iT'Z Family Food & Fun - Houston Location

We attended It'z for a birthday awhile back and would to share our experience with you all. It was our first time attending It'z and it was enjoyable with something to do for all ages. The party we attended had a party room which from the look of it and all the other ones they are pretty good sizes. Out decorations, and cake was welcome to add your touch in the room. Along with the hostess always kept our table clean, and drinks full along with hot pizza came out at a timely manner. We also had to option to go get any food from the the buffet that they had to offer. Many choice to choose from but one thing I didn't like was they were not as strict on the kids coming to the buffet and just grabbing the food with their hands. Everything was clean and the workers were always so nice. There was also a bar and a bowling that we told ourselves if we ever go back we will enjoy those area. The games were for all ages with some not working which I know it happens, but my little one was a little disappointed about that. We also love my child could carry his card around and not have to worry about loosing the tokens along with the tickets loading to your card instead of carry them around. The prize shop was at reasonable price to the tickets and every child could walk out with something no matter how small or big the prize is, a parent is saved from a fit. Points to load on the card was on reasonable and we love how our party gave us the option to played unlimited for an hour, which was enough for my little guy. All in all we enjoy ourselves! Food was good, and everything was clean!!

Will we go back? Absolutely!! We plan to go do a game of bowling and enjoy some drinks while walking around with our son and watch him play.

If you are in the Houston or Pasadena area go check out It'z for a family fun outing!!

I'm still here and with some exciting news

Hey everyone! I'm still around with life being busy and the months going by so fast, and having some exciting news that I haven't been able to share because I have been so sick. But now I have a moment to share with all of you as I'm slowly starting to feel back to myself, and fingers cross it stays that way.

The news is my husband and I are expecting our second child and our son is going to be a big brother. This came as a complete suprise and totally unplanned but for sure a blessing. I'm almost 12 weeks and this pregnancy has been difficult again, but different compare to my first one. Some days are harder than others, and while other days are like nothing was wrong with me. Morning sickness and in my case is the nausea should be call all day sickness as this doesn't go away right away...lol. I do have meds thanks to my doctor that does help, but not being able to drink so much has been really hard. I have try anything and everything but I'm to the point I'm going to drink something, and be ok because I'm thirsty....thanks baby C #2. While all this has been going on I must my husband and son have been so wonderful to me although we do have to ensure our son that mommy will and is going to be ok. We keep telling him that as we don't want his almost four year old body to stress or worry. And I must add he has been going with us so far to two appointments that I have had so he knows what is going on. We want to make sure we include him on this journey with us as not only our lives are about to change, but his is too. I must say when we first found out in the beginning of July that I was pregnant and have the sickness since than and one point I think made myself sick, but also I was freaking out like how are we going to do this with two kids while my husband reminds calm. Now that I am almost 12 weeks I have calm down and have had a wonderful support system and have come to terms we got this, I got this it's going to be a little adjustment in our lives but God is not giving us anything we can't handle and that's exactly what he is doing in my family and for family.....he just adding a extra blessing. For the longest I thought my son would be the only child as I'm the only child, but than as each day passes I'm truly thankful he won't grow up alone like I did. I know it won't be picture perfect but that's OK as we will get thru the days as a family and with our support system behind us. Beside all that is going with my pregnancy I also want to add that my son is back in school first day last Wednesday, and we are planning his fourth birthday. Busy, busy, busy while trying to add date for my husband and I in the mix. 

Now stick around as I will update soon on another post about my son, and will also update on my pregnancy soon along with sometime this week we will be getting a call to tell us the sex.....so stay tuned!

Month 7 of 2018...WOW

My title says it all!! Can't believe we have only have 5 months left of 2018!! Where has the time gone?

I will tell you each day including weekend in each month we have been busy. But we had a few weekends where we were able to hide inside our home and be lazy which those days are nice, while the week and weekends that we are busy with either the three of us or being with family and friends are truly great. And either way way we are creating memories and making memories inside or our outside our home and I couldn't ask for anything else. Now with it being a new month we do have some days that are busy for us and we will go with the flow and if something comes up as we go than cool if not than that's fine with me. Either way I'm looking forward to this month and can't wait to see what else is in store beside what we do have plan like my mom turns 60th tomorrow, fourth of July is Wednesday, a good family friend son turns 1, and a good friend of mines who is like a sister and has watch me grow celebrate a milestone birthday, and other friend celebrates her birthday as well which I wish her all the best since we hardly don't talk anymore. And in between all that my husband wants to try and take time off and hang out with us, let's see if that will work out especially with the weather we are having hot temps, dust coming in, and rain come and go....that's Texas weather for us! Beside being busy with all that above and going with the flow I have manage to get some playdates in for my son, continue on our lunch date for the two us sometimes we join our friends or  daddy, work with my son, and get my work out in. Yeah my work out hasn't been that great, I have been doing it just not as focus as before, but it's getting done and I will completely get 100 percent focus here soon(I'm hopeful, fingers cross). I also must add we are getting stuff ready for my son fourth birthday in September(I like to plan early), also we have to do school clothes and supplies shopping as he will do a full school year in the PPCD program...stay tuned for an update is coming soon. Finally my husband and I are getting are date night in for this month(this weekend), since are last one was in April and May and June was busy that we could not fit it in and I looking forward to some much need it time together.

Enjoy the 7th month of July because I'm already tired after writing this, and its just the first day..Lol!

P.S. What does July the 7th month of 2018 have in store for you? Please do share!

My husband for father's day

We celebrated father's day last month, and we made it a little extra special than normal days for my husband. It wasn't hard at all to get stuff for my husband but this year we added a spacial gift with the other gifts that we got him, and that was a picture of our son holding letters D-A-D and he had one of his daddy shirt on and it was taken in our backyard on a beautiful but hot day. Also a few days before father's day we stop and had lunch at Chick Fil A while there we picked up a coloring sheet that had world greatest father, and on the other side had happy father's day. We were able to come home and our son got really into coloring it and did such a good job, and while he was coloring and in thought I was able to get a few pictures of him in action. Those gifts were given to him on Father's day along with a nice homemade breakfast by for me, a movie and than came home and had dinner. Than before all this we went out to a nice resturant on Saturday and celebrated my father in law and husband for father's day, so Sunday was just a lay back down with just the three of us.

Smile after smile is what I saw from my husband and it was priceless! I try to give him the world and so much more, but with the love we have to offer him is what all he needs and that's coming from him....blessed for sure. Let me say that he's beyond amazing with our son and they bond they have is so wonderful to see. I love seeing him cuddle with our son, hearing them laugh together, playing  together, teaching him new things, help him learn,and so much more. Also love seeing our son saying bye to him in morning before daddy leaves to work if he's up, the way he greets him when he gets home from work, he wants daddy to do everything for him and just wants to be with his daddy. For that, and everything and beyond from what I see from both of them being together is something that I never had, and always wanted! I'm so glad that I found someone who loves me and is a wonderful father to our son and is in life and wants to be in his life. I beyond blessed and trust me I thank God everyday for him!

With that being said can't wait to see whats in store next year for him!!

I'm still around, life has been busy but here is a little update of what's going on

Hello all! I'm so glad you guys are sticking by still. Life has been busy and the moment I think I'm going to have a free time, I'm wrong well beside right now so let me start 

My son finish his first few months of PPCD and will get a full school year come August, and so right now he's on summer break and I'm trying to keep him busy

My husband is still working a lot of hours but manage to surprise us, and get out early during the week so we can have family dinner together 

Here we are in month 6 of 2018 and I'm still focusing on myself and making time for myself. Sometimes the devil try to take over me and get me in a funk, but I don't and will not allow it and push forward. Yes, some days are harder than others but I get it done. I'm working out on the treadmill going on month three with before I was doing the UFC workout on the Xbox Kinect. It's a struggle to get started but once I'm done I feel great. Also trying to watch what I eat and than limit myself and not to over eat, but I do have my weakness. 

Also my husband and I have been working on ourselves as well with making time for each other and sitting up date night, and let me tell you since doing that we have reconnect like no other. 

Than not least we are still making memories as family, with our son, and for our son!! As well getting some family friends time in as well. 

So with that being said please continue to stick around as I promise I do have a bit new blog post coming up that I know you all will enjoy. I will for sure making the time now...lol!! 

Thank you!

Looking back at my mother's day

Taking you back to share with everyone how my mother's day went. This pass mother's day was my fourth mother's day  as a mother. And of course its different every year because my little one is getting bigger and bigger as compare to my first mother's day, and now it hit me hard. The reason why it hit me hard was because my little one was just 8 months old when I celebrated my first, and now he's 3 in a half and he's slowly loosing his baby face...sad face right here!! Either way I had a blessed one and each day I continue to get with little one and my husband is a blessing and I thank God each passing day I get with them. Mother's day started Saturday with spending time with my in laws at my brother in law house where he cooked fish, corn on the cob, along with potato salad, shrimp cocktail and mix drinks. That day we all got together to focus on my mother in law and a family friend mother that was there also with her family. Also we didn't get to see my mom but we will celebrate any other day with her as I don't need a day to celebrate.  Than mother's day was extra special for me but than again everyday is special for me, and my boys spoil me everyday. From beginning to end the day was nice! My son and I got to wear matching shirts...I had you are my sunshine, and he had on my only sunshine shirt. Than my husband took us to have lunch at our favorite resturant along with he gave me a ring mother's love from James Avery that I have been wanting. Finally, we came home and made it a movie night and just enjoy the rest of the day.

You know it was nothing big just the three of us and that's all I needed.
