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

The Road Less Travelled

April 9, 2019

If you were to ask my parents about the kind of daughter I am, they would probably say that I am the one who always asked ‘why’, I’m the one who was extremely organized just as I was sociable and I was the one who enjoyed painting the town red. Simply put, I was the… Read More The Road Less Travelled

While The Hubster Was Away

March 26, 2019

For the first five days of this month, I had the pleasure of parenting alone temporarily because the Hubster had been away for the during of that time. That specific weekend, was a heavily emotional one that consisted of us both attending funerals for loved ones in two different places. Prior to this time, neither… Read More While The Hubster Was Away

Though She Be Little, She Is Fierce

February 12, 2019

First things first, Charlotte may look like daddy but she shares a fierce persona with her mama. Charlotte is only 18 months old, and yet, she has already shown to us from a few months old who she is likely to grow into and I am already a very proud mama. When I was in… Read More Though She Be Little, She Is Fierce

Burnt Out Wife & Mama

December 11, 2018

It’s been two weeks since I came to the realization that I was crashing and burning – FAST. I have been going through the motions, as I’m certain many of us do, as I navigate through life as a wife and mom.

A Year in Charlotte’s Hair

August 21, 2018

In the Black community, the topic of hair (specifically for women) is a big deal. From texture to length and everything in between, there is no shortage of Black Girl Magic over here but it took us, as a community, quite some time to see it and embrace it wholeheartedly. Some people are not there… Read More A Year in Charlotte’s Hair

The Impact of Parenthood in our Marriage

August 14, 2018

Hey Everyone! Marriage isn’t for the weak and neither is Parenthood. Within the first six months of being married, Keith and I understood why there were so many divorces and within the first six months of being parents, we could understand why so many may be hesitant to have children. Now, with that being said,… Read More The Impact of Parenthood in our Marriage

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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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✌🏾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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.
