Mom Tales: Losing the baby pooch

 So today it happened. I put on one of my favorite black and gray stripped jersey shirts from H&M and nearly collapsed at what I saw. No, it couldn't be I said to myself gasping at my reflection. Yet there it was, my dreaded baby pooch. I nicknamed it my kangaroo pouch which used to be under control--until now.

I stumbled across this picture this morning and it immediately made me smile. On a day to day basis, many of us may tend to get boggled down by life's tribulations. Whether it's a dream deferred or lack of ambition due to fear, sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith. I'll never forget waking up every morning listening to Hot 97's Miss Jones Morning Show while I got dressed to go to grad school a few years ago. It was a very tumultuous time in my life, but every day Miss Jones ended her show by saying: "Never let fear come between you and your goals." I felt like she was speaking directly to me. I was at a place in my life where I wanted to give up on my dreams. But I never did. No matter what I faced, I made it through by focusing on the end result of what would make me happy. You can do the same. So today, I encourage you to face your fears head-on and do what makes YOU happy. You're worth it.

What do you do that makes you feel happy?
 

Fab Find Friday: Shoes!

Normally, I'm not a fan of membership services. Yes, you can call me a commitment phobe. But all of that changed when I stumbled upon Shoedazzle!

Mom's Night Out- Celebrity Edition

If you're a mom, most times you know your work is never complete. That's why a mom's night out is essential to remaining sane. This past Saturday, Love & Hip-Hop reality-star Yandy Smith hit up the popular Queens, NY lounge "Play" with her entourage.

All Linked up for "Style Me Friday"

I'm still new to the blogosphere but I couldn't resist participating in this week's "Style Me Friday" hosted by The Fashionista Next Door and The Baby Shopaholic . The theme--Jessica Alba's floral pants. Now we all know floral pants are right on trend. However, when I saw this particular inspiration, I realized that I purchased similar pants from H&M on sale for about $7 bucks. Score!
Now on to the look:

My take on the look

And Winter Marches on......

  I was in for a surprise this morning when I pulled back my bedroom curtains--MORE SNOW. Now usually, I'm the biggest kid around when it comes to snow. As an official winter baby, (my b-day is in January, plus, I was born during a snow storm) so normally I'm filled with glee at the sight of the white stuff. But today...oh today was NOT one of those days. I quickly jumped out of my bed, turned on NY-1 and prayed for school closures. No such luck.
