A few months ago, I let you all in on one of my most deepest and darkest fears. And while some people have cute fears like spiders, I’m scared of losing my teeth. Terrified. Right up there next to public speaking terrified. So as terrified as I a…

Stop using motherhood as an excuse.
A year ago, I found myself feeling misplaced. I saw a young, supple face, harassed by breakouts like never before… a head full of healthy, full locs with a personality of their own… glasses that slipped and slid, with a prescription way past expira…
The Recipe to Conceiving a Girl
Jayden is my little mini-me. There’s no doubt about it. And the relationship that we have is unique to us, mother and son. He looks just like me as most boys resemble their mothers. My family refers to him as “Little Sheena” and often…
The Guilt of Christmas Present Overload
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 [...]
Creating Thanksgiving Memories
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 [...]

Small Style: Every Boy Wants To Be A Superhero
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 [...]
