Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando.


My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind. 

All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :(

From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone.

Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road.

So my car was smashed but luckily my kids were fine. I am still suffering from a stiff neck and my son is a little sore but we are fine. This is why I think our Guardian Angle was working overtime... because things could have been worse.


  • Earlier that morning I took out the other carseat I use for my niece during the week to make more room in the trunk. If it was there ... it would have plough into the backseat harming the kids. 

  • I was suppose to pack my sister's Christmas present in the trunk (a large mosaic mirror) to take but the weight of it deterred me. If there... there would have been broken glass flying everywhere.

  • Finally just before the hit I was considering switching lanes... if attempted the possibility of the woman hitting on the side with Sydney was great. 
So this morning I want to thank God for protecting my family. I want to thank my guardian angle for working overtime to protect us ... and I am thankful no one was harmed in the accident. 

I hope everyone is careful on the wet, icy, slippery roads this season.

    WOW, I am glad you are okay! Everything happens for a reason and you have an angel watching over you for sure!
    I remember when I was in a small accident, I will admit it was not nearly as bad as this one, but I remember the panic and fear come over me (I was also rear ended) thankfully I was the only one, I don't know if I would be able to keep it together if I had children in the car

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under. My son

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Anticipating Grenada!

As most mothers and parents secretly wish, Getting away without the kids is usually hard to accomplish. But this weekend my husband and I eagerly await, A vacation in Grenada for 2, we were able to create!!!! I cannot wait for the clear blue sea, I cannot wait for it to be just him and me. I cannot wait for the sunny sky, To just lie on the beach and watch the day go by. I wish for all to be able to see, How important it is for the adults to be free. To take some time and enjoy just being together, Making sure they remember why they chose to be ... forever. My countdown for Grenada is on.... 3 days to go!!!
