Premature Goodbyes

Many of you know I am a pretty vocal person; especially when it comes to race related issues, but these past few weeks have left me speechless.  Literally I just am devastated by the message that is being sent to all the black men of this nation.  So instead of ranting I just want toContinue reading “Premature Goodbyes”

Minute with Modo (#16): Parenting multiple kids

What I’ve learned this week from having two kids under the age of 3: 1.

But when I getContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#13): Do You”

Slow Food

Slow food 😋! I HATE fast food. It never has any color…well because it’s dead. Crock pot is my best friend…especially because I am not the best cook. Endometriosis has done one thing right for me and that’s taught me to eat better. I am grateful because REAL food taste so much better. Always withContinue reading “Slow Food”
