Go see The Help this weekend (and you could win prizes)
The fantastic, OMG-you-have-to-see-it movie of the summer is The Help, based on the novel of the same name by Atlanta resident Kathryn Stockett. I had the opportunity to see an advance screening at the Mocha Moms Inc National Conference and even meet some of the stars. I was so impressed! The cinemetography and story line really […]

I ran (not walked) a 5k!
I am not a runner. I am not a fitness guru. I like the gym because it has childcare not because I enjoy working out.

New affordable birthday party option: Sugar Rush at Northpoint Mall
I love a good candy store and it doesn’t hurt that this one is at my favorite mall. I drive about 20 miles each way just to go to Northpoint because of their children’s play area, the cool Merry Go Round and (if I’m lucky) a bit of shopping in H&M, Macy’s or Gap. They […]

We were invited to witness the amazing donation by Kimberly-Clark of 200,000 Huggies diapers. Wow! Did you know 1 in 3 American mothers struggle to provide […]
Mocha Moms rocked Las Vegas
Last week I was in lovely Las Vegas enduring the 100+ degree temperatures (but it’s a “dry heat”…yeah right) to hang out at the Mocha Moms Inc national conference. Mocha Moms Inc is a national non-profit support organization for stay-at-home moms of color (though probably half of all members work for pay in some capacity). I’ve been […]
