Happy Read Across America Day! In my continual effort to promote diversity in children’s literature, today I wanted to share with you, “Milo Imagines The World” ...a beautiful layered story written & illustrated by the same amaz
I love this old photo. I don’t think Rocky was even 3 yet when I took it. It was totally random. Just a simple afternoon. Stoop life. No filters, just the sun deciding to hit perfectly at the right time. Kismet.☀️ @therealreggieb
This photo isn’t a good representation of what the weather is really like right now. I’m at my parents’, and its been dark and raining all day. The last few clumps of the snow from the past storm have pretty much melted away. Now,
Recently I was asked, how do I pick which books to profile on Social Media. The answer was simple. I merely show the books that my children and I love. Snail’s Silly Adventures by Mary Peterson is a children’s Graphic Novel Chapter Book
Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes... - O.R.
This is not an “announcement”. Just setting the record straight before my phone and DM’s blow up. 😩 In fact, It’s no Berry’s birthday, or even one of the the days when I found out I was pregnant. I’m just feeling
Some of my favorite books in my niece’s collection. Just wanted to share...no page descriptions today, just the thumbs up that they are all really good and meaningful! 📚 Who Will You Be? By @andreapippins 📚 Don’t Touch My Hair! By Sha
Today just seemed like a big mess of unfinished stuff. Let me just keep it real. 3 out of 4 of the peoples’ hair in this house has not been completed. My fingers are tired but I still got a lot of braiding and twistin to do, and it’s hard
My youngest...he was made for the outdoors. Or maybe the outdoors were made for him.🌳 #DangeRUSS
Feeling kind of sorta “around the way girl-esque” today. Yeah, I’m still cooking, cleaning, running after small humans...all the typical Sunday Mom stuff 😑, but little does anyone know, I’m simultaneously bangin Jeezy, Meek,
My Rocky. I’ll never NOT have trouble saying, “no” to those big bright eyes, single dimple, and unibrow. 😩🖤☺️
Hey y’all! Are you tired yet of seeing my, “remember this!” pointer finger. No? Great! Lol 🤣 ...because I have so much to share with you and I hope you’ll stick around to see. If you ever had a dream of writing a children&r
So excited to get my first @shop.setapart box which included this skirt and headwrap!! Due to the size of the skirt, they were unable to use their signature box, but I added a photo of what your box will look like when you order in other months. Th
“Don’t hate, Create.” I met @andreapippins over ten years ago, in Port Authority at the bus stop going home from NYC. I was an instant fan. Still am today. She had a blog back then... but now she has so much more, and you can find
See that big ole rip in the center of the petal? Just a quiet reminder that nothing earthly is consistently perfect, but you just gotta keep on growing anyway. Happy Tuesday folks... #consistency2021
Raise your virtual hand if you’ve got one noisy kid...or two, or three?! 😩 Welp, @laura_ellen_anderson created a spectacular book (I Don’t Want To Be Quiet!) about a little one who’d rather be ANYTHING but quiet... until she finds
Look at us. Just kids. We had just gotten our marriage license and had to take the typical “city hall photo” after. @therealreggieb Still looking at you this way. Love you always. 🖤
A simple love story for Valentine’s Day: All is quiet in the house. Mom sweetly looks over at Dad. Dad smiles...reaches out for Mom. A loud growl followed by a roar is heard in the near distance. Mom sits back. Dad sighs...shakes his head. Mom
Let me give you a bit of my own family Black History this month. I hardcore praise educators, because I come from them. GiGi is a retired RN who always wanted to teach, hence why we do a lot of medical related activities for #ScienceFridays. PopPop
It’s been quite a day. Currently covered in two types of flour I didn’t even know existed, while attending a virtual pasta making class with my girl @egyptgraham. If it comes out good, I’ll post the plate in my stories. Until then,
