Spring beauty sales are around the corner and I am ready to get to shopping! Last year, I threw away a lot of my expired makeup so my makeup bag is really light. While putting my shopping list together, it was important to include beauty brands that regularly donate to…
This year, we’re supporting our community pantry for our family giving focus. We’ve set up recurring payments and will do quarterly drop-offs like these birthday bags. I was surprised to learn that birthday supplies weren’t the only non-food item our food pantry regularly collects. For those receiving SNAP benefits, they…
I never thought that I would own a Peloton bike. I certainly didn’t think that I would become a full-on believer and evangelist. But, here I am. And, last month, I joined the century club, clocking 100 rides on a bike that goes nowhere. When I got my Peloton, I…
Raising Black boys is one of the most significant responsibilities that I will ever have. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to I encourage them and ensure they have a strong sense of self. There are systems that solely exist to eat my children alive. And, that…

My son, Caleb, is one of the best kids that I know. He is smart, thoughtful, kind, and is always looking out for his mama and brothers. I’m still adjusting to the fact that he’s five now (!!) and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. But, I’m not the…
It’s always been important for me to give to and serve others who needed help. It’s an important life principle that I learned from my mother. As the stay-at-home orders began last year, I felt this incredible sadness and anxiety thinking about how COVID would impact families, especially in underserved…
Over the past few years, the boys and I have really gotten into Valentine’s Day. Honestly, I blame Target with all of their cute decor and clothing. That might have been how things started but we’ve evolved into making it a full-on love fest. This means displays of love within…
