Quality time with my boo @simone_gainey is always

Quality time with my boo @simone_gainey is always a great time. You never know the type of lasting friendships you can spark by complimenting a girl on her shoes in summer school.

We tried @joeyuptownrestaurant for the first time, and it did not disappoint. Everything we had was amazing, and to top it off, the vibe of the restaurant was so serene. I highly recommend you try the fried cauliflower. I promise it tastes like I was eating a well seasoned nugget.

My birthday recap is a little delayed, but I'm sup

My birthday recap is a little delayed, but I'm super blessed. I have been ripping and running, juggling the kids, their sports, meal planning 🥴, laundry lawd (why do they change clothes so much), Struggle Cook Mr.'s new job schedule, running a photography business, trying to keep these plants alive, planning my Boo's Bridal Jamboree, home workouts, on top of working my Marketing Communications job... Needless to say, your girl is tired. This year, for my birthday, I wanted to be intentional with putting myself first. IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. I celebrated my nephew for the first half of the day and the rest of the day I spent at the spa. I got the most relaxing massage ever and a facial that left my skin feeling bright, moisturized, and tight from @milkandhoneyspa - My Mom joined me at the spa and we ended the night with drinks and crab fingers 🤗 - The Mr. and the kids treated me to crawfish (raise your hand if you can eat 5lbs by yourself 👋🏽).

I truly enjoyed my bday weekend, and I appreciate all of the calls, DMs, and texts wishing me a Happy Birthday. May Babies are the best 😉

Thank you, @nuepps, for treating me to some early birthday fun at @scottgertnersrhythmroom last night. The night was an entire vibe, eating amazing food, laughing, dancing, and just having a great time on a school night 😝 Thank you for always reminding me to have balance in life. Yes, we're Mom's and Wives, but before we became that, we were just our silly selves tootsie rolling in our college apartment and having break, break downs in the kitchen with pop tarts 🤣 and Sky Blues. I love you, Roommate, and thank you for loving me and supporting me in whatever I do. Put your finger in the air like CeLo says, cause you da ONE!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate my Drew's 4th birthday. It's hard to believe this little premie is now so big, full of personality, and SOMETIMES is my sweet baby. If you know him, you know that he can be full on Sour Patch Kid. You know the commercial, first they're sour, then they're sweet 🥴

Thank you to the good people at @chuckecheese
for having the pizza piping hot and for being so nice. My Mom had a big full of tickets from before the panorama, and they redeemed them for us. Growing up, my cousins and I would love to go to Chuck E. Cheese to just jump around in the ball pit! Those were good times.

Happy Easter Struggle Cooks! I did a small brunch

Happy Easter Struggle Cooks! I did a small brunch and a quick egg hunt and now the kids are candy wasted.

***I know that my birthday was in May but you're still going to get this video.

I had a blast at my birthday surprise. God has really blessed me with some super AMAZING people that love, support + care for me. My little sister @nurse_carii got with Struggle Cook Mr. and our Mom to throw me a surprise birthday party, the day after her son's 1st birthday party (She loves me.) Being a Mom + Wife is great but sometimes you can get lost in just those roles. I just wanted to be with my girls to laugh, dance and have a great time without worrying about taking someone to the potty 🥴.

THANK YOU to everyone that attended and helped with this surprise! I love you guys so much.

@imagesbypapillon (my Goal Friend; she keeps me in line) on capturing the memories via video + photo.

Also, I got a really talented circle ya'll so let me know if you need a dependable home contractor, a dentist for your kids, a nanny, breast cancer advocate, event planner, realtor in Louisiana, executive assistant, the list goes on!
