Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Ever since I was a kid I loved to bake. Corn bread, cookies, lemon squares, brownies, are just some of my favorite treats to make. But with the demands of school, work, and now a toddler, baking has taken a back seat. Aside from whipping something up on special occasions, I really don’t have time…
My hubby and I have always planned on having kids. I knew that starting a family wouldn’t be easy. I’m not just referring to the financial aspects of raising a child. I’m talking about how our children would be perceived. There was a good chance that our child would have darker features like me. There…
Princess fell out of her crib a couple months ago (before fracturing her arm). I wasn’t gonna blog about it because I felt HORRIBLE. No need to flood the message boards with bad mommy comments.

There’s something about Jamaican soup that still makes me feel good to this day. Here in the states I noticed the…
After my recent post, Debating What to Do About Santa, I’ve gotten tons of feedback. Thanks to everyone who took the time out to personally call, text, and email your thoughts. I truly appreciate it. You all have given me so much to think about. My hubby and I had a long discussion about this…
I’ve been craving for Jamaican curry chicken for a while now. Between work, classes, and tending to my one year old, it’s been pretty tough to squeeze in time for some down home cookin’.
