Like Nike said...just do it.

Yes, it’s scary.
Yes, it’s nerve racking.
Yes, you may fail; but what do you do when you get back up? Brush your shoulders off and get back to work!!

❤️ Riley will be 4 in 4 days!!! 😢

** quickly wipes tears**

I really cannot believe I’ll have a 4 YEAR OLD!

As if you don’t know this, Riley is the light of my life and literally my mini me.

I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a good thing or not.🤣

Joking.

In honor of Riley’s birthday, here are a few fun facts about Riley Jo:

👧🏾 Riley is a COMPLETE JOKESTER! She once took my AirPods out the holder and put grapes in. She then asked me where my AirPods were.🙄🤣 Clearly she can’t hold water!!
👧🏾 She absolutely HATES pants. If it were up to her, she would wear dresses and heels everyday and everywhere!
👧🏾She loves to travel! Every time we see an Eiffel Tower, she gets so excited and tells me we need to go Paris soon.
I concur!! It’s so dreamy!
👧🏾She loves cheese 🧀! But not just cheddar, she loves feta, blue cheese, and even Gorgonzola! I love cheese too!

What do you have in common with Riley Jo?!

“Strange isn’t it?

You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn’t even lived one second of your life. The world is filled with people who think they know you. Listen to one one else’s voice but yours and the one who creates you.”

@adriennebailon ,

Thank you for one of the best captions of 2021. 🙏🏾

Is this still a no judgement zone?! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

Okaaaay. Let’s talk guilty pleasures.🥴

Yall. I have a weird obsession with getting my nails and feet done. This particular style is 100% acrylic flowers and it took about 3 hours. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I didn’t even know I had it in me, but it was right after “the VID” hit and I wanted something that would last and be stylish for a while. It lasted almost two months by the way!!

Nail Designer: @nailsbytracy2018

What’s your guilty pleasure?! Comment below, save this design if you like it, and like of course.🙌🏾💁🏾‍♀️

Dear Texans, We survived; as we have survived so

Dear Texans,

We survived; as we have survived so much within the past ten years. If you’re currently breathing, thank God.

Pray for those who’ve lost their lives over the past week.

I know it’s hard, but smile.

Even if your home isn’t in the same condition you left it; smile.

Even if you were without lights this week; smile.

Even if you were without water this week; smile.

It’s so crazy how we take the small things for granted.

Life. Life itself. Is the most important thing we could value.

Thank you God for LIFE!

Happy Valentine’s Day to my love ❤️!

Growing up my mom would always buy me a Valentine’s Day basket full of goodies! Some of those goodies includes GRANNY PANTIES!🥴

These panties were always oversized, like how big do you think my butt really is?! Any who, I had to pass on the tradition minus the oversized panties.🥰❤️🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

What’s the most embarrassing thing your mom has bought for you?! Comment below!!😫🤦🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

🤔 What the heck was I thinking???🤣🤣

What I Was Thinking:

1. I love YOGA 🧘🏾‍♀️
2. I love the outdoors 🌿🌵🌴
3. I’ve never done GOAT YOGA, so what the heck?! 🤣🤣

Y’all know I’m here for a new experience, but just to warn you...THESE GOATS ARE HEAVY!🤦🏾‍♀️

The yoga session was great, but honestly I couldn’t really focus with a goat on my back. Overall, the experience was FUN we all just laughed as we tried to take the downward dog as serious as possible while balancing ‘Heavy D’ over here! Lol!

Get you a girl that can do both!👷🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️💅🏾

As a Construction Project Manager, I (weirdly enough) LOVE MY JOB! From planning a project’s schedule and budget, to meeting my subs and/or GC onsite; it all makes me happy!

Buuuuut...being a black woman in this field can being trying and interesting at times to say the least!

Luckily, I was raised by a bunch of bomb women who are very headstrong and determined to succeed; so it’s basically in my blood 🩸!

✨Comment below! ✨What field is work are you in?! How much do you love your job?!

⛱ Weekend Day Trips⛱

📍 124 West Texas Avenue - Baytown, Texas

Riley and I were laying in bed this morning scrolling when we stumbled across this awesome art installation in Baytown! So, we jumped in the car and here we are!

There’s talk that it may go away this year, so make sure you check it out soon!

Aren’t these umbrellas giving you Havana, Cuba vibes?! I can’t wait to take another trip out of this country!

Last, but certainly not least, thank you Target for the black history shirts!!

#TBT I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since we took this photo! I was so determined to make these shirts that I literally stayed up until 4:00 a.m. to finish them!🥴😏

I started making our clothes because I just couldn’t find creative mommy and mini outfits!

TAG YOUR FAVORITE MOMMY AND MINI DESIGNER OR COMPANY!! ❤️

Happy Sunday my loves!!

Is anyone else weirdly happy today? I woke up thinking about all of my blessings and new opportunities that are quickly approaching and I’m just so GEEKED!

I love it when God gives you things you didn’t even think you needed nor did you ask for!! ✨🙌🏾🤗

“Lord, your ways are perfect, and your timing is

“Lord, your ways are perfect, and your timing is pristine. Create in me a desire to see in the realm of the unseen. And equip me to trust and act upon your instruction regardless of opinion or conditions. AMEN”

This devotional book by @marshawnevans is EVERYTHING!

Every night before I go to bed, I read my devotional and not only does it help me sleep better at night, but the first section is on TRUST and that’s exactly where I needed to start!

Thank you God for never taking your hands off of me!

I highly recommend this devotional to you all! If you have it, comment below and let me know what you think!🙏🏾❤️

Y’all.

I had a mini moment earlier. I ran out of @healthade and I was on my way to a meeting.🥴

Not a good mix. Luckily, my kombucha is in stores like Kroger, Aldi, and even my favorite SPROUTS!

Problem solved.🙏🏾❤️🤣

There’s something about staycation away from all the craziness. If you’re thinking of a staycation, I highly recommend @hotelvanzandt in Austin.

My stay was nothing short of amazing! The service was superb, the food was to die for (specifically the sweet potato fries), and the views were breathtaking. I couldn’t believe I was only in Austin!
