So I decided to get serious about blogging (well as serious as one can get with two kids underfoot.) I am not very good at writing but I am very good at talking so hopefully the talent transfers over well enough to keep you reading.
Just to tell you a little about me: I am 29, and married to the love of my life :) who seriously drives me crazy, pretty much, on a daily basis. My hubby is kind, loving, forgiving and so serving but he is also messy, hates being late anywhere, and probably thinks the kids and I just sit around watching TV all day (ok so most days maybe, but he doesn't know, why is he assuming.)
My kiddos are awesome my daughter is 4 years old and occasionally acts like a tween, my son is 2 years old and he is my niño rey (yes I am a Latina, we love our sons way too much idk it just happened when he was born. I seriously regularly cry at the thought that he will one day tell ANOTHER woman she is the love of his life, I know I know, I'm cray cray.)
My side of the family is way too involved in our life to my husbands dismay, he seems to think my family will respect any boundary we set in place, idk he is also a little cray cray.
As to our life we are devoted Disciples of Christ and go to a wonderful church which is where we met while going to CSULA. Yes we are a little weird because we got to church every week without fail, and we actually read the Bible, and try our best to apply it to our lives, but really I am just so needy and imperfect the only one really that can handle all this craziness is THE ALMIGHTY. I have been a Christian for almost 15 years and it has been a roller coaster ride but I fall in LOVE with God more and more every year as he shows me true patience and understanding (again not the best mommy, wife, daughter, etc...)
I work from home while my awesome hubs works 40+ hours a week and for now I am full time mommy, and teacher to my kids, because preschool is So expensive where we live that I can't even,.. I just can't.
I miss talking to people (adults) because being at home all day with two kids can sometimes drive you, how do you say... completely insane without sounding like you hate your kids, So I have decided to continue writing in this blog regarding my own Mommy Thoughts about things I know, and love, and hate, probably many things I don't really know much about and I hope to be able to start a conversation with many of you about all of these. Like I said at the beginning I love to talk and make new friends so I am here for all the other mommy's at home and going whatever the word is for feeling completely insane without sounding like you hate your kids. Can't wait to hear about all of you!

Hello ,
So I went to Costco yesterday with a great friend and sampled some amazing frozen yogurt bars. Today as I was making lunch for the kiddos I could not stop thinking about those bars. You have to understand, they were rich and creamy, not too sweet and just plain delicious. Now our family is on a tight budget for groceries (and everything else) so I had decided at the store that I could not buy a box of these. So today when the cravings hit I hit the Internet. I found so many great recipes but being a mom of two babies under 3 I did not have time to do anything fancy so i just looked up the easiest recipe and in under ten minutes I had some strawberry yogurt pops in the freezer. I was so happy I now just have to wait for them to freeze. ( I totally drank the leftover smoothie part ha ha)
After doing all this I thought back to my childhood and realized how differently my children are growing up than I ever did. My mother had the rug pulled out from under her when i was 2 months old when she found out that on a trip to their home country my father cheated on her, the other woman got preggo and he was going to marry her and leave us! My mother did not have many options left to her so she began working full time to support us and has been working tirelessly as a housekeeper ever since. I never once had a lunch prepared in the morning for my school day. I grew up with my aunt taking care of me and three or four other cousins all at the same time and I remember doing all kinds of crazy things and getting into tons of trouble but having a blast. But I don't ever remember my mom making me lunch at home or taking the time to look up how to make frozen yogurt pops. I do not blame my mother or hold anything against her, in fact she is one of my very best friends. I am just so grateful that I can do this. That I can make my kids homemade meals everyday (even if I hate to cook), that I am always here to kiss their ouchies, that I can see them grow up to be amazing people. Thank you to my God that I have an amazing husband who doesn't complain on the days I hate being a SAHM and therefore don't clean the house (today actually) and doesn't complain on the days dinner is late or tastes weird but who is so loving and who supports us so that I can be here to make my daughter strawberry frozen yogurt pops. I love that man so much and ultimately I am so happy to be where I am. It has taken me a long time to surrender to being a SAHM and the feeling doesn't always stay or last very long, but in this moment thinking of taking those pops out of my freezer I am so proud and happy to be the mother of my amazing children.
