In early September, I started preparing Jayden’s wishlist to ensure that his presents were bought and wrapped in advance to avoid the hectic last minute. So I made a list. And it was hard at first because he hadn’t asked for anything and was content with what he had. So I began to add items based on his interests. Since quite a few people contribute to Jayden’s gifts, I found myself adding things just to add them… so everyone could equally contribute (they are happy to) and then I found myself deleting away. It was just too much. I started [...]

Thanksgiving is… next. week. Where has the time gone? This week, I shopped for Thanksgiving dinner without even giving the actual date much thought. Usually, I cook our meal and freeze it before visiting family for the holiday. I enjoy cooking up a meal and it’s always great to have backup because leftover plates don’t last very long. We like to eat until we can’t eat no more. No limits. No remorse. This year, we plan on spending the earlier part of Thanksgiving Day at my mother’s house where a few family members will stop by. Then, we will spend [...]

So Greg and I picked out Halloween costumes for Jayden in September; a Chicago Bears football costume, and a pirate costume. Since I’m usually in charge of his costumes, I let Greg take over. He ordered the Chicago Bears costume from an online retailer that shall remain nameless. Days and days would go by with no shipping notification or worse… that the costume was out of stock. It took him logging in and checking his order to find that the costume was out of stock. So. I go over to another online retailer that shall remain nameless and order the [...]

I had the opportunity to interview Bob Marley’s Daughter, Cedella Marley, which was AWESOME by the way! The interview was in conjunction with helping her promote her new children’s book, One Love. The heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book tells of a young girl and her parents inspiring neighbors to restore a park in their multi-cultural neighborhood. Based on one of Bob Marley’s most beloved songs, it celebrates his joyful spirit and unforgettable lyrics, bringing them to life for the new generation. I am super excited and grateful to have One Love in our book collection! So. Check out the [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boy Scouts of America. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ll admit, I plan on encouraging Jayden to get involved in every activity that he may take interest in as long as it doesn’t interfere with his well being or his academics. Even more so…
