YAAAAYYY!!! That there is my logo thanks to my graphic and web designer Skye Media Group!  I love it!  Over the past two years I've been pregnant and settling into my new role of mommy!  While loving that I decided to realize a long time dream of mine and start a dessert business.  It has been amazing and growth has been steady and the future is promising.  It isn't until recently that I've taken the steps to invest in branding and what you see is above is the logo.  MY website is www.prissysweetcak.com!!!  IT FEELS AWESOME TO SAY THAT!  What also feels awesome is having a business that I love doing something I LOVE and that other people are LOVING it also! Isn't that all we want in life is to love and be loved for what we offer the world?!?!? 

2013 has shown me so much of what is possible for me and Prissy Sweet Cake Treats and I cannot wait until 2014!  There is so much more to come like; shipping, new products, and events galore!  Stay tuned...but until next time follow @PrissySweetCake on Instagram, Twitter, and like Prissy Sweet Cake Treats on Facebook!!

Breastfeeding...I want to stop!!

OMG! Look at my one breast in the pic!  It's the only side I still nurse my now one year old princess on after my surgery on the other breast this past summer.  Yeah, I had surgery on my right breast because I had a severely plugged duct that got so bad 8 ounces of pus was trapped inside that breast. I didn't nurse on that one at that time, and after surgery, while my womb healed, I never went back to nursing on that side.

Anywho, the little darling was about 4 months back then.  She just turned one yesterday and this mommy is ready to take back her breasts!!!  It's extremely hard though especially as I lay here in bed with my right breasts looking like an alien, with nausea, and a slight headache.  I'm sure the last two symptoms are a direct result of my refusal to nurse because I generally don't experience headaches nor nausea.

I can see this is going to be an experience.  I feel guilty too though, because the little miss still, very much, wants to nurse but sheeeeeesh!!! She has 5 teeth, is walking, talking, playing, eating regular food...nursing has become a bit burdensome!   So now I'm up in the middle of the night blogging this contemplating waking her up to nurse even though I've succeeded in not allowing her to nurse since about 11:40am yesterday!  Terrible I know! I NEED some willpower QUICK!  I don't want to nurse, but I do want to relax, get a good night's sleep, and feel better.  Idk...I'll hold off as long as possible.  The thought of only nursing in the night to ween isn't a bad one neither.  I'm a girl about my sleep so something has to give!!

Out of sight out of mind...

Long time no hear from me...consistently anyway.  Between having a new baby & well, hell that's enough, I just can't seem to find the time to blog on a consistent basis.  I can't find time for the hair salon, nail salon, hangout with friends, or even eat a decent meal or sleep sometimes either.  So cut me some slack!  Parenting can be one of the most rewarding tasks but it's honestly one of the most sacrificial!  I'm in a place where I NEED my blog though.  I need to let off some steam even if it isn't directly releasing some of the bottled up adult energy on my keyboard may be just what I need.  After all, my mind is constantly in motion.  I can't even keep up with my own thoughts.  I need to blog or at least be on here reading what everyone else is writing to get my mind off stuff.  So yeah, consider me back on the blogosphere circuit.  Outside of diapers, weaning from breastfeeding, looking to go back to work, start a business, planning a first birthday, and soothing sore teething gums, not much else is going on with me...so if nothing else I'll be reading and commenting.  I miss you people!

Lacquered

I turned 25 on December 7th....YAAAAAYYY, FIST PUMP, YAAAAAY, RAISE THE ROOF!!! LOL, so of course I had to make sure I looked cute!  What girl doesn't?!?  So, my trusty, ever so creative nail tech decided to do a fashion/Beyonce inspired design on my stiletto nails...HOTNESSSS!!!!!  She and I both LOVED LOVED LOVED the Leonard-Paris black & yellow dress Beyonce had on a couple days before.  So being the Bey Stan I am, of course I obliged to having that design land on NO other hands but mine! The decision was a NO brainer!  It's worth noting that this was my first time getting stiletto nails too.  I'm sooo late to hop on the pointy, rounded nail trend smh.  While I love nail art, I love it on short, square nails or my natural nails.  These were a HIT!! Celeste, my tech, is definitely an extraordinarily creative gem!!! Talent unmatched!

Hair Chronicles: "Mommy Wig"

So, I've had this wig for about a year & I love it more now than I did then.  I'm so glad I discovered wigs!  They are a one time investment & offer incomparable versatility for...years!! My hair is pass shoulder length, but short hair is my beauty guilty pleasure!!! I feel so sassy in this one, and it is my go to wig for protective styling! Yes, I'm enjoying the look without the sacrifice...can.you tell in my pic?? LOL sure beats cutting my natural (literally) tresses & at less than $30, I may even put in highlights and get another!!!

Stay tuned!

How about for THICK or for thin??!?!

I have heard of some outlandish stuff when it comes to customizing prenuptial agreements like so & so should get this lump some of money MORE than what is entitled if the other person cheats, but I was just hipped recently to a new one...the extreme weight clauses.  Yes, weight clauses that were traditionally apart of the contracts of your favorite athletes, maybe models, and actors have now found themselves included in PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS!!  If you gain too much weight, you have to lose it or consider your weight gain and/or reluctance to lose it as my inevitable OUT!!

WHAT THE HELL?!?! Am I the only one just a bit put off by this...for lack of better words...FOOLISHNESS?!?!  Considering we are in the day of husbands/wives for hire and drive through divorces (ahem...Kim K..Eve & Ocho), I just may be.  Forgive me and call me a prude, but I still view marriage in the traditional sense.  A union of love, a ministry, between a man & woman for BETTER OR WORSE, RICH OR POOR, SICKNESS & HEALTHY and yes, all of that includes whether they are big or small!!

I don't want a man that wants me because i'm small, in my prime, young, beautiful.  NO, I want someone that will be around to spoon feed me if I need it, bathe me if I can't do it.  I want someone that will grab a burger with me at Wendy's as well as wine and dine at Prime 112.  I want a man that can appreciate me at my presently, attractive and curvy size 10/12 and will still love on me with stretch marks and a pooch in my size 18s if the day ever comes. 

Damn.  Love comes with some killer conditions these days!!  Why call it marriage?  How about we call it "love til further notice".  Maybe relationships should be contractual like cell phones...you can opt out at the end of your two years if I am no longer rich, employed, cute, small, fertile, or eat pasta!  LOL, I'm just saying!  It's getting out of hand.  I wish a fool would present me with some ridiculous clause SMH
