There’s nothing sexier than a man wearing his ba There’s nothing sexier than a man wearing his baby. As we celebrate #BlackBabyWearingWeek I want to highlight that it’s not only moms out here wearing the babes—men do too. Now full disclosure: my husband wasn’t comfortable with me wrapping the babies to him. He said he just wasn’t comfortable with me wizardly ways with the fabric holding the baby in place. But when I get my first @ergobaby? Psh. He would pop BC in there and go about his day whether it was cleaning, parenting or resting. Baby wearing for dads offers a bonding experience similar to the one moms get with baby in our belly. They get to be all up on them and hear their heart beats, feel their warmth and smell their unique smells really allowing dad to imprint on them as well. While we’re past our babywearing days (unless @theveeprince brings me her baby to wear) some of my fondest memories with our children include wearing them. Does your co-parent wear your baby?
We went outside and I wore a Fanny pack. Friends. We went outside and I wore a Fanny pack. Friends... I’ve hit the age where I’m wearing sensible shoes and Fanny packs when I hit the streets—that are calling my name. For @nikiaphoenix’s birthday, we went to @rocksteadyatlanta to celebrate. This was my first evening out and it was way more ok than I had anticipated. The food was phenomenal. The company was even better. I enjoyed myself!
Happy Monday!. I think we’re going to make this Happy Monday!. I think we’re going to make this a weekly thing... Today’s chat was: • an update on my 100 days of intentionally investing in myself • quick shout out to my New Orleans prayer warrior @kholmes_incolor • affirmation that I’m protected from @nikiaphoenix • quick chat on how we feel about going back outside Join me next Monday! Maybe I’ll even set a time for this thing...
How I look when my tween asks my questions about t How I look when my tween asks my questions about the secks. Just kidding but also not 😂😂😂😂 I started having conversations with Mini about sex when she started asking me at about 9. I wasn’t ready for the conversation at all but I consulted with @moreilley, put my progressive mommy panties on and walked through the door. I’ve always wanted to raise sex positive kids that felt equipped with legit knowledge so they felt like they could make the decisions with a full deck when it comes time. But coming from an environment where I didn’t feel comfortable talking about has been quite the transition. Some tips for parents broaching the subject with your kids: • don’t make it weird. Yes, it’s hard to see your little person as a sexual being but they are. • start out with the biology of the act and then move on from there. • never lie to them about it. Seriously. They have access to things like Google. • have a mom-friend you can talk to who is also raising their kids similarly. I swear if I didn’t have Mo I might have gone off the deep end. • be prepared for questions. Like the hard kind. • it gets easier over time. Do you talk about sex with your kids yet? If you do, how do those conversations go?
New specs + new book = perfect wind down for a har New specs + new book = perfect wind down for a hard day. I don’t know who needs to hear this but....... hard days happen. You don’t have to recover from them right away. There doesn’t have to be overcompensation with rainbows and unicorns. Bad days are as normal as good days. One of the things I’m learning about myself is that when I’m in pain, I’m mean. Like alter-ego mean and it’s hard to shake. I hate it when I’m in pain because 1. Who likes to be in pain? And 2. I don’t like who I am when I’m mean. Especially unwarranted mean. And especially to those I love most. Instead of beating myself up, I’ve corrected myself to my family, got an attitude adjustment and enjoyed some laughs with them before crawling into my bed for some solace. Tomorrow is another day.
Committing To Myself For 100 Days.... I've been se Committing To Myself For 100 Days.... I've been seeing these 65, 100, etc day challenges all on the TikTok (yes, THE TikTok) and after talking about some goals with my husband, we've decided to embark on our own 100 day goals. The goal at the end of these 100 days is to feel better physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually because we spent this time intentionally pouring into ourselves. My daily commitments include: - moving my body a minimum of 30min daily - working out in the mornings - getting dressed - taking my vitamins & supplements - reading 20 min minimum - evening yoga If you want to join us on our challenge, do it! Drop your commitment in the comments section and check in with my stories/highlights for accountability!
