When I was a kid I thought the Graphic Novel section at the bookstore was for naughty books so I totally avoided that area. You know… graphic… ones. I’ve since learned that graphic novels are really just stories in comic book format.

My favorite laundry days
I do a load of laundry every other day. My favorite laundry days are the ones where I manage to wash, dry, fold, and put away the whole load all in one day. They are my favorite because it means the next day I have no laundry to do at all!
Something’s not quite right here
Screaming Pepper
Family Size
Family size packaging always makes me laugh. We often need two family size just for a single meal. So when I saw this at SamsClub I was like finally a family size package that is sized for our giant family!
We have a big family
And one way you know we have a big family… we installed an automatic soap dispenser in our downstairs bathroom.
A simple rule…
I made a simple rule for myself that ensures I always read my scriptures, every single day. I am not allowed to read any books until I have read a chapter/section in the scriptures. Since I quite enjoy reading books, this works great for me and I haven’t missed a day of reading in months. (I also have Read Scriptures as one of my daily to do’s and I really like crossing things off my list so that helps as well.)
A realization
For his birthday Adrian wanted to go see In the Heights. During it I realized Lin-Manuel Miranda is the John Green of musicals. Heart in a blender, man.
It sounded like a lot until I thought about it
I got an email that said to complete a survey for a chance to win $1000 in free groceries. That sounded like a lot. Then I thought about it. A thousand dollars isn’t even an entire month’s worth of groceries in our house.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat
The instructions on shampoo bottles always say to lather, rinse, and repeat. I figured this was just a way to sell more shampoo since you’d have to use twice a much.
Then I took the hair care course from Tutus & Tennis Shoes. In there, Kanisha says to wash the kids’ hair twice and then condition. I’ll do pretty much whatever Kanisha says to do so we immediately started shampooing twice before conditioning.
And then I tried washing my own hair twice and it’s pretty much life-changing. They weren’t just trying to sell more shampoo. Shampooing my hair twice leaves it feeling so much cleaner. The kids’ hair is left nicer, too. I’m sold!
(By the way, if you are a white mom raising Black children, I very, very highly recommend taking Kanisha’s The Beauty and Science of Black Hair Care Course. It’s totally worth the time and money. You won’t regret it.)
