Far be it from me, a regular old American, to tell the first African American President of the United States what he “must” do, but we are a nation in crisis here. With all of the firsts that came with having Obama in the White House for eight years, there are so many lasts that are scaring the living daylights out of us regular old Americans.  There is panic everywhere that the White House has no chance of ever being this cool again, and some things just didn’t get checked off of the list in the last near decade. Even with days left in his presidency, I am hopeful that we still have time.

I partnered with At Home stores for this paid program.

(SHORT VERSION - See longer video here: https://youtu.be/NoKfpgREoLE) My oldest turned 17 and has just one more year of sharing a room with his little brother. He spent about $100 on items from the Campus Collection at At Home, the Home Decor Superstore, to decorate his small space.

Every day at Disney theme parks all over the world, there are parades... parades with lots of music, elaborate costumes, people dancing in the street, and crowds of kids and adults taking in the splendid display.  Sounds a lot like Caribbean Carnival, right? So I decided that it would only be right for me, as a Caribbean mom, to show my Disney Side with Minnie Mouse Caribbean Carnival Headpieces!
