Have you seen the IG Reels and memes of moms wanting to be left the F alone on Mother’s Day? Couldn’t be more true now being a mom of two. LOL. But of course, our little wild baby got sick so the day I get to not answer to anyone had to wait another year,Read More
Pregnancy #2 Update: Second Trimester
I cannot believe my second trimester ended and I am now in my third trimester. It’s true when they say second pregnancy goes by so much quicker, even during quarantine. 😛 I feel like it was yesterday when I found out we are expecting! Now I have less than three months to go. While IRead More
Currently Reading: Toddler Books
Reading is one of our favorite activities to do with our 3 year old daughter. It is fun, educational, intimate and it passes time! Let’s be real, if you have a toddler, every second needs to be occupied with something! Am I right??? Every two weeks, we make a trip to our local library asRead More
Love is in the air!
It’s Valentine’s Day week y’all! I know it’s a made-up Hallmark holiday but I love seeing pink and red hearts everywhere! Sadly for my little pumpkin, she came down with a nasty cold this past weekend (crossing fingers it’s not the flu), so it’s been little rough around our household. But she’s been a trooperRead More
Emma’s Baptism
Unlike the Catholic norm, we didn’t baptize Em when she was an infant. We had various reasons as to why her baptism was “delayed”; however, I am so glad that she was a bit older because she got to experience the day herself. This is so special because she’ll have memories of this day andRead More
Mom Tribes Roll Deep
Once you become a mom, you are initiated into a secret group of women connected by one thing and one thing only, motherhood. It doesn’t matter if you were pregnant and gave birth or if you had a surrogate or if you adopted. Once you become a mother, you find an instant connection with a motherRead More
To Emma (Letter #3)
My dearest Emma, This morning you said something that burst my heart with so much love and joy. You said, “mom, you are my best friend.” You have never said that to me before but you uttered those words with clarity and sincerity. You are my best friend too, Emma. I will always be yourRead More
Toddler Relationships
Have you ever observed how your kids play with other kids? For Em, it wasn’t until about 2 years old that she actually played with others. We had plenty of play dates when she was younger, but they didn’t actually play together. It was more so being in the same room but doing their ownRead More
Sunflowers at Dorothea Dix Park
This is a very belated post since sunflowers are long gone by now, but I still wanted to share our sunflower field experience at Dorothea Dix Park. Prior to this year, sunflowers were next to the greenway along Old Baucom Road in Southeast Raleigh and not intended for the public. Due to popular demands andRead More
Lash Lift at Blue Water Spa
Wouldn’t it be nice to be blessed with natural long, thick, luscious eyelashes? Perhaps you were born with it, but for me, help is definitely needed. Before becoming a mom, I had all the time in the world to glam up. I’m talking full face makeup, from face primer to fake lashes. Nowadays, my makeupRead More
