My baby be like this when I say "it's bed time" smh...lol really it's 10:00pm

how the kis look when you tell them to go play in the snow

Today the children are out of school because of the freezing cold and the crazy snow fall over night.  They are happy and I'm like oh come on.. Because I now have to be the party planner for the day!

So we are doing fun things indoors today.  You know movies, video games,cooking yummy treats, and board games.  My children do not like to play out in the cold snow.  I guess it's because they are from Brazil where it was always worm.  When their friends come to the door to ask if they are going to come out to play they be like are you crazy...lol I think it's so funny.  I am from New York and I loved going out to play in the snow as a child. 

the are not going out unless it's in the car. lol

 We always spend around 1 hour on school work as well..Math and Reading so that they can stay on the learning path!

How it looks outside..Beautiful!

So what do you do with your children on snow days?

They are awesome and I love the way my girls can play with beautiful dolls that look like them.  You can find all kinds of cool accessories for these dolls so the girls will never get board with them!

Seanna is angry after I washed and blow dried her hair lol

We all have our bad hair days but hair is such a big deal in my house because I have 3 daughters.  All three of them absolutely hate getting their hair combed.  And yes they get it honestly, because I don't like combing out my hair either.  I have noticed that the less we do to our hair the more it grows.  Hear are my 3 girls and I.  We all have really long and thick hair.  I usually wash our hair about 4 to 6 times a month.  That's once a week or every other week depending on how dirty our hair gets.

S'zion is being a big girl but she is the most tender headed of all

 I keep our hair moisturized with hair creams or butters and oils.  My favorite oils are Moroccan Aragon oli, Shea oil, black Haitian castor oil, and Almond oil.  What I do is mix all the oils in the palm of my hand and use my finger tips to rub them through the scalp. 

S'nai is the oldest so she pretty much goes with the flow but she has the most hair of all

Then I either braid or flat iron our hair. 

Mami

Below is our youngest son.  His hair was really long when we came to Columbus from Brazil 3 years ago.  And we love trying new styles with him.  He has such beautiful hair. 

Shakari is getting his hair twisted with the sponge.  It's pretty cool.

My daughter participated in the MLK Oratorical Contest yesterday and did a great job!
We are so proud of her.  Her speech was powerful and she spoke the truth about racism in America.  Here's a copy of her speech below.

The topic of my speech is would Dr. Martin Luther King think that we live in chaos or community today.

As a African American girl I have to say that Black people have come a long way in our country’s history.  African Americans have overcome and accomplished a lot through struggles of open hatred and racism only based on the color of their skin.  African Americans have lived through and survived a horrible past in America through slavery, oppression, and Jim Crow.

I was born in the USA, but I spent five years of my life growing up in Brazil.  Living in Brazil does help me appreciate how far my people have come because we did not see any Black lawmakers while living there.  Also there were not many Black people
