HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

My little gymnast!

My wild child loves being in the gym. KC is very much a free spirit so  any organized activity is a hit or miss depending on how she's feeling at any given time. She's been going since she was around 18 months old. She loves her teachers Miss Mary and Miss Amanda. Does she listen? Not always lol I mean come on she's 2 for pete sake!

Her favorite thing to do is the rock climbing wall. Not something you think you'd see in gymnastics gym , right? Well it's actually really awesome. It helps the kiddos with their strength and motor skills. KC mastered that the second time she tried it. The climbing wall used to be part of the toddler obstacle course but at her last class it wasn't there anymore. KC looked pretty upset by it. So instead of the rock wall she runs back and forth across the balance beam. That might be      partially my fault. I did get her a balance beam last Christmas.

I love seeing her learn and have so much fun. Who knew mommy and me gymnastics could be so fun?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ICObuty Hair Bow REVIEW!

My daughter is all about the hair bows. Ok maybe I should say her grandma is all about the hair bows. So of course we have to have bows for every outfit and holiday. These holiday bows by ICObuty are totally adorable. Not only are the colors bright but the ribbons used to make the bows is sturdy and can stand up to the toddler tantrums that we all know and "love".  The clips themselves are covered with ribbon to help avoid scratching your little one's head. Overall these are awesome bows to add to my daughter's collection.

Sorry!

So I've been away for a few days. We've been traveling and I kinda let life get in the way. Don't worry I have tons of pictures and stories to share. I'll be back to my regular blogging on Monday. For right now I'll just share these two. They're a hoot. <3 nbsp="" p="">

This is not ok!

Much like everyone else in the world I sat up last night waiting for election results. I had so much faith and hope in America. I was wrong. Oh so very wrong. Last night America allowed hate to win. How do we explain this to our children? How do we explain it to ourselves? How can people justify hate , racism , mocking and being OK with sexual assault? As a woman of color who gave birth to a tiny woman of color I am afraid. I don't even know what to say or feel right now.  I guess I can take comfort in the fact that Hillary won the popular vote. More people voted against hate than for it. We just weren't in the right states. My daughter has gymnastics today and I am literally afraid to leave my house as a person of color.

I'm a friend and ally to and for the LGBT community , I'm a friend to Muslims, I'm a friend to Mexicans , I'm a friend to women and our rights as women. These things are the reasons I am so shell shocked right now.

My timeline is making me giggle this morning. The people who dished out the most hate are now singing the song of ok now lets be nice. Nope sorry I can't and wont be nice to you. I remember you saying that my rights as a woman and a human being meant nothing. I remember you insulting babies and calling them ugly just because their grandparents happen to be the Clintons. I remember when you said "f*gs" shouldn't be allowed to marry. I remember when you said it's ok for the police to stop people of color "just in case... well you know" (no asshat I don't know). I remember when you made fun of sexual assault victims because being grabbed by the pussy is a BAD THING. I remember when you made excuses for the mocking of people with disabilities as "well he wasn't talking about THAT reporter". I remember you saying that NO Muslim should "ever" be allowed into our country even if they were born here because they aren't "real Americans". So no I can't be nice to you. Now that I know these are the true feelings in your heart I can't even have you or your views in my life. When someone shows you who they REALLY are ....believe them. I'm believing!.

*Sorry if this post is all over the place. My head is kind of all over the place right now*

Au Fudge

I've wanted to go to Au Fudge since before it even opened. For those who don't know this is the new hip and trendy restaurant that is not only filled with great food but is totally kid friendly. Maybe kid friendly really isn't even the phrase I should use more like kid-centric. From the start our visit was amazing.  We went on a Wednesday so it wasn't crowded at all. I loved that the staff paid a lot of attention to my 2 year old (she liked it too lol). I ordered a burger and a trio of fries (sweet potato , regular and truffle). My daughter had the sweet potato fries and the regular ones due to her allergies but hey she loved them. After lunch I checked her into the creative space for $15. Which to me is quite the bargain. Before I could even sign her in she was off and playing. They have so many awesome toys. Many of which my daughter has in her room so they were toys she knew and loved. Which was a perk. Dixie the Au Pair was super nice and very attentive. After I made sure she  was settled in my friend and I went and sat in the outdoor space and had desert. I had the churro sliders , which I have declared one of the best thing I've ever eaten. My friend had the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Which was also beyond amazing.  Our waiter Danny was up beat , fun and a pleasure to deal with. Overall I am in love with this place and hope it stays around for a long time. We will for sure be back!
