May the rest of 2021 bring you peace, joy, and hap

May the rest of 2021 bring you peace, joy, and happiness! It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be hard for some. Feelings of grief, anxiety, and depression are amplified.
This holiday season I have challenged myself to go easy on those around me, and to check on those who I love and hold dear to my heart regularly.
Today I paid it for the lady behind me inside Starbucks! The lady behind me actually cried. I was not expecting that! She thanked me like 50 times. I don't know her story, but her reaction was worth the $5. I've done this before in a drive thru, but never inside a store. I also get super excited when it happens to me, and I always pay it forward. I dare you to try this! It will change your entire day!

True life... I love to decorate Christmas Trees.

True life... I love to decorate Christmas Trees.
Last week I was in tears because I couldn't find my Christmas trees in our storage unit. My husband told me he saw them in the very back of the unit. I climbed and moved every box I could, only to leave empty handed. 😤😭

My husband knew that me not having those trees meant attitude for the rest of the day.😡 He told me to meet him after work and he would get them for me and he did. We spent about an hour moving furniture and what seemed like a million boxes.

We located 3 of the 6, which I was satisfied with. I was mainly happy about my 10 foot big girl! We couldn't locate our ladder, so my husband was very concerned about how I was going to put it up and decorate it.
When I showed him how, he made me promise not to do it, unless he was home.🙊 I agreed! He was terrified and tickled at the same time.
I told him where there is a will, there is a way!

Was this dangerous? Possibly
Would I do it again? Absolutely 💯
But did your girl understand the assignment?

First snow in Ohio and it's not even winter! It's beautiful, but if it's snowing like this in the fall, what is winter going to look like? 😳
Let me go ahead and call in this prescription for SAD, because ain't no way! 😱😢
The boys are enjoying though! How cold is it where you are?

Happy November y'all! I see a lot of new faces around here! Welcome to Kinya's Korner! I'm so glad you're here. Allow me to (re) introduce myself! (IYKYK)

My name is Nakinya (Nuh-ken-yah). I'm a mom of two boys (boy mom's unite), and I'm married to my highschool sweetheart. We've been together for 21 years, and married for 13. My husband is my Homie Lover Friend! You can check him out over at @dukeofdurhams.

In my little Korner I post about my family, women empowerment, balling on a budget (home decor, fashion, travel), self care, and community building. I also blog and podcast both named Kinya's Korner (link in bio)

We recently relocated to Ohio. We are excited about this new chapter in our lives. We miss Houston, and it will always be our second home.

I'm going to Christmas from November 1 to December 31(which is my bday btw)! Why? Because it makes me happy and it's my business 😉 I will throw in a pumpkin, and a turkey just to be considerate.😂
So expect tons of Christmas content! Recipes, decor, gift guides, and family fun ideas.

I also suffer from Seasonal Depression. I plan on sharing more about my journey with that!

Let me know in the comments if you are putting up the tree before or after Thanksgiving? 🦃 or 🎄

Reality Check: I’m closer to 40 than I am 30. Ho

Reality Check: I’m closer to 40 than I am 30.
Honestly… I’m excited. I never thought I would ever say that! I heard that your 40’s opens a new level of freedom, confidence, and self awareness. You will finally understand and appreciate what true self care and self love is. I. Can. Not. Wait. Let’s Go!!

One thing I know for sure I will be doing is scheduling a mammogram. Because there is a history of this disease in my family, the women in my family do not play about it. I remember my mom and aunts asking each other every year if they had scheduled theirs. If one of them did not, side eyes and responses such as: “What are you waiting on?” or “Hang up and call the doctor right now!” were given.

My mom and aunts lost their mother to this disease, and I lost my grandmother.

Ladies these are the stats of Breast Cancer:
*Women in the US lifetime risk of breast cancer is 1 in 8.
*Breast Cancer has the highest mortality rate in women between the ages of 20-59 of any other cancer.
*African American women have the highest breast cancer mortality rate, which is 31%.

So many of us fall into these categories. Monthly breast exams at home and yearly one’s with your doctor should be a constant. Mammograms are a part of preventative breast cancer. I urge you to advocate for yourself, and make sure you schedule one if you are over 40. It is a form of self care.

Tag your friends and family to remind them to schedule their mammogram.
Tag someone who has lost someone to Breast Cancer.
This is for them.
We owe it to each other to demand preventative healthcare as a community of women.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. I dare not le

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. I dare not let this month end, without celebrating my neurodivergent kid. Dyslexia affects your ability to read, spell, write, and speak.

Since his diagnosis we have learned so much about it. Here are 4 facts:
🌟1. It's genetic. (My hubby and I don't have it, but we found out that other family members live with it.)
🌟2. Dyslexic does not mean "Dumb!"
🌟3. 1 in 5 students or 15-20% of the population have a language based learning disability.
🌟4. ADHD and Dyslexia look alike. You should test for both.

Ashton has been blessed with a work ethic like no other. I'm so thankful for his diagnosis. It is helped us to see the world through his eyes. He's a brilliant, hardworking student. Because of the tools, and resources he now has access to, he making A's and B's. We are so proud of him!
Show Ashton your support by dropping a ❤️ below
