The Best Book You’re Not Reading.

Seriously, you're probably not reading this gem. I'm an avid reader. Since I'm also a writer, it's imperative that I read a lot as well. It was my original goal to read a book every week this year. I won't quite make that goal, but I'll be very close to it by the end of the year - almost 40 books. Not too shabby, right? Out of all of

My Birthday Playlist!

Every year, on my birthday, I create a playlist. Some of the music has changed while most have remained the same. It's a playlist I listen to often and it make me happy because why not? It's a playlist of songs for literally every year I was born! I'm so happy to share this with you all and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Dear Boy Moms, Please Grow TF UP.

I have to say it was rather endearing - at first - to be labeled a boy mom. I'm a mother of a boy, so yeah, boy mom. Sweet and simple. When Bear was younger, he often went with me everywhere - we constantly had park dates, McDonald's dates, and frequently lunch and dinner dates. He was rather known around our old city of Highland Park. It was very

How to Make Your Own Lunchables

So, a few months back, a widely-reported news story about how Lunchables will probably kill you. I was horrified after reading that story since I've always given Bear Lunchables for his weekly lunch. Well, since that's been out of the question, I've been making homemade lunchables for Bear for the better part of the year. And I must say, I should've done this sooner. Not only does Bear get

My White Friends Won’t Talk About #SonyaMassey and I’m OK With That.

I debated if I wanted to do a post on this horrifying case of police brutality and murder against Sonya Massey. It seems no lessons were learned from the many police brutality cases that have come before her and many lessons will not be learned from this. Still, as a Black woman living in America, this cases rings too close to home. How many times have I called the

My Hello Kitty Bag and its Many Things!

I often switch out my handbags depending on the season and the mood. While I don't tend to carry a whole lot of stuff (the vast majority I ever carry would be Bear's iPad, which is not currently pictured), I thought it would be fun to show y'all what's usually in my bag. Let's go! Let's start with the obvious - Hello Kitty by Loungefly Maks gifted me this handbag

New Month, New You: Self-Care Tips You Can Use!

The term self-care has really kicked in a lot over the past five years due to a variety of reasons. People realizing they don't have to be online as much as they need to. People realizing they probably don't need all those items they own. People realizing they need to be outdoors more. But what is self-care? It is the practice of taking care of oneself to preserve

Weird, But Cool Father’s Day Gifts from Amazon!

Father's Day is around the corner. And while traditionally, the Father's Day gifts have been along the lines of a necktie, coffee mug, golf-related items, and maybe a massage chair, things have been considerably better over the years. If you know a father who doesn't want the stereotypical items like a tie, a mug, and some other wackalicious things, and wouldn't mind having something a bit kooky, check out
