HAPPY WIFE, NAPPY LIFE | A Blog About Interracial Marriage & Relationships

I know we've all heard the old school saying that goes...  

"Happy wife, happy life"?  

But how DO you keep a HAPPY wife (and marriage) in this NAPPY life?  

HOW do you grow a happy and successful MARRIAGE in this NEW school world we live in???

THAT'S what we strive to answer!

Hey Fam-Lei!  Lady XO here!  

I just wanted to introduce my husband, myself and the HOTTEST blog about ALL things interracial marriage and relationships - also known as: 

Happy Wife, Nappy Life

I am your HAPPY WIFE, Relationship Coach and Author; Bridgett Allen - AKA - Lady XO!  

My husband; CJ; A.K.A. "Nappy Life" is Co-host of our YouTube channel and is also featured in many of my blog quotes, youtube videos, and podcast interviews!

****************************************

So - What IS HWNL?


We are a perfectly imperfect, interracial POWER couple AND former pastors who bring a christian-based approach to relationship coaching.  

Our blog ministry strives to bring positive and comedic answers for those looking for a different perspective on the TOUGH questions in marriage and relationships.  

Although we discuss all types of relational issues; we offer an additional focus on topics of interracial love and family.

Because the average american family setup looks ALOT different than the old school days of "Leave It To Beaver" or "The Brady Bunch".  

(And if you've never even heard of those sitcoms, it's okay... it's just proof in the pudding that I really AM old as dirt...  Lol).

However; though interracial families are becoming more and more of a normality, the challenges they endure ARE NOT.  

Interracial marriages and families have an entirely different set of hardships than average families.  (Which we talk about in many of our other posts ).

Regardless of what anyone tells you; BELIEVE ME when I say - it's DIFFERENT!

A Little About Us


My husband and I have been married since 2008 and have a beautifully blended family of 10 children.  

He was a single father of 5 and I had 4 kids when we met. 

Eventually, we had one baby boy (cause why not, right 🤷🏻‍♀️) who looks like the two of US - and fused our two huge families together!


As we experienced challenges in our own marriage and family, we began seeking guidance and noticed a lack of positive marriage role models in our community.  

Through much encouragement from our inner circle; we decided to share our journey in love and marriage and offer advice to help others make it over the speed bumps of it...

From learning to braid mixed hair to cultural differences in parenting and more; we have a story to tell and advice to give for it all!

So strap up!  And enjoy the inside look into our Happy Nappy Life!

And as ALWAYS, we like to end by saying our version of "TOODLES" -

In marriage, you have to get two of everything...  So TWO Good-Byes or "Toodles" is:

"Two of those"!

So..............

Until next time my Fam-Lei!

We love you!

✌️TWO-DOZE!✌️

Interracial Relationships | Cooking MATTERS

Push play to listen to the audio-blog I've always been a 💣💥BOMB💥💣 cook.  By my own record and my family's, I am probably one of the best cooks in my family. (Although my younger brother, Justin - The Professional Sous Chef - would beg to differ...) Nonetheless, I never thought I would EVER have a complaint about my cooking. And then I started dating black men... 👋 Hey Fam-lei 👋 Lady XO here! And THIS topic in relationships is almost NEVER spoken about in any blog I've read or podcast I have listened to. I want to FIRST say, NO...   This is NOT going to be a post about my recipes... (although if you'd like any, I'm all for exchanging some 👉happywifenappylife@gmail.com) THIS is a post about compatibility and why cooking does matter when you're thinking of being in an interracial relationship. I explain... Cooking can be just as intimate of an expression of love as a hug can be at times. It's that warm feeling you get when som

Is It Over? How to heal past PAINFUL MOMENTS in marriage.

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Hello fam-lei! I come to you today a bit more sullen than usual... If anyone is out there reading these blogs, please pray for me... Sometimes marriage isn't just hard, it's downright TOXIC-feeling. There are these "make or break" moments that you will come to that will test every shred of patience, loyalty and FAITH in God that you possess... Times where you begin to wonder if the other person is the same person you said I DO to at all... Times where you have to LITERALLY weigh the good and the bad and make a hard decision... Do I stay or do I go? I thought that I knew what my breaking point was... The point in which I would say AUTOMATICALLY "I would leave if they did this ________ no questions asked." But I suppose when "unconditional love" is a factor in your boundaries; your boundary lines change and the saying "Love knows no bounds" starts sounding like less of a fairyta

Unapologetically A QUEEN | Setting Boundaries in Your Kingdom

Push play to listen to audio-blog Ever had someone "cross a line" with you, Queen? We all have that one friend that just doesn't seem to know boundaries... Whether it be for lack of life experience or lack of consideration; at some point in your friendship you may feel a need to have a necessary discussion with them about your "boundaries". This can be difficult at times... Depending on the person. So how does a lady get a point across without losing classy-points? 👋 Hey fam-lei 👋 Lady XO here! When it comes to setting boundaries, I like to use the analogy of building a "moat" around your kingdom. Same as we did in the days of Renaissance. For those of you who have never seen "A Knight's Tale" or read any King Arthur story; you might not be old enough to know what a MOAT even is... So let me break it down for you... A MOAT is an added layer of protection that surrounds an entire castle and is dug out of the earth and purpose
