To Cell Phone or Not To Cell Phone

Mom Noir — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:00:27 +0000

That is the question. I had to order my mom a new phone which arrived yesterday. In the process of opening the package, M’khai (7) says “ooh is that for me?” Really dude? You JUST started reading and now you think you are worthy of a cell phone. So I said, not until you’re 13, [...]

Do You Give Out Your Number On Craigslist?

Mom Noir — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:29:14 +0000

I see this crib I want, it’s always a must that I speak to the seller ( I get to gauge whether they sound psychotic). But I often wonder “damn, this person will have my number forever.” It’s not like my email where I could just block the email;the seller and I could fall out [...]

Celeb Noir: Alicia Keys and Her Belly

Mom Noir — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:33:58 +0000

In all my pregnancies, I’ve kept my belly wrapped up. The first exposed belly I saw was Keenan Ivory Wayan’s wife and that was many years ago. I remember thinking ‘where they do that at?’ Flash-forward to last month when pictures started circulating the web of a pregnant Alicia Keys vacationing, I couldn’t help but think ‘how [...]

Howdy folks! I am all done with the diva’s party and now onto Kayden’s-which is in 3 weeks. Here are a few things I want you to check out while I get some posts published. I wanted the kids to have a say in the party so I aksed them to vote on the music. [...]

Story Time: A Peek Into Our Library

Mom Noir — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:00:09 +0000

We have story time every night before bed. I have a library in all the kids’ rooms and we have a schedule of who gets to pick the book of the night. So when it’s the diva’s turn, she picks one from her bookshelf and brings it into the boys’ room (story time always takes place there for some reason). I [...]

Lego Sneakers

Mom Noir — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:56:47 +0000

Before I had kids, I vowed never to buy character sneakers or anything with skates or lights. Obviously, I’ve changed my mind. These days I would buy anything that keeps them quiet and speeds up the morning ‘get dressed’ ritual. I’ve learned that by letting them pick out their own clothes (from the closet) and buying [...]

A Twist on The Tool Bag

Mom Noir — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:21:58 +0000

I recently purchased this tool bag for my surplus of make-up brushes I bought. Keep in mind I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing with make-up but that’s no reason the purchases can’t look cute as I tote them around. I fell in love with the canvas and leather look of this bag. It’s [...]

The British Are Coming

Mom Noir — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:58:20 +0000

Well, they’re already here but they’re now shipping to the US. I found a few stores over in the UK that are shipping their cool duds to the US. First up asos.com I get everything here! Something for everyone and I’m not sure how they are selling Gap items but who cares! Next is next-as in [...]

Celeb Noir: Mrs. Obama

Mom Noir — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:32:03 +0000

I very rarely see our FLOTUS looking bad but when I see her looking great, I must post about it. Maybe I’m gravitating towards this look because this is actually something in her closet I would wear! I love this Bohemian looking tunicy dress. She definitely gets a thumbs up from me on this get [...]
