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

Spicy Kale Salad!

NEW MONICA! via GIPHY It's amazing the stuff I can learn on Twitter. Someone posted a thread asking about the best salad recipes and well, I love myself a good salad. I found this one that I normally would've ignored but it looked promising with some ingredients I've never tried before. YOLO, right? Introducing Spicy Kale Salad. What's different about this recipe is that there are no measurements. Seriously, I

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
