How to Live a Happy Life

Wouldn’t that be nice to have a rule book on life, and how to remain happy all the time? Would you believe me if I tell you there is?

(B) (I) (B) (L) (E)

Let me explain...

Looking at the dictionaries definition of happy:

Being happy was defined as pleasure and contentment. Fortunate and convenient were also listed under the definition. If we try and seek being happy on our own we will always find disappointment. Living a life of contentment, knowing life is fortunate and a precious gift in itself, you can be happy. If you see fortunate as only monetarily prosperous , then your priorities on wealth defines happiness to you. Unfortunately, there are endless stories of wealthy people killing themselves. Money will not make you happy. Fame will not make you happy. Being grateful for everything puts your guard down, leaves out all expectations that might lead to disappointment, and self pleasure becomes less of a priority.

We can only be CONTENT, with God. When I’m reading my word, and having a prayer life (communication) with God on a daily, that’s when Im truly happy. When I fail to do this, I put that pressure of being happy on others. Without God, you truly can’t be happy. You can find temporary happiness with things that bring you joy. But it’s a state, and won’t last long.

Waking up each day, is what makes me happy. Spending time with God and in his word, loving on my husband, kids, and family is what makes me happy. So am I happy everyday of my life? Yes. You can be irritated by your loved ones, you can sometimes wonder how things may go unplanned in your life, and if it was truely God’s will. But being happy, no one can take that away. It’s a conditioned state and shouldn’t be based on ungodly rule. Oh and by the way, a defined word for ungodly is : NOT convenient. Go figure.

Jax turns ONE! Boss Baby Theme

I can’t believe my son has turned 1 today! 😱 Where does the time go? I remember with my first, time literally stood still. When she turned one, it felt like she was turning four. Time definitely took it’s time with Jaida. One thing I can say is, I’ve been blessed to be a stay at home working mom. I feel like I know my kids so well. I also feel like I raised twins that are two and a half years apart. Jax started his morning off with his first hair cut. It was way overdue. My husband said he did very well and didn’t cry. He was just being super nosey at first wanting to see what was buzzing around his head (the clippers.) Then it was off to the Fresno Chaffe Zoo. We really enjoy going. We don’t go often. I know my kids would get bored with the same thing over and over so we try to go at-least once per year. We really love the Zoorasic addition to the park. You can go on a short half mile trail and see animatronic dinosaur in literally a staged atmosphere but it really feels ...

Fun and SAFE indoor activities for KIDS.

Fubbles- this spill proof container makes it easy for kids to blow bubbles without any worries of spilling. This is a must have for us, since our entire downstairs is tile. I would hate for her to spill and slip. Cocomelon or Farmees- my kids love to sing and dance. You can access these two nursery rhymes and kid friendly music free on youtube, itunes, and even Alexa. Flash cards- shapes, numbers, letters, and objects are fun and also very educational for little ones. If they don’t seem interested, just add some music and make up a song while having them guess whats on the card. Besides the obvious toys, having a box of dress up clothes is always fun, especially for little girls. I passed my dress up clothes down to my daughter, so she will be able to enjoy: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Princess Jasmine, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and many more. Alphabet fun- you can actually put all those fun foam alphabet letters kids use in the bathtub by adding a tiny bit of water into...

Fresno Chaffee Zoo Trip: Mom Group Edition

Being a stay at home mom during the week, and career mom on the weekends, its imperative that you keep a strong social life. 98% of my friends hold full time jobs. During the week, I found myself very lonely. I missed my social life with adults, but also the interaction Jaida and Jaxon gets with other kids was so priceless. Since I had Jaida, I always wanted to start a mom group, but would never put any effort in starting one. Since my absence from social media, my time has been productive and I focused my attention on just that...a social LIFE in person..instead of digitally. With prayer, I jumped right in! I came across some AMAZING moms with the same vision and desire..and we made it happen. We are just one week in, and we have already planned and attended park and zoo dates. I’m so excited to see what the future holds for our little group. The most rewarding is seeing our children having a blast playing with each other. With 2020 being such a crazy year with disco...
