My Mema
In honor of Grandparents Day this coming Sunday, this week’s post is from the archives. Ironically, it was originally shared about a year ago and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I need it again at this time in my life and maybe the same is true for you.
First Tip: Decide if the Assessment is True
Has your daughter ever said (through sighs and tears) that another girl ruined her day? If your daughter is anything like the ones I’ve worked with over the years, the reason for the ruination could be:

We all have our favorite dish prepared by another family member and we all agree on who can claim “top chef” status for a particular specialty. For my great-grandmother, “Big Mama”, it was peach cobbler. Ohmygoodness! To this day, I have…
Marvelous Monday
What a MARVELOUS MONDAY! Why? Well, not only did I wake up and have a chance to be an active participant in this day, but it’s MARVELOUS because I had a fantastic weekend with two of my younger cousins, Latrice and Shanice. They are first cousins to one another and 3 months apart. It was fantastic because not…
