Mommy Diaries
I just want to wish my mommy a very Happy Birthday.
I swear I wouldn’t be the woman/mother I am today without you guiding me.
I couldn’t thank you enough for being an amazing mother, and even amazing grandmother to Alani,
We love you.
-Love Mamiloo and Alani
Everyone wish my mommy a Happy Happy Birthday!!!!
PS: I keep asking my mother where all of her old clothing are, because I swear I’d wear half of the things she had.
I know, I know it’s been extremely quiet over here on the blog, but sometimes that happens. Right now I just don’t have the inspiration to post, perhaps we need to get out a little more, hence that’s where I get most of my inspiration, but don’t worry we won’t be quiet for too long.
Anywho, I can’t wait to see all of you fabulous mommies, and kiddies this weekend for the children’s sing along. If you still need information please feel free to comment below or email me at Lovedemitrablog@gmail.com
Also, I wanted to share some of Alani’s favorite
books this month, I have added the links below if you wish to purchase them.
I know I’ve blogged about Brown bear, Brown bear (Here), and First 100 words (Here), but baby girl really cannot get enough of these two.
Every night, well almost every night, I tell Alani to get a book from her bookshelf to read, and EVERY single night she picks up “First 100 words”, and a lot of other nights alongside that she picks up “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”
First 100 Words by Roger Priddy is my absolute favorite right now, especially since Alani is saying a lot more words now, this books is great for reference of words to picture. I’m also loving the”One Red Sun” by Ezra Jack Keats. I’m a big fan of all of Keats books, so that’s a given, but this counting one is great for children who are learning to count. If your child doesn’t have these yet, be sure to add them to their growing library.

I hope the kiddies enjoy these books, if they don’t already have them. What are your children’s favorite these days?
Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!!!
Last week was the Fourth of July, which meant we had a 3 day weekend.
Sekou has been wanting to visit the New Museum, so we decided to make an impromptu family date there.
Both of us didn’t think to go on our phones for 2 minutes and look at what exhibits were on display, so upon arrival we were told that there were only 2 exhibits opened. I hate going to museums and not getting the full experience, but family dates are always great so it’s still a win.
I felt like since we couldn’t get the full experience we had to find another museum to go to, and to our surprise, the International Center of Photography museum was right across the street. Unfortunately I still wasn’t completely satisfied, as much as I love taking pictures there so much more to photography, and perhaps, I just don’t understand most of it.
Before we drove off to head back to Brooklyn we noticed the Soho Contemporary Art Gallery , and [Read more…]
Happy Birthday to the best big sister a little sister can ever ask for.
Growing up with an older sister was like having a 2nd mother, and I couldn’t thank you enough for all you’ve done and continue to do for me.
Thank you for ALWAYS being there when I needed you, for being so selfless, for always being an open ear when I need someone to talk to.
I am so thankful for having you as a big sister and an Aunty to Alani.
Happy Birthday Tricia

The love Alani had for her pacifier was intense, really intense, I mean she couldn’t go throughout the day, sleep or be without this pacifier period. However, the breakup wasn’t so bad, it wasn’t bad at all matter of fact.
Let me give you a little history about this pacifier obsession. Alani has been using a pacifier since she was a newborn. The plan was to ween her off of the pacifier once she turned 18months, but I think we were just as obsessed with it as she was. If any of you have children who use or used a pacifier know that it serves for so many things; it’s a great soothing tool, melt down fixer, etc. I never realized how long i’ve gone with not dealing with the actual problem of melt downs, we’d just give her the pacifier and that’ll solve the problem most of the time. Now that the pacifier is gone, there’s a lot of problem solving going on over here, a lot of “Why are you upset”, “you don’t have to cry”,”it’s okay” , and digging deep deep deep down in my soul for more patience that I didn’t even know was hidden in me.
Any who we went cold turkey with the pacifier break up. [Read more…]
