Like Hot Melted Honey Butter

by Ronnie Tyler
Lamar and I pretty much have our nightly routine down to a science with the girls. After long days for both of us we all sit down to eat dinner between 7:15 and 8 PM every night.

Usher’s New Single, “Papers,” Rubs Me The Wrong Way

by Tara Pringle Jefferson

I’m Not Your Superwoman

by Aja Dorsey Jackson
Last week both of the kids and I became sick with the flu. They were sick first, but of course by the time they were back to running and playing, I felt like I had been hit by a truck and was fighting the worst version of the flu I’ve ever experienced. By Tuesday I had a temperature of 104, but I still felt like it was extremely important that I get the mud spots out of the carpet that someone had tracked into the basement. As …
