I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOOO CUTE I HAD TO SHARE IT THIS CAME FROM ANOTHER LADIES POST FROM AN OLD SITE I WAS ON. CHECK IT THIS IS A CONVERSATION SHE AND HER DAUGHTER HAD. SHE SAID:

I WAS OUT WALKING WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE PICKED UP SOMETHING
OFF THE GROUND AND STARTED TO PUT IT IN HER MOUTH. I TOOK THE ITEM AWAY FROM
HER AND I ASKED HER NOT TO DO THAT.

"WHY?" MY DAUGHTER ASKED.

"BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ON THE GROUND, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S BEEN, IT'S DIRTY
AND PROBABLY HAS GERMS," I REPLIED.

AT THIS POINT, MY DAUGHTER LOOKED AT ME WITH TOTAL ADMIRATION AND ASKED,
"MOMMY, HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS STUFF? YOU ARE SO SMART." I WAS THINKING QUICKLY.

"ALL MOMS KNOW THIS STUFF. IT'S ON THE MOMMY TEST. YOU HAVE TO KNOW IT, OR THEY DON'T LET YOU BE A MOMMY."

WE WALKED ALONG IN SILENCE FOR 2 OR 3 MINUTES, BUT SHE WAS EVIDENTLY PONDERING THIS NEW INFORMATION. "OH...I GET IT!" SHE BEAMED, "SO IF YOU DON'T PASS THE TEST YOU HAVE TO BE THE DADDY."

"EXACTLY" I REPLIED BACK WITH A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE.

If only this were true and there was a mommy test! LOL

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS:

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does, and to anyone and
everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarships to African Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest or awareness. No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship.

Take the initiative to get your children involved. Money shouldn't be returned to d onating companies because we fail to apply for it. Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be.

I want to start this entry off by stating that while being a mother is one of the greatest joys of my life, it has also become one of the most challenging aspects. I am a mother of two beautiful goddesses. My eldest is recently turned 9 years old and my baby will be 8 months on the 19th of this month. Although getting used to having a little one again has been tough, I have found that my biggest challenge right now is my 9 year old. Let me just get straight to it:

Because I am a Socially, Spiritually, and Culturally Conscious woman and mother, I try my very best to raise my girls to be the same. Now, I realize that each person is an individual- no two people are exactly alike, no matter how hard one may try to mold another. While I have to battle external forces at my daughters public school, the radio, television, books, movies, etc...(the list goes on and on) I find myself in a constant battle with her father. Note: my daughters both have different fathers***

Well it's almost finished... I'm moving back home. to my mothers house ... ahahahahahahahahah! Am I Crazy ?! I think I must have lost me mind. Well she offered a few months back and I said uhmm let me think about it I just finished school which has left me broken physically ( I gained 10 pounds) and financially ( Lets just say I wouldn’t be able to bay a pinto if they still made them) . I was in a tail spin Robbing Peter to Pay Paul(lol) Sound the offer was extended and after much much thought I said yes ( months in thought) My Future Husband and I want to get married, buy a house and raise a family and I don’t want to come to the table empty handed. He’s in full support of my move and said that it will be good.

I wont have to pay rent which means I can SAVE! It’s Hard out here in These Streets for a single momma ( unmarried) like my self I don’t want to JUST get by I want to Make it and Be able to Make it Happen if and When I want. I have some what been Depressed and I have let money Run me for the last couple of years. I need to Regroup and Get my self on Solid Ground for Our Future.

The title is the reason for my post . i know we are to celebrate the greatness of our heritage 365, and till the day we move one to rest with the most high. But how exactly are we/you teaching our children. And is the culture of hip-hop included in it ?

Do you start with your family tree? or Do you start with the kings and queens?

Just a question my sisters in light of the month
