They make me happy. They make me giddy. They make me want to dance and they make me feel pretty. Express how much you love brownies!
I’ve been considering enrolling Georgie in some kind of class. He’s only 18 months so choices are limited but something did pop up in the form of Little Kickers. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. An international brand, it helps instill in little ones self-confidence, co-ordination, control and the sense of camaraderie. The 45-minute class included an abundance of small balls, lots of aimless shoots and a fun game of running back and forth with cones on our heads. No, that wasn’t part of the class. That was Georgie’s version of the class. So how did he do? Well, just as I expected he couldn’t sit still and insisted on doing things his own way and no one seemed to care. I thought he would stick out like a sore thumb but other children were just as active- with their mothers running alongside them- and the coaches were cool about that. What I’m trying to say is it was free time. Kids were encouraged to just be. I like that. I didn’t feel restricted and neither did my child. It was a Saturday morning spent doing something different and getting active. Thanks for that guys!
The first child who stole my heart, my beautiful and fascinating godson turns five this week. We threw him a pirate-themed birthday party last night- or should i say, my sister threw him one because she literally did everything. From the face painting to the flags and even the treasure chest cake, she pulled off a really great party. Makes me so excited about all the birthdays I will get to celebrate with my little dude. Happy Birthday Angelo. Love nouna.x
The fact that June Carter found the courage to divorce in 1956 speaks volumes to me. Can you imagine what that must’ve been like? This is 2012 and where I come from, divorce is still a taboo! I had heard of June Carter before watching Walk The Line but it was during that first viewing of one of my now all-time favorite movies that it hit me. What a talent, yes …but what a personality! What a character! I fell in love with her strength and the way she stood by her man through gut-wrenching times. Times you hope you never have to encounter. It is safe to say that a lot of Johnny Cash would not be had June not taken on the role of his guardian angel. In my eyes, she was a pioneer, a person who spoke the truth and did what felt right for her and her children. She never lost focus. I admire that in a person very much.
Furniture shopping. Lots of reading. Walks to the schoolyard. And an amazing new app discovery.
