we decide to have more, they are going to love him just like he is so loved now. We both stepped into parenthood not knowing what to expect and we are doing a really good job. They do say that boys are Mommas boys but I think he's Daddy's Boy more. Daddy is his best friend and I'm just Mommy lol!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!! Hope you enjoy your day!!

There will not be a post on Sunday, next one will be Tuesday.

When did people stop saying "Excuse Me" and using manners??

Tried the Oprah Chai Tea today, it's actually pretty good!!

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post HERE!! I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-

Fall Fashion Trends 2017

I keep saying it but I'm going to speak it into existence, I'm going to New York Fashion Week one of these days. It has always been a dream of mine to go and I always miss when it is or have a conflicting schedule but I'm determined to get there. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to share some of my favorites Fall Fashions trends I've seen floating around. Plaid Image taken from the web I feel like plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in style. It may not be in the forefront but you always see it. I love plaid, I don't wear it often but I just love how you can dress it up or down, be casual or dressy with it. I would normally wear a plaid button up shirt but would like to venture into different pieces. Sleepwear When I first saw people doing this, I wasn't a fan but the more I saw different versions, I started to like it. I like this trend when it is done right. I feel like this can be worn on a night out, something you
