Planning a trip to New Jersey with kids and wondering where to go and what to do? Well, I’ve got you covered! Our family of 6 just went here and had the best time. In fact, it was our first roadtrip as a family of 6. There is so much to do in New Jersey, so we couldn’t get to everything, but here’s a round up of all the things we did, helpful tips for planning travel with multiple children, and more…
Read MoreLast year, I set out to read 12 books in 12 months. And guess what?! I reached my goal (partly in thanks to Audible)! Talk about proud! It’s another reminder that when you focus and decide that you want something, you can do anything. Here’s a round up of what I read and why I loved it. I also shared links of where you can get each book on sale.
Read MoreI went to Curacao 2 months ago, and it was absolutely amazing! I was afforded the opportunity to travel to this beautiful country with Significant Impact and served as the panel moderator for their Women’s Wellness Weekend. A time was had time, and I was just reminded of this as I saw some of the same women I traveled with this past weekend at The Momference. Aside from the joy of fun in the sun, my trip reaffirmed 4 important things.
Read MoreAs glow getters, we desire to remain committed to achieving our goals. One thing that happens occasionally though in our quest to achieve a new goal is we forget the path that led to achieving goals we’ve crushed in the past. It’s so important to keep your ‘receipts’ to help motivate you and remind you that you’ve achieved goals before, so you can do it again! No matter what your next goal is, I’ve shared 5 steps to help you along, just like they have helped me consistently.
Read MoreMotherhood is a role that requires the most out of us, but gives the greatest rewards! While there is no manual for motherhood, we always find our way, day by day, so cheers to you mama!

Read MoreMother’s Day is almost here, so that calls for a gift guide for everyone who is still on the hunt for gifts. I work well under pressure I like to say lol. However, let’s not push the limits y’all. If you’e planning to grab items this weekend like me, here’s a round up of gift ideas that you can gift yourself, your mom, or any other mothers you want to love on. Best of all, my curated list is concise and I considered various budgets. So get into the goods below…
Read MoreLet’s talk about accountability partnership — something I have hugely benefited from and know you will, too. I have had accountability partners for business goals and an accountability group for financial goals, and in both instances, it has been the BEST decision. Today, I’m going to break down why everyone needs an accountability partner.
Read MoreIf there is one city I love, it’s New Orleans! This was my 4th trip to the Big Easy, and this time I went for work, but I didn’t let that stop me from having fun and of course eating really good. If you’ve never been to New Orleans, definitely add it to your list. The culture, the vibes, and again THE FOOD, all superior! Here’s a round up of New Orleans’ restaurants that you are sure to enjoy, plus a list of other recommended restaurants that I hope to try during my next visit.
Read MorePlanning a trip to NYC with kids and wondering where to go and what to do? Well, I’ve got you covered! I surprised my daughter Cassidy with a trip to NYC for her 9th birthday, and we both had the best time. It was a mommy and me weekend that was one to remember. There is so much to do in NYC, and we only had 32 hours, so I broke our 2 days into 2 themes. Day 1 was all about Fun & Food, and Day 2 was all about Shopping & Site Seeing. Here’s a round up of all the things we did, helpful tips for planning, and things we saved for our next trip…
Read MoreThere’s a productivity tool I'm loving, and best of all, it’s right on my iPhone. If you’re anything like me, you probably use the Notes app on your phone a lot. It truly lives up to its name by being a great place to store notes. For the past several months, I’ve been obsessed with the checklist feature within Notes. The checklist feature has allowed me to create my to do lists and a variety of checklists right on my phone. See how it works…
Read MoreI don't know who needs to hear this, but you deserve your flowers sis! Whether others are giving them to you or not, I hope you are giving them to yourself.
Read MoreIf there is one thing my family loves, it’s a good home cooked meal. Needless to say, my spice cabinet is stocked. I was recently introduced to Shawhan Farms’ extensive collection of seasonings, and I’m loving them so far! Check out this delicious short ribs recipe using their Buck’s Spicy and Sweet BBQ seasoning.
Read MoreEarlier this week, we talked about personal goals, so now let’s shift gears to our professional goals. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail, and 2023 is our Jordan year, so we are planning to win glow getters! With that said, you must identify your focus. In order to win, you have to be focused. Here’s you how you execute on your professional goals…
Read MoreAlright glow getters, let’s talk about our 2023 goals! I know that January and sometimes even February are reset months, but now that we’re in March, it’s time to start taking action on some of our goals for the year. When it’s comes to goal planning and execution, I like to follow the SMART criteria — Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Now, I’ve previously talked about goal planning, but today I want to talk about goal categories.
Read MoreSo what do you mean by 25 Days of Christmas you may be saying. Don’t get overwhelmed. I’m not saying give gifts and spend a bunch of money for 25 days in a row. I’m actually saying the exact opposite. I’m advocating for intentional and fun things to do with and/or for your kids (or yourself) that can be low or no cost. Here’s how it works…
Read MorePasta lovers, this one’s for you! I asked my husband recently what he wanted for dinner, and he suggested I try some type of pasta. The minute he said pasta, I immediately thought of Cheesecake Factory’s Louisiana Chicken Pasta, which I absolutely love. While I didn’t make a copycat version of that, I did pull a few ingredients from it to make a bowtie pasta of my own. Spoiler alert - it was a hit with my whole family!
Read MoreEarlier this year, I watched the King Richard movie starring Will Smith, which is based on the story of Venus and Serena Williams' rise to tennis stardom, with the help of their father. If you haven't seen the movie, definitely watch it. I was sooooo inspired by it y'all. I had so many takeaways from the movie, and here are a few of them (they won't spoil the whole movie, I promise)…
Read MoreI first learned about Basic Invite a few years ago during my time as a wedding planner. They have a card for almost every major life moment including weddings, showers, birth announcements, first birthdays, graduations and more. Basic Invite also has a wide array of holiday cards, as well. I can’t believe the holiday season is almost here. With our 2 additions to the family, I’m really excited to send out season’s greetings this year from my family of 6 by way of holiday cards. Now, let’s get into all that Basic Invite has to offer…
Read MoreToday, I want to remind you that delay is not denial! We often hear this in relation to keeping hope alive for dreams that have yet to come to past. I had another revelation regarding delays this past Spring. Have you ever had something on your to do list for a long while that for some reason you couldn't get to as soon as you'd hoped? I'm sure we've all been there. We are often managing and balancing so many different things simultaneously. This makes it nearly impossible to conquer everything on our to do list in 1 day. Sometimes things get shifted to the next day, week, month, or in some cases the next year. This shifting and delaying is not always the result of too many things on our list, or laziness or fear (although sometimes it is). I realized that this delaying could possibly be God's way of holding off some things for when we will really need them or when things can prosper. Here's 2 examples of this that happened to me in May…
