So yesterday, I put GG on the pot and gave her a closed tube of lotion to keep her occupied and distracted from what I imagined would be one of them difficult poops. She smiled at me, took the tube in one hand, pounded what would be the opening into the palm of the other, rubbed her fingers together and ran them through her hair. I do believe lil mama was pretending to apply hair product! #spongeboog
I’m home for the holidays, shut yo mouth and keep on talking!
My mom is the center director of Girls Inc here in St. Louis. It’s an amazing non-profit organization that seeks to teach young girls to be ‘strong, smart and bold’. As a holiday treat, she surprised the kiddos with a visit from the Chick Fil-A Cow…dressed as Santa!
When Cow Santa popped around the corner, the range of emotions was overwhelming– there were screams of terror and squeals of excitement. All manners were lost. One girl, bless her little heart, was sobbing uncontrollably, ‘but santa’s not a cow!’.
For the record, my darling Boog… not scurred…
even played a game in the gym…
Momma cheesing… he brought chicken sandwiches too! Hot damn!
This morning I turned my tired, frizzy old twist-out…
…into Magic! *tips hat to Antoinette and Shanti*
and when I got to Girls Inc, found my style twin Brandi! Werk!
I love your mom!! I used to work at Girls Inc for two years as a Program Instructor ! What a great program!!!!

OMGosh! Nik, I was TOTALLY going to do a Hair Crush interview with my mom when I see her this weekend:)! She is a super low maintenance, no nonsense type of person, so I can't wait to hear her answers on some of my standard questions!! And, how amazing and fun!! You had me falling out with the quote from the little girl about Santa not being a cow!!! LMBO!!! And that ball is bigger than Boog!!! What did she think that she was doing;)?? Love it:)!!

Thank God for people like your mother who work to empower young women as they are our future! Wow, a cow dressed as Santa….nuff said!
Your family is beautiful Nik! Loving that scarf too, how did you tie it?
Nikki, you should do a blog just on Boog. She is soooo cute, I would totally log in everyday. I love to see you and your family. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE Girls Inc.! I had my daughter in the program 10 years ago, when they had the South City Location! STILL trying to get her to wear her hair natural, (no relaxer but she loves to straighten it all the time.) I should have started sooner!
cute! also love the scarf
How do you tie your scarf?
Thanks ladies and I will definitely attempt to get mom on the couch!
So the boots came from Steve Madden and the scarf was a huge one purchased at Charlotte Russe a couple of weeks ago… I cut a strip off for this look.
Almost forgot, I need deets on that scarf too!
Where did you get the boots? I love the color!
Beautiful hair Nikki, you and your mother! Boogie is always adorable.
Nikki we see where you get all the hair, its time we get momma on the couch : )
Nikki you are always so cute and put together. Love that scarf!
Thanks for all the sweet words ladies!
I know, right?! I was SO surprised, pleasantly so! She was a bit apprehensive but definitely not scared. My lil boog is growing up!
Wait a minute.
Lil Boogie was afraid of pumpkins in a pumpkin patch, but not of a big ol' cow in a Santa costume? I guess she grew out of that phase, huh? 🙂
What great role modeling you have provided her! Lil mama = Lil Nikki!
Aww Boogie is so adorable!
And I love your scarf.
Love that hair Nikki!
Beautiful pics! I didn't know your mom worked at Girls Inc!
Too funny. I heart boogie
Thanks dolls!!!
Hahahahhaha, toddlers are so smart–they watch and imitate everything you do! Good job Boogie!
Adorable!
She's gettin' her regimen down and everything!
So Precious!!!
Too Cute! I know what you're going through. My boy tries to grease my hair! It only gets better (or worse depending on your point of view)!
Samantha
I'm getting one of those hats! Do they come in adult sizes?!
So cute!
Go on ahead Gia! She's seen her mama do it one too many times!
Now that is what I call multi-tasking!
Keep the Boogie adventures coming!
It's these moments girl, cherish them!
LOL! get it Boog!!
Love it!
thanks ladies!!! And yes, the super cute hat is from Curly Zebra– http://www.curlyzebra.com/catalog/i68.html
That is too cute for words! Feeling that hat!
LOL!!!They are always watching and listening. OK, that hat is too cute.
Cute!!!
It's only going to get worse Nikki! My baby's first word sounded like shit cause that's all she was hearing me say. Needless to say I don't cuss as often anymore! They soak up everything we do and you'd be surprised that she's paying attention even when it looks like she isn't!
Nikki, stop telling fibs on Boogie! That's crazy and too adorable!
dead at spongeboog. I love you little mini CN!
Kids do the darndest things and yes they are sponges! My 18 month old mimics me all day.
Is that the hat from Curly Zebra?
Love that hat with the tassles!
no she didn't Nikki!
TOO funny!
