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.

Year 40. Happy Birthday to me. I am so blessed and Year 40. Happy Birthday to me. I am so blessed and I intend to go after everything my heart desires this year. I'm cherishing family, friends and relationships. I want to do a girls trip to Bali and put self care first this year. 
.
I have to be honest, I wanted a big 90's bash where I would dress as Aaliyah and then change clothes and do a dance number with my friends to What About Your Friends by TLC. But the way this panorama is set up 😒, I'm just blessed to be alive and healthy. I do plan to tootsie roll, do the running man and maybe even the snake and laugh a lot on Sunday at whatever surprise my little sister @nurse_carii is planning.

Happy Mother's Day to all! I would like to give a Happy Mother's Day to all! I would like to give a special shout out to #boymoms because baabbbyyyy they are non-stop. If they are not wrestling (all 3 not just Clark + Drew), eating all the food in the house, slide things under the bathroom door that they feel just can't wait, leaving yellow spots on the toilet 🤢, pulling plants out off your garden 😑, having nerf war every other day and changing clothes 50-11 times making laundry impossible; then you might have girls. I wanted a girl. I wore pink nails and a pink shirt to my ultrasound with Clark to cry when they said it's a boy.
.
I say all of that to say, even though these boys drive me to yearn for a vacation alone, once a week 🥴, God knew what I needed. 
.
Shane ditched his basketball clothes for real clothes for this photo and that's a win in itself. Clark's legs are so long that he's actually flooding slightly but I loosened the waist. And Drew... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Even though we are currently still in a pandemic, I was laid off from my marketing job but my photography business @cnarobertsphoto never wavered. Booked and busy is an understatement. Ya'll ya girl is booking February because January is booked 🙌🏽🙏🏽
.
I've been a real life full-time Mom and entrepreneur and its hard ya'll! Drew kicks my butt every other day ya'll like a real Sour Patch Kid. 🥴
.
We went camping for Clark's 8th birthday. I attempted to be a YouTuber but the video has never seen the light of day 🤷🏽‍♀️ 
.
@clarksbestlemonade has been blowing up the spot!!! We got our largest order from a popular community for Lemonade Day and our lemonade can be purchased on @rosalynshotchicken food truck.

I held my first @strugglecooksunite cooking class and it was a huge success. I even started @huecookieco  and drove to Dallas for the day to take a class from a GOAT @thecookieculture

My little sister birthed the cutest little bundle of joy just in time for my birthday.
.
Lastly, I have the best friends and family in the world. They are supportive and just bomb.com and I can't wait to see how we will flourish in 2021. Blessed that no one in my household has had to experience the Rona. But also saddened that it took my sweet and loving Grand Dad, Edwin Stanfield ❤

In all honesty, our tree has been "up" and empty since Thanksgiving 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm so grateful that God has put some fantastic souls in my life that know that I'm not perfect by any means but they still love me + my kids tremendously. #blessed
Use this time wisely they say. Start a business th Use this time wisely they say. Start a business they say. Learn something new. Well...I kinda did all of the above. I've been practicing for a couple of months now and after encouragement from my circle @nuepps @elleytee  @ms_kris_10 @nurse_carii @imagesbypapillon  @tamidenise and a little bullying from @iamtakiyah  I launched @huecookieco - a cottage based sugar cookie business. Rona's butt is not going anywhere fast and with me being "furloughed" (laid off is really more like it), I needed a little extra income besides photography. Am I a super experienced Cookier? No. I bake a really superb sugar cookie and with each set, I get better and better. I'm happy, my household is safe and thats what matters. Thanks for all of your support. I will be back to posting my struggle cook attempts soon.
