Field Trip to the King Center!

By -
A few weeks ago we went on a field trip (to the King Center) with our homeschool group.

I'm ashamed to say that this was our first time visiting the center (as a family) since I've moved here, almost 18 years ago from Brooklyn, NY.

We had a wonderful time! The kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly and are looking forward to our next visit (which will be sometime this year, as there is so much to do and see). One of the first things we'll do (that we didn't get to do) is take the tour of Dr. King's home and another would be to bring the camera!
This picture was the only one we got because someone forgot to bring the camera.

    Ohhh I want to go on a family field trip. I'd LOVE to be part of a homeschooling network because I sure can use the help. But I don't want to be the ONLY person of color in the WHOLE group. *sigh*. . . We need to move.

    It is good that your family could share this experience. I am really disturbed that with all of the wealthy blacks in America, why it is taking so long to have the MLK memorial built in D.C.

    What an awesome experience that must have been! I am planning to visit there some time in the latter part of 2008, and am pretty excited about taking the kids!

    WOW!!!!

    What a great experience. I know you'll go back to visit over and over again.

    Don't feel bad about it taking so long to visit. I lived in NJ forever and NEVER visited the Statue of Liberty!!!

    Awww, look at the fam. You all look so nice. You and the hubby don't look much older than the kids! Keep drinking from that fountain of youth.

    Glad that you all had a wonderful time. Except of course that "someone," LOL, forgot the camera.

    I remember going once while in high school and about a few years ago when I didn't have any children! Seeing you and your family...my family definitely will be going before the month is out!

    You have such a beautiful family. The King center is a wonderful tribute that every black american should make a pilgrimage to at some point in their lives.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

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...
