Valentines Day is a great excuse to say ‘be mine’! Pick up something lovely for yourself, a treat for your littles or a goodie for that special someone. My husband and I always exchange cards, stay in for dinner at home, and toast to our love, of course with our little man. I love our tradition.

I’d like to welcome 2021 with open arms, an open heart and an open mind. The heaviness of 2020 has truly put life into perspective. As we enter the new year, I will gather what I learned, reflect on my growth and use it as motivation to embrace whats most important. There is much to hold gratitude for.

I meant to share this post earlier in the month, but better late than never. I’d like to say that very few makeup days this past year helped with refreshing my skin, but really a great skincare product can do wonders if used properly and consistently. A few requests came in to share my go-to’s, so here is what I loved in 2020!

The holidays! The joy and cheer it brings is a welcomed and happy distraction from the trying year we’ve had. So, bring on the mistletoe, garland, champagne and all the gifts! While I am quite excited to shop and ring in the season, I want to make an effort to shop and give gifts with purpose, like buying from companies that source ethically and produce sustainable products or by purchasing a gift that gives back to help those in need.

A bit long winded here, but I want to share some tips and highlights from our pandemic getaway experiences. Traveling is a touchy subject and the COVID situation is constantly changing, so I understand the concerns. By no means do I take what is going on lightly. Do what is best for yourself, your families and others. Take the time to assess where to travel, how to get there and what to do, safely. With that said, I received questions about our travel during this pandemic, so I hope it offers a bit of comfort and ideas if you are making travel plans.

This year feels like one long season, but alas, Autum is here! As we adjust to virtual Pre-school and updating our work and stay at home routines, I was hanging on to every bit of Summer as long as I could. Switching gears now, and I am truly ready for a change in the air, which includes adding some items into my shopping cart and on to my wish list. Here is a roundup of what I’ve recently invested in and what I have my eye on.

I love when I’m asked about our favorite toys, products and activities that keep our little one busy. Besides ‘adventure’ walks (these days, ‘adventure drives’), bouncing in the bouncy house or playing in the dirt, I find much joy in sourcing a great toy or book. As best I can, I try to purchase thoughtful items I think Arthur will get much use out of and that have a learning or creative aspect. But not to worry, he has plenty of random toys and missing pieces floating around the house.

I have been reflecting on how I can make lasting impactful changes in my life to fight racism, amplify Black voices, provide support to the Black community, and diversify my son’s life, while continuing to listen and learn. Because Black Lives Matter. It’s up to me and my family to do the work on how to be better, and how to support Black and People of Color lives, today and always.
