March of Dimes 1

The mini’s went to the March of Dimes Signature Chef’s Auction last night and were beyond well behaved. C-Money helped his dad hand out olive oil cake, while Biggie and I hit the auction tables. We even got to go on stage and accept the Honorary Chef award. Catcher had his moment when he got behind the mike and said to the crowd ‘thank you.’ Congrats to the March of Dimes for raising over 100K for babies born prematurely!

Don’t forget bitches. My LOCAL HOLIDAY Challenge is still in full effect. Shop local and win some kick ass Cleveland gifts!

Your response to the Blog It Forward Happy Hour benefit for Anissa Mayhew is PHENOMENAL. We have had so many people asking how they can help. The human spirit is so absolutely beautiful and I am so proud that so many people in our city are eager to help someone out they have never met. Cheers Cheers Cheers. Can’t wait to meet you!

By these cherubs. What do we think my little Louisiana could possibly be thinking at that very second?

Biggie Smalls makes her way down East Fourth Street

My baby is 16 months old and I feel like if I close my eyes for too long she will be 16. It’s amazing how the first year of her life is now the past. Silly life always moving faster or slower than you want it to. Everyday with my lil’ mama (yes all her nicknames are rappers) is a new and amazing experience. She is quite frankly the funniest chick I have ever met and I am so lucky to be her best friend. The Chef & I hung out with her all day yesterday and it was completely our pleasure~we are the luckiest.

I Love Louisiana, the person not the state!

Each moment: A new lifetime

My daughter breaks my blackened heart every nanosecond of my life. She is astonishingly beautiful. I can’t stop staring at her sometimes…

Since she started walking a few weeks back she has turned into this powerhouse of a girl pushing her brother out of the way, stealing his toys and leaving a trail of dust in her wake. She is hardcore awesomer. She is a riot grrrrl and it’s not even 1993. Her quirky hilarious personality lights up my day and also makes it quite interesting. There is never a dull moment, there is never a second of silence, we never sit ever. And I like it like that, I like listening to her ba ba ba ba ba’s, na’s, grrr’s, and ooooooooooo’s. She is expressive and reacts to everything like she just came sliding out of the birthing canal minus the goo and screaming. It is always new and exciting for her and although I fear the day that excitement leaves her eyes and mouth I know that it will still be there. Because that is who she is. And always will be. That light behind her eyes will shine forever.

I love my Louisiana.
