It’s the beginning of a new year, so I like to start over fresh with a new reading list. Last year was a bit challenging and I didn’t get to read very many books. I was sick for the first three months of 2021 and then we decided to sell our house and move duringContinueContinue reading “What I’m Reading Lately”

A Passion For Creating
Many of us have had a lot of time on our hands since this horrible virus has come about. Although I am a mother of a 6 year old, as I have stated in other posts, I really am able to get a lot done and have enjoyed (most days) getting to spend so muchContinueContinue reading “A Passion For Creating”
Why I’ll Be Staying Inside
In many states things have began to “open back up”. Many cities like Kansas City, Missouri have put in place a slow phase in of opening back up starting as soon as this week. Here’s my thing… I’ve always kind of been a germ-a-phobe and needed my 6ft. I also never really like being inContinueContinue reading “Why I’ll Be Staying Inside”
Instagram Live Battles
There have been few things I have truly enjoyed about this pandemic, quarentin-ing, stay-at-home thing.

Now I have missed quite a few of these major ones like the first and second attemptsContinueContinue reading “Instagram Live Battles”
Quarantine Blues Part 2

“When They See Us”: From a Young Black Mother’s Prospective
It’s taken me awhile to process, digest and write about “When They See Us” the Netflix film from director Ava Duvernay. As a African-American mother to an African-American little boy, I have worried about his safety growing up since he was in my belly. I remember watching the Trayvon Martin case when I was pregnantContinueContinue reading ““When They See Us”: From a Young Black Mother’s Prospective”
Halloween Then Vs. Now
I was born in the 80’s. A carefree time where life consisted of Smurf Cartoons in the morning and watching Ninja Turtles when I got home from school. Recess was the highlight of my school day. Being an only child wasn’t lonely for me all the time. I made up imaginary worlds, drove my dollsContinueContinue reading “Halloween Then Vs. Now”
