Who Said I Have to Stay Home?
Not my best photo. Tired, kinda stretched thin, but I wanted y’all to see my hair growth 🙂😅. I went to see @mo_hair_fashion for a trim a few weeks ago, and since then my hair has grown. So funny, I had been avoiding a trim, because I didn&rs

Surviving Summer 2020 as a Black Mother
Surviving Summer 2020 as a Black Mother

I see my children, my mouthy but smart daughter who has the most extensive vocabulary for a 5 year old, and my rambunctious but charmingly persistent son, who will climb and fall until he falls no more. I worry about how they will be perceived in the world. When you’re black, your skin tends to show before your qualities do. Being black is the first impression. It is your descriptor.

The views are almost unreal, and it seriously is so perfect for a romantic little getaway.

Dealing With My Postpartum Body Image

When I came home from the hospital, and looked at my body in the mirror, I felt gross.  I had delivered a beautiful, healthy baby boy, but if you were to see me, you’d think I was still carrying him.  I knew it was stupid of me to obsess over my body just days after my delivery, but I did.
