Everyday I’m hustlin’

Everyday I'm hustlin'. Hustlin' to get everything done. Hustlin' to take care of my family. So today, I'm taking a mama vacation. Just when I started to feel like I was going to loose my mind from the demands of motherhood, work, blogging, and cleaning the house I realized that I had several vacation days saved up at work...and I haven't had a "me" ...

Learning to speak boy

Forget my four years of college and two years of graduate school. Nothing I learned there prepared me for what I do on a daily basis....communicate with a tiny little BOY all day long.
