Ever since I got my first apartment, I’ve made it a point to always have a candle lit somewhere in the house. At first it was for the scent because candles can fill any room with a great aroma. Also, sitting in the dark with only a candle going is so calming. Even the smallest... Continue Reading →
Body Betrayals and Inflation
Like most normal people right now, my little familia is feeling the hit of inflation more than usual. I used to love going grocery shopping. Now it’s kind of painful (each trip is at least $100). The cost of stuff has gone up so much these past few months. We've stopped eating out as much... Continue Reading →
I Purple You
A couple of weeks ago, Aria and I got to go watch BTS’s Yet To Come concert that showed in theaters all over. A little back story first. Last year BTS did a similar presentation in theaters, but Aria ended up being on spring break and went out of town at that time. I didn’t... Continue Reading →
Purple & Black
You know all those things people say: All in God's timing God's plan is perfect Things happen for a reason What's meant for you, no one can take from you ... and the list goes on. The last 24 hours have definitely shown me all that. It's been a giant revelation of the universe saying,... Continue Reading →
A Good Day In A Good City
Every Saturday Aria has basketball practice or a game, so that takes up most of our morning. But last Saturday was a very busy day for these Texas Alexanders. Besides our morning basketball routine, Texas Tech Athletics held a kid's sports clinic at their basketball complex. It was held in celebration of National Girls &... Continue Reading →

Fabulous
On my way to the breakroom to fill up my water cup, I passed by a coworker waiting for the elevator: Me: Good morning! Him: Good morning! How are you doing today? Me: I'm doing good. How about you? Him: I'm doing fabulous, but not as fabulous as you. You've got the fabulous outfit. You're... Continue Reading →
Judgy Much?
There are times when I tell people, "You should do this," "You need this in your life," "I did this and my life totally changed." Am I judging? No. Hell, I'm total Hot Mess Express over here. Don't forget that. I don't say things because I think I'm better than a person or I've got... Continue Reading →
Me, Mine, And Ours
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation. I started 2022 just trying to keep my head above the water and it ended up being a year of survival. Seriously,... Continue Reading →
That’s A Wrap!
It seems as Miss Aria is getting older, she’s getting busier. Which in turn means Vince and I get busier. We have to block out time to drive her places and of course, the time she will be at whatever activity. This semester has taken a whole new turn for my Little Precious. Her school...
