When I started my green living journey 7 years ago, my oldest daughter was already out of diapers, but I had all these grand intentions if I ever had another child. I just knew that I'd use cloth diapers and be super successful with it. Unfortunately, reality doesn't always match the fantasy. And with baby Juliza, cloth diapering just never [...]

When the New Year rolls around, so many of us start looking for ways to take better care of ourselves. We vow to eat healthier foods, lose weight, stop worrying so much...and the list goes on. My personal struggle at the moment is getting better sleep, which is challenging because of baby Juliza, who's never been a good sleeper. Most [...]

It's officially two weeks into the new year, and I have been pretty silent everywhere on social media — even here. I figured if there was a great reason to break my radio silence though, it's this: Baby Juliza is one! All these months have been leading up to this moment, and it's finally happened. My little lady has crossed [...]

I'm Wearing: Walmart statement earrings | Faded Glory plaid shirt | Eloquii satin midi skirt | Nine West Authority heels | Apt. 9 satchel purse (aff) Most years, I spend New Year's Eve in my pajamas, snuggling with my hubby and kids so we can watch the ball drop in Times Square and toast with some sparkling apple cider. Still, [...]

If there's one thing I wish I had done, it's stock up on diapers before we brought baby Juliza home from the hospital. Of course, she was born unexpectedly three weeks early, and we initially planned to do cloth diapering (let's just say that didn't work out), but still. I would've saved myself a lot of stress by having diapers [...]

I wish I could say my Christmas shopping was complete, but alas, it is not. I still have a few people to shop for, and I still have to get a few more items for our stockings. If you've procrastinated this year, like me, not to worry. You can still shop your conscience. Just head to your nearest Whole Foods [...]

If there's one gift that I know I can ALWAYS give my husband that he will never, ever complain about, it's cologne. The man likes to smell good, and I have to say, I have greatly benefitted from this particular characteristic over the years. Honestly, he goes through a bottle of cologne pretty quickly, so as much as he loves [...]

Maybe I really have aged since Ja'Naya was a baby, but baby Juliza exhausts me daily. She started walking at just 10 months old, and I fully admit that keeping up with her is an ongoing challenge. It's not just the fact that her sleep habits are still a bit irregular. She's 10 months old and already walking, and therefore, [...]
