Flawless

Hi Ladies,

Do you know that you are FLAWLESS?
Once in a while I like to get dressed up and add a extra umph to my step,
Don't forget to treat yourself once in a while. Sometimes we have a tendency to worry so much about bills and the babies that we forget about ourselves. Here is a tip that we can start doing at least twice a month. Every time you get paid try to spend at least 10+ dollars on yourself. Anything whether its new shirt or a new pair of shoes. Do it for you. However, The only rule is you can't use the money on food. It has to be something materialist, something that you can always see. Something that will always remind you that you did something nice for yourself!

Question: How often do you treat yourself?

You are loved,

Arielle

" I miss my daddy"

Today, My heart sank. I believe for the first time my daughter expressed her true feeling about her awareness that daddy does not live with us. I was putting her to bed as normal, kissed her goodnight when about 10 minutes in to a silence room. My daughter started to scream and then cry. I said "Kori whats wrong?" No answer I then said it again "Kori are you okay, whats wrong honey" My three year old then screams " I miss my daddy" Woooh...I did not know what to say..in complete shock I said "Kori what did you say?" still crying "I miss my daddy" I always feel guilty that I am no longer with the man that I had a child with and I really have no one to take his place to be a father figure. However, no one can take his place. He is her father. There are time I blame myself about it, actually still do, however I have to learn to forgive myself an there was nothing I did wrong. I tried to keep it together but you need two people who want a relationship not one. So I went to my daughters bed side and wiped her tears and said would you like to call daddy? "yes mommy I want to call daddy" Kori said. So, we called him however, believing he was at work he did not answer the phone. So, I asked Kori..do you want to call someone else? She then said a name of one of my male friends. However, he did not answer the phone. So, I asked Kori again "Kori would you like to call someone else?" "No" as she put her head down. I can tell she was disappointed. So I said Kori lets call on our father god! We can pray and that is what she did! We prayed. I told her, sometimes when you don't know who to call on , call on Jesus and God and she said "Okay mommy"

So My encouragement is to teach your children to rely on God! We prayed together, and we will pray together every night going forward. I want her to understand that God is our father who never lets us down.

Question for you ladies: What do you do when your child ask "Mommy where is my daddy" What can you say to each other for encouragement? Looking forward to hearing from you!

You are loved!

Exercise

Exercise! There you have it! That is my secret. It was short weeks ago that I was just so fatigue. I could not for the life of me do anything! I suffered body aches, headaches and the hardest depression. I was and still fight with the struggle of doing this parenting thing by myself. It is not easy. I get angry. How is it that the man who helped create this child get to live his life while I am stuck!? He gets to get up in the morning and just put on his clothes and just go to work!? That is not fair! Not at all! I will and still do on a bad day. Dwell on that tactic. So after praying to God to just give me some help, I was invited to start an exercises class. I was scared and nervous at first however, I was and still am so desperate to get a break! And it has helped me a ton! I have not had any anxiety since I started working out and eating right! It has been a big help! Ladies I encourage you tomorrow to drink only water and eat healthy foods , no candy, chocolate or white breads. Have healthy meals all day. Remember you are a CHAMPION!!

It's All Just Way Too MUCH!!!

Urgh. You ever just feel that way?  You had a long day. You got up early and your probably going to bed a  late!
If you are like me, you worked all day, picked your kids up, Cook dinner, wash up dishes, get homework done ( the kids, not yours of course lol)
Give baths, wash hair, put clothes out for tomorrow and give kisses good night. Sometimes I feel like I am always in a race. There is just so much to do in one day. I know it can get very frustrating,

 However, I have found a method that seems to be working well for me.
Tune it tomorrow for my secrets to stress release!

Question for you ladies..Do you ever feel just a little overwhelmed? If so, What do you do to calm yourself? Lets talk about it! From one Young Mom to Another!

Introduction

Hi Ladies,

My name is Arielle. I have been wanting to start a blog for sometime now. Its been about three years of me back and forth trying to figure out what I want to do. First It was cooking then baby toys, then   young woman website and now I am here. I am literally "just jumping out on a ledge"  I am going to take this blog in the best direction that I can. Please also know that I am not the best writer, grammar has never been my strong suit. So, I do apologize for that in advance. Do not hesitate to email me any corrections with spelling or grammar. I am open for correction! lol

There maybe days I am just not sure what I am doing, But I will do my best to be consistent. I am at the time of my life where I notice that I need to  work on my consistency. So, here it goes. Blog 1.

The Title of this blog is "From one young mother to another" So, for this page, my audience is directed towards mothers who are teens or in there early 20s or 30s. However, My hope is it to reach to anyone that would enjoy it.

So, I am currently 22. Every time I speak that number out loud I don't really believe it my self! Seems like I have had such an experience life, that I feel much older than I am. However, that's how God made me, and I am sure it is for his reasons. I have a beautiful and ambitious 3 year old little girl. I am a single mother still in college, Work a full time career and manage a home. Being young and having so many responsibilities can be very challenging. I would say because the work load of your daily life is not what the typical life is like in your early 20s. Most woman our age is still in college, in a dorm room studying for a final, working part time, no kids, may not have their own apartment just yet, maybe graduating maybe just getting a great internship. There are so many independent things that happen when your in your early 20s that a young mom maybe not be able to do because here direction is towards her baby. 

Instead woman with children in their 20s. Are waking up if your lucky at 6:00 a.m, feeding the baby, measuring bottles, washing bottles ( oh I do not miss that one) Planning what to eat for the rest of the day, making grocery list, trying to find things on sale, in the paper, getting the baby ready to do something because wants that baby is fed and clean there needs to be some interaction. ( At this point its probably 6:40 a.m) Getting your self dressed, if there are any clean clothes for yourself, because all you have been doing is thinking about baby lol. Also just thinking about your future, where will you live? what job can you get to support if your on your own? Its a lot. I know. This is why I am here at this moment. I want to talk about it! I want to support you, I want you to support me. Wow. So much to lay out on the table. So many topics!

What I would hope to get from this blog is a fan base that are supporting each other. I want a place that young mothers can come to vent, pray, encourage and share ideas. I would love to even have meet and greets!  I want this to be a safe environment where we can talk, cry, pray, encourage, heal, learn, grow and most importantly give the best lives we can for our children :)

Thank you, Thank you Thank you for taking your precious time to read this first introduction. I am so excited about it, I hope you are. Please, Please, Please email me if you have any questions, ideas, anything. ! If you need prayer, I can pray for you, please pray for me! I will talk to you beautiful strong ladies tomorrow. Stay blessed, Stay encouraged, Stay Strong. You are Loved!

-Arielle :)
