Such a provocative title, but I assure you it’s nothing political. Just some thoughts I had on how uncomfortable this makes me and many others. I breastfed with my daughter and when in the privacy of my own home I was all out with them, I could never imagine doing that outside of my home. I always covered my daughters face or went somewhere private. I definitely applaud those women…
I can go on and on about how society today is very different from when I was growing up, but what’s the point? We all get it and know that social media consumes all of us. Many people seek that attention from those close to them and even strangers because it makes them feel good about themselves that people care about what’s going on in their lives. There’s a disease…
Best Apps for Working Moms The number of working mothers in the US has increased over the years. A recent report by the Pew Foundation discloses not only are the number of working moms increasing but the amount of households where the women are the sole or primary income provider in a record 40 percent of households with children in, that’s nearly four times the rate from 1960. Being a…
My family absolutely loves the water and the beach. We bought my daughter for the first time last year and she’s taken up on our love for the water as well. However, it’s still very scary especially for a child who doesn’t know that water– although amazing sometimes has deathly consequences. When I read about Secondary drowning (also called dry drowning) on Yahoo Shine! I knew I had to share…
Being a mother is no easy task, being a parent period is one of the hardest jobs ever especially if you’re actually involved in your child’s life. It’s one of the joyous moments in life when you help create your mini-me and watch them grow everyday into someone you love so much you can’t even help it. However, although many love their children they don’t want to take responsibility for…
As many of you know who follow my daily vlog () are aware that this past weekend my family attended the early premiere of in Times Square. The adventure to not only see the movies, but taking Ziana to see her first movie was exciting! Oh, and FYI if you didn’t know (like me) Mr. Peabody & Sherman was based on a character from the Peabody’s Improbable History segments of…
Growing up I know we’ve all gone through the bullies and people saying real nasty and hurtful things to us– it’s inevitable. What’s even worse is that although we might raise our children one way; such as being kind and saying kind words, they do hear “tacky” language and are exposed to behavior we would never dare expose them to from other children we have no control over. I was…
Losing weight while breastfeeding This is a question I’ve been asked so many times due to my experience with Z. And I’ve always been hesitant to give a definite answer. We’ve all been told that an upside to breast feeding was to lose weight faster and I think this tall-tale was told mostly to encourage mothers to do so. After careful deliberation I’ve decided that it’s all different for every…
Life as a parent of a toddler is hard, exhausting, but usually always funny when you look back on it– 1. You dream of their favorite show like Sesame Street and secretly– or not secretly become obsessed. 2. You stay up watching Sesame Street or Fresh Beat Band way after they’ve been sleeping. 3. You start crying inconsolably like little one because you both don’t know what you want, haha.…
Wow, I haven’t written a parenting post in quite a while. I suppose it’s because I’ve been visually documenting my life with Z on my YouTube channel so you get to see my life up close and personal. Yesterday on my channel I showed everyone Ziana’s 12-month photo montage that I had put up for her Safari Birthday party and my geez! The changes this kid has gone through physically…
I finally know why some woman have so many children! Z is 18 months and everyday she has made me smile, laugh, mad and cry. Yes, an 18-month-old baby makes me cry. Now it’s not an everyday thing, but once in awhile I get choked up. You sit and wait for your child to hit each milestone and even push for it to happen because them doing something as simple…
