The Blacker the Cherry the Sweeter the Juice.....Literally

By -

We had cherries today for an afternoon snack. When I was growing up I used to love eating cherries especially when they came right out of the refrigerator. Umm, umm sooo good!

The kids didn't enjoy them as much as I would have liked them too.
"Mommy they are not sweet enough. Mommy they are messy. Mommy my hands are turning purple." Oh, the joys of having a little snack turn in to a full blown complaint fest!

The blacker the cherry the sweeter the juice. "What did you say Mommy." The blacker the cherry the sweeter the juice!

Digging through the bag out comes some darker colored cherries, "Ummm Mommy, these are good". We like cherries now!!!

A satisfied Mommy once again!

(mind you, this is not the first time we had cherries together, but the first in a long time. amazing how they forget)

    One of the few things I miss about living in Seattle are the rainier cherries. They were plentiful and always so sweet.

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
