The Beginning of a New Chapter in my Life: Literally!

I've been doing a lot of thinking, almost to the point were I can feel my brain cells dying and slowly disappearing. But it is worth it. Somewhere between, I am busy and I don't have time to do anything to I need to spend sometime with my inner self, it clicked. I am writing a book, well more like a blog. And then the title came clear in my mind: Chronicles of a New Mom: The First Two Years.

As I talk to different moms I realize that I am not alone. That my experiences are similar to other mommies but yet we live in a culture were we are all in our little silos and we don't talk about it. I am going to break that paradigm. This is going to be fun.

So what I'll be doing this weekend? Writing, writing, writing. Heck who knows, I can become famous, not!!!!!!!!!

My goal is to have other mommies learn about other mommies' experiences in a true fun way, telling it as it is. We'll see how it goes.

Wish me luck!!!

Back on Track

I has been a while since my last post but my life is crazy. No time to post. But isn't the rest of the toddler's moms life's the same way? Sometimes I wonder. I see other moms with 2, 3, 4 kids and I wonder, how the heck they do it? I am struggling with one as it is.

From what I heard, it gets "easier". Now, I use the term "easier" a little lose in here cause I truly don't understand how can it get "easier" when your work double or triple in some cases. Time management will be the right word to use. I have to learn to divide my time in buckets and move from one to another. Need to look for inspiration though.

I decided that the best to get inspired is to look for other moms' opinions and recommendations. I see the beginning of something good. Maybe a book, maybe this blog could serve the purpose for "Chronicle of a New Mom: The First Two Years."

Let it begin.

Peer Pressure

You would think that peer pressure only happens during the teenage years and even into the beginning of adulthood. Not true. This phenomenon very well can start from the moment you come to this earth.

It starts as a way to survive when you are a baby. At that point you have to go with the flow. Then as you grow, your peers become part of your life and by being part of your life, they influence your decisions. So technically everything that you do, you do it in community.

Now why I am being so philosophical about this, well cause I want an iPhone. I posted the question on my FB page if I should get the phone or not and the decision was a unanimous yes. So know the pressure is on and I think I am going to cave in.

I Want an iPhone!

It is so bad to want an iPhone? I mean, I don't "need it", I CAN(maybe) live without it, but it is such a cool gadget. I know I will be hooked and play with it all day long if I get one. I just want to be like those "cool kids" with the latest stuff. But then I think, it is expensive, I can do so much with that money. Urrrgh, decisions, decisions.

This takes me back to when the iPod came out. My husband had to have it so we bought it. Now he barely uses it and of course it is outdated. I am afraid that once we get it, the next generation will appear and boom we will need to upgrade.

As I mom, I struggle with these decisions a lot. I feel selfish wanting such a thing but then I see other people getting it and makes me feel like the "odd ball". Maybe I just suck it up and get it

Welcome to my blog!

This blogspot is dedicated to those toddler's moms who live in Florida. My goal is to share information with other moms who are in the similar situation. I am a working mom of an almost 2 year old son (his birthday is in July) and my time is limited.

I've noticed that is challenging to find places, groups, deals, etc. for moms like me and I know I am not the only one out there. So I figure that this could be a great vehicle where I can vent and share my stories with all of you.

For example, I am planning my son's birthday and I struggle to find a great indoor location. The majority of the places available are either too expensive or simply not for his age and it is frustrating. I have looked, and looked, and looked some more and nothing. My brain is fried. I am running out of ideas and out of time.

Anyway, love to hear your thoughts.
