It's crazy, one day you wake up and see things in a new light. I am powerless to it, I know what I have to do for my life and my children. 1 month I had my beautiful baby girl Boston Trinity Everett, 21 months ago I gave birth to my beautiful son Easton James Everett. These children have shaped my life, my heart, and mind. Being a mother is what I was meant to do, it's my purpose! I was gifted with lots of talents and some will even tell you I was gifted with physical beauty.. I have always loved sports, modeling, singing, writing music, running track, lifting weights, pretty much anything physical... I have never loved anything more than being a mother, I have never had this much passion about anything and I never will.
My point I am trying to make is Facebook.. Facebook has shaped and molded the way I see things and do things. I always feel the need to update what is going on in my life before I play with my son in the morning. I always feel like if I don't then our family and friends will miss out on the important information. Watching my son sit and beg for my attention as I sit and update a status that really didn't need to be written in the first place was a slap in the face. Facebook for some people can be used for good, but it was doing only bad for me. I got too caught up in pleasing everyone else, too caught up in the comments people would leave. Almost like what they thought mattered more than the act itself... This blog has always given me a feeling of accomplishment and I should have never stopped blogging, I should have deleted my Facebook from the beginning.
Boston is so beautiful, she has this presence about her that is undeniably pleasant. She is so happy and so content being part of our little family. She kind of freaks me out a little because I forget how young she is, she is only 1 month old. She tries to stand on our lap, if we let her she can stand like she has been doing it for months, she has been doing this since she was a week old. She has no issues with strength at all, very strong little girl, but I wouldn't expect anything other than that. Easton was very strong also, I remember feeling the same way about him. I do think she will crawl and walk before Easton did because of the determination I see in her. It's just amazing to look at both of my children and see this unshakable strength and love. We couldn't be any more proud of our children there is just no way possible.
Easton is the BEASTON, he has personality through the roof and is such a big and strong boy. He amazes us daily, we look at him and see someone special. We know this kid is going to grow up to be someone who will make us proud, not sure if we could be anymore proud than we already are... He is a tough little bruiser, but also so soft and gentle with baby sister, he loves her. I feel so bad for any guy who tries to mess with her when they are older, it's no secret that he is going to be a well built guy. He is already so protective of mommy and sister, I can't lie, I am excited to see him stand up for her the first time. He is our first born, the one who brought this amazing happiness and new responsibility in our lives. I do not love him more, but I love him in a whole different way. How did we get so blessed?
I always find it funny when people without children watch the way I am with my kids, how much I talk about them or how proud I am. They never understand until they have their own, then I see the same behavior in them. I just smile and continue being me and the mother I am. If being an OVERLY proud mother who will never hesitate to voice that I had the biggest and most handsome boy and the most beautiful girl is the worst thing people can say about me, then bring it! I know mothers who are constantly leaving their children to go drink, drinking around their children, doing drugs in the other room, bringing strange men around their children, emotionally abusing their children, cannot handle their children, let their children run their home, and mothers/parents who just don't care at all. If saying that I am OVERLY proud of my children is the worst thing people can say, I must be doing a darn good job!
I tolerate people that I have to tolerate, but I am not afraid to voice what I need to. That's why I find it funny how certain people put on a mask around me and tip toe when they are around me. I would respect people much more if they were out spoken and had enough confidence to confront any conflict with an iron fist and smash the issue, but instead they gossip and this is another reason why I am deleting my Facebook. Facebook is toxic, not a better way to say it so there it is, it's toxic. People who cannot appreciate a strong hand, mind, and an honest person who wont hesitate to speak the truth need counseling. Conflict is a part of life, in the work place, in your home, with friend, face it, IT IS inevitable. There are healthy ways of dealing with conflict, but unfortunately common sense is NOT so common. This blog will help me to not have to use a filter, what you read is what you get. This is me, a bit forward at times, but you better believe I am not sugar coating anything and for that I hope you will appreciate me instead of judge.
I am a Taurus, I see red, I spit fire, I harshly judge myself, I am sometimes too accepting of others, I love fiercely, I am brutally honest, I am in charge, I take responsibility for my life, I am strong, I WILL surprise you with EVERY challenge you give me, I have been through hell and back, I am choosing to go to heaven, I am daughter of God, I am a RAGING momma bear (please don't take that lightly), I am head strong, I am constantly learning, constantly making mistakes, I am one of the best allies you will ever have if you can look past my flaws, I am the worst enemy you will ever have if you mess with my family ESPECIALLY my children. For those of you reading this who do not know this side of me, now you do. For the most part I will be blogging about my children, husband, our adventures as a family, but occasionally you will read a post of me venting, ranting, raging... It's just who I am, but I can promise you it will be done with class, no swearing or talking fowl.
Please keep in touch with us through here, it means a lot to us that you will venture off of Facebook to keep up on how we are doing. I will most likely post 2-3 times a week. We love you and wish all of you mothers a WONDERFUL Mothers Day. You deserve a great day, a break, a back rub, to wake up to a clean house, a day out just for you. I hope you get spoiled because moms, lets face it, your the BEST.
These pictures are from our day at the park yesterday, everyday is a photo shoot and when my kids get older and I want to remember all the tiny moments I am going to glad it was!!
Don't forget to STAY BEAUTIFUL...
