Kick Off Summer with Oliver Winery’s Cherry Cobbler Wine

June 5, 2018 by Alisha 1 Comment

The beginning of each summer brings so many new changes. It means that my girls are done with school and moving on to the next grade. This year is no exception. My oldest daughter turned 16 yesterday and became a licensed driver today! To say that I’m bombarded with a range emotions is an understatement. And not only will she be driving on her own but she starts a new job next week…lawd!

Since I work from home I decided that we would just fly by the seat of our pants and not really have any set summer plans. We plan to do a lot of day and weekend trips. Tennessee has so many amazing things to do and since we’re centrally located in Middle Tennessee it less than a 3 hour drive to either hit Memphis, Chattanooga or Knoxville! Heck Atlanta is less than 4 hours too! [Read more…]

First off…can you believe that this school year is almost over?!?! Just a few weeks ago my girls and I spent a week in the Orlando area at my mom’s. My moved there about 3 years and we’ve taken full advantage of having somewhere to stay that feels just like home because it is! LOL And she can only tolerate us in small doses so a week or (4) here and there is enough for her! [Read more…]

Our Day at Legoland Park in Florida

April 17, 2018 by Alisha 3 Comments

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!
