Life with Tanay

Meet Tanay

Hey, I’m Tanay!

NYC millennial mom x 3. I’m a 90s baby that loves all things Harry Potter, Disney (I help lead an amazing community for black moms that are also Disney fans!) and avocado toast. Community is how I found the “blogging world” and connection is super important to me. I’m an introvert that loves people and I have BIG travel dreams that I love sharing with my different audiences.

About My Family

James

I fell in love with my best friend at 20 years old and we have been together ever since. He came into my life at the perfect moment, saved me from myself and waited patiently for me to rediscover who I am. He plays a lot of behind the scenes roles over here from helping me with creative ideas, to being my photographer but he’s mostly my biggest supporter.

RJ

The baby that introduced me to the blog world. When I got pregnant in 2014 I spent hours searching for community online. I wasn’t sure if I would know how to be a good mom, but this 7 year old continuously teaches me. Whether he is expressing his love of dinosaurs I can’t even name, reading some of his favorite books to me or draining me with his endless energy he is definitely my loving child. He is an empath like mama, and the sweetest big brother.

Zayn

My middle little. Everything I ever doubted about horoscopes, Zayn reminded me of by living up to his true Gemini personality. He is my sour patch kid. The little boy that loves cars and trucks. He is a daredevil and 100% fearless. He’s basically the kid they remind you to bolt the furniture to the wall for. And after a full day of rough exploration, he wants to do nothing else but cuddle, with any of his family.

Brielle

My rainbow baby. Brielle is just the amount of sweetness we needed in our wild and crazy lives. Her pregnancy was the roughest one and postpartum has been interesting in multiple ways. Though she be but little, she is fierce. She has the entire house wrapped around her tiny fingers before even turning one. She is the baby we all (especially her oldest brother) prayed for.

[10 MONTHS OLD] Time be still 😩😭😭 Briell [10 MONTHS OLD]

Time be still 😩😭😭
Brielle is growing so fast and I just want her to stay a baby a little longer. 

- This girl stands on her own and takes a few steps unassisted.
- Wants to eat and drink EVERYTHING.
- Thinks her brothers are hilarious.
- Says mama, dada, go, and “hey girl” 🤣 and I’m almost certain she tells her brothers to stop though the don’t listen.
- Loves taking pictures but doesn’t like when you try to sneak record her and she sees lol
- Likes to dance and clap her hands. And she recognizes songs. We Don’t Talk About Bruno and the Bluey theme song are her faves lol 

I can’t believe she turns one in two months. Time is a thief 😭😭 #itsbriellemadison #mamasgirl #girlmom #momtoaprincess #momof3

Smiling because I know I’m doing the work to help create a better tomorrow for all children! #ad by supporting @PCAAmerica.

Prevent Child Abuse America has been building better childhoods for 50 years now! The stress of parenting in normal times feels like a lot. Over the course of everything happening the last two years, the weight can almost feel unbearable. This is why I’m so glad to have the opportunity to provide resources to my community to help do the work to prevent childhood abuse and neglect before it starts. This is a cause I feel super connected to and I can’t wait to share a little more about why this partnership means so much to me. Until then, I have my blue on in honor of #wearblueday2022 and the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month! #GrowingBetterTogether
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite peop HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite people @theamiyrahmartin!!

Thank you for being exactly who you are and never changing.

Thank you for showing me it’s possible to make genuine connections in a sea of people only showing others what they want them to see.

Thank you for loving on me when I find it hard to love on myself!

& thank you for standing on endless lines and taking my kids all around Disney a few weeks ago for things that they’ve been asking to do for MONTHS/YEARS and then being unphased when they acted completely unimpressed 🤣🤣🤣 real auntie vibes!

We’ve had so many conversations about this milestone birthday but I know this is only the beginning of a new beautiful chapter for you! Besides, we’re the same person and I refuse to believe 40 is when I lose it 🤣🤣.

I love you sister!!! Have the most absolutely amazing day. You deserve nothing less!
