Take a cruise with my 4 and 6 year old
It was the best of times it was the worst of times… I kid, I kid. Just being dramatic. But it’s not for the faint at heart. I have been on three cruises with adults; never with kids. So it was unchartered territory for me but it was the option that’d allow me to travel…

Black Girls Travel Too | Solo Travel
“Why are you traveling alone? Where’s your friends? Don’t you have a man? Aren’t you scared? Should you be taking your child so far by yourself?” Goodness people. Get a grip! These are just a few questions I’m often asked because the concept of booking one seat on a flight to a destination with enough…

Black Girls Travel Too | Newlyweds showing acts of greatness
If you follow me anywhere online, you may recall I spent a few days with Bailey in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This was in July, before hurricane season attacked. I reached out to my Airbnb host and asked if he and his family were okay after the first round of storms. At that point, they…

The Traveling Toddler
10 nights. 3 cities. 1 toddler. And a busy toddler at that!!! Miss Bailey and I recently traveled to Houston, San Juan (PR), and NYC. I’m thriving on the energy from summer break, as I’d just returned from Chicago JUST AFTER we’d returned from Vegas. Yes, despite the perception of some, babies can travel to…

Live every moment
Summer, my favorite season, is my time to travel. Having a busy body Bailey in tow is changing nothing about that (my girl has a passport, do you). Brittany, one of my favorite cousins who shared my love for travel, recently accepted a job in Houston after living in Indiana for two years to complete…

Dear Delta Airlines…
As if traveling with an infant isn’t difficult enough, the least reservationists could do is make the process easier by knowing what steps to take when working with traveling families. However, I always feel that bad things only ever seem to happen to us, as my friends who have children of their own never seem…

My baby can fly
Traveling with an infant is NOT for the faint at heart. It can bring upon anxiety… Will she be happy? What if she cries nonstop? Did I pack enough diapers? If she has a bowel movement mid travel, what do I do? (And my poor baby was gassy the entire way to LA on the…

Black Girls Travel Too | France and Italy | Part 1
Let me start by asking, does anyone else get sick on planes? I thought I was just being a hypochondriac because I tend to be the person who feels sick around sick people. And I’m a teacher so I’m around sick little people often (but we use Lysol, hand sanitizer, and bleach wipes on a regular…

Black Girls Travel (Too) | Barcelona
Kids playing street ball near Las Ramblas – a popular street near city centre for tourists and locals. Coincidentally, while I was in Barbados, two of my soror-friends Catina and Adzoa were in Barcelona. Ooo-oo-oop! The Mountain at Montserrat – aka home of black Madonna. They too found their discount on The Flight Deal’s site. I…

Black Girls Travel (Too) | Barbados
This article about professionals traveling came my way just in time. Every working woman needs to take time for herself! I just returned from a weeklong trip to the sunny (ok, most days cloudy) and beautiful island of Barbados. Some may be wondering why I chose this title for my post. Well when I…

#Selma50 | I was there
“I missed it 1965 but made it in 2015.” That tag line was on banners and tees throughout the city of Selma. I’m so glad I made it! To hear him speak was simply amazing! The feeling of history surely engulfed me as soon as I stepped into downtown Selma and again in Montgomery. To…

Naturals in NOLA
^My hair had a mind of its own and I did not mind one bit! Well, I made it to Essence Festival 2014 and maaaaaaan oh maaaaaaan was it a treat!! I didn’t even go to the nightly Superdome concerts (crazy, right?) yet I had a wonderful time! No, really! There is so much to…
