Happy anniversary!!

It is a blessing to have this man at my side for the 1st year of our marriage. Almost 3 years together and I honestly can't believe how much I love you. I hope we grow stronger every day from today to forever. 

Vlogging

I would like to say, vlogging seems like fun, but everyone is doing it!

I have always wanted to know how to become a vlogger. If I had a chance to be a vlogger what would I talk about?!

My ideas on being a vlogger. 

1) makeup 💅🏼💄 jk there are too many makeup bloggers and I'm not a pro

2) political blogger. Sike. Not happening due to the simple fact that I suck at lying. I always end up smiling or I start to sweat when I lie. 

3) mommy blog- now that I can possibly due but there are so many mommy bloggers that talk about the beautiful mommy life. 

4) food-🍔🍛🍙🍜  I would love to but I'm no pro at cooking but I sure can create a lot of recipes with limited items. 

5) D.I.Y. That's fun but I don't have a lot of ideas due to the fact that my diy projects come from YouTube 

6) talk about life. I can do that all day

7) sing 🎶 hahahhahah. I can't sing unless you guys wish to end up deaf. 

Well I think I will stick to my personal blog since no one reads expect my husband. 

Love one another. Share. Live. And be kind. 

Baltimore

For starters I would like to say that the prayers go to the young man who past away. His name was Freddie Gray, 25, who passed away while in police custody. May he Rest in peace and my condolences go out to his family. 

I sure hope everyone can reach a compromise and a wiser way in protesting the death of Freddie Gray and police brutality. There are better things than rioting and putting many people's lives at risk. Many people are losing there businesses and homes because of the damage being done.  I have always taught to be very open-minded for as long as I can remember. My mother works at a diverse school so to her it is essential for us to be open and loving. Well anyways back to my topic, my point with all of this is the many things can be accomplished peacefully. The main leaders that you can be an example to that is Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and even Jesus Christ. (Now regardless if you believe in Jesus or not he was a peaceful activists) all peaceful activists. I am not saying they were perfect but they are always rebellious ones that like to start problems. I understand police brutality is a issue nation wide but rioting doesn't solve anything. In fact it's just starting more problems that didn't exist in the first place. Now fact is that there were over 1,000 reported cases of police brutality cases. So you maybe with seeing how many cases are surrounding the African American community? 262. Now who has the most brutality dead case? Caucasians have the highest body count of 467. 

I don't understand the point in all of this violence. Why can't everyone be more peaceful? Protest in silence for Gary death. Start an organization. Fundraise money for the family. 

Well I hope you have a nice day!

Be happy. Be civil. Be kind. Love one another.   

therefore.

Becoming a women is one thing in life, now becoming a mother is a whole different ball game... For instance I have become a mom before the legal drinking age in the in the US. I had my son at 20 and boy I promise it happened to be a terrible horrible mistake that changed my life's perspective on everything. Well for all those that don't know me  I'll give you the 4-11.

I grew up in a happy home. I didn't no my family was poor, that my mom had struggles and my dad had issues. I thought everyone's dad drank as much as mine. I always thought it was normal to have a hard working mom who happened to be over protective. I grew up in silver spring, MD (very close to Washington DC, in fact we were so close we went to church every Sunday. A 25 minute drive there and a 25 minute drive back) the house I grew up in had 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 8 kids, and 6 adults. Let me explain who is who. Upstairs we have my aunt Nelis, uncle David and there 5 kids, 3 boys David, Dennis, and Hector, with 2 daughters Delmy and Laura. Downstairs there was my two uncle Edgar and Uncle Mauricio in one bedroom and my parents and my 2 younger sisters, Alba and Alejandra. Anyways my point being my life was great growing up.  I didn't get presents from Santa or an Easter basket from the Easter bunny but I did have 2 parents that tired hard enough. Now I am grown up with my husband and in our apartment in happy land (my city will not be disclosed for all purposes.) I am still in school and during the day I watch my little angel and study while my husband works. Many may think it is easy being a house wife but truth is, it's hard. You have a child that needs your full undivided attention, the kit hen is crying for some cleaning, the bathroom needs to look clean, the bedroom has clothes on the floor, the bed must be made, don't forget to disinfectant all surfaces because children touch everything. That's is not even close as to what it is really like. 

Well my point with it, is that being a stay at home mom and student at night is a challenge. I am here not to give help because I'm learning, but as I'm learning maybe I can help. Huge contradiction! 

Be peaceful. Happy. Love life and your children. Don't forget your spouse!

7 WEEKS !!

My son is 7 weeks
rolling over during tummy time
favorite words agoooo, ooooo
his lips are sensitive
his cheeks turn glossy pink
his finger are delicious
scratch that, he likes his whole fist
he loves to stare
 but most of all he loves to kick,
he thinks he can crawl
he wants to go somewhere
but Lord knows where

Mrs. Yates

OVER A YEAR!!

Shame on me for taking a break for a year. So much has happened.

So let's see......

•  I am married (Mrs. Yates)
• We're expecting our first child (Baby Boy, July 2014)
• We have our own place (woooah independence)
• I am about to start school again

A lot has happened in a year, I've grown and changed. I see things differently. I cannot and will not put myself before others. I have a husband to think about and a baby; hopefully very soon when our son is born.
