How Many More Children Will be Slaughtered?

I really have no words. Buffalo was bad enough. Laguna Hills was horrifying. And now Uvalde. All within one week. This isn't normal but unfortunately, it's America's new normal. I knew after Sandy Hook the politicians no longer cared and each mass shooting proves that. I'm fed up. We need to take action. Protesting and marching are no longer doing the trick. VOTE! To the police officers who were

Best FREE Workouts for Hot Girl Summer!

I recently got into working out again and while I bristle at paying so much for a gym membership, I found a lot of success working out at home with a variety of YouTubers! Yes, YouTube! It's become a great resource for me to get into shape at home and plus, it's FREE! And we all love FREE, right? Without further adieu, let's get into my favorite YouTubers to get you

The Best Homeschool Workbooks. PERIODT.

I've written about this topic before but now is a great time for a refresh. Bear does pretty well in school; in fact, he's amazing! He currently reads at a 5th/6th grade level and is very quick with math. His writing still needs a lot of work, but he's improving by the week! Now, I'm not one of those parents who send their child to school so the teacher

Sorry, Kevin Samuels Needed to Die

So, maybe saying "sorry" is too harsh with him. I loathed that man so much, I'm not even going to waste my beautiful blog with his picture. You want to know what Satan's Child looks like, Google. I learned of Dead Samuels through various message boards and social media streams. Every time I saw a video of his - a rather scathing video attacking Black women, mind you -

New Natural Hair Challenge 2022!

Okay, I recognize it's almost May and it's probably a wee bit late to start a hair challenge this late in the game. However, since I successfully completed my last hair challenge, I needed something new to do. Now, I have to be honest with my goals here - I'm not going for a certain length, though I did previously say I wanted bra-strap length. I am going for

I Am That L.A. Mom. But am I really?

I’ve lived in L.A. for many years. I moved here back in late 2009. I moved to Pasadena around 2018. I’m not an L.A. expert by any means. I just recently found out–by accident–I can take the backroads in Pasadena to go to Glendale and skip pretty much all the freeway traffic.  I really don’t like to venture to the westside (Santa Monica, Century City, Inglewood, et al.) unless I

I tried sweetgreen the other day. And chile…

So, I used to do food delivery to make extra money and I would often get delivery orders from sweetgreen. I have no idea about the restaurant other than everything seemingly came in a bowl. The tips were always great from this place and I have to think it had something to do with how expensive it was. It is, let me correct. Recently, I decided to finally see

Should You Buy DiGiorno Crispy Pan?

So, I started buying a lot of frozen pizza lately. No reason other than I work at home a lot more now and sometimes I don't have the want to go out and get something to eat. I'm also being rather money-conscious of how much I do spend on eating out so I want to be careful about that. I've been getting more into frozen pizzas. For the record,

12 Years a Wife?

I've seen that hashtag for a while. Now, to clarify, it's a play on 12 Years a Slave, and if you've seen the movie, you wouldn't dare to use that as a hashtag to celebrate your wifedom/anniversary. So, why am I saying this? Because today is our 12-year wedding anniversary. It's been an interesting past two years. We had to deal with Covid for the big 10-year anniversary, and
