Queen G... growing up...

Well... its official... my baby girl turned one this month!  I have flip-flopped around in my emotions, ranging from excited to tears.  She is growing up so fast and all I can do is watch helplessly.  Before I know it she is going to be in school, make-up... if only I could slow it down just a little.  I know, I know - I sound like a lunatic in this, but it feels like no matter how much I try to savor every moment that I am going to miss something.

Gia Raine... mommy loves you more than anything in the whole wide world... today, tomorrow, & forever...
Happy 1st Birthday!

Bitch is the best you've got?


Over the years I have had many names thrown out at me... I used to let them get me all worked up and my feelings would be hurt.  Not anymore though.  I now embrace my most frequent title... BITCH.  


Lets face it, I am never going to be (nor would I like to be) that sugar sweet personality type.  I value bluntness as a virtue, and sometimes I come across blunt to the point of harsh.  Now don't get me wrong, I have lots of love and compassion and will gladly help anyone.  I just don't have time to sugar coat shit or cosign bad behavior.  

If that makes me a bitch... then go ahead and up my title to QUEEN BITCH 
and I will make sure I earn the title.  LOL...

Little Miss Independent


Well, it's official... my itty bitty baby girl is growing up!  It started with rolling over (and off the bed a couple of times), then on to sitting up... now she is crawling and pulling up to EVERYTHING she can reach.  Yesterday she just about let go of what she had pulled up to and stood alone.  Its going by too fast!  

I struggle within myself between wanting to put her in a protective bubble and wanting her to learn that it is okay to to explore.  How do you find that perfect balance as a parent?  My little queen is definitely of the independent variety... she insists on feeding herself now and has decided that she is too big to eat baby food most of the time.  Guess that means I will be cooking now...


I enjoy every moment... every giggle and smile... 

I do need prayers as she grows up though... I am still considering the two of us joining the convent before she turns four.
