Tips and resources on raising big kids, tweens and teens.



I had a great time seeing the Alicia Keys' produced play, StickFly. The play was AMAZING, Mekhi Phifer is an amazing piece of chocolate eye candy, and the story lines are relatable for everybody. Now you can see the play with a special post-show conversation with the cast and Alicia Keys herself. Here's the info. And check out my pics from the talk back and LaLa's sick shoe game on the blog! Don't miss it!!
