One of my Faves....
I don't consider myself a fan of many celebs but this chick is definitely one of my favorites...

Solange Knowles seems so laid-back, fun, adventurous....and her fashion, hair and photography skills are on point.

Check out her travels around the globe with her son on her blog and follow her on Twitter.
Nostalgia: The Mouse & the Motorcycle

One of the things I love about being a mom is sharing my childhood with my kids. Theo's favorite animal is a mouse, so I told him about one of my favorite stories... The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. I also loved all the Ramona books.

I searched Youtube and found The Mouse & the Motorcycle movie. Score!

Theo: "They look like squirrels, not mice." lol
The movie was sooo bootleg and dated but I left it on anyway. lol
I fell asleep about 15 minutes in but Theo seemed to enjoy it.

I also saw the whole book series is available on Amazon Kindle, so I added it our book list.
Good times!
Quote of the Day
I recently came across this interview with Chef Danielle Saunders. Saunders is the first Black woman to win Food Network's Chopped and is Diddy's former personal chef.

What advice do you have for a woman who’s ready to turn her passion for cooking into a paycheck?
"My advice would be to follow your heart, believe in yourself and your dreams and always practice having faith over fear. Also, garner thick skin because you’re definitely going need it but stay positive. Make great food, grind hard and it will all be worth it!"
