To My Day One, Sarah

I have a lot of friends, but I really only have a tight circle. One of the people in my circle, Sarah, suddenly died a short while ago. Sarah and I only met once, some years ago, but we were friends long before that. And we've been friends since that. We talked weekly. She encouraged me to do screenplays. She often bounced ideas with me about my writing. She

Happy Father’s Day and Juneteenth

I don't like getting into the whole online Twitter fingers debate on whether single moms should also celebrate Father's Day. For all I know, people are getting upset over what is essentially a Hallmark holiday. But today is the day we celebrate all the dads out there, so Happy Father's Day to them all! A special shoutout to my hubby, Maks, for being a wonderful father to our son,

30+ Cheap and FREE Summer Activities

Summer is right around the corner (and some parents like me, it's already here!). To keep your kids to be completely glued to their screens, I compiled a list of fun summer activities. I purposely chose ones that were either cheap or free because let's face it, you're going to be spending all your money on gas and groceries right now. Have fun!

The Best Meditation App YOU NEED!

I'm real big on meditation. I try to do it everyday, and especially after a good yoga session. It gives me clarity, puts my mind at ease, and plus makes me want to tackle the day and other goals. If anything else, it also makes me sleep better at night and who doesn't love that? I used to have a favorite app but it unexpectedly shut down earlier this

Lessons Learned from Heard/Deep Trial

I'll admit: I really didn't follow the trial closely (stay with me, now). It was in my face every time I turned on the TV, went on various forms of social media, etc. I was tired of it. And unlike a lot of people who said, 'Well, they both abused each other...' I beg to differ. I had no dog in that fight. Honestly, I'm a fan of Johnny

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

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 -
