“Currently On Holiday”

Life truly is like a box of Bertie Bott’s Every flavour jelly beans, sometimes it’s like poop 💩, other times it’s like pineapple 🍍. You just never know what flavour of day/week/month/year you’re going to get. 😅🤷🏾‍♀️ Thanks to Cor….. ‘the virus that will not be named’, 🙄 the munchkin is out of school for […]

Story Time! 📚

“I want some story time please “, the munchkin tells me thrusting a book (or my iPad) into my hands. 📖 What this usually entails is me reading aloud while the munchkin continues to play video games on his iPad. If I stop reading he will: 1. stop playing and look at me. 👀 2.stop […]

Preponderance Of Evidence

Affirmative ACTION?! 🤔

(No, this isn’t a post about hiking like I promised 😅) Growing up I used to watch the Roseanne show. I was young then and had no concept of race or how being black is perceived in American society. Her shenanigans has prompted this post. 🙄 The munchkin happens to be biracial with me being […]
