Being a HOT Mom

First off, before you read this, let me explain.......This is for me as for anyone else. I don't really feel that I need to explain this post, but I do want to share with you ladies out there that just because your a mom and a wife, it doesn't mean we can't be sexy and appealing to our men. These are not all my words, I found some pointers on-line and wanted to share!!

When your husband was just your boyfriend and you were eager to impress him, you spent hours debating what to wear for a date. You simply wanted to look your best and nothing less would do. And when he appreciated the effort and complimented you, it was well worth it.

Many women complain that after settling into married life, their husbands don’t compliment them or they don’t get the same attention they received when they were courting. But did you ever stop and think whether you pay the same attention to detail that you did when you were dating? Women often get caught up with juggling household responsibilities and a career and often, dressing to get their husband's approval doesn’t really figure very high on their list of priorities.

Retaining your allure for your partner and continuing to be attractive to him isn’t only about your physical appearance. It goes beyond that. Read on for ten ways to be more attractive to your husband...

10. Don’t get complacent
It is important not to get too laidback and lounge around all day in pajamas or a nightie have an unkempt look. That doesn’t mean you have to perform household duties looking like a glam doll. Before you get caught up with the chores of the day or sprucing up the house, take some time to freshen up and make yourself feel good. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, don’t greet your husband, when he comes home, with your youngest kid's spit-up decorating your blouse. Take the time to shower and look fresh for him when he comes home to you.

9. Ask for his opinion
When you’re buying an outfit or debating on what to wear, get his take on it. Let him know you value his opinion and would like to wear something that pleases him. Pander to his taste and cater to his little fancies, at least once in a while, and he will reward you with an admiring glance and an approving smile.

8. Maintain yourself
If you can, follow some kind of a fitness regime. It doesn’t have to be rigorous exercise, or if you can’t make the time for it, even the gym. Try and carve out at least 20-30 minutes for a brisk walk that will rejuvenate your senses and keep you in shape. You don’t have to look the way you did when you married him, he won’t mind a little more of you to love, but you can try and ensure you don’t just let yourself go.
If you can’t make the time to exercise, try and maintain a healthy diet and cut back on a few calories. Maintaining yourself physically also contributes to your mental health, sense of self-esteem and even to a more active sex life, which is equally important in a good marriage.

7. Buy something just for him
Occasionally buy a sexy something and let him know you did it with him in mind. It will serve the dual purpose of stimulating his visual (and other) senses, and make him happy knowing you did it just for him.

6. Take care of your appearance
Spend a little time – and money – on taking care of your appearance. We’re not talking cosmetic surgery here. Just a little pampering and beauty treatment. Shape your eyebrows or get a facial, a French manicure or a bikini line wax. Don’t feel guilty for spending on yourself occasionally and that you have to justify it. Feeling good about yourself and having your husband’s full attention on you is reason enough!

5. Make the first move
Don’t always wait for him to initiate the fun bedroom stuff. Tease and tantalize him and make the first move every once in a while. Your partner is probably preoccupied with boardroom tactics so it’s about time you took over a little or even initialize things.

4. Share interests
Instead of nagging him endlessly about tinkering around with electrical gadgets or wondering what is so fascinating about that dumb soccer match - join him in his fun. Show an interest in things that fascinate him, so that he wants to share them with you and doesn’t have to feel guilty about his passions, but can enjoy them and enjoy them with you. Quite often, when it comes to their passions, men are little boys in big bodies. And just like kids, they have to be given a little attention and should be pandered to occasionally.

3. Find humor/ laugh together
Laughter, as always, keeps a relationship alive. If a woman has the ability to find humor in everyday situations and can share a few laughs with her partner, it goes a long way towards retaining the spark in a relationship and increasing her allure to her partner. This is my favorite part, just laughing together.

2. His happiness is important
When a woman indicates to her husband that his happiness is of paramount importance to her, it makes him feel very lucky to have her in his life. Having a surprise party on his birthday, cooking his favorite meals, buying him tickets to his favorite concert, or even buying a gift for his mother or supporting his family(even if you don’t get along) because his happiness is what matters to you, only serves to make a woman more attractive to her husband.

1. Show that you care
Every single day, in some small way, show your husband just how much he means to you. Tell him you love him, when he’s sick, take care of him like a little child, pack his lunchbox, hug him often and kiss him like you can’t get enough. The more you kiss and hug and love him, he will also give the love back. Knowing that and feeling like he’s the object of your affection will make him feel like a king and want to always have you as his queen.---AND THIS MY FRIENDS IS OUR ULTIMATE GOAL....TO BE HIS QUEEN FOR ALWAYS!!

Motivated

Well I have been really motivated lately and so here's the scoop. I first made some rocking goals and am taking steps everyday to get me closer to achieving them. When you make big goals, you know you will achieve them, because you set small goals to go along side them. Setting small goals and achieving them ultimately gets me closer to my large goal. So basically, it's really exciting knowing that I am getting closer everyday.
Second, we just had a huge kick off event in L.A. for 2009. David and I did some training on stage which is always awesome and we were able to present a huge award "The Rising Star Award" to our good friend for earning more than 6-figures this last year. We had the great privilege of training him and supporting him and his wife, and because of their own goals and choices, they took off with it, and made huge money. So presenting them with the award was so awesome and emotional for both of us. We were just so proud of their growth and accomplishments. We also just opened up for bilingual, so our Spanish community is growing incredibly fast.
Third, I have recently stepped over to my sister's blog and she mentioned that from now on she was just going to say what was on her mind and not worry about who's feelings she was hurting, but blogging was like her journal and she was going to blog her life and her feelings and her thoughts. So I was completely inspired with her RAW edge.
So, in light of this, I want to share something that really hits home for me, THIS IS WHAT I AM ABOUT. As many of you know, David and I are "Some of THOSE people who work from home." However many of you don't have a clue as to what we do. If your curious, we have two websites you can check out. The first is called www.createfinancialwealth.com and the second is www.the3hourworkday.com both of these will give you a little taste. But my main point here....is that we teach people to really LIVE again, and we have products that switch your mindset from poverty mentality over to Prosperity Consciousness and then you allow yourself to be open to larger incomes. We are part of one of the greatest movements on earth. In fact, last year, Personal Development was one of the largest income opportunities available anywhere in the world. And this is what we truly do. We are Personal Development Mentors, and we are in the business of working with serious leaders. Big thinkers who aren't afraid to take a chance, because they know if they stay in the same place they've been, they are never going to grow or learn or even earn any more then they already do. Now I know I lost a lot of people way back there, and that is completely fine, because the truth is, they aren't ready, they are scared, and they think they already have all the answers to life. Which is sad, especially for their kids who are going to grow up with the same mentality. We all have the ability to be something greater than we are presently, but who's willing to stick their neck out and do something about it. Well I WAS. Yep, I was one of those people who wanted to change my stars. And WE HAVE.
So since I am speaking off the cuff tonight, I wanted to share a story with you that motivates me and inspires me to greatness. I actually search this kind of stuff out, because it allows me to grow and to gain wisdom. Not knowledge from books (which I do read alot) but wisdom from other people and their personal experiences. Unfortunately, many people go through life thinking they have it, and don't require any one else's opinions or experiences. But I have learned, that I grow and learn 10x the amount when I learn from others.

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register Four.
Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She seemed a little older than he, (maybe 26, and he was only 22) but her smile was irresistible and he fell in love instantly.
Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock hoping to see her just one more time before calling it a day. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, and he fell speechless. She took her card and punched out and smiled once more before turning to leave. He waited until she was out of site and rushed to the shelf of time cards, he found hers…BRENDA.
He walked out of the store and spotted Brenda walking home. That would be his opportunity tomorrow. The next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She graciously declined simply stating that it would be impossible.
He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with us."
She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally, Brenda brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought. Then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down syndrome.
Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with.
A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more children to their loving home.
So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now lives in Arizona.
Overlooked by the NFL draft, cut in training camp by the Green Bay Packers, and thwarted by a venomous spider bite when trying out for the Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner's path to victory hasn't been an easy one. Yet despite setbacks, Warner persevered--whether stocking supermarket shelves or leading teams to the Super Bowl. All along the way, he's shared his faith in Christ.

I just wanted to share this with you, because I feel that we all have the ability to achieve greatness, yet so many of us are not willing to take the extra step, go the extra mile, try new things, or even stick our neck out there towards unknown territory. Kurt Warner pursued his wife and career in a way that fashions a hero of perseverance. He also attributes all victories to his Lord and his Savior, Jesus Christ. I am inspired.

Kyla's Decision--IT WILL GROW BACK

This was absolutely Kyla's Decision. So here's the story....Kyla asked me to trim her hair because I had trimmed Saydee's hair a few days prior. So I trimmed an inch off. It looked great. Then she checks it out in the mirror, and says..."Mom, I still look the same." I say, "of course you do, because your looking at your face." She says, "NO MOM, I want it cut." So, I trimmed 2 more inches off and it was a cute bob and looked great. I loved it. So the same scenerio comes up. She walks over to the mirror and says, "mom, I don't look any different." I say, "Kyla it looks so great." She says, "Mom, I want it short in the back and long in the front." So I say, "maybe we could wait a week and see if you like it, and then if your still not happy, then we will cut more." She says, "No Mom, I want it short." Soooooo....I DID IT. I cut her hair, and cut some more, and it turned out really cute, but it is so short. When it was all said and done, she tells me....."mom, it's just hair, it will grow back." And she is right.

Broken Laptop

Okay, so Dave's Laptop is broken. Not as bad as the one in the picture, but he has sent it away to get fixed thanks to a great friend, but now Dave has resorted to using mine. So what does this mean??? Well it means I have limited time on it. So if you are wondering where I went, just attempting to get a little computer time here and there when he is not using it. I will check in when he says I can use "my own computer." What a crock huh!!

I Wanna Be A Cowgirl Baby!

Our Macy Kay is one cute cowgirl.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow

It has snowed and snowed and snowed some more. We have been sledding and sledding some more as well. These are just a few pics of our snowy adventures. Just a quick note....there is nearly 4 foot of snow in front of my house that Dave had to dig a pathway through so our guest could come to the door. It's nuts, but we are loving it, so if your having a shortage of snow in your area, you should come visit. In these pictures a few of our friends are featured...Cathy Schroder and her nephew along with our friend Andrea Price. We love the sled hill at SunRise...It Rocks. However, one of these days I hope to do more at SunRise than just sled, I want to board baby.
