One Love: An Interview With Cedella Marley

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 [...]Continue Reading

Small Style: Modern Mini Hipster

This Tuesday, I did a little photoshoot for Jayden. He got through three outfit changes before wanting to call it quits! Here’s one of my favorites from that day.

Future Cub Scout

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 soContinue Reading

On His Way To Pre-school

I never went to pre-school because the school put priority on the children who they thought “needed” it. Weird right? I don’t know what that was all about, but I know that times have changed and I know there are many benefits to attending pre-school even if the child is brilliant. Surviving the real world takes a little more than just being a kid genius. So… we’re currently planning on enrolling Jayden in pre-school early next year. We decided to keep him home during the first semester to clear up his Eczema and work on his diet. Eczema is such [...]Continue Reading

For The Trendy & Stylish Kid: Cookie’s Shopping Haul

As the weather begins to transition from scorching hot, to a gentle cool, and Jayden grows a little taller, I realize that it’s time to do a little shopping to prepare him for the season. Marshalls, Old Navy, and Crazy 8 are the stores that I usually shop for Jayden’s clothing, but I think I will be adding Cookie’s to the list. I was offered the opportunity to do a little shopping at CookiesKids.com. I was slightly familiar with the store, but I assumed that they sold school uniforms (their specialty) and basics. I’m so glad that I decided to [...]Continue Reading

Living Feels Good

I’ve been blogging less it seems. Once or twice every 10 days. My internal blogging alarm is naturally set to do so. And there’s a reason for that. I’ve been living and taking the necessary steps to take care of myself and my family. I’ve been less active on Twitter and Facebook, which are common distractions. I’ve also been ignoring my PR requests folder because I have enough going on and it’s just not healthy always being involved in something and falling behind in those things. Not being able to deliver bruises my ego, deep black and blue. I have [...]Continue Reading

This is the way we paint inside.

Our days have been filled with painting lately. Outside, inside, and even the tub! Since painting is such a fun activity to do, but can be messy, we try to limit it to outside. But when I decided to paint one of the walls in Jayden’s room one evening, I had to improvise. I let him help out a bit, I mean come on, how fun is it doodling on a wall without being scolded for it? Ha! I felt that he’d appreciate the painted wall in his room even more if he was a part of the experience. So [...]Continue Reading
