    Bonus Episode 14 - Story time

    Bonus episode alert. In honor of Women’s History month we want to celebrate the life of Toni Morrison. She was a phenomenal black woman, author, educator and Nobel Peace Prize winner for Literature. My (Ronica) personal favorite. In this episode I read an excerpt from the book “The Bluest Eye,” by none other than the late, Toni Morrison. RIP🙏🏽

Ronica loves the character of her home with or without curtains up to the windows for privacy. Taking showers in the dark and still living out of boxes has her going insane.

    Episode 12 Lettuce Wraps and Pesto (Part 1 of 2)

    How about cucumbers and spicy chicken on a lettuce wrap? Or eating pesto right out of the jar? Reggen and Ronica share two recent recipes that they’ve tried. Although not their family favorites. The sister cousins both enjoyed every bite. In this episode, Reggen talks about the first year in her new home. She talks about expectations versus reality. I think we’ve all been there when dealing with homeownership. From leaky pipes to replacing all the flooring within the first month of moving in the home to warped floors and a high pitched garage. Download this episode as a favorite. Share with three friends plus all of your cousins.

Listen as they talk what celery juice and homemade caramel popcorn does for the skin body and tastebuds. Wearing a natural hairstyle is more than just beauty. It’s a mindset it’s a way of life it’s a culture. How you see yourself sometimes determines how you wear your hair and how you see your hair is sometimes how you see yourself.

    Christmas Eve (no music)

    Family traditions on Christmas Eve created strong roots in Reggen and Ronica’s childhood. What traditions do you share around the holidays? Are you starting new ones this year? Many traditions are centered around shared recipes. In this episode, Ronica’s favorite memory, ironically was getting a kitchen from Santa. Reggen recalls her granny not following rules when passing out gifts for Christmas. She gave some grandkids 3 gifts and others 1 gift. There were at least 9 grandkids at the time.

    Raccoon, possum and rabbit for Thanksgiving.

    Reggen and Ronica talk about what’s on the menu for Thanksgiving. Wild meat or game is not their favorite. Raccoon, possum and rabbit has graced their family table. Who gets bullied around the holidays? Think of the cousin who can only bring paper goods but really wanted to bring their famous casserole. What about the aunt who talks about all the weight gain or the new boo. Bullying shows up on everybody’s doorstep. Are you the bully or do you get bullied or both??
