Last week I had the amazing honor of helping give out hundred’s of Turkeys on the West Side of Chicago with the Black McDonald’s Operators Association (BMOA)! I arrived around 6:30am (which is VERY early for this girl) at the McDonald’s located 5105 W. Madison and saw a long line of people warmly dressed patiently…
Being a mom in these parenting streets is HARD! You want to have the perfect home, spacious car(s), a wonderful husband, amazing kids, dream vacations and the bomb job or business. That’s all awesome and it sounds like heaven on earth, but that’s not life. We try to sell the fake life version to our…
This time last week I was in the sun with my shades on and the mountains as my background. I was in sunny San Diego with the wonderful people of Kia. It was pretty fantastic and I still can’t believe it now. See I made a bucket list and a vision board earlier this year…

We made it y’all! Millions didn’t make it, but we did. I’m so thankful and blessed to see 2018. I learned so much in 2017. In 2018 I have set a few personal goals to conquer, but most importantly I want to be better than I was last year. I have seen my growth and…
Being a mom is pretty hard work. There are no off days…well Mother’s Day may count as one, but not really. You are the chef, maid, taxi driver, and so much more! “Mom this…” and “Mom that…” It gets tiring and frustrating. My grandma use to tell me all the time you can’t pour from…
Middle School Blues Ugh. I hate being that emotional mom. The one waving their goodbyes with a Kleenex in hand and blood shot eyes. But guess what guys? I just cried. Yes, a real cry. My oldest baby is going to middle school. Where has time gone? We were just talking him to 1st grade…
I voted. Instagramed my voting sticker. Facebooked a few inspiring posts to get my peers to participate in the election as well. I smiled so big when I picked my 9 year old son up from school and told him that I “rocked the vote!” He was upset I went without him, but I told…
