I never wore sunscreen a day in my life growing up. Not once. Because nobody told me I needed to. And honestly? I believed it. So when I took my girls tubing I decided we were going to test three sunscreens on our actual melanin skin in real time — because not all sunscreen is created equal a

As a mom, one of the greatest gifts I can give my kids is my time. Before Andre left for the U.S. Army, we checked something off all of our bucket lists together—a 9-hour deep sea fishing trip out of Cape Canaveral. We boarded at 7:30 a.m., traveled nearly two hours into the Atlantic, and spent

3 days. My son is about to leave for the United States Army in 3 days and when I asked him what he wanted — he didn’t ask for a party. Didn’t ask for a trip. Didn’t ask for anything money could buy. He asked for Grandma’s table. Baked macaroni and cheese. Smothered turkey. Red beans. White

This was so hard to post, my heart hurts ❤️ Today’s left definitely getting real on this day. I booked a first time, once in a lifetime experience for myself and my sons. Deep sea fishing off the coast of Florida for an 8 hr. fishing trip. #fishing #deepsea #mom #son #countdown @DR3

Tonight wasn’t just about seeing Toy Story 5. With only 5 days left before my oldest ships off to the Army, we’re saying “yes” to every chance we get to be together. No matter how simple it is. Movie nights. Late-night laughs. Matching blankets. Popcorn. One more memory. Because one d

6 days. ⏰ In 6 days I drop off the first person I ever loved at a bus that takes him somewhere I can’t follow. But today? Today we ran every errand, forgot half the list, laughed the whole time, and I tried really hard not to think about the fact that this is almost over. Andre. Hailey. Me

Dad, Today my kids handed you cards, and I watched you read them — and I want you to know what that moment meant to me. I am a single mother of five. There are three fathers who have walked away and left me to carry this entirely on my own. But here’s what they don’t know, and what I want the

She didn’t have to ask me twice. She didn’t even have to ask me once. Natural hair takes patience. So does motherhood. So does womanhood. Sometimes the most nurturing thing you can do for someone you love is just show up — no instructions needed. I spent years in a marriage where asking for h

FIFA fever has officially taken over our backyard. ⚽️ As a mom of five, I’m always looking for ways to make summer fun without leaving the house, and this Soccer Movie Night was a HUGE hit. My sister and I turned the backyard into our own little World Cup watch party with snacks, soccer vibes, a

She didn’t come with a manual. None of them do. But somewhere between the sleepless nights, the hard conversations, the lessons at the kitchen table, and doing this completely alone — she became her. My daughter started her first job today. 15 years old. Showing up. Clocking in. Earning her o

At the end of every school year, I try to give my kids something they’ll actually use and enjoy. This year, he wanted fishing gear. A promise is a promise. ❤️ Sometimes the gift isn’t the fishing pole—it’s knowing someone kept their word. #fishing #walmart #shopping #son @Chevrole

Doing makeup as a Black girl is different. Not because we’re difficult. Not because we’re picky. But because for years we learned how to mix, blend, layer, and create what the beauty industry forgot to make for us. Every perfect shade match, every laid edge, every technique passed from on

3:00 AM. Half asleep. First solo trip ever. 😅 Somehow I left Orlando, trusted my village with all 5 kids, survived a red-eye flight, and made it to Washington, DC for Trending Up 2026 at the Salamander Hotel. If you would’ve told me a few years ago that this single mom of five would be travel
