- formerly Gabbing with Grace
I am racially Italian-American & African-American. I am a biracial, self-identifying, culturally & ethnically black American woman living in the segregated Midwest.

Around this time last year, I made the mistake of putting off enrolling Rhysie in 3′s pre-school for the Fall. When the Fall rolled around I couldn’t find a single school that would take him except the pricey private schools. Man, that was an oversight. All year, Rhysie’s asked when he gets to go to […]

I’m pretty sure it was meant to help fight childhood obesity…only none of the kids there were actually obese. #Ironical There was a giant unsupervised bouncy thing and I’m not even kidding the kids were going wild, it was […]
