Malibu, CA - Pepperdine University

So Courtney was in Malibu for a week for cheer camp at Pepperdine University. She came back very tan, he-he! and very toned. Like she could be any more toned!


Anyway, she said she had a blast. And while having a blast she made a few new friends from different parts of the world. I guess this cheerleading stuff is really intense because she is really into it and it has become the most demanding thing in her life. They met stars, went to the beach and did really cool stuff.
The squad was the "Wonder Warriors" and they actually won just about every award the camp had. They came home with 4 trophies and a few of the girls won a trip to London.


From a mom's point of view, I prefer this over any wild parties, not so good friends and bad crowds. They hold these girls at a high standard and mom's standard is even higher, so I guess Courtney is held REALLY HIGH.

I am just really happy that she loves what she is doing and it is building the dynamics of an awesome young lady!

Roots from Jamaica!

Cheryl was born in Kingston, Jamaica. My roots are very deep from the island. Although, I spent most of my teen years in New York and am an american now, I still hold dear to those deep roots. The culture on raising kids, education, life, love, family and food. Mi luv mi mango!
Did you know that Jamaica has over 15 different species of mangoes? Mango is known as the fruit of the tropics. Mangoes are used in a variety of ways in the Caribbean. Green mangoes are used in hot sauces and condiments, while ripe mangoes appear in desserts and candies and in drinks. The best varieties of mangoes are the Bambay, East Indian, St. Julian and Hayden.
Jamaica also have over 20 different species of fruits!
