Chelsea’s Birth Story

June 18, 2019

On Saturday June 1st, 2019, I woke up around 3am with what felt like contractions. We planned to go to church but didn’t bother because of how I was feeling. By about 6:30am we decided to go to the hospital so I could find out if I was even dilated. When the nurses checked me… Read More Chelsea’s Birth Story

Maternity Photoshoot – Round Two

June 4, 2019

When it came to brainstorming a concept for my maternity photoshoot session for Baby Reid No. 2 it felt like it was a forever long process. I searched high and low for inspiration and genuinely struggled with finding the perfect concept. Because the time was drawing near to my due date, I knew that I… Read More Maternity Photoshoot – Round Two

What’s In A Name?

October 31, 2017

Out of the many things I looked forward to when I thought about having children, it would be coming up with the right names. Due to being a super organized woman, it should be no surprise to those that know me that I actually keep a running tab of children’s’ names in my phone. I… Read More What’s In A Name?

Charlotte’s Birth Story

October 24, 2017

I woke up out of my sleep on Tuesday July 25th around 3 am with what seemed to be contractions. I reached out to my close girlfriends (also fellow mommies) to let them know how I was feeling.

My Maternity Photoshoot

October 17, 2017

If you haven’t already noticed, I am BIG on capturing memories via photographs and video. I am the person who constantly takes pictures whilst living in the moments (yes, I can do both simultaneously for the most part). If there is one thing I am always willing to invest in, it’s my photos. Once Keith… Read More My Maternity Photoshoot

My NYGH Hospital Tour Experience

October 10, 2017

When my pregnancy was confirmed by my family doctor, she informed me that I had a choice of having an obstetrician or midwife follow my pregnancy. Ultimately, I chose an obstetrician because I felt that God forbid anything went wrong, I would be have access to a hospital an immediate attention and care. Later on,… Read More My NYGH Hospital Tour Experience

Baby Reid’s Gender Reveal Baby Shower

October 3, 2017

One of the hardest things to do throughout my pregnancy was to keep the gender of our baby a secret. Initially, I had wanted to do a small gender reveal party with family and close friends (I blame YouTube videos for putting the idea in my head) but then I realized that I didn’t have… Read More Baby Reid’s Gender Reveal Baby Shower

Moving Like My Grandma

September 29, 2017

Last week Thursday, Keith came home to a sad wife. For some reason, my mind started to take a trip down memory lane. The memories that played out caused tears to run down my face onto my bright-eyed daughter who laid on a pillow on my lap. She seemed to have known that I needed… Read More Moving Like My Grandma

Who Will Hire the Pregnant Woman ?

September 26, 2017

When I finished school, I knew that with the way the job market was set up, the chances of me landing a job in my field of study (Criminology and Women’s Studies) were slim. To make a long story short, I ended up working for an organization in the field of mental health and disability.… Read More Who Will Hire the Pregnant Woman ?

Daughters will love like you do⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers. So mothers be good to your daughters, too” - Daughters by John Mayer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This song by John Mayer randomly crossed my mind some time ago and I asked the Hubs if he knew it (he knows so many GOOD songs) and he told me hadn’t. Upon hearing it, he admitted that he loved the song right away. It’s messaging is perfect for us because we are the proud parents of girls. The responsibility is on the both of us to be the very best, albeit the mistakes, to both Charlotte & Chelsea and in turn, for them to be the very best for themselves and towards others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2195946566987369968_218362600 I find it interesting how we don’t talk about the importance of maintaining a healthy state of mind enough. We speak very quickly about the keys to success(especially to children) but very rarely does it include a mental component. Why is that anyway?

You’re mood is still forever chill and this was most evident on your second official shoot with a brand. You carefully observe your surroundings, yet, you’re so happy to laugh with those that laugh with you. Your attention and interest in food has peaked and you eagerly reach and grab for whatever we are eating. The rolls on those legs are increasing and you really are such a sweet dumpling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well, Tracy Moore is all that and then some - she radiates such genuine light and laughter. No wonder she has been able to celebrate 10 years on this show! Wishing you continued success Tracy!

Is everything functioning the way that it should? Most importantly, are we satisfied with the results of such a routine check? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2187973891036988390_218362600 If you missed out on my Instagram Stories the other day, then here’s a quick snippet of what went on behind the scenes of our first brand photoshoot (together) with @heyitsbluish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What this experience reminded me was that mom duties don’t stop. Between preparing for this shoot and being on set for this shoot, I still had to nurse and change diapers and make sure the overall well-being of myself and baby Chelsea were taken care of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Merci Tatie @lovemrsforbes for giving me the helping hand I needed on set. I couldn’t have lived my best Tracy Ellis Ross life without you. Sarah (@heyitsbluish), thank-you for such a great opportunity to be apart of your brand. The diverse and creative mood of this photoshoot was one that I was so proud to be apart of. I cannot wait to see all that 2020 has in store for both of your strong and talented women in my life!

I was very intentional about how I wanted to do this and even with a couple of disappointments, I still managed to pull it off. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many millennial mothers and so, truly, I don’t have to do motherhood alone. I am thankful for my tribe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I want to continue to create non-judgemental intimate spaces where dynamic women can come together to learn, laugh and share with one another.

Instagram post 2184531020825954730_218362600 #sponsored//Self-Care Series —Part 3| Did you know that women may not be primed for their best lubrication nearly 2/3rds of the month? I am a far cry from being a sexologist but what I do know is that sex is vital to human relationships (within the right respective and appropriate contexts). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At my six-week post-partum check-up, I learned that postpartum vaginal dryness was not only common but could contribute to an uncomfortable sexual experience for women*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In order to ensure that both parties are comfortable and maximizing their pleasure potential, K-Y has an extra moisture lubricant that can address the needs of women (especially post-partum women) who find themselves searching for a product that can help them ease back into such activities more comfortably after having a baby. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2182900595656386019_218362600 When I found out that I was pregnant with Charlotte, I couldn’t be happier. I HATED my place of work and quite frankly I highly detested the people I worked for and with. I couldn’t be happier to chuck up my deuces and go on maternity leave for a year. In fact, I was so happy to leave that I told one coworker to not call me to pick up shifts even when I had returned to the company from leave. I was hoping and praying that I would get to work in a different location upon my return and I did. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting pregnant with Chelsea was a completely different experience, I was surrounded my a strong team of black women who cared about my family and I. I couldn’t believe that I would have to leave them for a year. I strongly believe that because we spend so many hours at work, it is important to like what we do and like who we do that work with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To those that like to go into the work place and make it toxic and unbearable for others, find something better to do with your time and best believe, the principle of karma is real. If you didn’t know before, now you do✌🏾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In all seriousness though, it’s been nearly 3.5 years for us as husband and wife and our love languages have DEFINITELY changed since we were merely boyfriend and girlfriend. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, do yourself a favour and Google ‘The Five Love Languages’ by Dr. Gary Chapman. It’s a game changer, I promise.

If I’m brutally honest, Charlotte knows how to make me go from 0 to 100 fairly quickly. Thankfully, I’m learning not to fall for those booby traps so easily because I love this little girl so much my heart aches and I just want us to have the best of memories together as much as possible |PC: @halimajama_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2177826773420955285_218362600 I suspected that I was pregnant with Chelsea a good two weeks before I actually worked up the courage to buy the test en route to a work meeting one morning. Before the meeting could begin, I went to the bathroom and decided to take the test right then and there. When the results revealed what I knew in my heart to be true, I was still stunned. I mean, what were the chances that just as I had found my groove as a working mom that I would be expecting again? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But nonetheless, he agreed without any pushback or any real complaints. I had a vision in my mind and I had to see it through - all the way to the end. Maybe it’s the perfectionist in me, the fact that I pay attention to detail and/or everything in between.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
S/O to our milestone photographer @jbsmith. Thank-you for not only respecting my vision but always helping to  bring it to life. Your personality and character are truly incredible. The most special moments in my adult life have been captured by you. I will be forever grateful for your craft, creativity, support and love.
