Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
Black History Month is drawing to a close and I can’t help but feel disappointed that much of America is content to limit black history to a single month. While it is important to keep Black History Month in order to promote awareness within an almost deaf sector of America, it is disappointing that many of [...]
Over the last couple of weeks I have been putting a lot of thought into creating a “brand” to represent my blog. Once I decided on the image I wanted to portray, it was time to figure out how to put my plan into action. I’ve done a lot of research and tried and tested [...]
Ok, so I’ve been blogging for about six weeks now and one thing I’ve discovered is that mom bloggers are amazing! I had no idea what a huge powerhouse we are!
