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!✌️

My Mom Is My Hero | Our Interracial Love Pioneeress

I watched an episode of "Red Table Talk" where my favorite iCarly star, Jennette McCurdy revealed her struggles stemming from an abusive relationship with her mother... Seen here... https://fb.watch/fqZAPAoEyf/ And it got me to thinking about my OWN relationships with my daughters and my own mom... No fam-lei... My mother was NOT abusive whatsoever... Quite the opposite. But like many of my readers, I, Happy Wife, have suffered abuse at the hands of a parent before.  (A step-father) Had it not been for my mother, I would not have graduated from that "School of Hard Knocks" with such flying colors... She is my HERO in life and I want to pay her homage in this blog posting today. So here's to you MOM... Because it doesn't have to be MOTHER'S DAY to get your flowers... To my kids, she is "Mama T"... But to my husband and I, this is MAMA... Since this is a blog about interracial marriages and relationships, I wanted to first point out t

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

Nightime Revelations | Knowing Your Worth

Press Play to listen to the audio-blog So... This blog post is going to seem more like a rant because my thoughts are racing right now... Bare with me, While I pose a question... Do You Know Your Worth? Like.........  REALLY know your worth? And an even better question? Do you VALUE yourself? Hey fam-lei! Lady XO here! It was recently brought to my attention by the man upstairs; a few revelations that he felt necessary to share with the world... I asked these two questions to start the thought process of deeper self evaluation. So take your time to REALLY THINK about your worth... What are you saying to yourself? Oftentimes, we are harder on ourselves than other people are... You'd think we'd be able to handle any and all criticism and comments on our character because we're our own worst enemy, so what could ANYONE possibly say to us that's worse than what you already say to ourselves??? But we crack... We become bruised by hurtful comments and
