We Need More Models

We are getting ready for our photoshoot in a couple of weeks, but we need MORE models. We are searching for African/African American models (age 3 to 6 ). If your child meets this qualification, please send us photos. We would like to see their pictures before we call them in for fitting. Please email […]

Ijinle

“Ijinle” is the name/title of the new collection. Ijinle, which means “the roots” or “authentic” in Yoruba, couldn’t be more appropriate. Yesterday, amongst other news announced, we mentioned doing some soul searching, which resulted in a decision to go back to our roots; where it all began. That’s what you are getting with the new […]

Rebranding & Refocusing

Dear Lovers!
Hope you are all well. Sorry to keep you waiting for far too long. It’s a good thing, though. We have a lot of exciting stuff cooking up. As the title reads: we are rebranding and refocusing our line. Our new collection, which consists of only kids, will be launched in a few weeks.
Yes, […]

Back!!!

Hello Loves!
If you have been following my blog, then you know that I had my third child back in April, and took some time off to focus on motherhood, etc. I have had a lot on my plate, which includes new and existing business ventures, but it looks like I may be able to post […]

It’s Been Far Too Long

So sorry lovelies. I’m back now, and promise not to be gone for so long again! It’s been like what…seven days? Geez! Not to worry - back and resuming regular posts.
I also have to keep you updated on the workout plan. I have 12 lbs to go - Yay! The last few ones are the […]

My Little Riot

Also known as Princess #1 aka Z, my first daughter. I guess I really didn’t know what to expect from having a little girl. After all, my first is a boy and I’d spent many years with him, so I was just used to dealing with a boy. He didn’t want to do everything I […]

Workout Session: Day 4, 5 & 6

OK, I’m trying to figure out the most effective strategy for updating you all on my workout sessions and daily diet. I don’t think accounting each day makes sense - it’s a little daunting, and quite frankly, I workout 4 to 5 days a week. So what do you all suggest? How do I keep […]

Workout Session: Day 1, 2 & 3

Sorry I have been a little MIA, I have shoot loads (trying not to use curse words lately because Z repeats EVERYTHING she hears right now) of work on my plate. Thought I’d fill you all in on my workout plan and daily diet. The original plan was to post each workout day, but until […]

10 Year Old Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Doesn’t that subject line just breaks your heart? Even if you are not a mother, you still feel the punch. Your little baby is diagnosed with breast cancer - how do you deal? What is a mother to do/feel - when the doctors present you with his horrible news? So is the case of this […]

Twins With Different Dads

Did you all see that in the news a few days ago, or are you going to make me feel bad for watching too much TV? If you caught it, are you as shocked and baffled as I am? Geez, just when I thought I’d heard it all…I caught this article the other day talking […]

Busy Slapped Me In The Face

Literally. I have never been this busy and I sure didn’t see it coming. I mean, I knew I was going to be somewhat busy, but em, I can’t even keep track of time. Now I wish the day had more hours - A 48hr day. Lol.
I’m quite sure I’m not the first with three […]

Giggiles In Her Sleep

Zurhi laughed hysterically in her sleep. I wondered what she was dreaming about. She laughed so hard, I started laughing hard just watching her…with tears in my eyes (from laughing, of course.)

I could just imagine what was going on in that little brain of hers. She is so playful during the day - it could […]

What Type Of Chicken Is This?

That’s the question my young man asks when he is about to eat any kind of meat. Mind you, he is 11 and has been doing this since he was a baby. I think it’s the cutest thing ever, and I so don’t want it to stop because I get a kick out of it.

When […]

Honey, Check If She’s Breathing

This is what we say every 5 mins. My husband and I, that is. Whether she is asleep or not. My biggest worry (besides headaches from sleepless nights) is being threatened by my new baby falling asleep. I almost don’t want her to take naps or sleep at night. When she sleeps, I don’t […]

Indigenous Woman Breastfeeds A Monkey

Came across this picture on the amazon tribes website, and it sent shivers down my spine. This is yet again, another selfless act. Here is this indigenous woman nursing a monkey whose mother has died, thereby adopting the monkey as her own child. Not a motherless or dying child, folks, but a monkey! I’m a […]

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 […]
