Thank you to the CAMP family for inviting my family and I to the sneak peak of the Star Trek Prodigy Experience. This is one of the many experiences, they’ve had so many different ones in the past. This one is a space themed cosmic activity. It was pretty cool, the entire set up was genius.

I haven’t been to one of their experiences yet, I only visited when the store sold books and toys, alongside a little play section. It was so cool seeing how they transformed their entire bottom floor into a space experience. The girls were fully in character; when Aleise got her watch she kept saying “Blast Off” lol. Overall the girls had such a great time. They were able to get their face painted, pretend like they were in space, and to top it off they were able to make slime…. A quick slime story; Alani and I used to make slime ALL the time then one day she got it all over my rug, and that was the end of slime making in our home, so CAMP y’all are the coolest in her eyes, because she got to make slime.

For all of my families who will like to enjoy this experience it is open to the public today. You can get your tickets from here

Again thank you all for such a cool experience. Em, from CAMP thanks for thinking of us🤎

Last month we celebrated Lizzy’s 3rd birthday. We decided to celebrate by Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Jane’s Carousel offer birthday packages, or you can do like we did and use the nearby benches, and purchase tickets for the kiddies; tickets are $2 a ride.

I love that both of our kids birthdays are during the summer, because it’s usually so easy to plan a celebration and a lot more options. Last year it rained for Lizzy’s celebration, and this year was no different. I was so damn annoyed because we had to postpone her birthday celebration due to rain, and then it only rained for about an hour, in the morning too. Dear weather app, you’ve failed me. Either way, Lizzy had the time of her life, and I just love that for her. When you don’t have a care in the world, and nothing else matters but happiness, and laughter, yup that’s living. We all need to get back to that childlike joy, we’d be a lot more stress free. Anywho, check out some pictures from that day, just look how happy she is.

I don’t know about you all but life has been moving so fast these few months; some career changes, a few vacations, some birthdays, it’s just been busy busy busy. It’s been exciting but also overwhelming. I’m now having down time, and getting back to the things I enjoy doing; like taking the time to blog.

So much has happened, and I’m going to try and get y’all up to speed. A few months back I went on a trip to Atlanta with my sister friends, (i’m not sure I’ve shared this here, or maybe I did lol). One of my friends had a gig out there, and was feeling homesick, so we took a trip to spend quality time with her for a weekend. We planned a pink outfit day It was such a nice vibe as you can see below. Having friends that show up for you is everything, and I’m blessed to have so many valuable relationships.

On Mother’s Day my best friend Ari and I took our mother’s out for brunch. It was cute, however if I ever say I’m doing a nice brunch/dinner for Mother’s Day and bringing the kids, remind me not to… Lawd those kids were a handful, and I said never again especially when I’m celebrating me will these kids have the opportunity to stress me out.. NOPE.

One weekend we went to watch my brother play soccer. The girls really enjoy going to his games, and cheering him on. He really has his nieces as his cheerleaders, it’s the cutest thing ever. One thing about the triple A’s they love their uncle.

I also briefly mentioned up there that I started a new career. I was at my previous job for the past 10 years… Yes 10 years, that is crazy. I’ve learned, and gained so much during those years, however it was time to spread my wings. I was becoming too comfortable and complacent, and I’m so happy I walked out on faith and just went after what’s mine. The world still has so much for me and I’m excited for the accomplishments to come. I hope you all also go out for what’s yours, don’t wait a day, a month, and definitely not 10 years. Sometimes we allow fear to navigate our lives, and then we’re wondering why we’re not performing at the best of our abilities. I know it’s better said than done, but baby steps, and in some cases like mine… Big steps.. just take that leap!

If you all read this far, thank you. I’m going to have a part 2 of this photo dump, because there’s so much more. I love you all always and forever.
