Easter 2017

Video From Whitney Museum Trip
Here’s a video I put together from our trip to the Whitney Museum!!
What we’re reading, April 2017
Remember a few month’s ago, I posted a blog talking about the books i’ve read, and that my plan was to read at least one book a month. Well it’s April and I am on book number 4.
Although I haven’t always been an avid reader, I’ve really been enjoying it these past few years, and a lot more this past year.
However, I always made sure I read to Alani. I read to her at least once a day, usually at bedtime. Her preferred books are Goodnight Daddy, and Goodnight Mommy (every single night might I add), but I always try to squeeze a new book. I believe reading is so crucial for our babies and toddlers, as it builds up their vocabulary, their imagination and much more. Alani is talking more than ever, and her pretend play is out of this world. So parents read to the little ones as much as possible.
I say all of that to say this; Right now we are reading
Me: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
Alani: Amongst Goodnight Daddy, and Goodnight Mommy, she’s currently reading I Like Myself, which is also an old favorite.
–Knowledge is wealth
No More Mommy Guilt
Usually I always guilt myself when going out sans baby. Because I am a working mom, I feel like my free time has to be spent with Alani, because I’m away from her majority of the day. Everyone tells me how important me time is and I’ve been working on it. Plus, this weekend with all the crying and whining it definitely verified why me time is needed, because it can really drive you up a wall.
So here’s to me time, every now and again. And to all the mommies out there guilt tripping themselves from going out, go!!! because a Happy Mommy makes a Happy Baby!
