Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Ever since becoming a natural, braidouts have become my go-to-hairstyle. Now that my mane has grown out a bit, I find myself experimenting with different hairdos. The main challenge that I’ve come across is trying to achieve cute styles in a short period of time. So, I’ve come up with an elegant retro style that…
Fourth of July has always been a dual celebration in our family. It so happens that my Mom’s birthday is on the second. So, we often find ourselves killing two birds with one stone. She’s always been simple and low key. When it comes to planning a celebration, she’d much rather have the family over…

When the director of daycare approached me about Baby O moving up to the next level, you’d think I’d be ecstatic! Why am I not over the moon, you might ask? Well for starters, he just got there! Okay, maybe he’s been there for about seven months. But, so what? Alright, I’ll admit it. It’s…
The plan was to sleep in on Mother’s Day. But, for some reason my eyes popped open at 9am. I didn’t get breakfast in bed. But, that’s ok because I was still stuffed from the big dinner we had the night before. After a quick call to wish my Mom a Happy Mother’s Day, I…
