About Me
I live in sunny Southern California, where, contrary to what Tony! Toni! Tone! may have told you, it does rain on occasion! I’m a wife to a wonderful man, a mother to a beautiful little girl, and a young woman that’s just trying to find her way. I describe this blog as a mirror that reflects what my life is like in all of those roles, and how I strive to see the beauty in it all.
What does YeYo mean?
The word “ye yo” (pronounced yay-yo) means mother in the language of the Masai Tribe in Kenya. I was inspired by neo-soul artist Erykah Badu’s song of the same name (click here to listen). It’s a beautiful love letter that documented how Erykah felt while carrying her first child. This blog does the same for me. Here, I hope to engage you with my personal story, while also offering advice, anecdotes, and other fun stuff on a variety of topics that interest me.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to engaging with all of you!
Hey There! I’m a Southern Cali mom too. Yes, Toni Tony Tone are LIARS!
When I saw the title of your blog I thought of Erykah Badu. Didn’t she have a song called Yeyo? Anywho, lovely blog! I’ll be stopping by.
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! Comments make my day! LOL Yes, my blog name was inspired by Erykah Badu’s song. I wrote about it on the “What Does Yeyo Mean” tab. I look forward to seeing more you and I’ll definitely return the favor!
Another southern cali mommy here. I love stumbling upon other local mommies. Everyone seems to be in the south or east coast! You seem very sweet and down to earth. Welcome to the mommy club. I have a little girl as well (19 months) any questions for an old pro( lol) feel free to ask.
Hi Krissy! I so agree with you about most mommies NOT being from SoCal! LOL We need to represent. Thanks for visiting and commenting! I really appreciate it.
