My Niece (So Proud)
I'm just gonna tell you...this girl, right here, has it all going for her. I'm not exaggerating one little iota, either. Just look at her. She's gorgeous. Look deeper and you will see just how sweet, humble, and smart she is, too. She's also a real life go-getter, highly competitive, and focused in academics, sports, and, of course, her diet and health. She posts her videos so others can "build a better you with me." She amazes me. I am her biggest fan. I think she has about 45 followers on her You Tube site as of date, but I expect that to grow exponentially. I believe in her teaching, her tips, and I just love her sense of humor. I know you will, to.

Tattoos. Top Story - September 2020.
Do you remember in elementary school, the temporary tattoos? I loved them, love them still. Cute little splashes of color used as a time filler at parties. The kids love them because they can have that little artistic expression, moms don't freak out because a bath and some scrubbing will remove all traces of that flamingo in no time. Unlike when your toddler finds red lip stick and tags everything, including their face and your new couch.

Hold close what is dear to you
Life is a book full of lines, paragraphs and chapters. With each line is a different event, a different experience, a different part of me. There are lines that take up whole pages and chapters that explain a different part of my story. With each biography, novel, memoir, there is a beginning, a middle and an end. With each turn of the page the next fragment of a tale.

It's a GAMER!
It’s a gamer was the kids’ argument to convince the parent to hire me. To bring me into their house. And actually, that was enough for them.

Imaginary Friend
In 2015, my daughter, Alexis, was three years old and her father and I were trying to conceive a second child. I would later find out that I had Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and that was the reason why I was having difficult conceiving.

My Breastfeeding Journey
Today I wanted to talk about my journey and experience breastfeeding. August was National Breastfeeding Month, and even though I am posting this blog technically in September, I still wanted to share my journey. I would have loved to post this in August, but you know, mom life... lol. I'm still getting the hang of balancing mom life with my new blog posts and video uploads, so bare with me! Hopefully as time goes on I'll get the hang of things a bit more.

Still living at Home In your 20s
So you just graduate college, you got a job, and you're looking to move out. Turns out that rent is so damn expensive, like $1,100 or even over $2,000 depending on whether or not you want to live in New York City or some kind of suburb in the middle of nowhere. It's the middle of a pandemic in 2020 and people are getting laid off left and right. What do you do? Only fans? Ask parents for money? You've had it up to here with your parents and want to live with your friends just like in the college days. But what? Well, here is why it sucks to still live with your parents.

Chiraq IV
Chapter 4 At around 7:30 P.M., the atmosphere at the barbeque slowed down to a dull mode. Big Shorty heard the name "Top Cat", then heard Top Cat's voice as it reverberated off the walls inside the townhouse. Top-Cat was decked out in black khakis and a blue bandana that was tied around his head. His eyes were dark and looking into them was like looking into an abyss because they displayed no expression, no smile. Clearly making a statement regarding the caliber of Gangsta he definitely was. Top-Cat stood motionless as his eyes zoomed in on Charles, deliberately making it aware that he was suspect and as Charles saw, he returned Top-Cat's stare while sipping on a can of beer.

Monitoring your kids was never so easy and affordable
You always want to protect your kids, when they are little you provide for them and make sure they are safe. However, they grow and they start using new technology like smartphones where they can potentially access anything in the world. You lost control over them so you need an app to control everything they do with their devices. You need to teach them how to use a device like a smartphone which is very powerful nowadays since it can be used almost for anything, from gaming, texting, watching videos to gambling, or watching porn. As a parent is your duty to control and monitor what they do on their smartphone so you can know which are their fears and how they feel.

What Happened?
For me as a child, the year 2020 was just as far away as the stars themselves. No computers, no internet, just the good ole days...right? We had cartoons that we all watched religiously on Saturday mornings like The Flinstones that poked fun at the simplistic idiocy of what a functioning society of "cave folk" may have been like, straight from the mind and beautiful imagination of Hannah Barbara. Not long after The Flinstones, Fred and Wilma would air among the same Saturday morning line up as George and Jane Jetson, each character having a futuristic counterpart..George and Fred. Wilma and Jane. Judy and Pebbles and how could we forget mans best friend in the past, present and future, Astro and Dino. Maybe Elroy was the counter of Bam Bam. I'm not sure but you get the gist.

I'm Sorry I'm Too Short To Help You
A daughter's life was turned upside down the moment she heard her mother tell her that she only had a few months to live. It's like a gut punch and you forget how to breathe again.

Best Cases for Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra version is one of the most cutting-edge phones in the market, but it's also one of the portable and high demanding phones in 2020 as well which can be purchased without emptying your bank account. Combine that with the luxury price tag that Samsung demands, and you have a recipe for disaster if you dare to take your new phone out into the world naked.
