Did you know I'm also a wine connoisseur? I make pour decisions over at the Unpolished Grape.

This morning I woke up at 5am, ran around the house like a crazy person making sure every little thing was in order for the kids’ day, peaked in their backpacks to see that the Valentine’s Day candy bags were still accounted for (thank GOD I remembered to throw the bags in there because having…
THEY SAY black women are angry. Aggressive. Apathetic. Jaded. I’m here today to correct that stereotype and tell you otherwise. “They” also say necessity is the mother of invention. Now I give credit where credit is due, because “they” got that one right. Three years ago I desperately needed a space to just be. As…
That’ll get your attention! Now that you’re here, let’s talk about a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that most will encounter in their lifetime. This includes women AND men. The stigma of STDs makes the discussion tough to have but it’s imperative as the health implications can be serious. So, let’s talk about it and break…
If you’ve never eaten out alone before, get your entire hungry life together and try it!
“Will you be my friend? Circle one: yes, no, maybe so.” As children, the friend game was so easy. I remember starting 3rd grade at a new school, in a new city, and during the first week, a classmate I did not know came up to me and said “do you want to be my…
Sassy Plum out on the town! As wine connoisseurs, we knew this was the perfect event for us! Fellow SP blogger Kim and I decided to paint the town red…..with red wine that is! We stopped by Wine Riot at Revel Fulton Market for 2.5 hours of unlimited wine-sampling! All you can drink…. kind of…
Meghan Markle dazzled the world as she became the first American Royalty. No, really. She is the first American, let alone African-American to become legit royalty. (Ohh I hope she starts a hashtag or makes some bumper stickers with her face that say #legitroyalty).
Recently my daughter had a ballet recital that she worked all season to perfect! Before the big dance, I had to do an impromptu photo shoot and get some practice in with my new camera! Check out the shots below.
New motherhood is my life. As an Obstetrician, I see mothers and fathers in their first dear-in-headlights moments of parenthood. Worrying about your children is every parent’s right and it starts in the womb. Am I eating enough? Am I drinking enough? Am I reaching too high? Am I bending too low? Will the baby be…
Want to get your mom friends together? Throw a wine glass paint party! Once a quarter, my mom friends and I have a mom “ditch day,” where we take a break from everything to enjoy each other’s company. For this spring’s get-together, we decided to indulge in something a little different…. a wine glass paint…
So Serena Williams had a baby. A beautiful baby girl. But let’s back up. This woman made pregnancy look like body goals. I swear to my Father in Heaven that I NEVER want to be pregnant again (#mythreekids), BUT IF I DID, I’d want to look like Serena. Strong, gorgeous, and courageous. The woman had…
Now I love a bad dress. And a mean pair of heels. I would actually rock both every day if I could. But hours after I give birth? Nah, give me a break. Literally. Actually, give me a seat because I’m tired just looking at Duchess Kate!
Beyonce’s Coachella 2018 performance was HOT! She brought a historically black experience to a historically white audience. She belted out ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ and had a full marching band in the stands! I was transported back to my own college days and I loved the way she exposed HBCU culture to mainstream America.
Kitchens. The year was ’88. I sat on that seat by the gas stove in my grandma’s kitchen so she could whip my kitchens. When she pulled out “the comb” from that small drawer next to the silverware and placed it in the fire, I knew my 8-year old life was about to get UPGRADED!
