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 DMV Heart Attack

Man, I dread going to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). I don’t know why, but the workers have instilled a great deal of fear in me. They crucify you for just about anything; God forbid you don’t have your papers in order. My driver’s license expired November 12 of last year, and I didn’t […]

Are You With a “Mama’s Boy”?

I was asked what I thought of “mama’s boys” and I just couldn’t answer in one sentence or one paragraph. So here goes it.
I’m just going to shoot right to the point. Men, where do you draw the line? If there’s a line, that is. I mean, I think it’s cute for a man to […]

Your Ticking Clock! Tick, Tock, Tick!

So tired of that phrase “your biological clock is ticking!” When doesn’t it tick? It ticks 24/7..as long as you are alive. I’m sick of women getting these. We all have ticking clocks. Both men and women.
But women get this more when it comes to child bearing, however, men have biological clocks too, and it’s […]

Should Women Pay Child Support If They Don’t Have Custody?

I say yes! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If you are not the one raising the child(ren), then yes, you should help financially. You should be just as responsible as the man, especially if you have a career/job. Not saying that if you don’t have a job, you should not […]

Grace & Alfie: 13 Year Old Parents

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Especially a lovely Valentine’s day. Mine was the best ever. I did everything I said I’d do in my Valentine post, and then some.
I wrote. While my husband and kids attended a non-profit event at his alumni, Johnston Center at The University of Redlands. Greg was one of the […]

Happy Overrated Valentine’s Day!

Yeah, yeah, yeah..I said it. It’s overrated. Especially if you are not a teenager. This is the time when chocolate/candy stores, lingerie (especially VS & Fredricks), hallmark and teddy bear stores stick you up for your money. Everything is in pink and hearts. And let’s not forget the restaurants. They change their menu for the […]

Salma Hayek Breastfeeds A Hungry African Baby

UPDATE: Salma Hayek breastfeeding baby in Africa. Warning: You will see a baby take her last breath. Be prepared. Also, though, Salma and my post stated that the baby she breastfed was healthy, the baby was actually sick. See for yourself. As always, spread the word. Do your part.

Yes, you heard right. Salma lends her […]

Z & Her Baby: Preparing Her For The Unborn

No, not the one in my belly or hers (because she thinks there’s one in there), but the one her big mama got her for Christmas. (”Big mama” is my older sister. She is to all my kids.) Zurhi actually just follows her around everywhere, and my sister loves it too. I can’t count how […]

Daddy’s Girl.

Though we have known since I was about 4 months along, we are just now sharing this news. We were not sure if we wanted everyone to wait till delivery or not. And since our family members and a few friends knew, I didn’t want to keep my customers, readers and fans guessing any […]

The Belly & I

So, since a lot of people were asking to see my pregnant self, or a portrait of me belly, I decided to put this up. This is the best I can do. I’m a shy gal. Really! Also, I know in the past, I have ranted about my difficulty with this pregnancy. The all day […]

Preserving My Sexy

I keep getting questions via email and in the streets about what sort of make-up products I use, type of lotion for my skin or what my beauty/weight secrets are in general. Sometimes, I get people rubbing my face because they don’t believe the answer I give them, so I decided to just throw it […]

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 […]

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 […]

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,” […]
