Raising Children to Weather the Storm
You may remember our some of our Disney inspired hairstyles last summer. Princess and I love experimenting with different looks – from dutch braids, to french braids and buns, we’ve tried them all. But with the cold season upon us, I find that we’ve been keeping her hairstyles really simple. So when my little fashionista told me she wanted…
I’m embarrassed to say that the last time my hubby and I had date night was when we celebrated our wedding anniversary last June. I know, that’s sad. That said, one of our goals for the new year is to get back in the dating game, and this past past weekend we had our first date night of 2015. Let’s face;…

Those of you that think kids don’t see color, think again! At three-years-old, Princess started talking about it– differentiating between white and brown grandma. I knew then that there would be plenty of conversations about race, so it was no surprise when she asked about her own skin color. I knew that helping my daughter find…
There hasn’t been much snow this season – thank goodness. Driving in snow is not my cup of tea, cleaning it off my car isn’t something I look forward to either. But the one thing I love about the snow is seeing the look on Princess’s face when those flakes fall from the sky, turning our…
I’ve been a hustler since the age of 14. Before my TV gigs, I worked as a candy striper, telemarketer, babysitter, retail sales person, substitute teacher, model, you name it. I worked my butt off!
