August 19, 2020 106 Comments

Hello Fellow Juju Lovers! We had a few days off from daycare this week so we made an impromptu trip to the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, PA. Juju had never been to the zoo and as summer quickly starts to wind down, I wanted to try to get some fun stuff in before the weather changes. Thanks to the pandemic we had to cancel two week long vacations we had planned for this summer. Insert: Zoo Day! There was some damage done to the zoo a few weeks back

Finding The Right Products For Juju’s 4A Hair.

August 11, 2020 549 Comments

Hi Fellow Juju Lovers! I’ve been a bit of a product junkie with Juju’s hair because I desperately needed to find the right products to keep his delicate strands moisturized.

Sweet Treats We all Scream for Ice Cream. Dreams Ice Cream Factory! One of my few Quarantine hobbies is finding Black Businesses to Support. My birthday was a few weeks ago and all I wanted was to get some ice cream. I searched Black owned Ice cream shops and found a few water ice places (bookmarked for later but not what I was looking for this time) and found NO ice cream.

July 30, 2020 604 Comments

Sunday in the Park! Most weekends we love to get up early make coffee at home and head out to the park after breakfast. We have a favorite park but didn’t have much time and decided to head to the park around the corner from us. Plot twist… I totally forgot this park was remodeled last year and had been upgraded to a SPRAY PARK!
