I’m not one to really make “resolutions” or start the year out with a vision board….. but one goal I have FOR SURE this year is to get Yazzie potty trained….. even if it’s just day time training for a little while!!! She’s shown all the classic signs for at least 6 months now: pullingContinue reading “(62.) BIG girl status…”

(59.) Wasn’t Ready
Today our Angel took me down memory lane. And I wasn’t ready. My husband’s been looking for his USB drive for the last couple of weeks. We’ve been in this new home for about 4 months now… and some items are still bagged away or in boxes somewhere and we have no idea where thingsContinue reading “(59.) Wasn’t Ready”
(58.) WE MADE IT!!
Just like THAT…… she’s 1. And we made it…. we ALL survived the first year in one piece. I’ve spent the last two days reliving the events leading to our Yazzie joining us earthside. I can recall our every move from the moment I had my “bloody show”, to making a Whole Foods run…. andContinue reading “(58.) WE MADE IT!!”
(57.) Mama’s Day
It’s been a while. Life has completely taken over. Yazzie has completely taken over. I feel like my hustling, business mind is back. Mom Brain is still in affect. But my drive is in full force now. I’m more determined than ever to build our brand and legacy and show Yazzie from an early ageContinue reading “(57.) Mama’s Day”
(56.) Please & Thank You
When me and my husband first started dating, I dreamt about our son. For the bulk of our relationship, I’ve dreamt maybe 4 dreams in total, of this little boy. Because of this, I always felt like our first child was going to be a boy. When we lost our Angel, we were 1.5 weeksContinue reading “(56.) Please & Thank You”
(55.) Postpartum
So before becoming a mother, I had to figure out how to understand my body and conceive. Then throughout my pregnancies, I learned about the common occurrences of miscarriage, and that my body is utterly amazing. And now this part……. Again… I’m figuring it out on my own: this “phase” after having a baby. ThisContinue reading “(55.) Postpartum”
(54.) My Black is Beautiful
“My Sweetface, As you get older, you will quickly learn that there are some not so nice people in the world. The texture of your hair… The color of your skin… Everything that makes you, YOU… Will not be accepted by everyone. And those people will say and even try to do hurtful things. WhenContinue reading “(54.) My Black is Beautiful”
(53.) IT HAPPENED
So it happened…. What my husband and I dreaded for the last couple of weeks… finally happened. At the first sight of this overly excited movement, jolting back with an extra blast of energy exerted into the very existence of this “fall”, we knew we had to prepare our hearts for the halt that wouldContinue reading “(53.) IT HAPPENED”
(52.) LOVE
I love this little girl so much. They say a Mother knows this “love” from the womb. It’s immediate. And although I did fall in love with Yazzie at birth, what I hold in my heart for her as the days pass is incomparable. Something about knowing that this tiny human needs us, just makesContinue reading “(52.) LOVE”
(51.) Pumping Mom
I feel like I’ve told this story a million times…. I pump. I am a pumping mom. Yes, before Yazzie was born me and my husband were sort of indifferent with the idea of breastfeeding. We agreed on breastmilk. But wanted to bottle-feed as soon as possible. Why? Well for one, we wanted my husbandContinue reading “(51.) Pumping Mom”
