In between the 500 Hot Wheels and randomly watchin In between the 500 Hot Wheels and randomly watching car shows, it’s safe to say Axel is a “car guy” through and through! 75% of our conversations is about cars. It will be very interesting to see what he grows up to be. 😂 🏎️💨 #motherhoodunfiltered #boymomlife #thecarguy #mommemes #parentingmeme

A year of growth, grounding, and choosing what mattered most. Grateful for the quiet chapters, travel adventures, and time spent with family and friends. Excited for what’s to come this year!

Hello there, and Happy New Year! 👋🏾😅 I seriously Hello there, and Happy New Year! 👋🏾😅 

I seriously almost shut this thang down, but my mama didn’t raise no quitter! lol 😤🤣

No, but for real, I wasn’t sure if it was even worth me giving it a try again. Life got extremely busy and didn’t think I could fit it in, nor that I could produce good enough content. But I truly did miss it and want to give it another shot. So, this is me choosing joy, creativity, and starting again — in a way that fits this season. I look forward to connecting with you all again! 🥰🤍

I true fashion, of course I waited until the last I true fashion, of course I waited until the last minute to figure out what to do with my nails, and how I was going to coordinate them with my outfit for the concert.😅 Thank goodness I found these cute @salonperfect press on nails in my stash! They ended up matching perfectly! 😍🙌🏾

From B herself, the beautiful visuals, the stunning costumes, Jay Z performing, and Miss Blue Ivy dancing, that was a beautifully done show! It was absolutely amazing, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Had the absolute best time with my girls, @tierraroielle_  and @kiamarieantoinette, watching the show. 🥰❤️

Life lately…🏝️☀️🐶🎓⚾️🫧🥰🕊️ The past couple of month Life lately…🏝️☀️🐶🎓⚾️🫧🥰🕊️

The past couple of months, that I have been MIA, have been a blur. They aren’t kidding when they say the month of May is just December in a bikini.😅 lol From school-themed weeks, birthdays, graduations, Mother’s Day, and more, I was beyond burned out. My whole household was. So, we took a much-needed family vacation to Cancun at the end of the month, and we had a great time! Axel met a new friend, whose name was Axel too! We had the best time hanging out with him and his parents at the beach and pool. 

June was quite chaotic as well. An emotional one for sure. It has been one ever since my sister passed, to be honest. This year marked 2 years, and it still hurts the same. And it’s so hard to grieve properly when you have littles.

The state of the world right now is in shambles, and the lack of empathy and compassion amongst humanity is unnerving. I have to limit how much news I consume so I don’t slip into a depressive episode. Though I want to stay informed as much possible, I have to do what’s best for me so I can show up for my family the best way I can. 

And then there’s work and summer break.🫠 Working from home in a neurospicy household is an Olympic sport.😂 Axel is sensory-seeking all day, no matter how many activities or snacks I give him, while I’m getting overstimulated by the minute, and can’t stay focused on work to save my life! Which is the worst when you have a ton of work to do, a bunch of marketing calls to prepare for Q3, and desperately want to get back to creating content and other hobbies.

But in between the chaos, we’ve made time to sprinkle in some fun here and there. We took a great family vacay, went to a couple of Braves games, had a cute dinner date with my girls, and a fun night out on the town with some friends. So, while I’m still stressed to the max, my heart is full and content. Plus, I have lots of fun things to look forward to this month, and then getting Axel ready for kindergarten!🥹

I’m not going to make any promises, but hopefully you’ll see more of me on your feed this month and in the future.❤️

Happy Mother’s Day! It has been a long busy day, b Happy Mother’s Day! It has been a long busy day, but filled with lots of love. I hope you all had a great one! 🥰💐
Because why? 😅😂🤣😭 I’m in my office and hear a bun Because why? 😅😂🤣😭

I’m in my office and hear a bunch of noise so I peeked around the corner to find Axel doing his stuntman activities per usual. If you know Axel personally, you know this is my wild child in a nutshell, from sun up to sun down! 

The original footage is in my stories. I was about to fuss at him for being on the dog bed in his nice PJs but he had me cackling in the corner! I was trying so hard not to laugh! He cracks me up with his silly little self! 😅😂🤣
