Beautiful Brown Girls: Get Ready

by

Baby talk is all around me. When everybody isn’t asking me when we’re having another one… I’m finding out someone is pregnant. I know so many mama’s-to-be it’s pretty crazy. I also have friends who are trying to get pregnant and others who are just thinking about starting a family. I’m surrounded by bambino talk. […] Read more…

No Buts About It

by

For me, motherhood came with a lot of questions. What is labor really like? How does breastfeeding work? How am I supposed to function with no sleep? I’ve learned along the way that some things you just have to figure out for yourself. Everybody is different and so are their experiences. That being said, I’ve […] Read more…

Just a Thought

Before I had my son, I had all these grand ideas of the things I was going to do to be the perfect mommy. I was going to keep a mommy journal of all of the changes that come with being his mother. I was going to keep up with his baby book and have […] Read more…

Best Birthday Gift I Ever Got

I Was Nearly Naked

by

I have expressed my love for Groupon type sites in the past. I can’t seem to pass up a good deal. So far they’ve been working out pretty well for me. I’ve enjoyed going places and discovering things in L.A that I’d never heard of. Last week I was rushing to use a deal before […] Read more…

All By Myself

by

Last week, I was rolling solo. My husband was out of town for work for the WHOLE week! Our son and our dog were keeping me more than busy. In the days leading up to my husbands trip, I was getting pretty anxious. I knew what I was in for and it wasn’t going to […] Read more…

It Might Become a Habit…

by

July is the start of celebration mode in our house. Our anniversary is in July and birthdays and holidays follow for the rest of the year. My husband celebrated his birthday last month.
