Millennial Family Woman Blogging, Drinking Coffee, Writing Books, Business Plans, & Making House, Home.
This morning, as I made myself my second cup of coffee, I got to thinking, coffee at hotels are really awful. I don’t know why that thought came to me but yea it did so I decided to pen this short talk. Today is World Mental Health Day. Who decided these days anyway? Seems there [...]
Last night, for the longest time in 'I don't know how long' I spent about three hours on Skype with two girlfriends. We talked. A lot. About many, many things including social media and perception. As the conversation grew wings and took on varying subject matters, I listened to how they felt about perception, online [...]
Patriarchy, in all its wisdom and dictation has throughout history projected sex (between partners of opposite sex) as an act to be performed on or to women with little thought to their satisfaction. This lead to the universal understanding that sex was either for procreation or to service the male counterpart’s pleasure and basic need [...]
Being married to a doctor is brutal. Even more so when said doctor is a resident. From the time my husband and I started dating, his professional path was something that I took honest consideration about, among other things. Not to be a brat, but as someone who was a student nurse myself once upon [...]
You won’t believe this, but I bought the first bottle of sunflower oil based on a tweet that said something about oil lifting boobs. I’m not gonna lie, I had barely B-Cup boobs pre-pregnancy, and during breastfeeding found myself busting out of a D-Cup. Now I am back to a barely B-Cup after breastfeeding for [...]
Hey, WordPress clan. I thought we might try having a social tonight. If you are among the members of my blog’s community, I’d like to get to know you better. I’m Shandean. I’m a toddler mom, the wife of perpetually tired resident, writer and entrepreneur trying to figure it all out. Follow me on Instagram [...]
I celebrated my birthday this past weekend at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa. When the shit hit the fan in March and everything recreational went into lockdown, I wondered if it would carry through until August. Common sense said most likely it would, and though my birthdays are usually spent pretty low-key and [...]
I know this topic is discussed to death and there are opposing ideas on whether parents should put the children first in a marriage. I’m sure you can tell by the title of this post where my head is, but I would like to share my position and train of thought on a more in [...]
By ‘I’ I mean we, as in my husband and I. I want some of the good coffee you guys have down here. That's what a friend of mine who lives up the street says when he jokes about wanting some coffee when he comes by. He will get some sometimes, but other times refuse [...]
I have been working from home with a toddler since 2017. For most people, Covid 19 and the resulting work from home order sent parents into a tailspin. Even for people who work from home with older children, they're used to being able to send that child off to school or daycare, even if it's [...]
Specifically, this is The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning SoIution review and how it worked on my acne active and scarred skin. Two years ago, I put got a copper intrauterine device (IUD) put in and almost immediately, my skin went on a rampage. Acne-like I had never experienced before (That story is here). When [...]
Do you guys argue? I get this question a LOT. Partly due to the fact anyone who knows my husband or has been in any proximity to him knows his general demeanour and disposition. Of course, people who know mine are a little more sceptical that the answer to the question would be 'no', but [...]
My Greatest Fear is a Life Un-lived. Who told you you're going to get 50, 70 or 90 years of life? If you knew you would die at 40, would you approach your life the same way? If you knew you have a disability at 30 or 40 years old, what would you do differently? [...]
By now, I've been awake for a few hours. Yesterday was Mother's Day and if we're being honest, I spent it in bed. All of it. Right there is where my husband brought me coffee, showed me my gift and later brought me dinner. I roamed Netflix, social media every now and again and barely [...]
One Sunday in January 2020 I spilled milk. Let pause here for a second. You are probably wondering what the fuck does milk have to do with anything? (I’ve put a strike through the word ‘fuck’ just in-case it offended anyone. You don’t have to read that word. Just skip over it as you won’t [...]
I thought I would share five thingsI learned in marriage that are unique to my learning experience with you guys. Going into marriage can be a scary thing. It's life changing, after all. After signing those papers, you can never go back to being spinsters or bachelors if it doesn't work out. Now, you're divorcees. [...]
Many of us dream of things going back to the way they were before, but do we understand that whatever is there waiting for us on the other side of SARS-CoV-2 is not like it was before? A time when "The Great Pause" of a world perpetually on the move will be thing present only [...]
*Read this in black and white with some sad music from the past* There was a girl, who once could not bake. She had made a few attempts at cakes, but they always end up lopsided and/or burnt. *Dramatically lifts veil* Then entered the coronavirus. And you know that trying to shop for longer periods [...]

Apart, from the obvious things, COVID19 has pretty much redefined life as we know it. Notwithstanding the big things, there are so many every day, mundane activities that you're not able do or suddenly notice and it's quite sobering. Not that I make a habit of takin things for granted. I actively try not to. [...]
The conversation surrounding the fact that Jamaica needs a proper universal identification system has been long and rife with politics. All of that aside, I fully support this position. I'm even more convinced it should be mandatory and sooner rather than later. As far as I am concerned, I have given my biometric data to [...]
Blogging is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. I read that somewhere this week, and it might have been the kick I needed to jump start my engine. See, since this quarantine thing started, I’ve opened a blank page to write a blog post a couple of dozen times, but always end up closing the [...]
