Birthday in the Birdcage

Randi, In the usual Randi way, you found the only restaurant in DC with a birdcage suspended in mid-air (getting in and out was hysterical). It was a perfect spot to celebrate my birthday (2004). Thank you for always making me feel special and for ALWAYS finding something fun and different for your girls! ❤...

Love From Mel

Ran,I remember when you said you were moving (only for a year, lol). So many thoughts were swirling in my head. First meeting you/Mocha Moms. Runaway nights to your house. Surgery in your kitchen. Bookclub with themed outings. Secrets. Parties, Chili’s etc… As I sat at Ruby Tuesday’s I could only, selfishly, think about how my life was already in turmoil!! How was I going to get through the crazy without my (crazy) friend? Because what I now know is...

She’s a Bad “B”

That Randi B is one bad “B!”  You know you kill a bathing suit everywhere you go! ❤❤ Love,  Miss Kim...

California Love

The date was Saturday, October 21 2005. We were both in attendance at one of “those events”.  The gala was scheduled to begin at 7:00pm and as I opened registration, up walked a beautiful black woman. She had on a beautiful blue gown, hair coiffed to perfection   and the warmest demeanor and welcoming smile.  I hadn’t met her before  and thought to myself, damn, the beautiful people have arrived and they’re punctual. . That was the first time that I met you Randi B and my...

C. “Neversays” Book Talk!  To see you in action made us so proud!  You are amazing writer and presenter.  Writing is definitely your calling! Happy Almost Birthday! Love you!

Queen Sugar and The Queen of Crazy

When your bestie is the Queen of Crazy and ALWAYS has the hookup to some hot shit, you let her talk you into foolishness like not going to the airport to fly home, changing your flight at the last minute, calling your J-O-B to let them know you ain’t gonna make it back to work as planned. Then…she makes a U-Turn in the street because you are no longer driving to the airport – y’all are going to the party...

My Best Birthday From Mom

With so many memorable Birthday celebrations to choose from its hard to choose just one. Every Birthday I’ve had was very special in its own way. The best one was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade, it’s been so long I forget which. My Mom threw a birthday themed, “The ZachOLympics” which was a sports and Olympic themed Birthday. The creativity and unlimited activities was amazing. They set up a volleyball net in my brothers room for beachball, she setup...

Butterfly Cake & Blue Kool-Aid

Randi (aka my baby mama), You have ensured that every birthday for the boys is special. In honor of the birthday boy, here is a throw-back to Zach’s first birthday. You tried your hand at making a homemade butterfly cake and it was beautiful! You had a whole theme – the color blue. So, in true Randi style, you served blue Kool-Aid to compliment the occasion (and it was soo good)! This was the first time I saw you as...

My Favorite Vacation With Mom

My favorite vacation with my Mom was probably one of our first trips to Costa Rica. I just remember it was so exotic and it’s probably my favorite country to visit. My mom and I Ziplined, learned to surf, and saw Tucas at the pool which was so cool. I just remember having so much fun and mom making every activity we partaked in better.  ❤ Zach...

My Best Vacation With Mom

My best vacation with my mom was when she surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas on my birthday. It was a complete surprise because I was getting ready to go to school as she told me. We flew up the same day and had a great time while my classmates were all in school....

Bright Light

You have the unique ability to walk into any room and make it brighter! I’m sure this is one of the reasons people are drawn to you. Your energy is magnetic. Thank you for always being the bright light that makes everything better. Love you. Tami...

The Randi Experience

Not pictured here is you… you were behind the camera- I think. Kim and I thought this might be the last picture of us alive…LOL  So what had happen was… you told us that we had to have an authentic Jamaican experience. So we get off the cruise ship.  Walk through the “gated” tourist section- making our way outside the “gated” tourist section to the street.  Due to the unspoken rules of who can pick up tourist outside of the...

Wedding Memories

What an honor it was to be in your wedding!  I still have the most beautiful letter from you responding to my request for you to be in my wedding and you asking me to be in your wedding.  True to your wonderful and giving spirit, you dropped off the most beautiful off white designer pantsuit for me to join the bridal party.  It was my first trip to Seattle and the west coast and I was so excited to...
