Happy Sunday! Let’s start this week off on the right foot! I spend my Sundays preparing for the week ahead. I fill out my daily calendar and double check all the events and activities the kids have planned for the upcoming week. I review emails to make sure that I have written things down in my planner. I created this calendar when quarantine started forever ago because things were getting lost in the shuffle with the chaos of things. It is a daily calendar that is grouped into sections. It does not go hourly. I have tried an hourly daily calendar and then when things did not happen at that exact hour, my mind went crazy. So, I created this one to be an overview of the day. It has worked out so much better. I added this calendar to “The Dope Parent Kit” over at my store @thedopekidfest !! I also make sure the kids rooms are tidied up and clothes are ready for the school week. I try to add vacuuming and other household chores to this list to add a level of fitness because Sunday is my “rest day” for exercise. In order to close my ring, I do a little yoga but that is my daily exercise. This is my self-care. I cannot operate under chaos. How do you spend most Sundays? #dmvmomtribe #blackmomtherhood #selfcaresunday #happysunday (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYhTUF0rLyW/?utm_medium=tumblr

The face you make when Mom catches you stealing flowers from her garden to give to the neighbor 👧🏽🤣🤣! But due to quarantine, this flower is now a temporary decor piece in my bathroom! I win lol How do you handle your kiddos crushes etc... I just listen. I let them express how they feel and periodically ask about that person. No taunting or teasing, just active listening. Young luv.... Spring has officially Sprung... #dmvmomtribe #blackboyjoy #parentingiswild #spring (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbO_wngNOW/?igshid=1qei74atrjvx2
Gratitude! My brother told @wittenfitness once told me that spoiling your kids is okay as long as you teach them GRATITUDE! This little lady right here has really developed her gratitude attitude over the past year! Quarantine has bothered her the most out of my trill trio but she has worked really hard to stay positive! She has worked even harder to stay engaged in virtual learning and for the most part, she has been doing well. But this week her teacher added 2 digit SUBTRACTION! My lil fircracker was very perplexed with moving a ten to the ones position etc... so I spent some time between her Zooms and when over the material until she got it. Once her aha moment happened, she said “Mommy, one thing I will miss about going back to school is you not being there to help me when I need it because the teacher doesn’t always have time for us one on one” !!! I was blown away by her gratitude attitude and recognition of the importance of being able to have one on one learning time. Virtual learning has its bonuses. Plus, I get selfies in the middle of the day!! 😜 #gratitude #quarantinechronicles #virtuallearning #dmvmomtribe https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5BXryg8RZ/?igshid=h9ojubi3nl15
I thought this dope kid was one of my Valentine’s but look at him 🤣🤣 I thought were celebrating love and affection today, but I guess that’s only reserved for Mother’s Day! How did you Valentine’s treat you today? Check my stories to see what my little Valentine’s got me! Hope you are having a lovely day! ❤️💕💜💗 . . . . #consistency2021 #toddlerfun #boymom #dmvmomtribe #mommyblog (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSiP9YgmnS/?igshid=u0aws0yxxbik
MAMAS I NEED YOUR HELP! Don’t let this gleeful smile fool you, I AM TIRED! Send me all the tips, tricks, and remedies you have used to conquer insomnia! I should have been getting mounds and mounds of sleep in quarantine but I just can’t get a good nights rest. I can’t even blame the kids either. Well, not lately anyway. One of them was waking up in the middle of the night almost every night but that is no longer the case (fingers crossed 🤞🏾) BUT I just can’t get to sleep or either stay asleep. SEND HELP! Thanks in advance. #justmeomaya #consistency2021 #dmvmomtribe #blackmotherhood (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHYiXIgE5n/?igshid=1o2hd31q5ikw1
Our newest book to the Claros yellow bookshelf is TWINS by @mrvarianjohnson and illustrated by @shannondrewthis !!! My little firecracker is trying to make her best angry face to match the cover. How did she do? She is really turning the corner from reading picture book to graphic novels. We just got this today and she is almost done. Now I will be hearing about twins Maureen and Francine Carter for the next couple of weeks. Because she will read this over and over and over again. And I am here for it. I snuck a peek before I handed it off to her and I must learn about these sixth graders. Good thing , I have a sweet young lady to give me all the deets. 😉 #graphicnovel #justmeomaya #blackhistorymonth #representstionmatters #dmvmomtribe #raisingareader (at Prince William County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLDJVmfgg7T/?igshid=h18vqy3u7xwv
