It happened again. My oldest asked why his skin is darker than his siblings. This time I wanted a better response that would stick with him in a way he’d understand. It hit me when I noticed all his crayons spilled out on the table. He was making another comic, his new favorite thing to do. His artwork is impressive and a way he expresses himself. So I told him to look at all the crayons he had out on the table. I asked him what would ...
27 Weeks & Life as A Working Mom
I just thought I’d check in with a bump date. I’m 27 weeks. I’ve finally given up on wearing scrub tops at work, and resorted to stretchy long-sleeved shirts, and loose fitted tops.

Let me add, there's nothing wrong with getting older it's actually a blessing. But I thought by now I should have it all figured out you know. Right after high school I landed a job as a secretary in a hospital that I love. I also went straight to ...
Kudo Banz: Kudos To Positive Reinforcement
This post is brought to you by Kudo Banz. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. With having girls so close in age, there's no short supply of tantrums, and bickering. My youngest daughter also loves copying big sister, and sometimes it's negative behavior. I've also noticed since my eldest daughter has been in preschool she comes home rolling her eyes, and mumbling under her breath when I tell her to do something. I'm working on being ...
