Mom Victories

 As a mom we always have many tasks to complete.  Some are big some are small.  Some are related to house chores, work, family, etc.  We have a to due list of never ending things.  But what do we do when we finish something that has taken us a while to finish or we usually see no end to.  We start thinking of why it took us so long to acomplish?  How we will never let it happen again! Then we start a guilt trip, a very unnecessary guilt trip over the smallest things.  Not only moms do it, women do it.  But as a mom  I feel like we do it a lot because we have the pressure of perfection.  We want to be the best employees, best moms, best wives, on top of our games.  With out taking actual time to our selves and giving ourselves credit.  We are freaking warriors.  All the things we accomplish and all we do is complain of how it could of been done better or faster?  We need to do better.  I have noticed I used to do this a lot.  I am starting to take note of it and change the way I think.  My small victory for today is laundry.  I have finished all the laundry in the laundry room.  Finally not behind on clothes.  I was starting to think on how did I ever get so behind?  How did I let it get like that?  But then I had to stop myself.  I knew it was victory it was something I actually worked for a week and a half.  I went to the pantry and celebrated with some chocolate.  It is something I usually do not do.  But a small step to change.  Why am I sharing this with you guys... Well because as I talk with friends and other women I notice that as women we need to encourage and help one another.  It took me a while to see the change that I needed to make to be a better person and happier person. The little things we do as women in our life will help us in the future, not just ours but the people around us.  So share with me what has been your victory this week?

Pho Feel'n Asian

Pho Feel'n Asian has opened its doors in Gastonia NC.  If you want to try great pho and some authentic Asian cuisine give this local restaurant a try.  The pho had amazing flavor and variety.  My husband had the meat, I tried the tofu.  Ones I started eating it there was no way I could stop, even after I was full.  I also tried their iced coffee and it was one of the best coffee's I have had in the Gastonia area.  On top of their great food, the staff was very friendly and kind.  I went with my three children (7, 6 and 4 year old.)  They were very patient, friendly and helpful with the kids.  They don't have a kids menu but many of the Gastonia restaurants don't seem to have one. Yet it is family friendly and from a price point is also very affordable.  I do recommend it, whether you have tried pho before or not.  Go support a family owned local business and see the community around you grow!

Thursday Transformation

Thursday I will try to dedicate it to my fashion post.  As a mom I have struggled with my fashion senses.  Before my kids I had an awesome fashion knowledge.  I used to be in the fashion/ modeling world (which I miss so much!!!.) At some point of my life I used to get paid to dress people and give fashion advice.  If you see me now with my kids and I told you that you would be like, "yeah right..?lol."  But we all change after having kids, some of us change more than the others.  For the ones like me, that lost completely themselves and are trying to find themselves again after having kids.  I hope this helps.  For the ones that did not struggle, let me congratulate you and say HELP US!!!!!!!! lol Please, give us some pointers on what to do. Nice and kindly give some advice,  And for the ones that are okay with leggings and t-shirts for the rest of your life.  We love your confidence and there is nothing wrong with that.  You go gir...

MTHFR Mutation and me!

MTHFR is a DNA mutation that is not commonly checked on a regular check up or regular blood work.  But thankfully this year (2018) thanks to my new and wonderful Neurologist she suggested I saw a Hematologist.  He ran 18 tubes of blood and multiple test I had never had done before.  There I was told it seemed like I had a mutation on MTHFR.  But requested for all the lab work to be done again to make sure it was correct and come back in a month.  The labs take about 3 weeks to be processed.  At at that point I found some relief but also fear.  I had no idea what I was dealing with I got a packed of information with the title:   Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes Mutation. The title it self freaked me out!!  But I did as much research as I could in that month.  It seems as if this condition was just discovered in 2006. So there is no cure for it, not a lot of information either but the Doctors are just treating the symptom...
