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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Funmi Kuye, Happy Birthday, Flower Child

I am in love. With my sister. I know, I know, I’m such a hypocrite. Last week, I wrote a post about incestuous relationships and how sick it is. And here I am lusting over my sister. Lol.
I can’t help it. She is mega beautiful inside and out. Everyone, and I mean everyone loves my […]

Another Baby Found In A Clothes Dryer

Man, seriously, there are a lot of troubled people in the world. A couple of years ago, a Louisiana woman put her baby boy in a clothing dryer and turned it on.

In the news yesterday, there was yet another report of a mother in Houston abandoning her new born baby girl in a clothes dryer. […]

The Monster That is Josef Fritzl

So, I don’t know if you all have been paying attention to this story. The monstrous story of Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter, Elizabeth Fritzl for 24 years and rapped her every single day. I read somewhere that he raped her over 3000 times and fathered 7 of his grand-children. In addition to this […]

The District of Public Failure

I once heard someone use this term to describe homelessness or the issues of the homeless today.  I thought hard about it and couldn’t help but think that it has a negative connotation on the homeless. When I saw it on TV, the special was shot in an area that looked like downtown, Los Angeles […]

Love Does Not Hurt: Relationships & Violence

I had to do a post on this issue because it is really dear to my heart. I support non-profits who are dedicated to putting an end to “violence against women” and “physical/mental abuse against women & children.” Now, to be clear, violence against men and animals is unacceptable too, of course. However, I am […]

Infidelity Strikes: Jon & Kate Plus 8

05/08/09 UPDATE: According to Us Weekly, Jon is infact having an affair!

“In the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday), five people close to the situation - including two relatives of the other woman - confirm that Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin, 32, has been having an affair with third grade […]

All Us Africans Look Alike, Huh?

When someone meets me for the first time, they always try to guess where I’m from. It is usually “are you Ethiopian?” I say no with a smile because It never fails, and I know what’s next. “Oh, you are Somalian!”
“Uhm, no! I am Nigerian. Nigeria is in West Africa,” my usual response. Then they […]

The Man With Many Wives

I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea of a man claiming or insisting that he loves all his wives. Equally. But I just don’t see how that’s possible. I also can’t phantom why a woman would want to share her husband, instead of being the “apple of his eye.”

What makes it […]

Congratulations! You Got Yourself A Trophy Wife

What is your definition of a trophy wife? Is she highly accomplished, beautiful, young, intelligent OR is she unintelligent, a gold digger, a shopaholic, a bimbo with no sense of self respect?
Whatever your definition is, I see a lot of these around, especially in Los Angeles. And they are often young, beautiful, ditsy, with fake […]
