The Listen To Your Mother Show Is This Weekend, And I’m Emotional

The other day, we were in church and I saw a beautiful pregnant lady in a fitted yellow dress that accentuated her bump, and all of a sudden, I missed being pregnant. Then while at home, I was looking through my maternity shoot, and I was grinning the entire time. I found myself to be beautiful. Not just on the outside, but on the inside because of what was happening. I was growing a whole human inside of me. Then I became a little sad because I felt like maybe I didn't totally "rock" my Read More

Throwback To When Sugabelly Made Me Speak Igbo

Five years ago, Sugabelly did a language challenge that was really fun! Although, at the time, it was like pulling teeth for me because it required me to speak Igbo, and my Igbo isn't great.

You can read that post here, but as a reminder, below are the three truths and two Read More

I told you about my other Black American neighbor, the one I called the witch. She used to live right under us, but she has now moved out. Woo hoo! Now we have a new White neighbor living there and has not complained about noise from our apartment. Across from us, however, we have new Black neighbors. Before them, our neighbors there were a White couple, and I did not know their names. Well, I knew the name of the guy, only because a police detective had come looking for him and had left Read More

RE April Fool’s Day: Three Truths And Two Lies

I have told one too many April Fool's Day jokes lies on here. I have told so many that when I announced I was pregnant last year, so many people did not believe me - even though this was in October. That's how much of a trust issue you people have with me. Ha! So this year is different. Instead of cracking my brain trying to figure out which new lie to tell you (and I have thought about a lot, trust me), I will instead be upfront with you. Below, there are three truths and two lies. Guess which Read More
