Fourth trimester? Yes. You’ve been lied to this whole time, pregnant women.
Starting a Natural Hair Journey?
O…m…g. YOU try recording and editing a video with two needy kids while you still have weekend errands to run. I FINALLY have my latest hair video posted. Hair update: Am I satisfied? Not really. Could I be going natural? Probably. 🤷🏾♀️ Did my youngest son get a cameo? Of course. 😉 I'm not where I want to be, but 2018 is the ...
The Why Behind My Winter Wonderland
I’m just going to continue with this post as if I haven’t been dormant for six months. I now realize how Jesus must feel when we repent and then do the same sin all over again. Help us, Lord! So the Christmas bug has hit the HOPEsaidit household. 🎄 I was determined this year to not say ...
“L” is for Father’s Day
Ladies, I took the sacrificial "L" for you all today. I completely forgot about Father's Day. ? I blame the lack of media really. I didn't watch television all weekend, so there were no reminders to let me know that it was Father's Day. (It may sound like a weak excuse, but I'm sticking to it. ...
And Grace Will Lead Her Home
It has been such a crazy year for me. I told you I had my second son, and when I was on maternity leave, we had workers in and out of our house for different maintenance items (roof, air conditioner, punctured pipe from the roof repair which left us with a hole in our ceiling ...
What God Has For You is For You
Next week, my 12-week maternity leave will come to a close. It's been great, and I know I've been blessed to be able to take this time off. I'll be going back to work with no anxiety, fully rested, ready to pick up where I left off. That reminds me of the last time I ...
Transparency Will Set You Free
I haven't written in a year... talk about hiatus! I finally figured out what my problem is. When life happens and the going gets tough, I tend to buckle down and "get 'er done," and at no time do I think of documenting it. (I'll do better...) So my year at a glance: I still ...
I Think I Gave Birth to My Road Dawg
Last time you've heard from me, Jayden may have been saying a few words. Now, he's like a parrot. "Oh my gosh!" "Oh no!" "Golly!" "Who did this?" Hearing him talk makes me want to be more careful about what comes out of my mouth. And he'll be quick to point out when I'm saying ...
Another Year Wiser
I could act like it hasn't been months since I last wrote, but that would just be weird. So let me address the elephant in the room. Yes, I've been on hiatus. No, I didn't realize that it's been so long. Yes, I'm doing fine. No, I still haven't revealed what's keeping me so busy. ...
So You Don’t Know Me Now?
My goodness! You know when you blink and apparently four months have passed by in which you haven't posted a thing? Guess that ruined my New Year's Resolution, but it was a good run... am I right? I feel like I need some intro music or something to celebrate my return. Crank the volume! [audio mp3="http://hopesaidit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Aaliyah-Try-Again.mp3"] Okay... ...
