Welcome to our channel! Here, I share my story of being a single christian black mom on my journey of welcoming a brother and sister of a different race into my home through Adoption (via Foster Care). Join us as we document the joys, challenges, and highs & lows of a diverse and blended family. We aim to inspire and empower others by showcasing the power of love, acceptance, and the unbreakable bonds that form within a multiracial and adoptive family. We hope to break down stereotypes, promote inclusivity, and foster understanding in a world that is beautifully diverse.
Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to join us on our journey of love, growth, and unity. Together, let's spread positivity and embrace the beauty of diversity.

😂📚 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! 📚😂
And just like that… WE’RE BACK! 😭🤣
Lizzie is officially starting her LAST YEAR of Junior High 🥹❤️
(ummm… excuse me, WHO authorized her to grow up this fast?!),
and Eddie is heading into his FIRST YEAR of Middle School! 😱
So basically, one is saying, “I know how this works.” 😎And the other is walking in like, “Alright everybody… I have ARRIVED.” 🤣🤣
Because y’all KNOW Eddie. 😂
Meanwhile, Mama is over here taking pictures, giving last minute instructions nobody asked for, and trying to figure out how BOTH of my babies got this big so FAST. 😂
Here’s to a new school year filled with good grades, new memories, great friends, LOTS of laughter… and PLEASE LORD, let’s keep up with our water bottles, backpacks, assignments, and everything else we walked out of this house WITH. 🙏🏾🤣
8th Grade + 6th Grade… HERE WE COME! 🎒✏️📚
Have an AMAZING first day, Lizzie & Eddie! ❤️
Mama loves you both more than you’ll ever know. 🥹❤️
LET THE 2026–2027 SCHOOL YEAR BEGIN! 🎉📚

I know it’s late, but tonight’s vlog is still coming. I was busy during part of the day, and it put me off schedule.

When you say “Let’s take a nice Christmas picture”
and THIS is what you get…..
Eddie: choosing chaos 🤪✌🏻
Lizzie: just a floating head & hair 💁🏻♀️
Me: smiling through it all because… motherhood.☺️
These are my Blessings, my whole heart, and my daily comedy show.
2025 is wrapping up and baby… we are READY for 2026 😂🎄✨
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Hope you had an AMAZING day.

Yesterday we hit the Young Entrepreneur Event and BABY… I was officially STAFF 😂💼
Lizzie had Creeta’s Creation, Edgar had The Art Man’s Shop, and I had… a full-time job working BOTH tables at the same time. They had me clocked in, overworked, and underpaid 😩🤣
But listen, they SHOWED OUT! The customers loved them so much they won Best Sales Pitch!! 🏆🔥
It was supposed to be cold and rainy, but God said, “Not today!” and gave us sunshine and sales ☀️💰
I am EXHAUSTED… but proud. It was a GREAT day 😅🤍

I just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for the incredible support on my recent video "THE BIG CHANGE! (WE HAD TO GO)", announcing our homeschooling journey with Eddie. Your kind words, encouragement, and positive vibes mean the world to us as we start this new chapter. We’re so excited to dive into this adventure, and knowing we have such a wonderful community behind us makes it even more special. Here’s to learning, growing, and making amazing memories together! 🌟📚

The Lord has Blessed me with another year. I am 42! And I woke up this morning to these beautiful decorations that my kids & Nana stayed up late last night putting together. They said that I am always working hard making their day so special, they wanted to make mine feel special as well, and that they did. I LOVE IT! 🥹🥰💜

And just like that, Summer Break is over. It was the First Day of School today. They are both at new schools & are riding the bus! 🚌. (Of course I’ll have a Vlog for y’all, and you’ll see how their day went… There were some tears 🥹😢)💜 #firstdayofschool
