Getting darker earlier which is lovely. Took my two year old in a neighborhood sunset walk. She was thrilled to talk about the moon and look at Halloween lights #LittleThings #MommaScholar #BlackJoy

Totally winning at family gatherings. Arrived at the in-laws only to open the door to the trunk and the Mac n cheese fell out on the driveway 🤦🏾‍♀️ #Fail #YouHadOneJob

Fortunately they don’t do Mac n cheese as a normal thing so it’s low stakes. Just wanted to make something my toddler would for sure eat :) it’ll be a gathering full of memories!

My sister gave me the greatest gift the other day. She had me on FaceTime & told me that we’re doing great #parenting our toddler. She even shared examples and observations! I love the way #BlackWomen breathe life into you when you don’t even know you need it. #BlackJoy ❤️
