Hey Y’all: This Christmas Miss Leah received her first baby doll and carriage. Her dad stared at her in awe because he couldn’t believe that his 20 month old daughter knew what to do with a baby doll. Is it just maternal instinct he kept asking me? Of course it is I told him, mommy’s […]
Hey Y’all: I think it’s officially potty training time in our house! While chatting with my Mom on the phone, Myles ran past me showing his naked behind! “Myles” I yell, “where is your pamper” My mom hears me asking Myles and is now on the phone cracking up. “Wait Deveter did he take it […]

Hey Y’all: In 2000 I was employed at AOL and met a few life long friends, one of them was Nicole Perez. Nicole isn’t just my friend, she’s my Puerto Rican Sister. I was the witness at her wedding and she was one of the first people I told that I was pregnant with Erick. […]
