I enjoy the food to taste as it should without the pesticides, hormones etc. So I try my hardest to maintain a Healthy lifestyle through using all organic and natural ingredients!! Well I have recently been turned on to www.tampabayorganics.com, They deliver all of the veggies and fruit I love to the front door once a week!!! When you sign up for your acct you can tell them what you do and dont like and make substitutions to your order each week if you'd like...This service is currently available in Pasco, Hernando, Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in florida!!! The quality of the items are AMAZING!!!! and it has continued to save me more and more $ per week!!!

As well as giving our Angels the life they deserve.<br /><br />Aysia and Addy, Mommy and daddy do everything we do for you girls and this is 100% for you girls (ok with a little satisfaction for Mommy and Daddy)<br /><br />So its not much to look at right now but it will be Home when we are done with it!<br /><br />THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PRAYED FOR OUR MIRACLE!!!<br />Especially, Nanny and Poppy, Karen and David and Bob and Caroline.<br />as soon as I have pics they will be up!Mommy Renaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16683844206575637054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993112349786202241.post-82273628826081838112008-12-03T07:51:00.001-08:002008-12-03T08:12:50.083-08:00A little about me and mine......I am the mom to Two of the most amazing lil Brats you will ever meet Aysia Serene and Addyson Reese.<br /><br /><br /><a title="Two peas in a pod by oslrenaud, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24934687@N05/3079465657/"><img height="500" alt="Two peas in a pod " src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/3079465657_08a8ef635b.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /><br />This is my Oldest Aysia Serene she just turned 4 and is the epitomy of the prettiest Fairy Princess you will ever meet and she will tell you her name is Princess Aysia.

IN PUBLIC....<br /><br />At home however have a mixture of a 1.5 y/o bully that antagonizes her older much whinier 3.5 y/o sister to the point of an almost bipolar episode.... I meanscreaming yelling throwing things type of meltdown which then they both end up in time out whining and crying the typical MOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYYYYY!!!!!<br /><br />Then we get to dinner time.... While the younger of the two "angels" will sit in her high chair and gladly devour anything that goes in front of her.(even if not edible) THe older "angel" it is usually nothing short of me standing and feeding the almost four yr old because she "doesnt like" ANYTHING!!!!<br /><br />Then baths and bed time is nothing short of a catastrophe and when did we get to the "mooooommmmmmyyyy i need a drink" every five minutes stage?<br /><br />Just a few mommy moments to share with the world of momma's!<br /><br />Hope you all are well!Mommy Renaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16683844206575637054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993112349786202241.post-88391230021707812722008-05-29T11:33:00.000-07:002008-05-29T11:36:13.733-07:00The Newness......Or lack thereofJust thought Id pop in and do an update.........There you are all updated.

It is now because the hands on the clock are getting close to 5 pm..... HOWEVER The day started painfully Early at 5: am .... Here is why.... DUMB "WANT TO HELP THE WORLD ME" Decided seeing how I dont have enough to do when I get home from work with 2 screaming hungry children and a screaming hungry husband,we have huge clients in the office today, So I decide Instead of catering in a lunch or Brunch, I'll do it myself.... WHICH I LOVE TO DO... So up till 11:30last night making platters cutting onions and tomatoes...off to bed for 5 hours and up again to get all dolled up (which is not daily practice usually I throw on a pair of jeans and the closest long sleeve tshirt that is the lesser stained of the pile, and a pair of flip flops).... Nope not today Dress slacks heels and a dress shirt ( all perfectly ironed of course. So Off to Drop kids off at school, DH at work and make it to the office by 7:30 start laying out the platters and getting all of the breakfast ready for said clients and employees...on the table by 8:45 Everyone enjoys the feast and Its like I am cleaning up after a pack of hyenas.... So that gets done and cleaned up (still trying to keep the office clean and well manicured seeing how we have said clients in the office.... EVERYONE walks out at 11:30 and goes to lunch for 2 friekin hours....Leaves lil ole me to answer phones.....So 1:45 rolls around still no lunch in the tummy so I order and eat at my desk whish is normal.... So 5pm is so close I can taste the ice cold bud light already...YAY! so I know pointless and kind of bitch session-ish but eh thats why its my blog.... SO BITE ME!!!<br /><br />LOL!!!<br /><br />OpeySue (4/18/08 Turns into the Domestic Diva)Mommy Renaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16683844206575637054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993112349786202241.post-23859662951564615272008-04-15T08:58:00.000-07:002008-04-15T09:19:12.288-07:00the reasoning...........There is alot of reasoning to why I named my blog this. I was always the it girl, the party girl, the fun girl...... Then I met DH and fell in love and had 2 beautiful baby girls. I am now as domsticated as they come (or try to be anyways) lol! I was a SAHM for 3 yrs. Aysia was 2y8m old and Addy was 8 months old when I went back to work full time.<br /><br />So I Decided why not try this blogging thing and see how it evolves.<br /><br />A little about me, Im a 27 y/o working mom, wife, sister, aunt, friend, daughter and woman. I dont eat right,I am insanely under weight (but healthy) I never get enough sleep. I always take on more than I can handle. I can be your worst enemy or your best friend, you decide. I am a damn good mom with a crazy side. I try to set the best example possible for my lil girls. (however easier said than done). I have a hard time letting go of the past. I want things to always be the way I want them. I talk too fast. I am always Right and on rare occasion when Im not I will admit it.<br /><br />I love my husband dearly, We have had a long hard haul but every fight and middle finger thrown was worth it. He truly is my best friend. I sometimes feel guilty that I dont give him as much time and attention as I should. He has given me the world and everything in it! I try.<br /><br />My Children,<br />Aysia(3) is my little girly girl. She loves to dress up and wear mommys make-up. She is truly a Pretty Princess, she doesnt like to get dirty and the world comes crashing down if she does get dirty. She just recently potty trained herself (if you believe that I have bonehandled honkey to sell you too) She is an angel and she loves her family and extended family. Shes always wanting to go see them or call them or making them things. She is a Daddys girl.<br /><br />Addyson (18 mos.) she should have been a by! She is my lil bruiser shes very tomboyish. She will climb up to the highest point of the couch just to see how far she can jump. (obviously I dont let her do this, But given the oppurtunity she'd be gone) She loves to snuggle and give kisses and she is obsessed with Elmo (or Melmo) and Ducks. She is mommys girl. Addyson was very sick from the time I went back to work until recently. we finally ended up having tubes pput in her ears and her adnoids removed, The poor lil booger lives with a constant sinus infection. She has been a late bloomer with everything from teeth to talking. But she is an Angel.<br /><br />If you got this far I commend you! If you want to have something to kill time stay tuned for my next thoughts......... Could be Interesting,.........Maybe Not!Mommy Renaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16683844206575637054noreply@blogger.com1
