Things to do at home during COVID-19

Things are getting crazy out here!
Being at home sounds like a dream but if you're anything like me after 3 days of doing nothing I'm completely over it. There's only so much social media I can take in one day so I came up with a list of things you can do to stay somewhat sane.


  • Get in the kitchen! 
You have nothing but time so you might as well cook an elaborate meal. Breakfast is my favorite meal so I always go all out. Catch me in the kitchen whippin up strawberry pancakes, omelets, quiche, and anything else I can teach myself. Maybe try something different and do a vegetarian meal or an Indian dish! It could be fun to challenge the people in your home and vote on who cooked the best meal. Maybe you can get romantic and make a fancy coursed meal for your family. Have everyone dress up like you're going to a 5 star restaurant. There's even a cool app (THAT'S FREE) where you input all the ingredients you have in your fridge and it tells you what meals you could possibly make! The app is called Supercook and it is so easy to navigate. Just speak into the microphone and list off all of the ingredients you have in your fridge and the app will curate different recipes for you. 

  • Organize ya closet
We're obviously skipping Spring and going straight into Summer so get rid of all those clothes! Denim shorts from highschool? It's time to let them go. Halloween costumes, club dresses you're never going to wear again, shoes that don't even fit anymore- let em go sis. This is the perfect time to start fresh and brand new. If you're feeling frisky why not post your clothes on Poshmark, LetGo, Facebook marketplace, or maybe create an Instagram page to sell your clothes. You can always donate them as well. Given the impending timeline, I am sure there are people out there who will need clothes once this virus is gone. 

  • Exercise
Come out of quarantine with a phat ass! Youtube and Instagram are my friends! Every at-home exercise you could ever imagine is on both of these platforms. Yoga on youtube is the easiest thing to find and do. Take an hour to focus solely on yourself without any distractions!

  • Journal
I've been journaling more often now that I am stuck at home. Expressing my emotions/confusion during this time has helped me. I've even started writing down my dreams to interpret them later.

  • Do drugs
You're at home...why not. Be safe and we're not responsible if you take our advice.

  • Read a book
When was the last time you read a book? I haven't read in almost 4 months. I recently discovered that theres an app on our iPhones called Books and they have free books on there. Maybe everyone already knew that but thought I would throw it out there. 

  • Beauty
Once again Youtube is the holy mecca for all things beauty. You can learn how to do your makeup, lay a lacefront, do some braids, etc. You can't go anywhere so you don't have to worry about looking stupid.

  • Do absolutely nothing
This is the best option. Take a bath, get drunk, lay on the couch, binge shows (check out our other post about bingeworthy shows), meditate, take 7 naps, masturbate, etc. For the first time in a long time we finally have a break. Take this time and relax.

#DearKamryn Year Two

#DearKamryn, 
Today you are two! I am a mommy to a two year old how?! I love you so much baby girl! This year has been fun! You weren’t walking by your first birthday so that was a huge milestone at the beginning of this year! You are talking so much! I’m amazed at that little brain of yours! You have such a sweet heart Kamryn, always asking if “I’m okay” haha i don’t know where you learned it from, but when you lean in with that little face of concern, I melt, the world needs your sweet heart. You love pizza, thanks to TT Courtney, you ask for it often & we almost always give in! You love to sing!   You wake up singing. Wheels on the bus is your jam, but ABCs is a fan favorite. I’m also proud to say you love BeyoncĂ© almost as much as I do! I hope 10 years from now when you are reading this, we are still having our dance parties. You have grown a lot this year, your personality is front and center and it’s been beautiful to watch! Your are my sunshine! You are officially potty trained! You have discovered Peppa Pig, and are mimicking everything you see! You have had your go at a few curse words lol, so we’re cleaning up our words around here. You have switched your love of fruits to more of a love hate relationship with veggies! Your favorite snack is seaweed from Trader Joe’s, which happens to be mine too! We can never keep enough in the house! You love being outside, and talking on the phone. You are giving kisses again and I am so so happy! For a long while you wouldn’t give anyone a kiss, we were respecting your ‘No’ but I am so glad that’s done! I missed your sweet nose kisses! We moved closer to Gigi and being able to be closer to family has been a godsend for us both! Your village is strong! You are still so silly! You make me laugh constantly! You have a laugh that just fills me up! I wish time could stand still!



 You are still 100% daddy’s girl, I’m sure that will never change, watching you two together is one of my favorite things! You’re a special lady Kakes. You are strong willed and very opinionated, you are thoughtful and sweet. You are gentle and loving! I’m so grateful  you’re mine!  My prayer going into year two is that you continue growing healthy, that you continue to have a song in your spirit and your heart stays pure! I pray that the Lord guides you in a way that only he can! I pray that your smile never fades and that this day and everyday before and after, above all else you know  and can feel how much you are loved!


Mommy and I love you are my two favorite things you say right now. Oh and Hey Google. If smiles could save the world, yours would hands down! Today we get to celebrate you! We get to celebrate that God chose us to raise such an amazingly special little girl! How blessed am I to be able to create life from my body, but even more blessed that I got you! This life is so much more beautiful because you’re in it! Happiest of birthdays my sweet sweet girl! You are my greatest love!

Love always 
Mommy
