Miss Lori names more #SoFabColor bloggers part 2

Using the impetus of my upcoming trip to the 2012 Disney Social Media Moms Conference, last week I introduced a new hashtag, #SoFabColor. I wrote that my intention was to “leverage my own notoriety to extend some limelight to other influencers of color.” I also stated that,” My goal is to increase the diversity of this great webishpere that we all maneuver in.” To do all of that I shared info about 8 fabulously colorful bloggers.

Miss Lori takes a relaxing trip to The Peninsula Spa

I got a message from a friend on my facebook page this morning encouraging me to take some time for myself today and to breathe. Well, normally those words are completely foreign to me, but today they were totally speaking my language!  The language of The Peninsula Spa that is. Because that is exactly where I was this morning, between Rush and the famed Miracle Mile of Michigan Avenue right on Superior. And superior it was in every way. [Read more...]

Miss Lori is celebrating bloggers of color part 1 #SoFabColor

I love the social media webisphere I get to work and play in everyday. I am so very appreciative of all that is has afforded me these last few years. Not without a lot of time effort and hard work, but the rewards have been plentiful both personally and professionally. For example, my upcoming trip to the Disney Social Media Moms conference. An invite such as that is directly related to the success of the work that I do, which leaves me equally proud and humbled, particularly because I know there are a lot of influencers out there who working hard too, especially influencers of color.

Miss Lori will let her Skele-Toes do the walking at Disney

My children and I are headed to Disney World in Orlando, Florida for the Disey Social Media Moms Conference and to tour an orange grove for Tropicana Pure Premium 100% OJ in 17 days. That may seem like ample prep time for you, but in my World it’s crunch time. We haven’t received a definitive itinerary, so I can’t plan specific outfits just yet. But no matter what the itinerary says one thing will be a must, a great pair of walking shoes for casing the parks and the grove. [Read more...]

Miss Lori doesn’t have the stomach for the Hunger Games movie

I went to see the movie Hunger Games with my 11 year old last night. She had already seen it with her classmates last week, but she enjoyed it so much that she wanted to see it again, and she wanted too share it with me. (Proud Mommy moment!) [Read more...]

Miss Lori is 41 days away from her 42nd birthday and she is NintendoEnthused

I am in the third quarter of birthday season here at my house. Both of my daughters have already celebrated theirs. Still to come this month are my son, my mother and my niece. So seeing packages outside my door is a pretty common occurrence these days. But today was special. Not only was the box the biggest to cross my threshold in a while, but it was addressed to ME!

I’m so excited to announce that I am taking my children on a trip to visit a Tropicana Orange Grove in Florida next month! Here’s the best part: I want you to take a trip too, and Tropicana wants to send you! (How’s that for a vitamin C jolt of great news?) [Read more...]

Miss Lori celebrates her daughter’s birthday at Navy Pier

My youngest daughter Jaedyn turns 9 years old today. I can hardly believe that my little cherub is growing up as she is, fast and fabulous. But I guess it isn’t surprising, our life is moving so fast, it’s hard to keep up, or get everything in. That’s why in anticipation of Jaedyn’s birthday I ended up throwing together an improptu celebration the day before because a pocket of time opened up and friends were game for fun. [Read more...]
