Looking for a baby sitter?

December 29, 2015 | Leave a Comment

baby sitting

To all my working parents!

Do you remember that time you had to return back to work, and leave your little one?

I don’t know about you, but for me it was devastating, I remember crying, and not wanting to leave.

I remember calling every hour like what is she doing now, oh she’s still asleep? (yes, I’m really that crazy mom, I still do that till this day, don’t judge me)

For parents who aren’t stay at home moms (shout out to you stay at home moms, your work never goes unnoticed over here), you want a caregiver whose going to care for your child just as much as you will, someone who is caring, has patience, experience, and someone who enjoys watching kids.

I went back to work when Alani was just 2 and a half months, that’s pretty young, but sometimes things have to get done, and money has to be made, but it’s not easy.

Leaving a child so young is hard for most, you want to be at ease while you’re at work, knowing your child is in the best hands ever. My mom had retired during my pregnancy so she was now helping me with my daughter. However, It doesn’t always work out this way, as many friends of mine have issues finding babysitters, for their child. [Read more…]

Three Little Bears Holiday Bash

December 28, 2015 | 1 Comment

Yesterday we took the little one to watch a puppet show in Central Park at The Swedish Cottage, called the ‘The Three Bears Holiday Bash’. It was the cutest little show ever.

They taught the kids forgiveness, about Kwanzaa, and how Christmas is more than receiving gifts. Of course Alani didn’t understand all the lessons the show taught, but she really enjoyed all the Christmas carols they sung, the lights, and the looking that the 3 bears moving around the stage.

Tickets are currently sold out, but they will be having a new show The Little Red Riding hood coming in February.

Project Life

Have you moms ever received those baby books; the one you’re suppose to fill in with memorable moments, and milestones?

Well anyway, I received two of those as gifts during my baby shower. I picked one and

Sekou took the other. We were supposed to fill it in as our baby girl reached milestones, and other memorable things worth noting.

I think we both probably documented the first couple months of Alani’s life, and stopped after that.

I thought it would be more fun to document her life using Project Life.

It’s basically a scrapbook that’s easy and fun to use.

I bought this project life kit about a year ago, and I barely documented anything in there.I printed the pictures to add to the book, but it just seems as though I never found the time to get creative.

Good thing I wrote down all of Alani milestones, and other things worth noting, like her favorite song, her favorite commercial, etc.

This weekend I made a conscious effort to spend some time putting this album together, and I plan to keep it up, because I have a lot of months to catch up on.

I feel like because of the internet printed pictures are like extinct, and I just want to be able to show Alani how I documented so many memorable moments in her life. Perhaps it will be a great gift one day.

Thank goodness for my little space here on the internet where I am able to share lots of memories with my daughter, but this scrapbook will be much more intimate and personal.

I’ll try to keep you all updated on my progress.

PS. For the parents wanting to make a scrapbook for their child, i’ll recommend the baby edition, it has everything you would need in it.

For the past week Alani has been obsessed with this book.

I remember when her grandmother (glamma) bought this book for her months ago. When I first read it to her she wasn’t that into it.

I decided to pull it out again this week, and it’s been in constant rotation ever since.

Alani loves anything with animals, and colors; this book is perfect for that.

She also loves when she is in control, so turning the pages and sliding the little cards on each page is exciting for her.

I think she also loves my crazy animated voice when I read her books (lets see how long that will last).

Alani loves books, but a lot of times she won’t sit still for 2 minutes for me to finish the story, but I don’t let that discourage me, I just close the room door, and read out loud to her, even if she’s fumbling with toys in the corner. Usually she finds her way back.

So, for all the parents who has a child like mine (running around non stop, even at reading time), don’t give up.

Have a great day!
