Convenient style is my favorite!

#ruggablepartner I've been looking for easy ways to spruce up my living room decor, and @ruggable has added the perfect touch.

I absolutely love the way my new rug adds warmth and style to my space, but I love the details even more! This machine washable rug is spill proof, and stain resistant, making it a great choice for any mama! The designs are interchangeable, and the rug is slip proof and super easy to install.

⁣Strutting Into The Weekend! ⠀

This week was SO good to me! I celebrated another year of life, organized my home, spent time with family and friends, and took lots of naps. ⠀
⠀
It was the recharge I absolutely needed to finish out the year strong. Now I’m closing out the weekend with a bang! ⠀

How’s your week been? What are you up to this weekend?

Let’s normalize having careers!

The other day I got asked why I don’t pursue influencing full time. In all honesty, I don’t want to. Though I considered it at a time, I absolutely love my career and feel like I’m able to balance both roles gracefully.

Being an entrepreneur and a career woman brings its challenges, but also provides me so many rewards. Let’s normalize people choosing their own paths!

If you had to choose what would it be? Career or entrepreneurship?

Happy 35th Birthday To Me!! Words can’t d

Happy 35th Birthday To Me!!

Words can’t describe the gratitude I have today! Last year I asked God to blow my mind. My whole life changed in a year! It’s funny that you can go for so long just being alive, and then one day you wake up and decide to live!

This year my wish is to walk in my purpose, live unapologetically, and to be the light the world needs.

Do it like it’s my bday BAYBEE!

Homeownership hits different! One year ago

Homeownership hits different!

One year ago I stood on this door step as I became a first time homeowner. I still get emotional when I walk through this very door.

I think back to growing up when my family was living in extended stay hotels, not really knowing what was next. I didn’t know how I’d get here, but I knew I was determined to.

I’m living so many of my former prayers and I’m just so grateful. I’m setting the example for my girl that nothing is out of her reach, nor mine.

As we begin a new month, remember that no goal is too big!

Swipe for some inspiration and share one of your goals for the month with me!

Every time I look at my daughter, I see God’s love for me.

Motherhood is the journey that has saved me, taught me so much, and changed my whole life.

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect daughter. Kalyn is my mirror, and though raising myself isn’t easy, it’s such a blast!

Happy #nationaldaughtersday to my very best friend. I love you beyond words Mini! 💕

I’ve made it through my first month as an Assistant Principal!

With one month down, I’m using this weekend to unwind and celebrate my accomplishments over the past month.

Being a career, business, and motherhood focused woman isn’t always the easiest task but this new role is teaching me things that apply to every bit of my life.

1. I’ve learned that I’ve though I can do it all, I don’t have to. I’m creating a team to support me in both work and personal life.

2. Boundaries are key. I keep a healthy balance of work and family time. Still trying to squeeze in time for just me!

3. Faith over fear. A year ago, I couldn’t picture myself here. Now, I know this was meant for me.

4. In work and in life, being a servant brings me so much joy. Nothing is better than positively impacting the lives of other people.

5. Covid is real. Wear. Your. Masks. Bonus: don’t send sick kids to school.

What are y’all up to this weekend? Share some me-time suggestions with me!

Hey y’all, it’s almost Fall!

Happy September! I woke up this morning and made up my mind that it’s time for pumpkin spice, deep colors, and Ugg boots. Y’all ready??

As my favorite season approaches, I’m closing out the current one reflecting on the goals I set for myself. Summer was full of surprises and even though I didn’t accomplish everything I thought I wanted to, I was blessed with so much more than I ever imagined. I’m grateful!

Cheers to a new month and the approach of a new season. What goals do you have this month?

Happy FRIYAY!

A little brain dump on this beautiful evening:

-Educators could never get paid enough.
-Moms too should be millionaires.
-The weekend should five days.
-I’m really proud of myself as a new assistant principal during a pandemic.
-I hope this weekend involves getting cute and going out to eat. It’s my absolute favorite thing to do.

New week, new inspiration!

We’re week three into the school year and I’m incredibly amazed by Kalyn’s transition to first. While I had so much anxiety about her return to school, she has proven her resilience time and time again.

That’s the beauty of children. They teach us so much. She’s taught me to remain calm in uncertain situations, to be present in the moment and enjoy the ride, and to find joy in new beginnings. I’m just so proud of my girl! She is truly my inspiration.

Have your children returned to in person learning? How are they adjusting?

Only outside because I’m not wasting any more of these summer looks!

I’m squeezing in all the looks while slowly preparing for my favorite fashion season: fall!

I’m in the process of building a capsule wardrobe and can’t wait to show you all how I’m maximizing my closet and revamping my own personal style.

Are you team fall or summer fashion?

Imagine the life you want and then chase it relent

Imagine the life you want and then chase it relentlessly.

It worked for me, but it didn’t happen over night. Here’s what I did:

1. Created a vision board that listed every spiritual, personal, and financial goal I wanted to achieve.
2. Created a check list of attainable steps for each goal.
3. Created a network of people with similar mindsets to support one another.
4. Showed up everyday and worked my behind off!
5. Released all control to God and let him have his way!

Monday is the perfect time for goal setting! What’s one small goal you have this week?
