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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Facebook Group Invitations

Why do people send these out? If I had accepted all the group invitations to date, I’d be a member of 383 groups by now. Yes, I’m counting. How am I supposed to be active in all these groups..with my busy schedule? How do I participate in 383 groups? That will be a full-time job, […]

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 […]

Kiss My A**, Literally!

I had to share this because it’s quite funny, actually.
So, there is something new with Zurhi everyday, however, her latest for the past week, is that when she gets hurt, she says, “owie” instead of “ouch.” But the owie is so cute.
She says “owie” and goes round to get a kiss from everyone. You know, […]

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 […]

The Silent Killer: Inflammatory Breast Cancer

I hope I am not putting too much of a damper on your week this week. If anything, I’m trying to do the opposite. Just raising awareness and if my posts could save one life or help just one person, then it’s definitely all worth it. I came across this video, and it made me […]

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 […]

Bleached Skin Isn’t The New Black.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a Tyra Banks show that caught my attention. First of all, I have to give Tyra some credit. Personally, I think Ms. Banks can be a little on the annoying side because she talks over her guests, and audience, however, I appreciate her intentions. I appreciate what she […]

Which 3 celebrities do you think….

…would look best in WeWe, and why? This is a Skribit suggestion from one of my readers. I will try to answer with just one paragraph because if I write a full blog about this, it will become a book of some sort.
Since I’m limited to three celebrities, I went ahead and chose four. Four […]

You Are Invited; No Presents, Please.

No, not my party, silly. You’d be bringing one if it were mine. *Smiles*
Got an invitation to a party today. It’s deemed to be a swanky birthday party, and as I continued to read the invitation, at the bottom it read in capital letters: NO PRESENTS PLEASE!
That took me aback. Why wouldn’t you want a […]

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 […]

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Many of you who have read about or met Sidney know by now that he is the cutest, most handsome, well mannered, well behaved and polite son in the world. Yet he is also energetic, playful, daring and inquisitive. Sidney gets into anything and everything, right?
Well, guess who is taking after this daring soul? Miss […]

Is It Tougher Being a Wife or a Mother?

I was watching my dose of momversation (http://www.momversation.com) about two weeks ago, and the topic was “Wife or mother: What’s harder?” These were three married women with kids (obviously) discussing. It was really interesting to watch. Immediately, I thought oh it is definitely harder being a mother!!!! No “ifs”, “ands” or “buts” about it.
I mean, […]

Please bear with us. And while you are out there celebrating, stay safe and enjoy.
By the way, is it just me or is everyone else looking forward to the fashion spread? […]

Traveling With The Little Ones

Traveling with kids can be such an adventure, and Greg and I being the adventurous ones are determined to not let this get in our way of travels. We love to visit different countries and our families and friends within the US. Though, people say that once you have kids that’s out the door, we […]
