Got Milk?

Instantly, I knew I had to write a post on this. So much so because I am nursing our newest addition and thriving on doing so for as long as I can (a year) with little or no help from Enfamil (formula). However, I have been challenged by the pain that comes with nursing. It’s […]

Exiting In Style, Or Not!

First and foremost, my family and I thank God for our beautiful new addition. We are thankful that all is well, and we are home enjoying our new lives. Thank you all for the lovely prayers, messages, positive energy, phone calls, emails, FB msgs, Twitter msgs, etc.
A big thank you to Dr. Jay Goldberg who […]

Excuse Me, While I go Have A Baby

If that’s OK with you. If you’ve been there before, you’ve got to know how this process works. Especially if you have other little ones at home. Getting mentally and emotionally prepared, getting your kids prepared, getting organized, and the list goes on.
So, as stated in a previous post, I’m not ignoring any of your […]

It’s Good To Be Good

Though it may seem way easier and juicier to be negative and mean, being good brings back tremendous returns. I wish people chose the easier path of being nicer to their neighbors. This world will be a much better place. Personally, I think the amount of energy it takes to being anything other than nice, […]

Is A Baby A Reason To Get Married?

The question I got in my inbox today! Now, how do you answer that? I’m assuming the reader just wants to hear my opinion on this - knowing fully well that I am no expert, right? Or as always, they’d like to hear the majority’s opinion. That’s YOU, the readers.
The last thing I want to […]

Joel Madden Teaches Harlow To Bite

So, I’m following Joel Madden on twitter, and today, he tweeted, “I taught Harlow how to bite. It’s awesome. She’s biting Nicole now and laughing. Ahh, she’s so much like ME.” I thought it was funny, and I responded with a funny tweet back, saying Lol…that’s mean *smiles* Their teeth are really sharp at that […]

Any Day Now

And let the count down begin! Boy, it’s getting more difficult to move around. I take one step and I feel like I just climbed Mount Everest.
I was trying to have a convo with Greg this morning. I had just one thing to say, and my poor hubby had to stand there for half an […]

Explaining Easter To Kids

I just love the way their minds work. Kids, that is. Especially mine. They are so creative, direct, real, dramatic, funny…I could go on.
Yesterday, we sat around with the kiddies talking about Easter and the importance. Here’s G trying to explain in a nutshell, and as simply as possible.
G turned to S (our son), “by […]

Why I Love Being A Mom - MEME

I was tagged to do this - write about why I love being a mom - by a brilliant writer, blogger and friend. She runs both Nigerian Curiosity and SolomonSydelle.com. However, this meme was originally started by Genius mom blogger, Catherine; read her work at Her Bad Mother. It’s fantastic, and one of my constant […]

Generosity Water - A Story From Ethiopia

John Wagner from Generosity water sent me this letter in email. I was deeply touched and moved that I had to share. Unfortunately, a lot of African Countries face this problem. The shortage of water, and/or lack of clean water. Please read and pass on. As always, please do what you can. We are the […]

Kids & Sign Language = Amazingly Cute Conversation

I’m amazed at my daughter’s skills with signing. She just turned 19 months and isn’t able to have a solid conversation (obviously) just yet. So, in lieu, she signs to us.
Her dad bought her a sign book when she was much younger, and after she turned a year, big brother was so excited and eager […]

The Toilet Water Saga Continues…

Oh boy…I need to hire 24/7 security for our bathrooms, so that as Z shows up they can turn her back around to go play with her toys; to do what kids do. Yesterday morning, as the kids were getting ready for school, I heard S scream in his bathroom, “Z, what are you doing […]

CNN, My Secret Admirer

I keep getting hits from CNN. They are clandestinely in love with me. OK..maybe my blog, or rather, certain topics. I like to think it’s ME. They are infatuated with ME. I envision a bunch of CNN execs sitting around the table discussing ME.
Yes, I’m a tad bit psychotic. But my family likes it that […]
