While I sit and plan out my content for April & Ma

While I sit and plan out my content for April & May I can’t help but be flooded with uncertainties. We really don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Since tomorrow is uncertain, I figured I would share my thoughts throughout this quarantine. I’m tagging some of my favorite #ATL influencers to do the same @iamnikkifree @wondrea @rhondamarierawls @nzingaimani @kennipowe @naturellebombshell @societyofharlow @heytrinasmall @jasminescrockett @lifesamother_
Here are 3 Things I‘ve been thinking about During Social Distancing::: 1. We are much more creative than we give ourselves credit for. Seriously these past two weeks have blown my mind watching everyone maintain their sanity and hustle. Finding ways to tap into our craft. Finding alternative measures to keep our businesses alive and thriving. We are amazing.

2. Family matters first. Really, when things hit the fan, nothing else matters. I have been seeing people find out their loved ones have tested positive for the virus, and it’s really heartbreaking. Babies, pioneers of the family, the cool aunties... and the uncertainties of it all. Imagine your infant testing positive and you can’t even be in the same room as them for two whole weeks. INSANE. TERRIFYING. It makes my heart break.
3. Focus on what you can control, only. Naturally I’m a control freak, so this pandemic really takes a toll on me. Not being able to really navigate my day-to-day is tough, especially when you’re use to your system. I saw a post recently that said “focus on what you can control.” And it spoke to me on so many levels. While things are out of our hands, there are aspects of our life that we can control and that’s priority. I can control my marriage the evolvement of the relationship with my husband. I can control the bond I’m developing with my son. I can control how hard I hustle every single day to make sure I create my own opportunities. I can control what I internalize and allow in my safe spaces. I can control what I consume. There are so many things that I can control, and today I’m choosing to focus on that. Tell me what you’ve resting / meditating on these last few weeks. 📷 @kaynjames

“Sistahs how y'all feel, brothas y'all alright..

“Sistahs how y'all feel, brothas y'all alright....?” 🎶 ... just doing a wellness check in on everyone. There’s a lot going on right now and we can be so consumed with the media and devastation. So holla at me, let me know how you’re doing! So far I’ve been in my same robe for 5 days now. But I’ve managed to detangle my hair and give myself a facial. I’ve power pumped to increase my supply because your favorite little person is having a growth spurt. I’ve enrolled in a few classes that I’ve been wanting to take and I’ve managed to do lots of blog work / updates while I have @hdezzzy home during the day. What y’all up to? #quarentinelife #covid_19

Oldie but goodie! Since I can’t get all dolled up for an outing, I figured I’d share an old pic of the last time I got dressed and hit the city. How are y’all surviving #quarentineandchill ? I shared links to shop my look in my Instagram stories. .

When I was pregnant with @lifewithbrave I thought

When I was pregnant with @lifewithbrave I thought I had it all figured out. With my huge family, I’m an auntie of 12... so I was comfortable with all things baby. It wasn’t until I had Brave that I was in for a rude awakening. Suddenly I was overwhelmed with all of the things I didn’t know. Like how isolated and alone you can feel at times, or how your body automatically adjusts to little to no sleep. Or how you can feel so accomplished but also feel like you haven’t done anything in the same moment. It’s a huge (but doable) adjustment. So today on the blog I’m sharing 10 things no one ever told me about motherhood. Click the link in my bio to find out more. . .

We woke up this morning with a 5 month old! @hdezzzy and I are literally blown away by the fact that we’ve kept this little tiny human safe and healthy for 5 whole months. Everyday HD says to me “yo you made me a dad! We have a baby!” ... it still hasn’t hit us that he’s ours haha. Brave is the the most curious little thing who brings so much joy, and exhaustion, to our lives. He officially knows his name and responds to it when someone calls him. He recognizes people that’s in his life often, so those FaceTime calls with Nana & Moosha, and his aunties —yes he remembers! Dad snuck him a lemon slice and he actually liked it 🤪 he prefers to stand and attempt to walk instead of learning to sit unassisted. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is officially song of the year in our household. And yes he’s voted most adorable by the masses. 152 days with you my little love. What was life before he came along?! @lifewithbrave @hdezzzy #5monthsold

Trying my best to not go crazy being stuck in the house. I feel like I just got accustomed to getting out with Brave confidently on my own, now we are back on lock down. Pretty sure @lifewithbrave is sick of me throwing tummy time at him so we got out for a nice stroll. Any recommendations on an infant schedule? Tips welcomed!
