Our Day at Legoland Park in Florida

April 17, 2018 by Alisha 1 Comment

Every year when we go to visit my mom in the Orlando area the first question people ask is “Are you all going to Disneyworld?” And my answer is always, nope! LOL I sometimes feel like people that there’s only one theme park in Florida. There are so many amazing things to do in the Orlando area. Legoland is a newer park aimed at kids up to 12 years old and their families. But if you’re not much of a thrill seeker but LOVE LEGO® than this park is great for us big kids too!

Legoland is typically open 7 days a week and their hours fluctuate between 10a-5p, 10a-6p and 10a-7p. Be sure to check out their website before you plan your trip! The day Morgan and I went we got there around 11a. I figured that would be a good time and boy was I wrong! We ended up spending almost 30 minutes in traffic just to enter the parking lot. Parking is $17 for cars so keep that in mind too!

Once we entered the park the first thing we wanted to get on was the Great LEGO® Race. The ride to get on was going to be almost 2 hours! Lawd…so yea we decided to check back before we would leave for the day. Luckily there were a lot of other rides that she wanted to get on. While we were there we ran into one of my good friend Michelle of Divas with a Purpose. You have no idea what a lifesaver that was for my sanity! Going to a place like this is always more fun when your child has other kids to hang with and get on the rides. [Read more…]

I’m Tired!

I’m tired of ignorant people

I’m tired of white people telling me to get over it

I’m tired of black people telling what to boycott

I’m tired of listening to a president that don’t know what TF he’s talking about

I’m tired of mansplaining

I’m tired of black people getting shot by police for nothing

I’m tired of people telling me they don’t see color

I’m tired of having to prove I’m “woke” enough

I’m tired tired of people selling BS pipe dreams when that’s not how they got there

I’m tired of people shaming those that have mental illness

I’m tired of assuming everyone has common sense

Fuck…I’m tired!

Natural Ear Care in 3 Easy Steps

March 24, 2018 by Alisha Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but this past Winter did a number on everyone in this house. Being stuck indoors during the colder months can stress you out mentally and physically! Breathing in the same dry, circulated air along with cooties is not good for anyone. But as we move into Spring then we’re all full of pollen and sneeze all day long. That leaves you congested and full of mucus! This year I’ve decided to be more proactive in our health and try to ward off stuff before rather than wait until we’re all sick.

Wally’s Natural sent over a few things to help us take better care of our ear health. Did you know that your ear health is one of the most neglected senses? Their products were created with the mission to help people unwind. The line of natural products aims to help people relax with a loved one and take time for themselves. We are all about self care in this house and I want to make sure that my girls realize the importance of never putting yourself last.

The three products we got were Kids Ear Scrub, Ear Candles and Organic Ear Oil. Designed with children in mind, the ear scrub is a fun and safe way for kids to clean their ears. Morgan LOVED using this product. It comes with this cool sponge that looks like a beauty blender and all you do is get it wet, place a few drops on the sponge and clean those little ears! I swear ALL of the dirt, dust and debri goes to live in that kid’s ears. She uses it in the shower and its one less thing that I have to worry about doing…woohoo!

The Organic Ear Oil is a unique blend of essential oils that help to moisturize, soothe and comfort agitated ears. I used this a few times and it felt so weird because of the tea tree oil but after that “cooling” sensation wore off I was good to go. [Read more…]

I can’t even express how excited I am about Cirque De Soleil Corteo coming to Tennessee for the first time! For so long Nashville has only been known to most as the “Home of Country Music“. There is so much more to this city and I’m happy to see that other performance groups are taking notice.

Cirque du Soleil, the largest theatrical producer in the world is thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for their upcoming visit to Music City with its latest creation, Corteo this summer, July 26-29, 2018. The largest international touring production will take spectators on a magnificent journey, with 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors representing more than 15 nationalities while contrasting the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection. The show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us.
