Is anyone as excited about summertime as me?! Also, does anyone else make a calendar of events for the family? I have a list of things I want my family and I to take part in this summer, since outside is opennnn; We outsideeeee. We have to make up for last years tragedy. I’m excited for Sekou and I to make life long memories with the kiddies, to hang out with family, and friends, and just do things we haven’t done before.

This past weekend the girls and I met up with my sister friends; Ariel and Widza, and their daughters. We had a fun filled day at the Brooklyn Bridge park. We went to the playground, got pizza from Grimaldi’s ( it was my first time having it) went on the carousel, and finished off with Ice Cream; well we actually went to the girls Great Grandma’s house for a BBQ after. We such had an eventful day, and these are the kind of days I’m looking forward to for summer. What kind of summer are you all manifesting- eventful, or relaxing, or both?

It’s a heatwave out her in NYC. In the summertime when it’s extremely hot outside, and there’s nothing really to do we go to the park. I like to get out before the peak of the heat, so we’re usually out by 8am. Best believe the girls also have their swimming suits on so that they’re able to get wet. And, the towel dresses; GENIUS. What do you guys do when it’s blazing outside??

Also, Look at Lizzy on the monkey bars. She obviously has been watching her big sister, and couldn’t wait for her chance to be in action. I just love how brave our children are, and how much they are up for a challenge. I’m a park mom, and these are the park kids lol.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. To my fiancé, our dad of the house, we love you and we appreciate you for all that you do for us. We’ve gone through just about every stage in life so far, but this by far is the most challenging, and most rewarding. Happy I get to do this parent thing with you. The love our daughters have for you is unmatched. The way they run to you as soon as you get home, smother you with kisses or how Aleise thinks you’re hers, and only hers- I love to see it. Keep doing the damn thing babe.

Love Demi

Today we celebrate our baby Aleise, she is now 2!!! Our little prissy princess, if anyone knows Aleise she’s such a princess, and moves so gracefully. She loves anything her sister does, and is so ambitious just like her; She’s really in the living room doing flips just like her sister (well almost). Our baby really is the smartest 2 year old ever, she’s also so respectful, and makes me feel like such a proud mom when she says “Thank You Mommy” “It’s okay Mommy” or when she randomly comes to Sekou and I and says ” I Love You Mommy” “I Love You Daddy” ugh, my heart. I am so thankful that we were handpicked to help guide and nurture her through this life, and so excited to take on year 2!

Happy Happy Birthday.

-Love Mommy

A few weeks ago we caught the Cherry Blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. This our second year visiting, and evry year it’s so beautiful. I remember a few years ago I would always try to visit, but it was always post bloom, so now I literally stalk their website to get updates around the season. I wish we would’ve gone when they were in bloom, and not peak bloom. Peak bloom seemed very similar to post bloom, most of the leaves were falling off, still beautiful nonetheless.

The Botanic Garden is so huge, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the entire garden.This year we went in from the Eastern Parkway Entrance for the first time, and there’s a open garden directly in front of the entrance; when I tell you soooooo beautiful, so serene, you can literally stay there, relax, meditate, and feel so refreshed. The kiddies had a good time running around and smelling the flowers. If you all go, let me know which section I should visit.

If yoou all missed the cherry blossoms this year, make sure you check for them again next year around April/May.
