Because living abroad with my husband and raising 4 Black American children outside of the USA takes a bit of heart and creativity.

Instagram Post

I’ve been really intentional with my time over the past few months, and have been surprised by all of the extra time that I have now, and by how much better I feel in my roles as a mom and a spouse. In other words, I’ve been doing a better job of taking care of myself. My self care routine always includes a good book or 2. And I’ve been on a healthy roll as I’ve been able to read about 2-3 books per month (I usually listen to one and physically read the other(s)). I finished this joint in a week, though 😬.Yes, I may have neglected a few loads of laundry over the weekend and maybe, just maybe, I was super tired and hungry at work yesterday because I read until midnight and forgot about my lunch and, apparently, my 5am wake up time. I have no regrets, though- it was worth it. This book is amazing. I’m actually considering going back in for a second read 🙈(I’ll pace myself a bit more this time around.) What’s on your reading list this month? Consider adding this. #selfcare #thewaterdancer #topfivetopfivetopfive

“Hey guys, how do you feel about the first day of school?!?!” ...🤦🏾‍♀️. Happy first day of school to my UAE friends! #newschoolyear #newschool #newhome #newbeginnings #lorickstrong #expatfamily #grade3 #grade1 #KG2 #KG1

We survived our first voluntary summer in the UAE! Listen. It was hot. All day long. But, we made it! I enjoyed this summer break with my tribe- if I have to be hot and uncomfortable, these are the people that I want to be around. We had some fun, as well. To my family and friends in the States: we definitely missed all of you!!!Sending loads of love and positive energy your way. Until the next time we meet up...❤️. #summerintheUAE #lorickstrong #homesick #expatfamily

Because sometimes you want to talk about more than baby poop.
