Let's be Real Boo

       Today is Monday, March 4th. 2018. The kids have no school today. We stayed up late last night enjoying 3 movies and slept in until 10am! I am about to drop the little homiez at their father's house and as I was getting stuff ready, I looked over and saw Luca grab his school belt to put in his backpack to take to his father's house. For some reason this hurt me. To see his little hands grab his school belt and lunch back to put in his school bag to make sure they have it at the other house made me feel some type of way. I kills me every time my boys leave my house to know that they have to go back and forth.  They are growing up so fast and are starting to have responsibilities now. Their responsibilities and worries shouldn't be making sure that they remember to bring their school belts and lunch bags to the other house. I don't know. I am still trying to get use to this 50/50 custody thing and I just hurt for my kids that they have to go back and forth. ...

     Today I threw my son his 9th birthday party! I invited all his classmates, friends, family, and also his father side of the family because they are still family to me and I don't believe in having separate birthday parties unless there's some crazy tension between the parents etc.... Last year their father and I split the bill and to tell you the truth it was so stressful because he kept on looking at every single food that was coming out and telling me if it's necessary for all this food, and I said yes because you would to have more than enough than not enough.       The party was great, and my son had such a great time with everyone! It was a little hard at first because I really thought that their father and I would be able to talk and maybe take some family photos for my son, but he didn't even want to talk to me or acknowledge me. Honestly if you are going to be that way, why come? I don't care what you have against me, but we are still parents ...

 I had my first mommy and me session with the boys! I haven't took photos with them since they were 3 years old! This session meant so much to me! I have gone through so much this past couple of years and all I wanted was a session of just me and my boys.   I had everything planned out in my head! As a photographer myself, I wanted this session to be PERFECT so this was my list that I had: coordinating outfits  hair and makeup  boys haircuts make sure I don't have bags in my eyes  shave legs and pits  do nails The list goes on......... I reached out to my talented Momma friend Kristina from Nohea Photography and asked if she would be able to do our session.  I am so glade to have her  shoot for us! Kristina was amazing!!! She read my mind, and she also reminded me that the list I had doesn't make  a perfect session. For the perfect session, all I needed was the boys and ME!  Prior to the session I had a tough week. Dealing...

8.6.2018 .. Man.... finally!  I feel like a HUGE load has been lifted off my shoulders! I have been divorced for almost a year, and before that I was separated for 2 years. I moved out of my house May 2017, and was living with my sister for almost a year. I moved out and got my own place Jan 2018!! since may 2017 I rented a storage unit with all my stuff but I also had some more stuff at my old house. Well, today I finally got the rest of my stuff out of that house! I mean it was a weird moment with negativity when it got dropped off but I kept my cool and I imagined myself as a tree with strong roots! Roots that dug deep into the ground, and impossible to be knocked over. After getting all the stuff what I wanted, and to see that negative energy drive off all huffin and puffin make made me smile. Made me smile because I finally got my stuff and also made me smile because I not longer felt stuck. I no longer felt like the bad juju had something over my head!   Now the nex...

  I have been a single mom for about year now and I am not going to lie, it is fucken hard. There are times where I am talking to myself and doubting everything, but there are also times where I am telling myself that I got this and I know I will and can do this!  I have bee living at my new apartment now for almost 3 months and it has been great for my kids but it has been a little of a struggle for me. That's okay though right? That's what single parents have to go through right? I don't know, I am always asking myself that. I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years and my boys are now 8. I am not doing photography full time, teach fitness class in the mornings part time, and still trying my best to promote Arbonne because I love their stuff. Why do I do all of this when I should be getting a REAL JOB( that's what my ex would say) Well, because this allows me to be there for my kids still. I am still able to pick them up when they are sick. I am able to stay home wi...

    Today is a very special Anniversary for me. It is my One year Derby-versary! One year ago I did something that was completely out of my freaken out of my comfort zone! I joined Roller Derby! I was going through a tough time with my marriage at the time and just wanted to do stuff for myself. I had a bucket list of things to do and try. Things that I have always wanted to try but never got the chance to or the guts to! I put up a post about wanting to try a session with roller derby, got an email from a gal name Jabber ( which at the time I was like, who would name their child Jabber LOL, not knowing that Derby players have nicknames!) Stopped by to check out her League High Tide, the following week stepped on the track with some skates on Feb.13th 2017 and from that moment it was never just a session! I was scared shitless because this was something totally out of my comfort zone!     This was the first time I tried something where I didn't know anyone or anythi...

   Sept. 23rd  2017 is something that I have been waiting for and also in a way have been  dreading about. Today is the day that my divorce is finalized. Today is the day where I am no longer stuck and trapped in a marriage where I felt so alone and confused about. The reason why I said dreading is because it's reality. I don't hurt for me, I hurt for my children. My two boys. Their mommy and daddy are no longer married. No more waking up to seeing us together, no more having family dinners, no more coming home to see both parents at the same house.. I know that this is a process and it will take some time to get use to and time to help the kids and I heal from but I do know that this is the best choice. I am going to show my boys the true meaning of unconditional love. I need to make sure that I am happy so that I can be the best mommy for them. Things are going to change dramatically but I know I will get through it because I am a fighter, I am strong, and I am de...

Hello!! Okay I am back!! It's time for a fresh new start! I have been going  10000 miles an hour since Jan and I am ready to now take a deep breathe and chill!! I have so many great things and adventures coming up and I can't wait to share it with everyone! Everything I do is truly for myself and for my two little homiez that I love more than anything!!! Holla, Dolly Rossi

Wow, hello 2017!! I have been so in and out in 2016!! This time I won't be because I am a new Dolly! I can honestly say that I found myself! Let's take over 2017 together! Cheers, Dolly Rossi

Hello! The New Year is almost here! I can't believe it! I wanted to share something with you. I went on a detox cleanse right after Thanksgiving! Everyone was giving me different opinions and advice what to do and what not to do. I heard about juicing over and over, and honestly I wasn't feeling it and did not have the need to do that. I have nothing against it at all, I just don't want to be having runs for a week. Straight up! Anyways, a great Momma Chef name Jenny Ross owns a Raw Vegan restaurant called, " 118 degrees, " and , " Be Well Kitchen," in Santa Ana. I contacted her and signed up for their detox program.  7 days of raw vegan meals prepared for me. It have to admit it was a little tough because I am very active with training and always running around so I also had to up my protein in different ways besides eating chicken. So 7 days of 3 meals a day prepared for me, LOTS of water, PLENTY of rest, Determination, and I did it! No bloating, lo...

Trust the path that your heart tells you to.  Had such a beautiful jog this morning after dropping off the little homiez. Didn't feel like running today but I'm so glad that I did.  Now off to do what  I love To do and that's making people sweat😉 Happy Tuesday. #path #whatsyourpath #running #morning #goodmorning #morningjog #fitnessdolls #beautiful #beproductive #tuesday #relaxed

Trying To bring that sexy back  One Rep a time! My mommy told me that my muscles are starting to make me look like a man. I just her that she's  straight up jealous and being a hater😂 I know that she doesn't want noodle arms either and secretly  wants me to train her. ssshhiieetttt... #crazymom #musclesaresexy #strongmom #fitnessdolls #momswithmuscle #mommapower #fitnessdolls #hatersgonnahate #onerepatatime #mommode #fitnessfriday #flexfriday #backday #bringingsexyback

I absolutely  love being a personal trainer.  I get to meet so many great women and make new friendships.  To know that I inspire someone is truly a blessing.  I am a full time mom, photographer and personal trainer.  These are not work for me because if you love what you do then you don't have to work a day in your life♡

I love  cooking with bright veggies! It kind of brings your dinner to life! I used  coconut oil to sauté  the veggies,  threw in some ground turkey added some salt and pepper and a tbsp of sauce  and there you have it =) served with quiona. My boys loved it!! You can add whatever seasoning you like, but try not to put too much salt etc...because you want to appreciate the natural flavors from the veggies!

A little thought for tonight. I'm not really a blogger or a writer so I am just going to go with the flow and let my heart speak for itself. I have been going through a crazy emotional roller coaster ride for the past couple of year's and this year it has just been cuuccooo!!! I just have to say that there have been people in my life that have been just tearing me down and hurting me. So negative in every way! I know we all deal with people like this daily and I always say let them go and move on right? I just need to take a deep breath because I am no longer going to take this crazy emotional abuse and going to fly! So to the negative poo poo head's, You are not going to bring me down anymore, nor hold me down from flying, cause this momma don't give a shit and I'mma do me! HOLLA

Meal prep on Monday so I had delicious  and healthy meals for me for the week!  Meal prepping  saves me time and money and it is so worth it if  you're a busy momma  like me♡ had some fun gym sessions as well with some great Positive  women. I am a full time  mommy and I have two businesses, so I make sure I plan everything around my exercise. It is so important to me to get my exercise  in my daily activities.  Have a great labor day weekend ♡

Just because you're a mom, doesn't mean that you can't have a gf  getaway!!! It is so important to have time to yourself! Once a year I have a girl's  Vegas trip to relax, hang by the pool, and literally sleep in because those blackout  curtains in the hotel rooms are no joke!!!!  Yes I did feel guilty at first, but then you know what? The kids are taken care of and this will help me rejuvenate  and get ready for their crazy school year! So mommas, make time for yourself! Have a one night getaway and live♡

Some mommma's have told me that they don't want to lift weights because they don't want to look like a man! Momma's that is so not true! You won't grow balls and a dong from it! I promise!!! Lifting weights will help you burn calories and sculpt your body =) Don't be scared!! Holla!!
