Happy New Year Dear Readers!!
It’s been a busy holiday season, but ohhh so fun. Let’s start with DIY bath paint that I learned to make from the blog Having Fun At Home. All you need is a muffin tin, shaving cream and food coloring. I also had a leftover paint brush that A.J. used.
The paint colors were vivid and attractive to play with.
My sister also visited during the holidays. We always have a blast when we are together.
Sherria, JaDawn and me with A.J. Earlier that day we ate at This Is It and finished up some shopping. Sherria was thoughtful to buy A.J. a Mr. Potato Head, too.
We met writer friend Pamela Antoinette at Jeju for some pampering and then met up again the next day to eat at Papadeaux Seafood Restaurant.
Having a blast at Hippo Hop!
A bracelet I made for my Sister.
A.J. was excited about all the special gifts from his Auntie “Gee Gee.”
His grandparents sent us a gift so that we could purchase A.J. a big wheel. We were able to do that and more. We were also able to get him Congo drums and an electric drum machine. That was so sweet of them.
We did attend a couple of Kwanzaa events. We especially liked the all female drum ensemble, Giwayen Mata. A.J. was mesmerized by the drumming. We attended church on New Year’s Day, then Skyped with My sister and parents, which was a perfect way to end the holiday season and to begin the New Year.
Pray, Persist & Prosper!

Hello Asia,
I am new to Mocha Moms and have only been to two events. I also recently moved to South Fulton so I didn’t know any other Moms the area.My little one who is 10 months is sick which means I’m up watching over him and checking email early in the morning. I saw your yahoo post and decide to take a look. This is a beautiful site and very inspirational. I’m a first time Mom and I work full time with hopes that I can become a stay at home Mom( I hope my husband reads this comment lol!!!) I was in Montessori school until I turned 5 years old and forgot how much I enjoyed my learning environment. Your blog showed me some Montessori ideas that I can do with him in the evening. Also, the music classes I’ll be signing up in this month.
I look forward to your post. I pray you and your family have a happy and blessed New Year!!!
Mocha Mom,

Anise,
I hope your little one gets well soon. I know how unnerving it can be to have your precious child feeling under the weather. I’m so glad that you find my blog inspirational. You are so lucky to have had a Montessori early educational experience. I hope these activities will continue to get your creative juices flowing as to what you can do with your little one. I also hope that you will subscribe to Beacon Villages and share posts that you think others may like. Your comment boosted my morning. It’s great to hear from readers because it lets me know that someone else besides me is reading my posts. LOL! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Mocha Mom,

I absolutely love the shaving cream/food color idea!
Your sis looks great btw!
Nikeia, I love it, too! The colors are so pretty and it’s inexpensive fun. My sister has transformed her eating habits. She does look great!
