This is one of our recent members of the bookshelf, and we love it. Reminding our kids that they are enough is super important, and this book is such a good way to remind them. “I Am Enough” by Grace Byers is LoveDemitra approved.
I Am Enough
Mommy Medicine
Sometimes all we need is a little mommy medicine. No matter how old you are, nothing is better than some ‘Mommy Medicine’. I don’t know about you but I still call my mother everyday, for advice, for reassurance, when I’m sick, yup pretty much for everything. A mothers Job really is never done, even when you’re grown!
“Mommy Medicine” by Edwidge Danticat is another one of Lala’s favorites. If you don’t have it you should definitely add to you bookshelf!
How many of you still need some of that ‘Mommy Medicine’?
Sibling Love
The sibling love I love to see. Alani really is the best big sister, she cares and loves Aleise like no other. Not everyone is made to be an older sibling, that why she was specifically chosen. I pray on their relationship all the time, that they will be there for one another when ever they need each other.
Are you the oldest, middle, or youngest? I’m the youngest (the vital piece of the sibling clan)
Princess Hair
Hello Fam
I hope you all had a great start to your new week. I was stopping by to ask you all what kid books are you all reading to your kiddies? Also, will you all be interested in me posting what books we’re reading?
Last night while reading Lala one of her favorites “Princess Hair” I said you know how many little girls can benefit from reading this book.
Lala has always gone to school with girls whose hair looks a lot different than her, so I make it my due diligence to teach her to love her hair just the way that it is. She has came home and told me stories about this one not liking her hair, and no lie her responses are epic. Y’all remember that time one of Lala’s classmates said he didn’t like her hair (Kids are so damn rude), and she said “well I don’t care if you don’t like it, because I like it” I swear Lala really makes this parenting thing, such a great experience. Can’t wait till I retell her all these stories.
Sometimes she would tell me that she wants her hair like this one, and I’d stop her right in her tracks; “Who are you”, and ” who are they”, “you can only be you”. One time she said she wanted her hair like Rapuzels, i said “well too bad Rapunzel can’t braid her hair so beautifully like yours, If I were Rapunzel I’d want my hair like yours”. One tip about raising kids; you have to get creative lol, because they’ll keep you on your toes, and you gotta think quick.
I say all of this to say lets teach our black daughters to love themselves, as well as their hair, this book “Princess Hair” by Sharee Miller can help you with that too.
Have you all had any similar stories? I wanna hear?
5 Mile Run this past weekend
Hey Y’all,
I’m still on a high from this past weekend. My crew (FHWlifestyle) and I ran a marathon, not a registered marathon, but OUR marathon. I’ve been making vision boards for the past like 6 years, and every year I say I want to run a marathon, I’m so happy that I can cross it off my list. This is one of those accomplishments that has you feeling invicible, and able to take over the world.
Some things really just don’t come easy, and it’s those things that you work so hard for that means so much, well at least to me. It allows me to push myself harder and harder, to continue to challenge myself. It’s real life confirmation that you legit are in control of your mind, and your actions, so make the best of it and don’t doubt yourself. Of course accomplishments don’t happen over night, but everyday just be a better person for yourself, do something small that will make you better the next day. This can come in all forms, whether you’re working out, being a parent, a better partner, business woman, whatever it is give it your all, be patient, and reap the benefits you worked your ass off for; no one can take that away from you. You can lose money, lose a job, a partner, anything thats tangible can be taken away, but when you have faith, you work hard, you will always win. Like I say all the time, be kind, be loving, I stand by that all the time, love really trumps all, love isn’t weak, so love yourself most importantly.
I love you all, and honestly hope this can motivate and inspire you to do something for yourself, to make you better. Remember it’s a marathon, NO RUSH!
-Love Demitra.
