Mommy Moments

Mommy Moments are quick thoughts and inspirations that touch on different topics that are written to encourage a fellow Mommy.

Allow God To Have The Final Say So.

February 7th, 2024

Yesterday was DJ’s one year follow up appointment for his eye surgery. The doctor did the exam and she said everything looked good, but he would need to continue to wear his glasses. Then she mentioned that he may need another eye surgery when he gets older, but the chances may be slim. My mommy mind began to race. Why would he possibly need another surgery? Am I doing the right thing? All the negative thoughts began to fill my head as the doctor was talking. When I left out the room, I was happy that things were good now, but worried about the future. I had to immediately stop my negative thoughts and remind myself who was in control. God. He has the final say of what will happen in the future and I will put my faith and my son in His hands and not worry about what I can’t control.

If life has you at a point where you are unsure of what’s to come, remind yourself that God’s got you and wants the best for you and your baby. No matter what the doctor’s report is, stand strong in your faith and allow God to have the final say so.

Nap Notes is now Mommy Moments.

When I started the blog, I would write notes during my kids nap times, and I named it, “Nap Notes”, but time has passed and they are no longer taking naps. Lol. I still want to write to encourage you, so I am renaming this part of the blog, “Mommy Moments”. Hope you enjoy!! ❤️

Don’t Be Afraid To Touch

January 3rd, 2020

My son DJ is sleep as I am writing this nap note. While he is sleep, he is reaching out to touch me. He is reaching to feel me. When I pull my arm away, he begins to squirm. When I put my arm back and he can feel me again, the cutest little exhale comes out of his little nose and he is peacefully back to sleep. This is comforting for him, and just like babies, we need comfort too. So whoever calms you down, don’t be afraid to reach out and get comfort in the midst of your busy world. Today take a moment to touch and be comforted so you can relax too!! Lord knows we need it.

Leave a comment below and tell me who (or what) is your comfort zone that you reach out to and connect with to relax.

Today’s Nap Note session was crazy. I had to tell the kids over and over again to lay down, be quiet, stop and etc…you guys know how it goes. DJ was flipping off the bed, kicking, rolling and thinking he was a ninja. He would ball his fists and say, “wanna fight?” No boy, I don’t want to fight, I want you to go to sleep. What is wrong with you…lay down. Daniya speaks up and informs me, “Mommy, DJ is crazy because when you went to the bathroom, he drank some of your coffee!” Well that explains it all. 😆😆 He won’t be napping at this moment, which will delay my nap notes. So today, my nap note turned into a bed note. Lol. Things don’t always go as planned and that is okay. Take a deep breath and allow yourself to adjust and remember just because it didn’t happen at that moment, doesn’t mean that it won’t happen at all. 💕

My Nap Note today was just that simple. As soon as I sat down to write, this is exactly what I heard. “Be still and know that I am God.” As moms and women, we have so much on our plate, but sometimes we have to sit back and remember who is in control. We cannot control it all, but we must remember who can….GOD. 💕

Unplug To Be Able To Recharge

January 7th, 2020

Today’s Nap Note was peaceful, not like the other day when DJ thought he was a ninja. My kids actually laid down and took a good nap today. (Thank God!! 😆) So during this peaceful time, I worked on my website. Guys, I am not really tech savvy, so at times, this process has been a struggle. Today was one of those days. I had to just take a deep breath, say a prayer and back away. I had to disconnect. Remember, it is okay to unplug in order to recharge. No matter what your focus is..if you are overwhelmed…take a break and then come back later. You cannot be productive if you are unproductive.😉💕

Cherish Each Moment

January 16th, 2020

During this Nap Note, I watch my children sleep and I sit back and reflect. I look forward to the peace and quiet when they finally take a nap. When they fall asleep, I do my best to enjoy every minute. As I stare at their little sweet faces, I realize how fast time has passed. As parents, we are so busy and things can get overwhelming, but it’s good to remember how blessed we are to be able to watch our little ones grow. So be grateful for every minute and embrace every moment, because our little people, won’t be little for much longer. 💕

The Closer You Get, The Clearer Things Get

February 26th, 2020

I took a plane ride last week and God revealed something that was so cool to me. While flying and looking out the window, I admired the beauty of the land, as I got higher, I admired the beauty of the clouds and as I got even higher things became so clear, peaceful and serene, that all I could say was WOW. God told me this represents your life. Things are good, but the closer you get to ME, the better. Visions get prettier, goals get clearer and you see an even more beautiful outlook on life because of your closeness to ME.
We all want a clear path in life. We want to know where we are going. Some of us may know already, but for those of us still trying to figure it out and get there, Let God be your pilot…our destination will be way better than we could have ever imagined. Let God blow your mind!!!💕💕

Batman and Robin: My Perfect Duo

March 15th, 2020

Watching these two together just warms my heart. I always dreamed of having a son. I wanted him to play sports, be a momma’s boy and dress super fly. That’s pretty much as far as my thoughts went for dreaming of a son. I never could have imagined how adorable his adoration for his dad would be. These two are inseparable and I love watching them together. He walks like him, has his same temperament and does everything his dad does. The cutest little mini me ever. I am so grateful to have an excellent role model for my son. Moms make great impacts on their sons, but a dad’s impact is everything. So moms if your son has a positive male role model in their life, make sure you appreciate that and let them know how thankful you are. 💕💕
