Love Demitra

Last month we celebrated Lizzy’s 3rd birthday. We decided to celebrate by Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Jane’s Carousel offer birthday packages, or you can do like we did and use the nearby benches, and purchase tickets for the kiddies; tickets are $2 a ride.

I love that both of our kids birthdays are during the summer, because it’s usually so easy to plan a celebration and a lot more options. Last year it rained for Lizzy’s celebration, and this year was no different. I was so damn annoyed because we had to postpone her birthday celebration due to rain, and then it only rained for about an hour, in the morning too. Dear weather app, you’ve failed me. Either way, Lizzy had the time of her life, and I just love that for her. When you don’t have a care in the world, and nothing else matters but happiness, and laughter, yup that’s living. We all need to get back to that childlike joy, we’d be a lot more stress free. Anywho, check out some pictures from that day, just look how happy she is.

I don’t know about you all but life has been moving so fast these few months; some career changes, a few vacations, some birthdays, it’s just been busy busy busy. It’s been exciting but also overwhelming. I’m now having down time, and getting back to the things I enjoy doing; like taking the time to blog.

So much has happened, and I’m going to try and get y’all up to speed. A few months back I went on a trip to Atlanta with my sister friends, (i’m not sure I’ve shared this here, or maybe I did lol). One of my friends had a gig out there, and was feeling homesick, so we took a trip to spend quality time with her for a weekend. We planned a pink outfit day It was such a nice vibe as you can see below. Having friends that show up for you is everything, and I’m blessed to have so many valuable relationships.

On Mother’s Day my best friend Ari and I took our mother’s out for brunch. It was cute, however if I ever say I’m doing a nice brunch/dinner for Mother’s Day and bringing the kids, remind me not to… Lawd those kids were a handful, and I said never again especially when I’m celebrating me will these kids have the opportunity to stress me out.. NOPE.

One weekend we went to watch my brother play soccer. The girls really enjoy going to his games, and cheering him on. He really has his nieces as his cheerleaders, it’s the cutest thing ever. One thing about the triple A’s they love their uncle.

I also briefly mentioned up there that I started a new career. I was at my previous job for the past 10 years… Yes 10 years, that is crazy. I’ve learned, and gained so much during those years, however it was time to spread my wings. I was becoming too comfortable and complacent, and I’m so happy I walked out on faith and just went after what’s mine. The world still has so much for me and I’m excited for the accomplishments to come. I hope you all also go out for what’s yours, don’t wait a day, a month, and definitely not 10 years. Sometimes we allow fear to navigate our lives, and then we’re wondering why we’re not performing at the best of our abilities. I know it’s better said than done, but baby steps, and in some cases like mine… Big steps.. just take that leap!

If you all read this far, thank you. I’m going to have a part 2 of this photo dump, because there’s so much more. I love you all always and forever.

Happy 3rd Birthday to our little Princess. She’s the boss of the house, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Lizzy brings so much light and laughter into our home, and we’re so grateful for it. She’ll randomly come up to you and say “I Love You” and share a kiss. When it’s time for bed she’ll ask for you to interlock hands with her until she falls asleep. I will cuddle, and interlock hands with you to put you to bed now and forever little mama. Her favorite pass time is probably bothering her big sister, and doing whatever she’s doing; dancing flipping playing roblox, yea she does it all… What 3 year old you know playing roblox?! lol.

We cannot wait to celebrate, and get cake wasted this weekend. Everyone wish our little princess a happy birthday. Although, she may not be able to read now, in the coming years she’ll be able to come back and read these posts. Lizzy, we love you!!!!!

A couple weeks ago when the weather was much nicer here in NYC my nephew and I took the girls out for some ice cream, and a park date. We went to this local ice cream shop in Brooklyn, near my parents, and it was nice, wish they had more ice cream options. Lately i’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, so I wanna try new ice cream too lol. What Ice Cream shops are your favs, I want to try some of those fancy ice creams I be seeing all over instagram with all that fancy stuff lol. One thing about us we love a ice cream, but we always go to the same ice cream shops, we also love a park date too, but can you blame us.

Taking out all three girls had me like whewwww 2 kids really might just be it. Before I had kids I always thought I’d have 3 or 4 kids, but wow kids really require a lot of patience, time, love, attention, and so much more. I am truly grateful that my kids have so many cousins in their age range, and they’re able to have the close bonds that they do.

I love that my niece an Aleise are the same age, and they are like best cousin friends, they fight but they also love so hard. I’m happy that my niece is bigger now, and is able to vocalize her feelings, so I feel a lot more comfortable bringing her out and about for a good time with the girls. We’re about to have us a good time this spring, and summer. Y’all the weather is getting nice so send me some things I should do. I’m currently putting things in my calendar for us to do. However, in the meantime, enjoy the rest of the week, we have a few sunny days, so get out with the kiddies and enjoy.
