I've been gone for a little while from blogging. Between moving and getting set up with cable and internet it's just been hectic y'all but I'm back and READY!
The Phenom
The Mogul
Just a quick update...things have been absolutely great with me. The kids have been doing well in school and The Phenom had an amazing basketball season. He's moving on to track and travel ball so the schedule still remains full. The Mogul has been on chill mode. She's getting into social media (nerves on edge) and creating some new friendships at school. Her next venture is sewing class. Be on the look out for a Talia Loren Louise original soon.
As for me I have been working on creating some signature pieces for The Curvy Momager line. It's so exciting and as soon as I can share more information with you guys I will. So for this Moment In Life Monday things are G-O-O-D!
What have you guys been up to? You know I love hearing your stories. Oh before I forget I had a guest appearance on the Talk 2 Q Show last night and if you missed it you can listen by clicking on the player below. Thanks so much Q, it's always bunches of laughs and good times when I'm on the show. Looking forward to chatting again soon and keeping my status as the most visited guest. :).
Enjoy!

As you all know I've been doing a bit of reading lately and I picked up an old book and dusted it off, exactly as i am by Shaun Robinson. It's a collection of short stories from well known women about what it takes to believe in yourself.
The story by Gabrielle Union caught my attention. She stressed that as a child she grew up and her parents always were pushing her to be better than she was. A straight A student was being pushed to get A pluses and questioned as to why she missed one question on a test. These accusations only made her feel more insecure around her peers that were seriously excelling. These feelings of course affected her self esteem causing her to question herself while growing up.
After reading this story I really saw myself in her parents. I can recall telling The Phenom, yeah you made that three pointer but if you'd made that free throw. Or mentioning to The Mogul, well you know if you'd started on that project last week you probably would have gotten an A. Ahh parenting, there is no manual. Yes, of course I want them to always be the best in what they do but dang when they are trying their hardest I might just be kicking them in the gut. Breathe Momager breathe! I mean look how Gabby turned out but reading her journey made me think about some of my parenting skills. Maybe a little bit of listening and less judgement might be a better approach. I would hate for these lil people to regret me one day. It's such a balancing act but raising these well-rounded kids that are doing great and if I don't say it enough I'm proud of you guys and you're doing amazing and accomplishing wonderful things.
Maybe we should take a minute and tell our kids just how amazing they are!
