Being a mom is hard, isn’t it? I never really dreamed about being a mom when I was younger. So for me, it’s been a tough adjustment finding the ever elusive balance between doing everything for your kids & finding some ‘me time.’ Thankfully, I have a pretty awesome husband who helps give me the [...]
Oh my goodness, you guys, I have something special to share with you. Let me just say upfront that, you might have noticed, this is a sponsored post. I hesitate to say it at all (aside from the fact that legally, I have to) because I really think this is the coolest thing ever. So [...]
A little bit ago I wrote a post on 6 things I want my boys to know. It got me thinking. I am always thinking about what I want my kids to be, how I want them to act, and what I would like them to do with their lives. I haven’t thought much about [...]
When I was young I never dreamed of getting married. I never had a checklist of qualities I wanted in a guy. I never imagined my wedding, the colors, or where it would be. Before I was a mother, I didn’t think about having kids. I didn’t pick baby names or colors for a future [...]
Wednesday, August 22, 2012…. Oh the wonderful anticipation! I was 4 cm dilated and having mild contractions. Hubby, Doctor and I all decided that tomorrow would be the day to have this baby!

As most of you might know, we have arrived in France safe and sound and are trying to make the adjustments needed to feel more at home here. I have been watching my kids to see how they adjust, espcially Tae because he is more aware of our situation, and honestly they have done quite [...]
My one-year-old is cutting teeth. Like 4 teeth. At once. This is what my days look like. Oh you think I am exaggerating?? Ask my mom. Or my dad. Or my mom-friends who were at the pool today who witnessed me break down in the bathroom. So I don’t have a ‘What I Wore Wednesday’ post. [...]
A couple weeks ago, I was visiting a friend, just me and the boys, Lavar was gone for a basketball game. My friend, who is white, is married to a fellow basketball player, we’ll call him E, (also white) and they have 4 beautiful children whom I completely adore. They are such a wonderful family. [...]
So part of our oh so crazy life is something called adjusting. We have to adjust to the country we are living in, the language that is spoken in that country, the friends that we know or meet, and the customs that are ‘normal’. Do I kiss this person? If so, how many kisses? I [...]
I have to vent a bit. I have two boys, as you all know. I love them so dearly, with all my heart, more than I knew you could love someone. My oldest is 4 years old now. He is the biggest sweetheart. He always picks me flowers when we are at the park, he [...]
