I have to say it was rather endearing - at first - to be labeled a boy mom. I'm a mother of a boy, so yeah, boy mom. Sweet and simple. When Bear was younger, he often went with me everywhere - we constantly had park dates, McDonald's dates, and frequently lunch and dinner dates. He was rather known around our old city of Highland Park. It was very
So, a few months back, a widely-reported news story about how Lunchables will probably kill you. I was horrified after reading that story since I've always given Bear Lunchables for his weekly lunch. Well, since that's been out of the question, I've been making homemade lunchables for Bear for the better part of the year.
And I must say, I should've done this sooner.
Not only does Bear get
I usually make homemade moonshine for the winter. Usually, we're all home and we're practicing being #teamcozy for the winter. But it's been so darn hot lately (we're hitting an average of 100 degree temps) and when it's that hot, you really can't leave and do anything.
Enter peach moonshine.
This recipe is perfect for cookouts, or just lounging in the backyard, patio, or even in front of the steps
I debated if I wanted to do a post on this horrifying case of police brutality and murder against Sonya Massey. It seems no lessons were learned from the many police brutality cases that have come before her and many lessons will not be learned from this.
Still, as a Black woman living in America, this cases rings too close to home. How many times have I called the
I often switch out my handbags depending on the season and the mood. While I don't tend to carry a whole lot of stuff (the vast majority I ever carry would be Bear's iPad, which is not currently pictured), I thought it would be fun to show y'all what's usually in my bag.
Let's go!
Let's start with the obvious - Hello Kitty by Loungefly

I remember learning cursive writing in 3rd grade and before I became a mom, I thought it was just something every school still did. To my chagrin, cursive writing was pulled out of schools, only to reverse course years later.
The beautiful thing about being a parent is parental choice. While it has rightfully gained a negative connotation, I'm using this as a positive thing. Over the course of
The term self-care has really kicked in a lot over the past five years due to a variety of reasons. People realizing they don't have to be online as much as they need to. People realizing they probably don't need all those items they own. People realizing they need to be outdoors more.
But what is self-care? It is the practice of taking care of oneself to preserve
Father's Day is around the corner. And while traditionally, the Father's Day gifts have been along the lines of a necktie, coffee mug, golf-related items, and maybe a massage chair, things have been considerably better over the years.
If you know a father who doesn't want the stereotypical items like a tie, a mug, and some other wackalicious things, and wouldn't mind having something a bit kooky, check out
Tupac was right.

I've debated if I wanted to say something about Puffy, as I've always known him as and still called him that. I've heard rumors for years, decades even, that he was abusive to every woman he'd ever been associated with (including that rather famous one that Mariah Carey does not know).
The newly uncovered video only confirmed what many people have known for years - Puffy is
