Living your dreams without fear

So I have been inspired by this fantastic book called Linchpin by Seth Godin.
Its a remarkable piece of writing, inspiring and daily I think of quotes from it.

Today's quote
"If you are deliberately trying to create a future that is safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely."

Today that quote bounced around bringing back potent memories. One such thought was becoming a mom. I told myself "its never gonna happen" I feared that I wouldn't be able to live out my own dreams.

You too may have said that once not just about parenthood but maybe a dream that you never followed through on. You know just that moment I'm talking about, when you had the chance but you let fear take over.

For so long I pushed that parenthood path aside. The world around me seemed scary and filled with bad people. I worried about bringing a kid into this mess, the things that might happen to him. Then we changed ( not the world ) we decided not to fear the unknown and went for it.
In the days after he was born all my worries were amplified. As he grew day after day, bump after seemingly tragic boo boo. I began to see how strong a child I already had. I knew that if he could survive the falls he could survive anything. I let go of many of my nonsense fears for things I had no control over and daily I try to do my best to give him a full and meaningful life.

I hope to never instill the fear of failure in him so that he can grow up taking on the world and challenging it. I'm not bringing up a child who is entitled, I am bring up a child who is indispensable. Hoping he will share his gifts for the greater good and raising a man who will make a positive difference in the world one day.

Finial thoughts : Taking a chance and not living in fear was life changing. My life is nothing I set out for it to be. Its way better. Don't let fear stand in the way of life....and if you fail try try again XOXO

It’s bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Styles won’t arrive until Nov. 13, but we have a sneak peek of Gwen Stefani‘s upcoming Harajuku Mini collection for Target.

The retailer has released the first official photo featuring the pop star (and mom-of-two!) with an adorable little girl modeling an outfit from the line. And everything is beyond cute!

“Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani, 41, told WWD. ”I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.”

Available in sizes 6 months to 16Y, the collection will range from $4 to $30.

And it will include everything from graphic tees and zip-up hoodies to tutu skirts and ballet flats.

“Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices,” Stefani said.

I'm addicted to jeggings

I am so in love with this new pair of jeggings I picked up at Target.
Mossimo Women's Denim Jegging $24.99

I have the hardest time finding jeans that fit me right and that don't break the bank. I have skinny legs and a tush. So I find that what fits me in the legs is to small in the waist and vise versa. Jeggings just fit me right. I have spent good money and been disappointed but Target is Da Bomb when it comes to making me feel like a million dollars!!!!

I bought the jeans in size 6 and they fit like a glove not to tight and slim through the legs. They are a little long but rolled up with sneeks and they look street styled. I could hem them but add in a pair of heels and my legs will look a mile long.

I'm telling , yourself a pair and see the difference great fitting jeans can make.
Outfit for fall: Long FP henley, fur vest, jeggings and studded Moto boots by ASH.

Gotta skate ( AKA gotta dance, Gene Kelly )

Skate shop Momma, Dadda Ollie and Little trucks.

When I met my Husband I was wearing a Thrasher Magazine T and skidz shorts. I was a skater girl for all it was worth. I hung out at skate shops and rode in the streets. Husband would skate over to my house from 5 miles away, wore Chucks and backwards hats. He was cool and I fell in love.
He can still skate, although we are way more cautious and it's still hot. Our little boy has taken a liking to skating too. It's in his blood to be fearless ( Dadda's side ) and he looks cute doing it ( Momma's side ). So we are hitting up the streets and having fun.

The family needs to sk8 and the winter is coming so it just has to be.

Missoni for Target major hit!

Selling out with in a couple hours the Missoni line at target hit the mark.
Crashing Target's website this has to be the best selling designer line Target has carried.

If you did not get a chance to grab some amazing swag, rumor has it that pieces will be coming in on trucks filling in the racks daily. They never know what they are getting but with a line this hot you know they will want to feed the need.

I Love Music, Yo Gabba Gabba Style

I am beyond excited for the 3rd volume of Yo Gabba Gabba Music is awesome album.
We as a family began watching the show when my son was born. I guess we were more into it then he was but now at 3 he loves singing along and having living room dance parties.

Great bands like Devo, Flaming Lips, Wierd Al and The Post Marks are just a few of the names lending their song styling to the 3rd album.
If you have not herd of these bands before, fear not. One walk through an Urban Outfitters and you will get it.
Its poppy, fun, inspiring and best of all I can listen to the cd's over and over with or without my kid in the car.

Download the albums at Itunes and dance!!!!
XOXO
