The month of January has been bittersweet for me for the last 11 years. How so, you say? The month of January is the month that I celebrate my birthday but its also the month that my Mothers Birthday occurs. My mother passed away 11 years, and on January 29th, she would have been 54 years old. So every January 29th for the past 11 years, a reflection occurs in my mind, of the things we use to do, the conversations we've had, but most important, the grandmother my girls will never physically know. The latter is what bothers me the most, because I was 23 when she passed away. So I was blessed to have 23 years with her, but my girls were not given the same opportunity. I know she would have been such a force in their lives, just as she was in mine, my brother and my sister. So its takes a lot of effort for me to not be selfish but be grateful that heaven has one of their angels back, because we so miss her presence. On this day of January 29th, I say Happy Birthday Momma.


Love, MochaMom

State of the Union Address

Is anyone watching this, Seriously at this point I am so done with Bush the only interesting thing to me that he has to say is "supposedly " he plans to assist in boosting the economy by giving taxpayers a tax rebate check. Tax Relief is what they're calling it, imagine that, sounds like a oxymoron to me (tax relief, are we ever really relieved of taxes). So here is how this thing is suppose to play out:

When are taxpayers suppose to receive: ( notice my choice of words, "suppose"):


IRS could start mailing out checks by the end of June since the agency is now in the middle of the 2007 tax-filing season.

How much:

Taxpayers could get rebates of up to $800 if single, or $1,600 if married.


Who would get it:

Everyone with earned income would get the full rebate, even if they didn't make enough money to owe income tax. Otherwise, roughly 40 percent of tax filers (which is more than 50 million households) would get only a partial rebate or no rebate at all.


So with all this said, can someone please shoot me a email should you receive one of these.

Hello, so another weekend bites the dust. Busy, Busy as usual. First of all the weather was crazy. Listen to this, 30 degrees and rainy on Friday, 70 degrees and sunny on Sat. and Sunday. Is that not crazy, only in Texas. So we had to take the kiddos out shopping for new shoes, clothes and what nots. While we were out we decided to stop by IKEA. After checking the kids into the Children's play land area, low and behold who we do we see with her kids, Marion Jones. I couldn't believe it, we didn't freak, just politely gave her a gaze and continued on about our business. If you remember in a earlier post, I stated that although she committed a crime, I feel so bad about her having to pay for it with a prison sentence.

So the discussion me and hubby had was, would it have been right for us to ask for an autograph in the midst of her legal trouble. His take on the issue was that she would have felt that fans were still behind her despite her admitted mistake. My take on the issue was, that I wanted to give her space and let her enjoy her time that she has with her kids before she has to spend 6 months in a federal jail. I didn't think it would be right for us to impose as she was spending her time with the people she enjoys the most.

So all in all we had a fabulous time, and a fabulous dinner. The time we spent with the kids was great so I thought we should extend the same courtesy to Marion and let her enjoy her time as we enjoyed ours.


Ciao ladies.

Not much going on with MochaMom in the last few days. I wasn't feeling well, and then I had some training at work. Too pooped to really keep up with the happenings of our wonderful world this week. But I'll be back on my game in a day or two. Watch and see.

A Flawless Face!!!!!

Love this look, simply beautiful. Have you ever had your makeup done professionally? Try it sometimes, MAC, Bobbie Brown have some lovely colors for us mocha toned sisters as well as all shades. I know I have issues with finding a matching foundation that doesnt look like a mask. I tend to favor, MAC Studio fix, NW 45. So go all out and have your makeup done, and add some lashes as well. Fabulous ladies.

If you haven't seen the "Beyonce Experience" performance, you've missed out. That show was off the chain. I cant even hate, she did her thing on that entire performance.

She performed for two hours straight, dancing, singing and holding the microphone. No lipsyching at all.

Baddest chick in the game right now!!!

¿Que Paso? I had a wonderful birthday on yesterday. I thank everyone for the calls, the emails, the old jokes and what not. My co-workers took me to a fabulous lunch at P.F. Changs; another made me a great chocolate cake. When I got home my husband had another cake and candles and all the party paraphernalia. So a good time was had by all. I guess getting old might not be so bad after all! Hope you have great people in your life to celebrate those joyous times in your life and pick you up when you’re down, if not, reevaluate your friend circle. Remember that people come into your life for either a reason, season or a lifetime.

Take care,
MochaMom

Happy Birthday Martin!

So how lucky am I that my birthday usually falls right there in between Thursday and Monday of the week that we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday? Not lucky because of the holiday that we get off but lucky because its always a constant reminder of the work that he did in his lifetime in regards to work that I want to do in mine. Now I in no way have I accomplished what that man had done in his short lifetime. Come to think about it, is there anyone else that you can think of that contributions run parallel to those of his. I often ask, are will still fighting that fight? Did we forget that the freedoms that we enjoy today are not “free”? Someone else paid our way so that we may enjoy the things that we take for granted. Although the circumstances differ from what he had to fight to overcome, there is still work to be done. I often think that we are back paddling in this fight. He fought for nonuse of the N-word, yet we use this word in general conversation. By his side was a woman that he respected and held her presence as a regal gesture. Women today are seen as accessories, the more you have the better you look. Television, magazines are inundated with images of African American women showing no respect for their bodies, their families, or their history.

What is the state of the African American world today? It’s hard to really categorize everyone into one group. Because they are definitely people that are trying to stick to the grassroots that were laid by Martin and make strides to see a better future for our children but are met with many obstructions. Today the focus seems to be on money. People’s ideas are shaped and swayed by money. Magazines and television that promote these degrading ideas are driven by money and not the affects of this perception. Young people today don’t understand that it takes more than luck to be successful. How are you going to afford these materialistic things that NFL, NBA players, rappers idolize? Everyone can’t play football and basketball and rap, what are you going to fall back on? Education should be held in a higher respect and its not. You can’t compete in a room with other students in a scholarly capacity from all over the world if your focus has been on athletics. Now don’t get me wrong, this has been the way many have changed their lives and their family’s, but realistically everyone won’t make it that way.The stats say that .17% actually go on to play professionally.

We’ve lost focus somewhere along the way. We’ve forgotten what’s important. We’ve forgotten about putting our time and money in education. We’ve forgotten about Faith, We’ve forgotten about respect. If those things are the basis for our decisions, we’d be in a different realm. So with all my ramblings (and this is not even half), I say, “Happy Birthday Martin.” Let the week, be a reflection of the week that Martin would have if he was still with us, what would his actions be? Show pride and be proud of the skin you’re in, know that you deserve everything that is offered to everyone else. There is one Creator and be reminded that he does not discriminate.

Happy Birthday Martin

Marion Jones Sentenced to 6 months

What say you about this situation? I hate the circumstances surrounding this entire case. I remember watching her many times and just thinking "she's a bad lady", on the field. Even though obviously she broke the law, I hate that she will have to spend time in prison. Even more so with her plea to not have her spend any time away from her two small children including an infant son. Read the judges', response to this plea, harsh but true. Sigh!

Life is a Marathon, Not a Sprint!!

As we enter 2008, we often reflect on the things that we've done in the past and plan to accomplish in the future.True happiness is the balance of all aspects of life working homogeneously forming a perfect circle. Did you make the traditional New Years Eve resolutions? Well, for 2008, lets set goals in each aspect of things that are attainable and measurable. What are each of these aspects of one's life? They are Financial, Spiritual, Social and Emotional balance. I'll share my goals in each of these and hopefully some of you will share yours or at the very least write them down for your own personal growth. So lets get started!!!!

Financially (Lets do the boring one first!)

Financially, this year I am paying off a vehicle ( 1 payment left, go me), my youngest daughter will be beginning entering kindergarten which means no more "daycare". With these funds my goal is to at least take the total of these two bills and contribute 20% into savings. The remainder will be used to make larger payments on credit cards and other existing debt. By the end of 2008, I should be able to increase my savings by an additional $1600 (small increments keeps it realistic). Measurable and attainable.

Spiritually

Although I may not wear my beliefs on my sleeve, I've always known from whom my blessings come. But as I reflect on these many blessings that I so did not deserve, how do you repay such a debt? My goal is to become more involved in my beliefs and not only passively attend but actively participate. By doing this, my girls will began to understand from where their blessing come. I don't believe that I would be doing my job as a parent if I didn't plant the seed of salvation in their heart. The world is going to teach them lessons, but I want the foundation that I lay to be the basis for their decision making.

Socially

Have you ever given your time with no compensation expected? When I was in college, I volunteered every Thursday PM at the children's wing for terminally ill patients at the medical center. Their only request is that you make them comfortable and maybe if its not too much to ask, if you could play simple games with them. Can you imagine only having such a simple request at such a time in their lives. These are the experiences that make you value your life. Give your time to someone less fortunate. My mother made me do this and I'll give this same gift to my girls.

Emotionally

You know they say if you don't take care of yourself, you cant take care of others. I truly believe this. Every now and then you have to take time for yourself. Even if its only a 10-15 minutes a day for mediation, prayer or whatever feeds your emotional high. Sharpen your saw.....Your saw is your mind. Otherwise it gets dull and overworked. Ok, you get the picture. This is one of my goals. Measurable and attainable.

In closing, I say take a little time for reflection. My favorite poem ends by saying, "Do you get one more tomorrow by the work you did today?" I say, "Live everyday like its your last and if you're lucky to get another, do it all over again."


Sincerely,
MochaMom

Recipes

Most people that know me, know that I do not cook. I have collected a number of recipes in the past that I am one day going to make whenever I get some free time. But anywaaay, this Christmas the family and I decided that we did not want to have Turkey, Dressing, yada yada, as Thanksgiving was only 4 weeks away and that's what had then. So me, being the resourceful person that I am pulled out one of my handy dandy little recipe folder and came up with what you are seeing below. It's a rack of crowned Pork Loin, that was so scrumptious it ridiculous. My hubby did an excellente' job whipping this up for the fam. It was a great alternative to the traditional Turkey and dressing feast. My photo shows it in the roasting pan, but the final presentation is for it to be carved into self-serving pork loins on a large serving dish with whatever stuffing, couscous or pilaf that you decide to serve it with in the center. If you're interested in the recipe, shoot me an email and I'll send it your way.

Keeping things intesting,
MochaMom

Natural Texture???

Have you ever wondered what your natural texture would look like if you were to stop relaxing? They say that maintenance of natural hair is harder than relaxed hair because it takes more to replenish the moisture than relaxed hair. I know us gals love our relaxer but have you ever thought about reverting to your natural texture? Don't think I will be doing at this time but maybe one day. What say you. I would want mine just like these chicas, big and poufy. (fyi, relaxed ladies, these styles can be accomplished using flexi-rods) Beautiful!!!



Truly Fabulous,

MochaMom

Can you believe this?

"Dad Threw 4 Children off Bridge"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080110/ap_on_re_us/children_bridge_deaths;_ylt=Aoz5t3YZk4HN1cAlJvFCpQpvzwcF

I cant.

I know there are people that may be plagued with issues that causes one to act and react in crazy ways. What in someones natural mind would make them do such a thing ? Why are the children the people to suffer when the parents probably shouldn't have been parents in the first place ? Why do they wait until that have kids and loose their minds? Was this potential to hurt another human being always there or did it manifest once they had kids? This for the world of me, is inhumane. So what do you do with someone who has committed such an act? In my opinion, there really is not punishment suitable for such an act. When you think of the families that are trying to have children but cant, the possibilities of a difference those children may have made in the world, what could possibly be a suitable punishment? Hmm.... I cant think of one. So with the closing of this post, I say pray for 5 souls in this story. Those 4 childrens' souls that will be in Heaven and the other one, that will be in the opposite location.

Ciao Ladies

Fashion Baby!!

Forever 21,(http://www.forever21.com/) check them out sometimes, they have cute tops and sweaters sometimes. (Just dont be trying to wear everything in there, you're too old for that) Now this bag is Banana Republic, I dont think you can find real leather in Forever 21, so dont go looking for this bag, its not in there.





Now, you guys know I like to mix up high fashion with cheap cute tops just to pull off a great look. My thing has been to spend the most money on classic and a great fit in pants. I like to pair expensive pants with trendy tops. That way, the shirt may go out of style, at least it didn’t cost a lot and you can still have a great pair of pants to pair with other trendy tops. My favorite pants by far are Banana Republic. They are always the right length and fit in the right spots, plus the fabrics are usually top quality. Pair that with a great bag, cute shoes and you’re off to being a fab chic.

During the course of this blog, you will notice that I tend to favor black and earth tones for clothing and makeup. I know there are a lot of mocha girls out there that go for bright colors and they look great on them. I just prefer to stick with what I like. But we'll have a variety of things both neutral and bright colors. But just remember, I love my black.

More to come.


As usual,

Stay fab

It seems everyday, discovery of the bodies are the results of missing persons reports.

MochaMom's Hair regimen

Many ladies have asked my hair regimen in the past, so as my third post, here it is.

If you read 91 Things about me, you know that I love hair products. The line that seems to work best for me is Design Essentials. I have tried many lines from Phytospecific, Affirm, Mizani, Elasta, the one that seems to take care of my hair care needs is DE. I have my hair relaxed with DE Relaxer no less than 6 weeks (keeps hair healthy by not over processing already relaxed hair). I wash my hair weekly at home and here are my steps:


Prepoo with Coconut oil over night
Wash with Neutrogena Anti residue shampoo (twice a month as this is a clarifying shampoo)
Wash of Creme of Nature Detangling Shampoo
Wash of Design Essentials Moisture retention shampoo
Condition with Design Essentials Express
Condition with Herbal Essence Dangerously Straight Conditioner
Detangle with Design Essentials HCO leave in, Cantu Breakage treatment
Mold with Jane Carter Wrap and Roll mixed with HCO
Sit under hooded dryer
Add a small amount of Cantu Breakage treatment to hair and Design Essentials treatment to scalp
Flat iron with Chi
Finish with a spray of Design Essentials Spritz Formations



I have recently dyed my hair black using Bigen (Oriental Black), dont think I'll be doing that again. It's causing quite a bit of dryness, so I have to step up the moisture game, hence all the use of product above. Remember this works for me, may not necessarily be great for someone else. But get a regimen that you can stick to, and you will see a major difference in your hair. More about this later.

Fab,
Mocha Mom

Children Growing up in this generation

Hello, when you were growing up, did you have access to a computer? I dont think they were all that popular or the average Joe just didnt have one. But in these days, kids have everything. My sister came for the holidays, mind you she's 17, she had a Blackberry, digital camera and an Ipod. My question is does having all these things available at such a young age make you appreciate things less when you're older? What say you?

As Usual,

91 Things About Me

Why 91 things about me, well, thats all that I could think of at the time. So here goes, January 2008. Lets get started.

Kyla is 10 (They grow up so fast, take lots of pictures)
Katelyn is 4
I am married
I went to Jackson State University although I didn’t do my best work there, (wasn’t working toward a goal)
I finished my Bachelor degree at a online college
I live in Austin, Texas

I met Shan in the 3rd grade
I met Candace while working at JC Penny’s during my college days
This is my first time writing a blog of my own
I love to read blogs, I do it everyday
That’s what inspired me to create my own
I wanted a platform to express my views, feeling and concerns
An online journal would be cool
I have started to write them in a fancy journal pad but neglected it and let other things take me away from writing the events of my life down
It would be cool for my daughters to have something to read that’s personal because sometimes with the business of life I do not get to discuss things that I really think I should with them.
I love the technical things
Not sure what the theme or format of this blog will be yet, I’m just going to write what events and circumstances crosses my mind on any given day.
I plan to have be happier in 2008 and many years to come
This is hard, I am not one to really talk about myself so this is hard for me
I know there are some things I need to work on
Patience is at the top of the list
Did I mention this was hard (oh yeah, I did)
I love beauty and hair products
I do not cook even though I love collecting recipes
I love a good book but I cant pass the hair product section of a store without browsing
I became really ill after giving birth to Katelyn
I developed a blood clot in my lungs
I was lucky to have gotten to the emergency room in time
I do not have a MySpace page, although it seems everyone else does ( Or does anyone over 30 have these things?)
I am working on not worrying about every little thing so much (Blood pressure is forcing me to ignore some things and move on)
I think this may be fun once I get the hang of blogging
Or maybe not
Sometimes I am indecisive, that’s another thing I have to work on
I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration but still not sure what direction in my career I would like to go
I think I would do well in Human Resources, ( I am a people person)
Some things really make me upset
Seeing young people with no direction and not realizing their potential and all that life has to offer
Young people not realizing that there are other stations on the television other than BET.
That really irks me
I know I am blessed
I know I could show it more
I don’t think I do as much as I could to repay my blessings
I am really passionate about helping children who may be forgotten in society
This includes children of incarcerated mothers
I think this world future may be in trouble they way things are going now
I know I should be doing more in my career; but have become complacent in my current position
I am going to work on that in 08
I really want to get my MBA
I admire Oprah, but don’t take her word as “the word”, as others do
I wonder who will be on the election ballet, Clinton or Obama or both
That would be so cool
I know I need to pray more
I want my girls to be assertive and well spoken
I am working on teaching them gratitude and humbleness
I work with people that are totally different than I grew up around
Sometimes I am ashamed of my southern accent
I really want to take a trip to Jamaica
Hubby and I working on that for 2008
My family on my mothers side is kind of messed up
I miss my mother and think about her frequently
Her father just passed away in November 2007
I am writing this when I should be doing laundry, but it’s a holiday and I have tomorrow off, so we'll do that then
I love the time before 10:00 am, if I do anything in the a.m., I like to do it before 10:00 am. Don’t know why, I ‘m weird that way I guess
People think I am funny
I was really quiet in high school, people took that as “stuck up”
I get aggravated easily
I love to be alone sometimes
I like it quiet in my house, although I have a 4 and 10 year old, doesn’t happen often


Thats all for now, many post to come. Hopefully.

Stay Fab
