Been kind of down this week.  Feelings of inadequateness and like laziness.  That I should be doing so much more but I'm not.  Or that I am doing too much and not paying attention to my family.  Here is a little word vomit for you.

I've been asked this question multiple MULTIPLE times and I'm finally ready to come clean and give you a definitive answer.

hmmmm feeling sad...lets talk about it!  And why asking for help doesn't mean your failing and the actual fact is that it shows EXTREME strength!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better!!!

Trying to juggle everything right now and maintain your mental health is hard.  We have this need to have a perfect "work-life balance" and it puts a lot of pressure on us!

Virtual school teacher is something that I didn't know go to college for and I want to quit this job RIGHT NOW!  Anyone with me on this??? Lets vent about it!

You ever get advice that you just did not ask for and you don't know what to do with it?  You are not alone.  Here is my story [insert Law & order: SVU *dunn dunn]

How many of you are struggling extra hard right now as school is about to start.  Don't be ashamed...so am I.  The first step is admitting you need help and figuring out how to get the help you need!  Don't be afraid to ask for help, asking for help does not make you weak.  Asking for help show great strength!

A lot is happening in the world and I needed a safe place to have some word vomit.  Its hard being a black mother with mixed kids with all that is happening in the world.

I got a mini makeover this past weekend and I want to share with you some pics from my experience over at Cheesecake Boutique.  They have a great staff that can dress you from head to toe and make you feel as fabulous as they did me!

I wanted to talk about something that I've been dealing with myself which is called impostor syndrome. Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".  What does this mean for me?  I know that I have this whole series that I want to focus on but this spoke to my heart and I've been dealing with this recently and I was like if I'm dealing with this right now there's someone else that is dealing with this too so let me take a break from what I had scheduled to touch base on this.

Raise your hand if you find yourself staring at your social media news-feed and judging other parents at what looks like their perfect life/family!  News flash....ITS ALL A LIE!
