Jaxon’s First Trip to the County Fair

Jaxon’s First Fair This past weekend our family had a blast! We decided to take Jaxon to the county fair. This time last year, I was at this very same fair basically 9 months pregnant, chowing down on funnel cake, cotton candy, chicken-on-a-stick, and everything in between. At the time, I had in my mind that Jaxon would not be old enough to go to the fair, but flash forward to a year later with ... Read the Post

My Apology to Dove: What Happens When Black Twitter Reacts too Quickly

My Apology to Dove What happens when Black Twitter, Black Facebook, Black Instagram, and black people, in general, react too quickly? This is my apology to Dove, from Black Twitter. Here is why I, for one, am sorry but really NOT sorry. Dove recently issued an apology for an online advertisement that at first glance, appeared to be racist, and ... Read the Post

[bigletter]What happens when Black Twitter reacts too quickly? Here is my apology to Dove, for their recent advertisement that received a lot of backlash. Black Twitter, and the rest of the internet is always quick to jump to the defense on something that appears to be racist. Thanks to the internet, we have the voices and the spaces to feel free enough to let our grievances be known. We are able to let advertisers know when racism and lack of diversity will not be tolerated. What happens though, when we are so conditioned to react negatively, to something that is not actually negative? Do we feel bad? Do we apologize? I for one, feel the need to.[/bigletter]

Jaxon's Woodland Friends: A Fall Baby Shower Theme Woodland Critters, Fall Decor, and Close Friends Just a short year ago, 20 of my closest friends and family members gathered to celebrate the arrival of Baby Jaxon.

Throwing a baby shower can be as easy as you make it, or as difficult as you make it. In my case, I took on the role of planning, decorating, and executing my own baby shower. With the help of my mom and best friend, we pulled off a very intimate, themed baby shower. The theme, Woodland Friends, is the perfect fall theme. Decorations are easy to find, and the possibilities are limitless. All of which can be done on a small budget!

It has been 13 months since I *officially* graduated college, 10 months since I've given birth, and 13 months since I started my new job. Basically, an entire year since my life drastically changed. On the outside, I make it look like a breeze. I know this because people never hesitate to tell me how easy I make it all look. However, it is everything but. But, does anyone ever consider how I really might feel? I don't want to self-diagnose myself with depression of any kind because I am not a professional. I do know, however, that there is something going on. Everyone knows about postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. Therefore, I do not feel like I need to mention that in this post. But what about post-grad depression? What is it, and how do we as college graduates deal with it?

Here’s Why You Should Nap at Work

Why You Should Nap at Work "While y'all are sleeping, I'm grinding." [dropcap custom_class="wh"]Blah, blah blah. We've heard it before. For SOME strange reason, people believe that less sleep equals success. But in actuality, it means the opposite. Every day, without fail, I feel completely drained halfway through the workday.

Blah, blah blah. We've heard it before. For SOME strange reason, people believe that less sleep equals success. But in actuality, it means the opposite. Every day, without fail, I feel completely drained half way through the work day. There is no set time when it occurs, and food is not always a factor. I WANT TO NAP. At this point in life, I greatly envy my child, and everyone in pre-K and Kindergarten because they get to have nap time. Dear God, forgive me for all of the times I took nap time for granted. Unfortunately, taking a nap at work is a no-no; or so it seems. As if we millennials want another reason to be seen as lazy. However, in my college days, if I was facing a pressing deadline, or really needed to study, I would take a nap first. I always woke up feeling refreshed, and I'd crank out A (or B) quality work. My productivity soars after a refreshing nap. The question is simple, how do we get around being able to nap at work? Well, my friends, I am here to tell you why you should nap at work.
