Goodbye 2010...Hello 2011

I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy new year! Let your resolution be your goals and let your goals be attainable. Keep your eye simple and more than good things will come to you.

This year was packed with drama, changes and a few eye openers. I have dreams and goals but I feel that my goals will be reached before my dreams are. I want to live in New York and I am going to make that happen. I want to make things happen for me and my kids, live the life I wanted and to see what could really happen.

most of all, I want to be happy. Inside and out. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and see a smile in my eyes again. For a while, I claimed it was gone, but its deep within me, begging to be released. This year, I have goals to be happy, to be accomplished and to make someone of Erika L. S. and I hope I can get some followers to cheer me on lol.

Once again, please have a SAFE and happy new years. If you are going out, please be careful and remember who you are coming home to. Much love...see you in 2011

New York! New York!

I want to move so badly! I'm the type of person who loves to move and travel. I always wanted to travel: Greece, Rome, Paris, london...yet I had two kids and that went out of the drain.

Right now, I am waiting to hear from a London and New York hotel for jobs. Both are looking for an event specialist and a concerige person. No, I have know clue about New York or London, but I am a quick learner and would love the opportunities to grow. My kids are young enough to be able to move around before school and I can get somewhere comfortable and settle.

Thats one thing I have trouble with...settling. Who can do it? It amazes me that people stay in jobs for years...like 15+. I know most do it because they just do it and I wish that while I was younger my mom would've stayed in one spot, that way I wouldnt want to go any where.

Right now, I am in Colorado and have an urge, a desire to MOVE. I've always wanted to move to New York, since I was 16 years old and then again when I was 18 for NYU. When Sex and The City came to HBO, I got cable just to watch that show.

New York background, the vendors, the lights, the sounds and the action...even the people excited me. I want to move somewhere exciting...I believe thats it! Maybe if I move when I get somewhere like New York or London, the excitement of the city, the rumbling of the city around me, the joy of finding something new everyday...will make me want to settle.

I am a BIG city girl...not this Colorado little city girl. So, my plans are to visit New York in March for my birthday, a gift to me, and then start saving some money for the BIG move...either to New York or London

To blog or not to blog! Twins Tuesday

I wrote this long, very inspirational blog post and my phone deleted it. So, I'm just going to write quickly.

Today was long, fun yet tiring. My twins are reaching into terrible twos and they just turned one. They were just all over the place today and so busy!! They looked like little Skittles when i got them dried up...had my daughter in a sunshine yellow towel and my son in a lime green one. As they walked around, I couldnt help but laugh.

As I put them to sleep and watch over them, I know 2011 with be very great for us. I want to make some changes that allow me to be the greatest for my kids and be great for me. I want to be a stay at home mom...so its best to really work on my PartyLite business. My next goal is to be more spiritual and active in my learnings of God. If i give him the power to run my life, things will be ok and better than ever.

I want the best for my kids, but most importantly, I want them to be happy and know they are loved. My goals are simply and i plan on making them happen.

What are your goals, focuses, dreams and wants? I'd love to hear (read) about them.

Chuck E Cheese

Me, the twins, grandma and grandpa went to Chuck E Cheese on the day before we were leaving for Colorado Springs, Co. Karen (grandma) has been trying to get them there for months and I thought this would mean a lot for her. We arrived early for the last show, ordered a pizza and drinks and Jazmen started playing in the Toddler Section, enjoying everything she could. I thought that was the funniest thing. Not only is she a DIVA in their house, but she runs CEC too.

Jazmen enjoyed it all and had so much fun. Zeke-man looked like he could care less but once Spencer (grandpa) put him on the slide, it was so much fun then. He seemed to light on up. He played on the slide with grandpa mostly.

Right before we left, I put Jazz and Zeke in the toy car and thought of how cute it would be to get a picture of my babies (like I needed to tell myself to get one). I got on one knee and took a picture. It is so awesome!

I hope you all like the picture

What to expect

Over this past year, Ive been debating on a lot of things and one of them has been my writing. I really want to do my blog big time, meaning following my own schedule, finding product reviews and getting followers, people who comment and enjoy my page. Maybe (MAYBE) being picked up by some big hot shot publication! I also would love love to stay at home and work from home. I enjoyed it so much while I was unemployed but this time, I'd like to really work from home. I checked out a few consultant jobs and party things from home and the one I really liked is, Party Lite. YAY!!

So, anyone into candles, I'll be selling those and blogging about them...well, what you expect? LOL...I love candles anyways and this is something I've looked into before and now I really would love to try it and really put my full force into these things.

Ok, I hope to get some followers and blog properly!!

LOL...night ya'll

Sad...

Tonight was just sad. Fighting and arguing with their father, who threatened to "choke me out" and then couldn't even follow through on that. Its sad really, but he wont be in the picture. My sorrow is great but I can see the light at the other end of the tunnel and I know things will be better soon.

We are on a plane tomorrow morning and that come faster! I can't wait to see my real family and friends!

Seriously? For real?

So, I am going to get really serious about blogging and following my own schedule lol...been slacking on things a bit. I have some reviews in the making and more details about our new start to soon follow.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy and safe weekend! We are flying out Friday afternoon!!

blogging it!

Im a happy mama! I want to make my blog more popular, meeting with other moms, reaching out to single moms, letting people know the tricks to living on a budget as a single mother!

Im moving back home to colorado, phoenix has too much memories and not all good. I want to be happy in and out and that means going back to a place I thought i hated. It was how i felt that I hated.

Onward to new and beautiful beginnings! I hope to attract new followers. Tonight its all about getting blog followers!

My Life

So things have gone from hectic to bad to crazy to worse to awesome to sad and now its about to settle on an even track. Im enjoying my twins more, I love how they love to explore, how they try to do things and how big they are getting. I enjoy my life as a mother, a STRONG, single mom and a very good one if I do say so myself.I still have lots of negative things going on and I wish for better, but today was good and life is only going to get better with God's blessings!
