How to stretch your time

 This morning, I honestly felt like super woman. Before 9am this morning, I cleaned up the entire upstairs, started laundry and went to the grocery store. ALL before 9am when I have to clock-in to work. (I wake up at 7am) One thing that I thought about as I was leaving the grocery store is the days that I don't get an early start to. The days that I could have done more but I did not have 'time'.  So, as I sat there, I'm thinking like wow.. I could literally pick a day out of the week to complete chores. For examples: Monday: Bathrooms, Tuesday: Bedrooms, Wednesday: Laundry/floors etc. That would help me out so much, just dedicating 30mins or so to clean an area. I also (TRY) to plan out our meals for the week. This way I can go grocery shopping once for the week then focus on the menu for the following week. I'm a mom, I work part-time, run my business full time, try to stay on top of my hair/nails/eyebrows ETC all while running a household is HARD! I am sharing th...

Balancing life and friendships.

We're all adults and most of us are in our mid to late 20's. We are currently in a stage where we are finding new friends, losing old ones and still in the midst of finding ourselves while raising these kids, searching for our soulmate and trying to solidify our career. THAT IS A LOT! I often feel like I don't have enough time for my friends or I don't check on them enough. And that's just my personal guilt. The average person can see that I am genuinely busy trying to build a better lifestyle for myself and my kid. Friends are important, at any stage in life, especially the "good" friends. And the good depends on the type of friends you may need. Some of us like to go out and party, some don't. Some of us like book clubs, some of us like concerts. However you feel a friend can best cater to you, that is what you should be looking for. One thing that I have learned is friends don't grow "with" you and you cannot blame them or be upset wit...

Feminine energy

 Back again ladies!! I hope your week is going well. This week is focused on reflecting opposed to just reading. This week, I want us to think about the best ways to tap into our feminine energy. WITHOUT A MAN. Think of things that makes you feel safe, beautiful and fulfilled. Some examples I have for myself are: pampering myself, cooking & cleaning my home are my top 3. Comment yours: Love y’all, See you next weeeeek ❤️

Forgive or forget?

How do you find peace within situations where you may feel you have been wronged? I would like to be perfect and say “I just move on” but I don’t. As an adult, hell a human, people are going to shit on us. Regardless to how good of a person you were to them. It is easy to forgive yourself or tell yourself “I didn’t do anything wrong” and in prospect of the opposing party, I can 100% guarantee you that’s what that person is thinking. In the past few years, I have become so at peace with what I have not done. And something else I have learned is peace comes from within, no one else can give you that.  Even though, I may question myself like “dang what made them do that to me” or “what did I do to deserve that from them”. Nothing has brought me peace more than being genuine and knowing that it was not me. See, what we fail to realize is that everyone is raised differently and on different morals. What is dead wrong to me, may have been okay in their household. And that’s totally up to...

Reciprocating the love

 This week is about giving... to your significant other 🙂. I wanted to write this blog in reflection of myself just so you guys can connect and possibly see where you may be slacking. One thing I've learned about myself in my current relationship is that I think I'm perfect and I'm not. See, it is so easy for me to pick out each flaw in my significant other but I rarely see my own. I am a big giver and I put my all into my relationship, so much that I may think is important that I often fail to cater to his love language. The simplest example I can refer to is this... so in the mornings, my boyfriend takes our daughter to school the begins his day. For the many years that we have bee together, he has always texted me "good Morning" after about an hour or so of being gone. He always texts throughout the day to make sure I am okay and I don't need anything. Of course, after 4 years, I'm used to this text. I don't think much of it but he recently express...

New Year, new who?

Back again ladiesssss! This week I'm giving a few tips on how to transition into the new year smoothly. We all may have our own New Years rituals like eating collard greens for money and black-eyed peas for luck. But this year? We are going to put in some foot work behind those rituals. A few things I like to do before the new year approaches are deep clean my home, stock up on all house goods and make a list of my personal, business and family goals for the year. Today is the 29th of December and I am proud to say I have completed about 85% of this list! Deep cleaning consists of going through clothes, cleaning the carpets, mopping, wiping down all surfaces, organizing. Like, literally everything that you have been putting off for months NEEDS to be done. I love keeping my home stocked because it saves me so much time in the long run. I made one trip to Sam's for tissue, paper towels, detergent, fabric softener. I bought everything down to my candle lighters lol & I spent ...

Mom Like Habits

  Hi ladies! Welcome back to week 3 of the Mama Rose blog! This weeks topic was inspired by my sister. She asked me to do a blog about habits that I have picked up since being a mom. I have a few but #1 is drinking  🤣 . And you can take this how you want, I know for a fact that I am not a drunk. Nor do I spend money that I don’t have on drinking. But anyway, I like to drink in the evenings just as an escape from the many responsibilities that I have daily. Many of you know that Crown Royal Apple is my top FAV! But I also will drink tequila, love a good cognac & recently I’ve tried Jack Daniels honey which is a hit as well. #2 is eating good. Before having my kid, I would be content with having a simple sandwich for dinner. But not anymore! I work hard, I play all my roles to the T, the least I deserve is a decent meal before bed. Even if I have to make that meal myself, I will not go to bed hungry or dissatisfied. #3 is seeing the value in money. Have y’all ever seen that...
