Welcome to My Mamihood…

09/29/10 | My Life

I wanted my mamihood to be glamorous! Heels, seasonal dresses and the hair properly done in the manner which I was accustomed to. But alas, that is not how it is meant to be.

Half the time I have some sort of puke or drool on my outfit and although Tameka Sparrow (Salon Namora) tries her best to keep me looking fly, I’ll be lucky if my hair makes it to her hands once a month.

As I type this I am berating myself for being reckless enough to actually be awake @ 12:15 a.m. after the frog princess, now almost 10 months old, has had a bout of an insane sleep schedule in the last couple of weeks. But, that’s me: reckless. Well, not really.

I am a Mami. And I love it. Even with drool on my clothes and my hair out of place, I can’t think of any other job I would love to have more than this one. And I think it’s about time I began to chronicle this wonderful, scary, exhilarating journey that I have been blessed with. Oh and I am also: late to everything these days, exhausted, giddy with joy, an IT project manager during daylight hours, a lactivist (I’ll blog about this later), a partner, a daughter, a sister, a friend and dammit still beautiful, exciting and completely in love with this crazy life of mine.

So, welcome to my mamihood!

  • Sitting, praying, studying. And deeply understanding that this is how it has been. But I'm also understanding that, now more than ever, this is how it will always be. #MaferefunOya #IyawoChronicles
  • Do you know I have a slight #FunkoPop obsession? And @the_pop_lady is one of my faves! I've been living vicariously through her at @toyfair_ny.

I'm super happy that she got to go! Then! I see she has this  #ThePOPLadyGiveaway and I'm like OHHHHH! Let me bring this #FunkoGiveaway home! #putitintheuniverse
  • Who is going to this! I demand one of you does so I can live vicariously through you! And...GO!

  • #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
