Respect your Friends & their Absences: Life Happens!

Respect your Friends & their Absences: Life Happens!

Hey girlfriend, hey!

Sorry, but this has to be written–respect your friends and their absences: life happens! With all that happens in your everyday life, why is it ever OK to attack someone verbally via social media or text message or via a phone call to complain how the neglect you feel trumps what your friend is going through? Are you that selfish that you feel that you are more important…

Halloween Costumes for your Babies 2018

Halloween season is coming up and I thought moms why not help you figure out some Halloween costumes for your babies 2018 season. Jaslyn is a sweet, 2-year-old and this hasn’t left much room for her to dress up. 

She’s never actually trick-or-treated but this is the year. This year she’s going to be a Bumblebee princess! Whatever that is! I allowed Jaslyn to walk around and choose her…

Attention, Grown Woman!

Attention, grown woman just to let you know: You are worthy, educated, brilliant, sexy with or without stretch marks or scars. You are dynamic, you are well-rounded, and you are amazing. You create and deny the future happenings within your life. 

Attention, grown woman just as the sun raises so does your soul and sometimes it’ll feel beat up, spit on, and damaged.  There…

Thick Girls Need Love Too!

Thick Girls Need Love Too!

Thick girls need love too! Not just advice on how to get slender. Not advice on what they can and cannot eat or drink on a daily basis. Thick women are beautiful, adventurous, filled with big brains and big hearts and some MF’s need to start recognizing and respecting this fact. 

I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum! I’ve been 311 and I’ve been 180! Now, I won’t lie at 180 I was at my peak…

Don’t be alarmed! Yes, I want a second child and it’s not because I love being pregnant. It’s not because I like missing sleep, girl friend dates from time to time, or the pesky weight gain. Simply, I want a second child so that Jaslyn Milan will have a companion. 

Yes, I adore my life as a mother, but sometimes I don’t want to play. Jaslyn is in the phase of “C’mon Mom,” meaning I have to…
