A Look Back

11/09/10 | My Life

As I inch towards my baby girl's first birthday, I am looking back to the journal I have kept since we found out we were having her.  It's amazing that a year has gone by and now I can hold her and cuddle her and love her all I want to (and I am not on bed rest: thank you Jesus!).  Here's what I said to my frog princess exactly one year ago. 11/09/09 (2:15 p.m.) Okay so your showers are ...

Confessions of a Skinny Bitch

11/08/10 | My Life

Confessions of a skinny bitch...

I am a skinny bitch.  I mean let's call it like it is. I'm the chick you give the evil eye to when you're at the gym (if, let's say, I still had my gym membership). I'm the girl whose friends call her skinny bitch to her face and think nothing of it. I've always kept my mouth shut about being thin. Apologizing, without knowing , for the way I look. I avert my eyes when someone speaks about ...

Not Yo Mama’s Candyland and Other Halloween Memories

11/05/10 | My Life

This year marked the frog princess’s first Halloween!  She dressed up in homage to her nickname and lived up to the expectations.  I went through a bout of guilt for not buying an out-of-the-box costume thanks to a few comments from those near and dear to me who apparently don’t  realize that lately I’ve been hanging on by a string.  But, I digress. ...

Mami Mementos

11/02/10 | My Life

(caution, this may cause feelings of mushiness) As we approach the frog princess's 1st birthday, I am looking back and reading the journal I've been keeping for her since I was pregnant. I didn't write as often as I liked but, a few things have caught my attention.  Sometimes I read some things and think: holy crap! Did I write that?  This is one of those. The thing I love about writing is ...

Got Costume?

10/30/10 | My Life

That pretty girl Tiffany over at SITS got me thinking about Halloween (they're having a giveaway for a brand spanking new Canon that I hope to win so that I can take great pics of a certain little someone's 1st birthday).  This is my first Halloween with my frog princess (who incidentally will be dressed as a frog princess tomorrow complete with a fabulous tutu from Lizzy's Boutique). I always ...

Scents and Sensibility

10/29/10 | My Life

I smell piss. I have smelled it for a couple of days but couldn't find it. At first I thought maybe it was my imagination (I have a strong affinity for smells). I have also been looking for a couple of days. It is not the frog princess's pee though. It is Chico Mendes. I have nearly passed out 3 different times from sniffing and bending down to figure out where the smell is coming from. I've ...

  • #TBT to when I got my first taste of purple. Get ready because the purple might make a comeback in 2020. Ima need @crownpaint_colors to make a 20lb jar for me...lol 😁 #PurpleHair
  • The Frog Princess loves crystals. She's had the 2 hearts tucked under her pillow these last 2 days she's been under the weather.  I'd been holding on to the hematite for a minute and just gave it to her.

Whenever I used to travel west, I would find crystal hearts at the airports. It became a thing for a while. Since then, we've upgraded to our crystal dealer, @homegirlporvida. I've tasked baby girl with taking inventory of her crystals while she is home with the flu to give us something fun and creative to focus on. Here's hoping for a super speedy recovery. #putitintheuniverse #FrogPrincess #MagicalGirl
  • This is not a drill! Baby girl has the flu. 😷

Time to grab chicken soup ingredients, more honey for my aloe concoction, ice cream for my immune system and the Tamiflu script. 🎶Just another day, living I'm the 'hood. Just another day around the way.🎵 #Mamihood
  • I'm on defcon 3. What should've been a fun "Frog Princess and Mami" day has turned into a fever watch and nap day. It seems like it's just a passing cold but, my guard doesn't go down until the fever is all the way gone.

Thankfully, all has been quiet. Though it has been 2+ years since her last #febrileseizure, I'm still on high alert. #Mamihood
  • When I learned about @openbookfoundation I was in awe! Their mission? To bridge the literacy gap amongst low-income elementary schools. To date, 200,000 books have been donated to elementary schools. 
When they pinged me about a giveaway of @michelleobama's book, I wasn't sure what I would do. Then, all of a sudden it hit me! Who is my favoritest teacher that continually amazes me?! So today, I'd like to say a great big thanks to the foundation for providing me with a gift card to be able to provide 5 copies of Becoming to the student library of @hustlesway. Kymberli, thank you for all you do. Your student library is just what the kids need and exactly what we need to see out in this world. You are changing lives and the impact on our future is apparent! Happy reading to your students! #BecauseofHer #MamiReads #TeachersRock #letsreads
