" We need money to survive.. It either makes us or break us.. you decided how yours will make a difference in the lives of the ones you LOVE"...


I absolutely, positively LOVE my children( my bonus girls too). The circumstances on how they became mine does not change how I feel and the depths and measures I'd go through to protect them. There's an unexplainable LOVE & CONNECTION that comes along with the term Motherhood.


Last week was my daughter's spring break. Myself along with 2 other mommy friends and their girls, packed up the most comfortable van ever and headed to Disney World. Ahhh, Disney the place where dreams are made and Magic comes true.

As Thursday approached, I carried a hidden excitement in my heart... Here I am, 33 years old experiencing DISNEY with my own daughter and son( granted he may not physically remember it, but ohhhhh do I have pictures for DAYS....)for the 1st time. Growing up, my mom did alot of things with my brothers and I but it was 4 of us and only 1 her. But she made it work with what she had. If nothing else, our home was full of love and magic. The love and magic wasn't always in the money spent but it was what we did collectively as a family that lasted and mattered the most.

But, on this 5th day in April I stood in front of Walt Disney World with my 2 children ready to make magic of our own. There's a different kind of joy you experience being a parent. The pain from labor, the bad days, disappointing days, days where you have no answers cannot compare to Motherhood and the magic it posses within itself.

We caught the ferry ride over and in a matter of minutes, we walked the grounds together where Mr. Walt & Mickey Mouse changed the course of Family Vacations. It was so overwhelming and exciting all in one. My daughter just didn't know what to do!! Adorned in her Princess Tiana dress, hand in hand we walked through out the Magical Kingdom.

We were both in our own slice of Heaven. HOWEVER, I'm slowly noticing we have different levels of excitement!!! I'm Extra and she's more laid back!! LOL


As the darkness began to overtake the sky, we were apart of the Electrical Parade and we then booked it over to the firework display on the Castle. As Jimminey Crickett told his story, I stood and observed the families all surrounding the castle. Over 10,000+ people all standing experiencing the greatest place on Earth. Where dreams and magic are made. If we follow the dream in our hearts, there's no way we cannot become who WE aspire to be in life.

At the end of the spectacular firework display, there was a woman standing near me who was crying. It's funny, because we're you're in tune with life you tend to pick up on people's feelings. We embraced, not because we were sad but because we both knew what the other was feeling. She did not speak English but I understood she was filled with joy and happiness.

I looked at my daughter who was also full of tears and I embraced her. She then said, "Thank-You mommy for making this happen"... And my own well began to flow. It's hard being a parent and not always feeling that it's appreciated. But in that moment of "magic", I felt and understood everything my daughter expressed through her tears. Together, the three of us shared in a Magical Moment. While Matthew Ashton may not understand, it would NOT have been complete without him being there.

To my readers, parenting is hard. And although we may not always have what we feel we need to survive, if we can stop for a moment and embrace all that we've been blessed with as parents/families, we will realize Dreams can and DO Come True~
