Seriously can’t believe I have a 15-year-old! 😭 Celebrated my favorite son today 🥳 the one who first gave me the title “mom”. He told me it’s still a milestone year cause he will be able to get his learners permit soon 😬 What better way to end our September celebrations marathon than with our first born?! 🥰 He’s technically a freshman in HS now but set a goal to finish early, early and he is on the right track. The older he gets, the more he takes after dad so he was definitely appropriately named. 🤣 Not sure how we went from those last two pics to today 😩 (swipe ⬅️). #holdingon #blackboyjoy #gratefulandthankful

September 17, 2005. After meeting at ages 14 & 15, dating at 18 & 19, we made it official and got married 6.5 years later. 🥂 ⁣17 years down! Through our highs and plateaus, we’ve learned that our marriage is built on choices.⁣ I thank God we continue to choose forever. ⁣ 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 5 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮:⁣ ⁣ SWIPE ⬅️ for details 🥂⁣ ⁣ 𝟭.

Spent the day celebrating our first Princess who officially became a teenager today 😭 So much I could say about @livybellesews: our funny, creative, compassionate, smart, beautiful girl is growing into one remarkable young lady. So blessed to parent this wonderful gift from God. Happy 13th Birthday Livy! 🥳 Mommy & daddy love you to life and can’t wait to see how God works in your life as a teen and beyond. 🙏🏾🙌🏾 Poem 🎤: @kiaraspoems #momsncharge #livybellesews #birthdayblessings #momofgirls #momofteens

This time last weekend, I was teaching a social media workshop to parents at the 6th annual @browngirlsdogymnastics Conference hosted on the campus of @fiskuniversity. What started as an idea by Founder, Derrin Moore, has turned into reality when BGDG started the #HBCUgymnastics initiative. 🙌🏾 This conference allows @brielleflips as a gymnast to train with so many girls that look like her, coached by amazing coaches that look like her, and meet judges and clinicians that look like her. It’s truly a blessing and a unique experience. 🤎 So honored to be a part of the Advisory Council for BGDG and to see the history that @fiskugymnastics is making! This is just the beginning! 🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️ . . . #browngirlsdogymnastics #momsncharge #gymnasticsgirl #becauseofthemwecan #becauseofthemwecan #rememberhername

Something about the last born getting older 😭 This is 1️⃣1️⃣. Also, she will be in middle school 😭 We had cake for breakfast cause, why not? 🤷🏾‍♀️ @brielleflips is so much more than an amazing gymnast (but be sure to give her a follow and check her out 🤸🏾‍♀️). Watching her grow up into the smart, talented, confident and funny (with a side of shade 👀😆) young lady she is becoming is such an honor and a privilege. 💜 The last several weeks have been a lot. And I’m understanding that grief and joy can co-exist. Today is all joy, and I thank God for the blessing of this little lady in our lives. 🙏🏾 The greatest blessing hubby and I have are these young humans God entrusted us to raise. 💜 #momsncharge #birthdayblessings #brielleflips #blessedmom #blessedmomma #gymnastmom #lastborn

🗣 Happy Pub Day @luvvie! 📕🙌🏾🎉💃🏾 As soon as she dropped the link to pre-order copies of ‘Rising Troublemaker’ I reserved a copy for Jr (with the intention of passing it down to the girls). Read the first 2 books so this was a no-brainer! 💯 As someone who grew up painfully shy, and scared to use my voice, I’ve been very intentional of not passing that on to my own children. Thankfully they are far beyond where I was at their ages. But I know this book will catapult them even further!!! So, thank you Luvvie, for creating this fear-fighter manual for our teens cause they need it (heck, those of us raising them need it 😆). And THANK YOU for this dope box! 🙌🏾 Be sure to head over to risingtroublemaker.com to grab a copy for that 2022 grad 🎓 in your life you haven’t gotten a gift for yet. 👀😉 #risingtroublemaker #luvvie #happypubday #fearfighter #giftsforteens #homeschoolmoms #booksforteens

Blessed beyond measure. 🥺 I don’t carry the title of “Mom” lightly. I cherish it to the fullest. I feel blessed in every way. 🙏🏾 Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures in your lives. And to all those that carry her in your heart 💜 #memoriesthatlastalifetime #blessedandgrateful

I don’t know what “this” is for you. But I want to send some light your way & a reminder that whatever “this” is, you got it 👊🏾 Celebrating another year of life reminded me that “I got this.” 🙏🏾Learning new things, pushing through challenges, and aborting my comfort zone (even more) are the goals. 🎯 Thank you for all the birthday wishes 🤗 Mompreneurs: If you’re a new social media manager or content creator, I would love to connect with you.
