Besides the constant cooking, cleaning, homework-helping, grocery-store running, PTA meeting-attending, playdate-hosting, and a host of other things...you're not left with a whole lot of time just for you!

An Open Letter to All Moms

Hi Mama, It's been tough, hasn't it? The pandemic, not knowing the different rules, should you vaccinate or should you not, canceling playdates, making sure you have enough money for playdates...school is starting, do you have enough money for clothing...wait a minute, did you grow out of that already?...what's for dinner? no, we had that last night...no, we had that last week...is there enough money to at least order

15 Questions to Ask Your Child After School

I always ask Bear how his day was. Sometimes, he'll go into detail and tell me everything. Sometimes, I'll be lucky if I get a few bits of info from him.

Our 13th Wedding Anniversary!

It's been a crazy 13 years. A lot of ups and downs, but it's been a solid ride overall. The one thing I can take from marriage is there must be a lot of communication and compromise.

How We Celebrated Sushi’s 12th Birthday

Not everyday do we have a cat in her elder years. We've had Sushi since 2011 and she's been entertaining, to say the least. She's been our protector, our entertainment, our annoyance at times, but most of all, she's been everything. I can't imagine life without her and quite frankly, I don't want to. We decided to go a little 'big' for her birthday. We posted her on YouTube

The Only Self-Help Book You Need to Read

My latest Etsy purchases! (And why you should get them too!)

I love Etsy. It's like a form of crack to me. I try not to go on there too often because there's a 99% chance I will buy something. I can stroll through Nordstrom or Target and probably won't leave with something. But with Etsy? It's a guarantee I'll always get something. And I got four new favorite things and two are from my favorite Black-owned shops! Let's

Bear was featured in an Ukrainian Magazine!

Bae (@caliwinter) took pictures of various Ukrainian rallies he attended last year and Bear would often tag along with him. One of the photos was featured in Plivka People Magazine (@plivkapeoplemag) that had Bear wrapped up in the Ukrainian flag! I'm so proud of them both!
