Preschool Learning Activities For 4-Year-Olds
As my daughter has gotten more adjusted to preschool, I have started incorporating more learning activities at home that are great for 4-year-olds. One of the things that I love about my daughter’s preschool is that they utilize a curriculum with the kids. If you all remember my post where I discussed what to look for in a preschool, then you may recall that one of those things that I look for is a curriculum-based preschool. That is one of the biggest differences you will find between a daycare and a preschool and that is whether they follow an educational…

Grocery Shopping Tips For Our Family Of 4
I know that I’m not the only one who has noticed an increase in the prices of groceries so I thought that I would share some grocery shopping tips for our family of 4. After giving birth to my second daughter in 2021, we officially became a family of 4. Last year, I shared our laundry routine and in that post, I talked about how much more laundry it felt like I was doing since my second child came along. I feel the exact same way about groceries with our family of 4. Especially when my younger daughter started eating…

Curly Hair Care Routine For My Black 1-Year-Old Toddler
Since many of you enjoyed my curly hair care routine for my older daughter when I shared hers last year, I thought that I share what my 1-year-old routine looks like. For those that are new here, I have 2 daughters. I have a 4-year-old daughter as well as a 20-month-old toddler. When it comes to taking care of both of their hair, I started their hair care regimen early on. For the first few months, I would wash their hair a couple of times a week with baby shampoo. And then around the 6-month mark, I started washing their…

My Black 4 Year Old’s First Time Going To A Hair Salon
Some of you may recall my 4-year-old’s hair during her birthday last year, but if you don’t, she got her hair braided for the first time at a hair salon. This was a big deal because as I said, this was her very first time going to a hair shop to get her hair braided. For the past 4 years, I have been doing and taking care of her hair. Last year, I even shared her curly routine and how I manage her hair because she has a lot of it. But one of the things that I am not…

Black Owned Baby Care Brands To Try
When it comes to finding black-owned baby care brands, the internet can come in handy. I know as a black mom raising black children, it is important to me to make sure that I’m using baby and children’s products that will work for my girls. And if these products are also created by black women and black men, then there is a much higher chance that they would work for them. I know that since I’m a black stay-at-home mom sharing my life as a mom raising 2 black children here on the blog I have other black moms that…

Myths About Black Stay At Home Moms
You all would be surprised by some of the myths about black stay-at-home moms that I have heard. For those that don’t know, I am a stay-at-home mom and I am also a black woman. So that makes me a black stay-at-home mom. You may be wondering why the emphasis on being a “black” stay-at-home mom. Well in my experience, I don’t run across many black stay-at-home moms. It’s dang near unheard of in my own family because most of the women in my family worked while raising kids. So you can probably imagine the confused and puzzled expressions I…

Transitioning My 18-Month-Old Cosleeping Toddler To Her Crib
We are finally seeing some progress with transitioning my cosleeping toddler to her crib. If you follow me on Instagram, then you may or may not remember when I shared a post last summer saying that we were attempting to start sleep training my younger daughter who was 13 months then. And I hate to admit this but we failed with sleep training her. I couldn’t stand to hear the constant crying and neither could my husband so we decided to give up and go back to cosleeping. For those who may be new here, we have been cosleeping with…

New Year’s Resolutions For Moms
With the new year here, I want to share some New Year’s resolutions for moms that I have made as a mom of 2. If you have all been keeping up with me on the blog, then you know I shared some New Year’s resolutions last year that we made as a family. I found myself looking back through that post recently to see if we accomplished or maintained any of those resolutions. And I noticed that we did a pretty good job maintaining our resolutions throughout the year. The one thing that we didn’t do was take professional family…

What I Got My 4-Year-Old Daughter For Christmas
Even though Christmas is already over, I still wanted to share what I got my 4-year-old daughter for Christmas. This post was supposed to go out before Christmas but before I knew it, Christmas was already here and I had missed getting it out in time. I truly apologize for that because that was not my intention at all. I debated on whether I should still go forward with this post because I doubt that anyone is looking for gifts after Christmas. And I ultimately decided that I still wanted to share. Yes, Christmas is over, but the things that…
