Happy Happy Birthday to our first born. The most sweetest, smartest, confident, loving, funny, active, activeeee 8 year old ever. One thing about Lala she loves celebrating her birthday, and she’s so excited to be 8. She’s literally been waiting on this day since September 1st 2021 lol, no exaggeration.

Sekou and I are so thankful to be her cool parents, as she calls it. Cannot believe we’ve been doing this parenting thing for 8 years, and doing a damn good job too. Lala, Daddy and I love you so much. We’ll forever be in your corner motivating you, and supporting you in all that you want to achieve. Continue to be curious and ask questions, continue to love with all of your heart, continue to work hard at everything you want, like learning how to do a handstand and walk all by yourself by just practicing; now that’s dedication. Now lets celebrate 8 and Tik Tok dance our hearts away!!!!

This weekend we took a family trip to the Smorgasburg in Prospect Park, one of Sekou’s favorite things to do on the weekend. We took the kiddies with us and made it a family thing. Honestly the kids could care less about trying different food vendors lol, but one ice cream and the park is involved count them in.

Sekou recommended the “2 Girls & a Cookshop” we got the Jerk Chicken Tacos- no complaints here. I love that it’s a mom and daughter business, and the food is bomb, so yea go support them.

“They” call me the park mom, because in real life we’re always at the park. Y’all look at lala’s press ons lmao I cannot. She think she’s me, I love me a press on and when I’m rushing I’m going to put them on right in the car like she did lol.

Also I tried a new hair do, how did I do? I really love it, and it’s about to be my new go to for when I’m going out. Youtube really be teaching all the thingssss.

I’m not the only paparazzi, so is dad lol.

Still can’t get over that we paid $9 for these fries lol, like what?!

Also can we talk about how beautiful Lala’s hair is omg I love it so much. I love that she loves her natural hair too. Although it’s A LOT to manage I’m making sure to take good care of it to grow beautifully and healthy.

Y’all Lala is turning 8!!!! in a couple of weeks I cannot believe we’ve been doing thins parenting thing for 8 years now, that’s wild! Shout outs to Sekou and I for doing the damn thing if I do say so myself.

I call Sekou the coolest dad, because he’s really just cool how you see him, everyday of the week. What dad you know is in the park this fly?!

I hope you all have a great week, and thank you for stopping by !!!

A few weeks ago we went to the splash pad in prospect park. It’s one of those gems that many people don’t know exist. I remember being a kid and my best friends grandmother used to take us all the time. It’s always fun seeing our kids do the things we did as children. The kids really enjoyed themselves, you should bring your kiddies if you haven’t already, and if y’all are in the midst of a heatwave like us take the kiddies somewhere where there is water. I called myself taking them to the park yesterday and regretted not going somewhere where there was water, because the heattttt my goodness.

Hold on!! can you all believe that summer is almost over?! I’m very curios to know where did summer go because no way is it almost back to school. We had so many things on our list of things to do and I feel like we barely did anything, ugh!! Hopefully we’ll be able to squeeze in a few things in the next couple of weeks. Any suggestions? I’m thinking Coney Island, the Bronx Zoo, and a few other things, wish me luck.

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.
