So, having 2 boys, I run into all kind of situations that are foreign to me. Obviously, because I’m not a boy.
Most recently, tennis shoes.
Here are Morris’s tennis shoes after 2 months of wear:
Here are my tennis shoes, same name brand and style, however I have had mine for 7 YEARS:
Having boys is just gonna take some time getting use to.
Moms have invented many great things, the sippy cup straw cleaner, tinkle targets, the beverage barricade, even Crocs widgets. And while these are all wonderful mommy inventions, my award for mommy invention of the century goes to SIMONE I SMITH. Simone is the ingenious creator of the perfect hoop earrings! ♥♥APPLAUSE APPLAUSE♥♥ Simone, moms across [...]
I get a lot of emails from moms who are worried about their baby weight after giving birth. I understand where they’re coming from. As women we wanna look and feel good, especially after having a baby. I get big when I’m pregnant. I mean REALLY BIG. I’m not one of those women who look [...]
I remember being pregnant with Mo and buying EVERY SINGLE baby gimmick and gadget on the market. Really? Did I need a singing diaper bag or swarvoski crystal paci holder? SMH. After having Bronson, I realized there are only a few essentials new moms need. They are cool inventions, yet very basic and reasonably priced [...]
I remember when I was a little girl, I used to watch The Price Is Right and idolize the beautiful Barker’s Beauties. My favorite was HOLLY (Hallstrom). She was so funny and somewhat accident prone like myself. Then in 1990, Kathleen Bradley became the 1st permanent African-American model on the show. I was very excited [...]
The main reason I chose to raise my sons in California is because of the beach diversity. Growing up multiracial in the South taught me a lot, but umm…..I didn’t want my boys to grow up thinking the term “good hair” was a common word in Webster’s Dictionary. Mo and B both have their own [...]
I normally don’t talk about my personal life (or lack of…) but I get so many questions about how to move on after a divorce. There are a ton of books, specialists, and websites that tackle this, I didn’t use any. I can only say what worked for me. My marriage was doomed from the [...]
The following post originated on another blog, From Dates to Diapers and Beyond. It was written by Michael Mitchell. It’s a great list of 50 things a dad should do with his daughter. As I read the list, I couldn’t help but to reminisce and think about my own dad and all the wonderful childhood [...]
As a mom I am always inspired by other moms. I learn from their parenting method, attitude, and journey. I have a great group of mom friends that keep me going. I always love meeting new moms so I can continue to grow. As an athlete, my son is inspired by other athletes. He knows [...]
Being at the 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game was like a dream for me. I got to see the beautiful city of Houston for the 1st time and I ♥looooove♥ March Madness. UConn defeated Butler 53-41. The game was a little lackluster. This comes from someone who grew up watching run and gun offenses of [...]
Spring is here!!! That means time to throw out the thick heavy mommy sweats and hoodies and break out the not so thick heavy mommy sweats and tanks. Which really means, better put away some of the junk food and hit the gym! I’m not a gym rat, I do the basics to get by. [...]
