Where Are The Men At?
I know that I’m not the only guy who regularly reads Folake’s blog posts…though I apparently am the only one to chime in consistently. I know that there are a couple of other doods dropping comments, and some send personal notes to her inbox about how much they enjoy reading the blog, but I really […]
Mama, Baby In My Tummy
So, I’m trying to get Zurhi ready for the new baby. I feel bad because she is a baby herself, but she’ll thank me later because her dad and I are giving her a priceless gift. A sibling close in age to grow up with and be best friends. Though, I know before they consider […]
I Guess It’s A Free Country
During one of our many visits to DC to spend the holidays with family, my niece and Sidney were having a discussion of some sort. Sidney is a year older than her and she has always looked up to him. They are really close and so great together. Anyway, I think her mom told her […]
He Is Just Not That Into You
One of my readers sent this situation to my inbox. Of course, she wants to remain anonymous, however, she’d still like for us to share our opinions with her. Let me start by saying that this lady is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Seriously, she is drop […]
Generation “What’s Next?”
How many of you are foreigners? Better yet, how many of you were born here, grew up in a different country, but came back to America to attend college, start a family, pursue a career, etc.? Well, I am one of those folks. I was born in Bronx, New York, but I’m Nigerian. I grew […]
Have Yourself a Merry Holiday Blog
Dear Beautiful People:
My family and I are going away for the holidays. We are going to have a white Christmas this year!!! So exciting to be going back home to spend time with family and bond. We’re leaving in a few hours. I will continue to blog and check emails, though sporadically. We have a […]
Mom, Dad, I Don’t Want to Come Home!
What is going on with my 15 month old? She doesn’t like to come home. LOL! Whenever we go out, or when Greg picks her up from daycare, it’s a scene when we get home. She cries, screams, throws a fit, claps (yes, she claps when she is furious…like WTF???) and then sits on the […]
Things You Should Know During/After Pregnancy
Let me be clear here: this is not meant to scare people away from pregnancy. Not at all. My husband and I have been blessed with two fantastic children, and we can hardly contain ourselves for the next (and for reasons you’ll read below, I’m really counting down the time).
I’m writing this because the request […]
Licking Poop
Prepare to be grossed out! So I may be alone on this, but you know when your kids have something on their face, food, dried out milk, dried out drool, you put your finger on your tongue and clean their face off….anyone? No? OK! Well, I do. I did it with Sidney until he figured […]
That’s Not My Sister. That’s My Mom.
Oh boy! Where do I begin? Sidney has almost gotten into altercations because kids (and parents) at school think I’m his sister. To the extent that instead of being physically present at meetings, PTA, etc. I schedule a conference call. If I absolutely have to be there, Sidney pleads for me to wear layers of […]
Three Baby Showers In One Weekend…Help!
Man, I had three baby showers to attend this weekend. I had two back-to-back on Saturday that ended at midnight, and one on Sunday quite early. Didn’t think I could make it to one, but you know, God worked his wonders and I did make it to all THREE.
I was so sure I wasn’t going […]
Ssssssshhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
What I choose to blog about is nobody’s darn business. I have the right to use words that I see fit in a certain situation. My blogs are often filled with sarcasm, direct/indirect jokes and reality. I don’t blog for readers who take my blog with all seriousness. If it’s not of interest to you, […]
Pregnancy Aint Fun :)
I’m just being really, really, honest! I know some women, men, or children are going to give me a hard time for this, but you know what? I’ve gotta be real about how I feel!
I can’t stand being around women that say “oh, I can be pregnant forever,” “I wish pregnancy was longer than 10months,” […]
Kids & Toilet Bowls
When Sidney was a kid, I caught him with his hands in the toilet bowl splashing the water. It was all over his face and mouth. Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww! I gave him a bath and soaked him in a bubble bath. I had to constantly monitor him and keep the bathroom door closed at all times. I […]
Mark Ruffalo’s Brother Shot in the Head
OK…this is some serious and scary sh**t for me. You know why??? Mark Ruffalo’s brother, Scott is my neighbor. Scott, his wife and step daughter live in our neighborhood.
In any case, according to People.com, “Scott was shot in the head at his Beverly Hills condominium.” He is in critical condition - hanging on to dear […]
