You Need to Visit My Ksenfully Good Etsy Store !

Hello Family! The Ksenfully Good Etsy store is officially back up and running! A year ago, I launched the Ksenfully Good Etsy store but took it down because I wasn't serious about it. You know how you get an amazing idea and it's still stuck in that place of being a good idea and actually executing it? Yeah, I was there. But after some soul-searching and realizing where I

The Christmas Gnomes Coloring Book You Need to Purchase!

Hello family! I'm back with yet another book for you and your family. This time, it's a coloring book! I know Christmas is still quite a few weeks away, but it's never too early to get started on shopping for your family nights or just things to do around the house. Christmas is about celebrating family, seeing loved ones, going on trips (possibly!), and just reconnecting and resetting. And honestly?

The Best Five Podcasts for Black Moms

I'm just getting into podcasts; yes, I know I'm super 2000 and late with this. But I'm picky about my podcasts. I just got into true crime (I'll do another post on my favorite true crime podcasts later), and I follow quite a few writing podcasts, but this is a Black mom blog and let's get into my favorite Black mom podcasts.

These 8 Things Could Be Holding You Back from Happiness

Manifestation. It seems that's the in-word nowadays. People want to manifest peace. Others want to manifest money. Some want to manifest good grades. We all have something we desire, and manifesting seems the way to go. While it's become an "in thing", manifestation is nothing new. If you pray, that's manifesting. If you put something out in the universe, that's manifesting. Manifesting comes in different forms and many people

Grief Journal for Sale!

I decided to channel my grief into helping others. As I started to think about the rather complicated relationship I had with my father, I realized a lot of it was complex. And it was because my father was a complex individual. He grew up in Watts during the 1950s.

We Survived the Great HurriQuake 2023! Here’s Our Tips!

Over the weekend, Southern California (L.A., San Diego, the Inland Empire, and the Coachella Valley) received some of the heaviest rain ever....and an earthquake on top of it. Yeah. Top that, Florida! While it wasn't that bad for us in Pasadena, there were many other areas that were severely impacted - including my hometown of Palm Springs. So, what are my tips for staying inside and bracing for two

The War on Ukraine through a Black Journalist’s Eyes

If you're not familiar with Terrell Starr, you should be. He's an American scholar/independent journalist who lives in Ukraine and has covered both invasions from Russia on Ukraine. I should add, he's a Black American journalist. The worldwide media, I feel, intentionally covered the Russian invasion of Ukraine as evil white people killing poor white people. Ukraine, however, is a lot more diverse than that. There are Latino Ukrainians,

20 Solo Things You Can Do At Home

So, in the last post, I talked about the things you can do at home as a family on super hot days. It's time to talk about things you can at home solo. Maybe you have some free time alone or maybe you just need to chill for a bit. Now, you could catch up on cleaning, Netflix (or whatever streaming app you prefer), or just sleep (I highly

Need to Save Some Money for School? Check out These Sales!

Yes, it's that wonderful time of the year already. ALREADY. It seems like the summer literally just got started before we were bombarded with back-to-school sales. For some of you, this might be too soon as you have a bit of a ways to go before school is back in session. For others, like myself, school is around the corner and it wouldn't help but to get a head
