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 […]

Why Turkey?

Your weekend joke…enjoy.
We were watching a documentary on Turkey, the country. Our little man turned to us (his parents). “Why is it called turkey?” Before we could respond…he says, “Is it because there are a lot of turkeys there?” *crickets* Seriously, what do you say to that? Both my husband […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Our Hummingbird Friend

We have a (sometimes) hummingbird neighbor who is back again. In 2007, this hummingbird came to nest in our garden to make a home for her young. It was so amazing to watch the construction take place. It’s hard enough being pregnant, let alone build a “house” while pregnant..flying back and forth. It typically takes […]
