That moment your child embarrasses you…

November 15, 2015 | 10 Comments

Children are so innocent, and with their innocence comes beauty, genuine love, and sometimes brutal honesty.

Has a child ever come to you and asked you a question that made you uncomfortable? like how come you guys have a baby, but you’re not married, or that time your little cousin asked your aunt who can’t have kids, how come all of your sister have children but you?, and all you can do is give their parent that eye, like come get your kid!

Well clearly that kid isn’t Alani, because she isn’t talking yet, but I did have a semi-embarrassed moment recently. As some of you may know Alani takes swimming lessons. Recently her class got a new instructor, and for some reason Alani just wasn’t feeling her. I’m not sure if it’s because she was new, and Alani didn’t know her, but when the instructor went to do a one on one lesson with her Alani screamed so loud,  and even went as far as to hit her. Oh my goodness I felt so bad and all I could do was apologize. I swear everyone was staring, I was quite embarrassed. As the weeks have been going by she’s been warming up to her, so pray for me.

Before having Alani, I used to care about what people had to say, or what they thought about me, but now [Read more…]

Disney On Ice at the Barclay’s center

So earlier this week my lovely sister in-law got tickets for the whole family to see Disney on Ice, thank you Klarinda!!!

Sekou and I were wondering if Alani was going to be into the show, even just a little bit, because she barely ever watches TV. Well baby girl was watching and dancing, and wouldn’t even budge when we called her name.

She was really into the lights, and the music. We had amazing seats so she was able to see everything, too bad she can’t hang and fell asleep by the second half (this girl falls asleep by 8:00pm faithfully).

Anyway, in my opinion Disney on Ice was amazing, the production was excellent. My favorite performances were Lion King (Classic), and Aladdin. I really enjoyed it myself, and so did my nephews who i thought weren’t going to like it, because they’re so big now. So there you have it, all age groups can go.

The last show is tomorrow, so if you can make it, go!

You can buy tickets here

Now all I have to do is buy the Disney movie collection (these companies sure know how to make you spend money)

Have a great weekend everyone!

We love you Aunty Klarinda!

Children’s Museum of Manhattan

November 9, 2015 | 4 Comments

Okay, so Sekou and I agree that we are starting our museum journey. We want to visit all of the most famous museums in NYC. We have a few under our belt, but there’s a lot more on the list. We’ll be visiting all of the great ones all over the world as well (I’m speaking it into existence right here on this blog).

Anyway, yesterday we woke up and said okay what’s on the agenda, and decided the Children’s Museum of Manhattan would be our first stop.

The Children’s Museum Of Manhattan was AMAZING. If you’re reading this and you have kids you have to take them there. It’s really like the equivalent of what the MET would be for adults. Sekou and I love the MET and have been there on several occasions.

Back to the CMOM; there are 5 floors full of excitement. Alani really had a great time, and so did I, she had me crawling in tunnels, going on slides about 10 times back to back (no exaggeration), [Read more…]

Do mommies get sick days?!

November 4, 2015 | Leave a Comment

If Alani has ever tested my patience it was this past weekend.

If I were ever asked who were the top three patient people I know, I’d definitely be one of the three. Alani really wanted to put that to the test.

Most of last week, and on the weekend I was sick like a dog. All I had the energy to do was sleep, but baby girl was not with it. Thanks for my mom who is always a great help; for helping me out when needed, but Alani was just extra clingy, and  extra whiney than usually, and it was really getting to me. She barely wanted to go to anyone, she just wanted to attach herself to my legs ALL day.

I remember her having an episode where she wouldn’t stop crying. She was so sleepy, and was fighting nap time so hard. One minute she wanted me to pick her up, next minute she wanted me to put her down. She cried for about 15minutes straight (for a sick person, who had no energy; it felt like 60). I remember speaking to the man upstairs like give me the strength and the energy, because I was seconds away from having an episode with her.

Finally I was able to get a 2hr nap with her, but once she got up, she was on the go and into EVERYTHING. There was a lot of “Alani don’t touch that”, “don’t climb on that”, “stop” “don’t do that”, and this was nonstop.

Now I can look back and say “I did it, and made it through”, and I know that there are going to be a lot more of these days, so wish me luck!

Do moms get sick days?!, let me know where you sign up!

Clearly Halloween was postponed around here, but that didn’t stop me from still dressing her up later, and taking pictures.

My nephews and I even got around to carving pumpkins.

On another note, remember that time I went to a fundraiser for Pamela Harris who was running for Assembly in the 46th district (you can read that here) well she has officially been elected and I am super happy for her, Congratulations Pam!
