Who’s moving learning away from the kitchen table?

Eraser bits and pepper anyone?

The past two days I’ve been cleaning up. Dolls and Donuts was such a fun party theme. But not as fun to tidy up.
👧🏽
Earlier today, I stared at one of the girl’s current favorite dolls, admiring her curls and her brown skin.
📺
I was waiting for the news segment so the news was on. I try not to watch much since Covid. It’s information overload sometimes for me.
🤯
They were replaying footage from last night...

Nasty.

Mean.

I had my daughter leave the room before he got to Pocahontas.

I’ve been sheltering the girl from this voice since he was bragging about grabbing. I don’t know what he will say.

I’m ushering her out the room, listening, and halfway looking at the doll.

The mental load of motherhood is enough. But the mental load of Black motherhood is...

Find dolls with curly hair to teach her how to love her curls.

Shield her ears from belittling labels from someone who should be setting an example.

Make her come listen as Biden directly says Black and Brown girls are hopefully seeing what they can become differently today.

As I explain this historic first, the girl proclaims she will be President. We tell her “Of course you can. You can be whatever you want to be!”

Last night she wanted to be a singer. Tomorrow she will want to own a guacamole relaxing place.

Isn’t that what we all want though?

Don’t we all want our children to feel confident and comfortable with themselves? To be whole, kind, and respectful human beings who grow up to be whatever they set their minds to be?

I will buy all the curly brown dolls. Forget confetti, I will sprinkle love, knowledge, respect, and encouragement. I will shield her ears from disrespect. I cannot let the world dictate how she sees herself.

Do you agree? What are you over there sprinkling? Shielding?

This girl creates joy, all day, every day since the day she was born!

Dolls and donuts was an epic hit, even in quarantine. It was so good it will be on the Cr8joi Youtube Channel soon. Until then, check out my IG stories before they expire if you want to see a sneak peek.
💕
So grateful to be her Mommy. For this child, I prayed.

Happy Birthday Lil’ Miss Cr8!

We busted out at night in the ☔️. Now if that’s not being intentional about joy! When it started sprinkling, I almost said forget it. Hubs thanks for taking us out!

This was the coolest drive-in Bible study I’ve ever been to (my first). Everyone stayed in their cars and worshipped.
🙌🏽
Who else loves@todddulaney ‘s music? Have you attended a drive-in service?

Today was a do all.the.things Monday. Pshew!!! As I wrote out my to do list, it hit me. It’s straight up August.
👀
Maybe it’s just a Michigan thing? But does it feel like summer is starting to slip away already?
☀️
Our nights are a little cooler. The breeze feels different. I don’t know, is it just me? What’s the weather like where you are?
💕
One thing I do know is I’m going to be VERY intentional with these precious August days. Mission #cr8joi to the max! You?

What do you do when...you tidy up for the shot, but the frame is wider than you expected? Asking for a friend.
💕
Okay it was me.
😬
Who among you knew that a Zoom frame is wider than a FaceTime frame?
Show of thumbs please.
