Children returning to school, are you ready?

Image
Good morning coffee lovers, The mornings are asking for more coffee, school is back in session and summer fun is ending. You are drinking coffee at 7 am instead of 10am. My children have yet to start but they are starting soon as well as many others. I know we all are worried about what is in store for us with COVID back with a vengeance. We all worry about whether our children will be safe. Therefore I am having this conversation this week to try to keep myself and other parents aware of what to expect and how we can keep our children as safe as possible. I know for a fact some parents are vaccinating or considering vaccinating their teens. New York City has already started mandating adults. I for one am very hesitant to give my son the vaccine but he doesn’t mind talking about it. He is 17 years old so I try to include him as much as possible in choices we make that will affect him. As much as I hate the fact that he’s growing up, he is almost an adult. I read that some ...

Women's Equality Day

Hello coffee lovers, Today is a great day to be a woman, so I think this day I will take an extra whip on my frappuccino. Today is what The world knows it as Women's Equality Day. Let me give you a bit of a history about being a woman and how it came to be this day. Women in the past were not able to achieve what they do today. They were told to stay quiet and stay in the kitchen. Boy did we show them. We began telling them how we do want to be heard and we do have a mind of our own. After letting them know what we were we finally adopted in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. Through the years we manage to vote,work,even become vice president. I can say we came a long way and we are never going to stop,we are going to keep rising and rising to the best of our abilities. We deserve Equal rights! Names t...

Body Positivity

Image
Good morning coffee lovers, I have been drinking cappuccinos these days because my regular caramel macchiatos are not like they used to be. Do you deal with this? Obsessed with a drink and as time went by the drink is not the same? Your body just doesn't want it anymore. sigh, but speaking about bodies let's talk about Body positivity. Today I want to talk about our bodies. We all take time to somehow find something wrong with ourselves. Even if we are 100% completely beautiful. We all see these flaws that others do not see in us. I saw this interview with the daily show, one of my favorite people to see and listen to because of his realness (Trevor Noah) he was interviewing Lizzo (American singer ,rapper ,songwriter and believe it or not flutist.) Her name has been going around like a coffee lover with one cup of coffee available to them. She talked about how she is not trying to be an icon but because she loves her body the way it is. As she should. We should all ...

Why are you really having a kid?

Hello coffee lovers. I hope all is going well. Is It me or this weather has been very intense lately. It has been drinking extra coffee than i usually do. Today I think we should really pay attention with this conversation and this one will really make you think twice about certain decisions you'll make in your life. In life we were taught back in the day(past) that if you were to be a good wife, your job was to make your husband happy by cooking, cleaning and having babies for satisfaction. As I think about it now it seems to me they wanted us to have the children to entertain us, so they can work and go to bars and enjoy themselves. I would not be the best wife at that time because I love to work. I have kids but only two. I stopped there and I spoke my mind. These days there are so many babies being born and it is becoming over populated but that's not why i am talking about this today. I am talking about women who have babies for reasons that really should be questio...
