For the first 7 or 8 years of her life I was sad every birthday because I thought her sweetness and joy would fade away with age. Last night Jayda asked me if I was sad she was turning 10 and I said no. Because now I’ve realized her kindness and special light is not going anywhere. It’s just who she is.

Wishing a happy birthday to the sweetest 10 year old I know!!

Did you know children who get the right nutrition

Did you know children who get the right nutrition in the first 1000 days are more likely to be born with a healthy birth weight, have a lower rate of illnesses, and fewer behavioral problems in kindergarten? I hadn’t a clue, but Lee Lee is coming up on her 2nd birthday so she’s closing in on 1000 days and I’m reflecting on what I did right, and where I can do better.

I took my prenatal and ate pretty well during pregnancy. I was able to breastfeed her well past 6 months and that’s when we introduced her to table foods. Not long after her first birthday things went a little downhill.

According to first1000Days 70-80% of toddlers eat some type of dessert, sweet, or sugar-sweetened beverage at least once per day (Lee Lee included). Thankfully she also heavily enjoys her fruits and vegetables. But I’m becoming more mindful of the foods and drinks we’re offering (and hiding the sweets).

It’s me! A few months ago I never would have con

It’s me! A few months ago I never would have considered this quick snap “instagram worthy” and would have tucked it away never to share. Now? I’ve realized there are more important things to consider in a photo beyond it fitting a color-coordinating feed.

The story for example. I’ve been teaching Jayda the significance of a satin bonnet for awhile now and tonight we introduced Lee Lee and her curls to the technique.

I never want to forget her squished face and big smile the first time she tried it on (and yes, she ripped it off right before bed).

As you capture pieces of your story however you can, no matter what camera you have on, share them. Because those little moments are instagram worthy too.

“Enjoy the little things. Cause one day you may look back and realize they were the big things”.

I recently overheard my 9-year-old daughter having a video chat with her friend. Casually she said she was dyslexic. Moments later her friend mentioned her own anxiety. I smiled at how confident these girls were in owning who they are without shame or embarrassment.

Each of my kids has strengths and weaknesses… ALL of us do. This time at home together is challenging because we were thrust into it without much of a warning. But a positive side is it’s giving me a chance to learn more about each of them, their learning styles, and how they learn best.

I wrote a new blog post in partnership with Understood.org (which has been a favorite resource of mine while learning to navigate educating a child with a learning difference) and I’m sharing some of the ways we’re changing up our learning strategies and focusing on their strengths instead of their weaknesses.

“The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapes

“The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest” -Henry David Thoreau.

Among my inexpensive pleasures are wildflower picking, meditating, exercising, and photography.

Taking photos doesn’t need to be an expensive thing. Just capture the moment as it is with whatever camera you have. You’ll be happy you did later.

I totally made my little sisters snap this photo with me today and I can already imagine the smile it’ll bring when it pops up in my memories years from now.

Capturing bits of our world is a passion my good friend lashawnwiltz and I have had for a long time. That’s why we created the #CherishEveryday365 photo project.

When you both want to be Tiana 👑 but your siste

When you both want to be Tiana 👑 but your sister makes you be the frog.

Jayda squealed when I told her the new about Splash Mountain being reimagined to a Princess and the Frog ride. She’s never been on Splash Mountain but she’s considering it now that it’ll feature one of our favorite Disney Princesses.

Her little sister is already a thrill seeker and I I imagine if it wasn’t for the height limit she’d want a front seat on this new ride.

I find it so inspiring that something so many have been wishing for for so long is finally coming true. And I’m so proud of Disney for making this change.

What are your thoughts on this reimagined ride? #representationmatters #amplifyblackvoices #princesstiana
