I am a mom of 2, business owner, and tree hugger. I also very much enjoy food. Lots and lots of food. Also traveling for food. Sometimes just traveling, which will eventually result in food consumption.
I just read this article by a mom who downloaded musical.ly before she let her daughter. The read is long but her story is an important one to read. My kid is 9 and loves Musical.ly. I have it on my phone for work and I constantly have to take my phone from him because he loves the actual music on it. He asked me if he could download the app and I said no. He is not allowed to have anything on his phone but mindcraft.
I didn’t let him download it not because it was dangerous but because he has difficulty paying attention when I speak to him if he is on his phone. After reading this moms account, I’m mortified. I do my best to research everything he wants to play, download, use, look at, but the amount of “stuff” out there is overwhelming. Not only that, I’m 40, I don’t understand half the stuff that is even going on. Keeping my kid safe online has literally become another job.
I wanted to share this particular article because this app looks really harmless. It is not. I’m sure it’s also not the only one. Please read Anastasia’s article here .
It is so official. I could not wait! We are true Marvel fans in our house and there was no way that we were going to even chance missing Black Panther. The level of excitement is ridiculous. We started our countdown to Infinity War last week and kicked our our Marvel movie marathon weekend with Dr. Strange.
Last week my 9 year old son came home singing “gucci gang”. I had know idea what it was so I looked it up on youtube. I caught the dirty version. After I picked my mouth up off of the floor, my first thought was to tell him that I better not EVER hear him singing that again. He is 9, he has no idea what it means, and I was hoping he had only heard the clean version. Before I became that mom who ostracizes her kid during playground shenanigans I had to think for a moment. Didn’t I listen to stuff that was just as bad?
I remember knowing every single word to One and One by 2 live crew in the 5th grade. While they weren’t talking about drugs the sexual language in that song was bonkers. Let’s have a look shall we?
Only Luke performs this track)
* = “In the bedroom all day and all of the night”
One and one were having some fun * Two and Two, I took off my shoes * Three and Three, she undressed me * Four and Four, we fucked on the floor * Five and Five, I put up her thighs * Six and Six, the bitch sucked my dick * Seven and Seven, we went to heaven * Eight and Eight, she masturbated * Nine and Nine, she licked my ass * Ten and Ten, the bitch did it again *
Get off my ass bitch!
GET YOUR FACE OUT MY ASS MOTHERFUCKER!!
[“Haaa”] [“But it hurts so good”] [“Haaa”]
Get laid, get FUCKED!
[“Haaa”]
[“But it hurts so good”]
(repeated ’till the end of the track)
There is no video but let’s have a listen to the audio shall we?
So that was my 5th grade along with Slick Rick, which is probably just as bad. A whole lotta years later, I turned out ok. So this may not be that bad right? Well let’s have a look at listen before we decided.

Let’s have a peek at the video too! Might as well, it’s Friday!
I decided the best I could do was make him watch the video, talk about what was in the video and have a real discussion about drugs and alcohol. I can’t prevent him from being exposed to this stuff so I have to pull my balls out and start having real discussion that I wasn’t planing on having until much later.
This is so mean! Marvel, why are you doing this to me???????????? I cannot wait!!! Did you know there are 20 more marvel moves already shot, in process, or production. 20!!!!!!!!
My family is a total marvel family and we are proud. We love Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Ant man, the Iron Patriot, the Scarlett Witch, Spiderman, Falcon, Black Panther, Loki, Black Widow, seriously all of them. There is not one avenger that we do not love.
When the rumblings of a Justice League movie started happening, I had no interest in seeing it. Why would I, it was DC comics. Automatic no. We are loyalist! We didn’t go see wonder woman when it first came out either. We waited, we loved it. We began to toy with the idea of this whole Justice League thing. As more time progressed and the previews came out we were all in! We are now excitedly waiting to go see the movie tonight!
Purchasing a crib mattress for your little can be a daunting task. There is so much to read up on and so many factors to consider. The most important (to me anyway) is how eco it is and how heavy it is. The cribs are already tight enough, struggling with a super heavy mattress is not on my list of things I would like to do with my life on any given day.
I discovered the line of Moonlight Slumber Mattresses when I was in Vegas for the ABC show. I fell in love with them because they are eco and light! Most of them are light, there are two that I tried that may have required a little more arm strength than I was willing to put out. The moonlight slumber sleepwell is the money mattress it’s my favorite. It is a great price point, it has great features, and it’s green guard certified. I did a little video to show it off.
I was unaware of this brand when I purchased my mattress for my bambino. Actually her amazing auntie Terri purchased her mattress:) It’s heavy, I feel like hulk hogan vs Randy Savage when I change her bed and I am not fond of that. However, it is super eco so I do know that my bambino is breathing clean air when she is in lala land dreaming about tea parties with pepa pig.
You can find more information about the Moonlight slumber sleepwell mattress by visiting Happy Mango.
When we got the origami crib on the floor I could not stop playing with it. I love it. It is super great for small spaces, grands houses, or the office if your kids spend lots of time there with you. Hello all of my entrepreneurs, how ewe doooooooooin?
The origami crib comes in a host of pretty colors and is greenguard certified. Yup, it’s an eco crib. The origami also has a full sized sibling called the Maki crib. Same awesome fold away, just bigger.
The bad thing about technology is when it decides to bail on you, it really blows. We somehow or another did something that basically erased the last 16 months of blog post. Yup, that sucks major monkey balls. I do believe in looking at the positive so I will, at least it wasn’t the whole thing. We were able to recover from May of last year to the 2nd beginning lol.
Please be patinet with us as we get everything back up to speed.
I am looking for some pinatas for the kid’s 8th birthday party. I kept seeing these “pull string” pinatas and I couldn’t figure out what the heck these were. I was immediately going to call my friend Simone who does all things party but I figured either she would tell me, or make fun of me for not reading the description. There is a thought! I read the description and it has pull strings that release the candy instead of having to hit it. Super sad face, boo, and ain’t nobody got time for that.
The adult in me is saying this is a great idea because I can’t imagine how many kids went home crying becuase they got wacked in the face by an over zealous kid trying to get the candy. The other adult in me is imagining what kind of crazy looks I’ll get when I instruct a bunch of 8 yr old boys to pull a string instead of beating the crap out of the pinata. The superior adult in me sees string pulling to not be fun at all and would rather not even have a pinata. Seriously?
After like no pondering at all the end result, is that I bought the pinata with strings so that my son and his friends can bash it until the legos fall out:)
