My Mamihood

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Maminess!

Welcome to My Mamihood…

| 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!

  • A little Sunday reminder. You'll see them creep up every once in a blue moon in ya comments. Don't get it twisted. Deep down, you know the truth. #Repost @afrobrutality ・・・ Beware of those fake day ones!!!
  • New York felt like home for so many different reasons. It got me thinking about what it would be like to live in the city again, about my roots, my heart, my past and my future. But this girl...what can I say? I love her beyond words. Yery. Curtis and their son (MY son) were some of the best parts of this trip. Thank you for making the trip special, for loving on us, for always being there. I love you, Prima. #Family #Primal #Mamihood
  • I saw @tianydavis's chocolate station and became obsessed! It is so hard to find a center piece for a 10 foot table. But here was a fun thing to do that would also be useful! It is helping get me in the holiday spirit. . Behind the scenes: I was looking for the right tiered tray. The one I wanted sold out. The one I purchased was pretty but my things didn't fit on it. What worked? This tray purchased for me, by my mother, for my very first house, well over 13 years ago. I fell in love with it but didn't know what I'd be using it for. And, here it is. #Christmas #Grief #HolidayGrief #HotChocolateStation
  • I cannot get these jars out of my mind. I cannot get the classifieds out of my head, selling little girls just like mine and little 3 year old boys without their mamas. I still have much to unpack but, I wanted to acknowledge the 320 jars of dirt with names and dates of men, women and children lynched in this country. #grief

  • The only thing better than chili for dinner? Next day chili! Not pictured but certainly part of the dish: avocado. What are you eating today? #MamiCooks #Chili #Lunch
