Bear tends to get a little chatty at bedtime and will talk about random things so he can stay up. I keep reminding Bear he can’t do that and get up early in the morning with the same energy he had

My Life as a Working From Home Mother

A question I get asked a lot is what my typical day looks like. A lot of people know I'm blogger, but very few also know I'm bestselling romance author. Yes, I don't talk about that part of my life because I try very hard to keep both my Mommy persona and my writer persona different from each other. Besides the fact that I do write books and I

My Experiment with Natural Hair (update!)

A while back, I posted how I was only going to use three products for the entire 2021 - shampoo, conditioner, and hair grease. It was a challenging feat since I'm a bit of a product junkie but I wanted to see if I could actually do it. My ultimate goal is to have bra-strap length hair so I have a bit of a ways before that happens. But

I Tried Fenty’s Butta Drop and Y’all…

So, I love everything Fenty. Well, almost everything. There are some things I don't care for but I'm not going to talk about those. I will, however, talk about something I absolutely love: Butta Drop. O.M.G., y'all! Billionairess and she-ain't-gon'-release-that-last-album-now superstar Rihanna keeps outdoing herself with the Fenty brand. I decided to treat myself (as well as my mom) with a moisturizer and Butta Drop combo. I gave my mom

How I Learned to Forgive My Bullies

Note: This is a sensitive post so if this is uncomfortable for you to read, please skip. I can look back at my life and say I was bullied throughout my educational years. Elementary, middle, high school, and even college. Hell, I was even bullied at home by family and other relatives. I was never the popular girl and honestly, I didn't want to be. I was content with

When Your Brother is Trash

It's taken me a long time to come to this conclusion but I have to call trash when I see it. This past week, I made a trip to Palm Springs to help out my parents as my mother recovered from a Covid-19 symptom procedure. While I was in Palm Springs, my brother and his youngest son came over. Long story short, my brother wanted me to watch his

It’s Our Dating Anniversary!

It was our dating anniversary on July 25th. This is not to be confused with our wedding anniversary on March 25th. Yeah, crazy about the dates, but it makes sense to us. 13 years is a very long time to be with someone. I honestly feel anything after 5 years is a commitment and anything after 10 is an investment. I'm lucky we have a lot of couple friends
