The Dark Side of Ego + Influence
The Dark Side of Ego + Influence

We live in a digital age, that is not going to change anytime soon. I always say it's hard to be the first to do things because you are guaranteed to make mistakes and people are very quick to judge the steps you take while being able to learn from what you've done. If you would have told me 10-15 years ago that people could make a living from being an "influencer" I would have said you were lying. The truth is that only movie stars and those in the entertainment business had the option of being an influencer but now anyone with a camera can share their voice and story thanks t blogs, youtube etc.

Diffuser Blends All Moms Need In Their Arsenal For Cold Season

If you have a child in the school system you KNOW how their little immune systems can fail them. A barrage of germs every day means that they will share the love with the family back home.

Soundtrack to my 2018

I’ve been blogging since 2013, and I love looking back and seeing my growth and also the things I am still working on. This year has been a whirlwind, and when I look back at the pictures, I am still in awe at how our little family survived the hard times, laughed at the great times and learned from the challenges. Ten songs have been on rotation for me all year. I want to share with you my journey through the year by song.

5 Disney Inspired Stores that you need to be shopping at!

I am always on the lookout for cute stores that have Disney inspired clothing, ears, blankets, etc. There is something about cuddling up with a blanket of our favorite character and looking at the movie that is just so sweet. I also love doing photo shoots with babies and toddler wearing their ears surrounded by their (ok really their parents if they are babies lol) favorite characters.

I can remember as a kid spending the night at friends homes and while all the other little girls would play in makeup I would be flipping through the pages of Ebony, Vogue, Essence, People etc to look at the FASHION!

Fashion is personal so even if you end up on someone worse dress list, it was how you felt in the moment and its a snapshot of time.

A Father Isn't A Babysitter, He Is A Parent.

No one is EVER on men's pages or asking them who is watching their kid when they are out and about alone. Women are more than mothers; we have lives and an identity that encompasses more than just the mother title. When a father steps up and helps with raising his children that gives mom a break to go after her dreams and aspirations which in turn makes her happy. A happy spouse makes for a happy house(children included)
