I met my younger self for coffee today 💙

02/05/2025

This was my child’s lunch today.

Nothing cut up in a cute shape. No hand written note. There’s not theme or decorative lunch box. Nothing she could heat up. No separate containers. Fruit thrown in a plastic bag.

Sometimes I throw in a little pizzaz. Something extra.

Sometimes I yell as she is getting out at school drop off “oh crap, hot lunch today!”

And guess what?

I’m still a magic mom ⭐️

Happy Black History Month!
Day 3

George Washington Carver

Carver was born an enslaved person in the 1860s in Missouri. The exact date of his birth is unclear, but some historians believe it was around 1864, just before slavery was abolished in 1865. As a baby, George, his mother, and his sister were kidnapped from the man who enslaved them, Moses Carver. The kidnappers were slave raiders who planned to sell them. Moses Carver found George before he could be sold, but not his mother and sister. George never saw them again.

After slavery was abolished, George was raised by Moses Carver and his wife. He worked on their farm and in their garden, and became curious about plants, soils, and fertilizers. Neighbors called George “the plant doctor” because he knew how to nurse sick plants back to life. When he was about 13, he left to attend school and worked hard to get his education.

In 1894 he became the first Black person to graduate from Iowa State College, where he studied botany and fungal diseases, and later earned a master’s degree in agriculture. In 1896, Booker T. Washington offered him a teaching position at Tuskegee Institute, a college for African Americans.

Perspective is everything.

The first picture in this series speaks volumes.

Mess is often related to failure.
Laziness.

It’s why when people show up unnnanounced we start to ask to be forgiven for it

“Don’t mind the mess we have been so busy.”
“I know it’s so messy, I’m going to clean it today!”

Between the lines you are really saying

“Please do not think less of me”

I no longer apologize.

It’s likely when you stop by -my house, or at least part of it will be a mess. I won’t apologize to you for it. I won’t start cleaning in a panic. I will not mention it at all.

Because I’m not a failure. Or lazy. Or any of the negative words that seem to be associated with a messy house.

I simply putting mostly everything first.
Because for me at least the choice is usually

Dishes vs my kids, my marriage, myself

And for me, it’s an easy choice.

I personally think the best and funniest thing taylor swift could do is just.. exactly what she did last year - win AOTY, announce a new album, p**s everyone off. And I'll eat it up.

✊🏾 You know Madam C.J. Walker but have you heard of ANNIE TURNBO MALONE?! 🤔

Annie was a pioneering Black entrepreneur, philanthropist, and one of the first Black women to become a millionaire. She was the founder of, Poro College, a highly successful beauty and cosmetology school that trained thousands of Black women in haircare and business.

Before Madam C.J. Walker, Malone developed and marketed a line of haircare products specifically for Black women, including her famous "Wonderful Hair Grower." Her business empire expanded across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Africa, creating jobs and economic opportunities for Black women at a time when few existed.

Despite her success, Malone is often overshadowed by her former employee, Madam C.J. Walker, who later built her own beauty empire. However, Malone’s impact on Black beauty culture, entrepreneurship, and community building remains profound. She was also a generous philanthropist, donating millions to Black colleges, orphanages, and organizations like the NAACP.

Her legacy lives on as a trailblazer who paved the way for Black businesswomen and the modern Black haircare industry

99.9% of doctors: “Do not confirm RFK jr. He will harm our country.”

Is being a stay at home mom is a privilege? Or a necessity? Or both?

If I went to work- my paycheck would not cover gas and childcare

The dishes were done.
Forks and bowls scrubbed with Dawn

Dinner was prepped
And counters were wiped

Floors were swept, mopped
Not a crumb in sight

The trash was full
She bagged it up
Took it to the garage and said

Oh f**k

In these unprecedented times, one thing I know for sure is that I WILL be buried wearing my bellybutton ring
