I packed five letters today for a child last month I’ve never gone 72 hours without - one letter from each of us. Dre (My baby), your siblings miss you. I miss you. I included the running shoes you asked for, all our prayers, & all our love - it’s on the way to you. This is my first military

Mental health is health care — and that includes our kids. I never even saw my mom get hit, and I still carried things into adulthood I didn’t understand till years later. My kids are growing up different from me — but we all carry things differently, and that’s just real. Taking care of your me

Year 1: didn’t make it. Year 2: matching outfits, a whole dance routine, and standing ovation energy 🕺💃 These two argue about EVERYTHING. Who’s turn it is, who touched who’s stuff, who said what — non-negotiable, they gonna bicker, period. But the second it’s time to perform? Aaryn and Owen lock

No one hands our kids a manual for adulthood. This day wasn’t just a trip to the bank—it was a lesson in independence. Andre is preparing for life in the U.S. Army, and Hailey just started her first job. Years ago, I opened their Navy Federal youth accounts. Today, they asked the questions th

There’s something about packing a suitcase that makes it all feel real. 🥹 This week is a first for our family—my kids are heading off to sleepaway camp for an entire week. So naturally, we made a Walmart run for all the little travel-size essentials, labeled everything (hopefully 🤞🏽), packed the

Aaryn heading to sleepaway camp for the first time — a WEEK away from home. And before she goes, we’re doing what we always do: taking care of that hair. This is what intentional motherhood looks like for us. Natural hair on little Black girls isn’t an afterthought — it’s a priority. It’s consis

Cow Appreciation Day hit different this year. Four kids, one mom, and we ALL showed up in full cow gear to Chick-fil-A because free food is free money in our house. This is a real-life lesson my kids are learning: opportunities exist everywhere if you’re paying attention. A holiday promotion? Th

It’s been a long time coming- but the truth is I would do it all over again from day one, from Square one because over and over again he is 100% worth it 🤎 @certified_.dr3 I would give him my last to see him smile, I’d give him my life just for him to see the value in his, I get it GOD and Thank

My 15 year old has been watching Love Island all summer. My 6 year old has been WATCHING my 15 year old. And now this boy is walking around my house telling Anaya he’s coming with flowers and he doesn’t even know what a date is yet. 😭 This is what happens when you’re the youngest of five.

I never wore sunscreen a day in my life growing up. Not once. Because nobody told me I needed to. And honestly? I believed it. So when I took my girls tubing I decided we were going to test three sunscreens on our actual melanin skin in real time — because not all sunscreen is created equal a
