Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This year, my sister

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! This year, my sister and I traded out the traditional Mac and Cheese, dressing, and turkey for a whole Fiesta! We had nachos, beans, soft tacos, fried tacos, fajita chicken, beef and shrimp, enchiladas, Mexican rice, cilantro lime rice, and roasted corn. And all the fixings with the sauces, picos, lettuce, and more. Our Thanksgiving Fiesta was a success, even though we were missing a few. @classicallycarii
I'm ready for Gumbo on Christmas at YOUR house 😝.

30-second reels have me in a chokehold 🥴 Mommie don't like, as Drew would say.

Shout out to @amazon for having the cute decor items on deck at all time for my theme. NO, THIS IS NOT AN ADD BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN OPPORTUNITY, I'M OPEN 🤗

I attended the @hotalinginsuranceservices Grand Op

I attended the @hotalinginsuranceservices Grand Opening last week and had a blast with my BFF @nuepps 💚 I love my family, and I love hanging out with my friends. I can do both. I have been trying to work on that balance for the past couple of months. Nu and I have a standing monthly friend catch-up date. Even if we just hit up the Waffle House for the All-Star Special (I could use a Waffle and hashbrowns now 🤔). We make it a point to hang out without our family to laugh and cut up because it's a form of self care, baby!
.
Also, if by chance you or your business needs insurance, contact Hotaling and tell them that I sent you. I may or may not 🤞🏾 get a little kick back.

We tried our hand at @kurasushi_usa - the revolvin

We tried our hand at @kurasushi_usa - the revolving sushi bar for dinner the other night, and the kids loved it. There was a robot that brought our drinks to the table. Besides the revolving sushi of everything on the menu, you could order specialty items that would stop at your table. There was a slot in the table to put your plates that calculated your bill based on the size and color of the plate. Pretty cool experience overall for our #DinnerStruggles

We just got back from a much needed vacation, and

We just got back from a much needed vacation, and our first ever @carnival cruise. Carnival's customer service was like being at Chick-fil-A for 5 days. Everyone was so nice, extremely helpful, and seemed to really enjoy their job regardless of the position.

Our first day and a half on the ship was extremely rainy, but the naps on the water had Mark and I almost in a coma. Cruise sleep is some GOOD sleep!

Clark and Shane LOVED the kids club! They both acted like they were too old and too "cool" to go, but once they went...They did not want to leave.

We got to catch 4 comedy shows, each time with different material, and some of the shows were kid friendly a little.🤣 I had real churros in Cozumel, snorkeled a little (Clark and Shane mostly, but I tried for like 20 minutes 🤷🏽‍♀️), kayaking and jet skiing.
.
Shout out to cruise vets @cdsutton + @nuepps for helping me pack with triple checklist and for conveniening me to still go and enjoy the cruise even though Drew couldn't make it. Huge THANK YOU to my Mom and God Mother for stepping in and watching and entertaining Drew while we were cruising. We missed his little "active" self, but it was great to not hear a dinosaur roar loud in your ear all day and just take a nap 🥴

Cruising again for sure in the future! You can't beat a trip with food, room, and entertainment for a family of 5 for $1,800. No ad, just speaking facts. But if you're feeling generous Carnival, holla at your girl. 😏 #cruiselife #carnival #carnivalcruise #carnivalbreeze #vacation #familyvacation #momofboys

You love your family, have the time of your life with your friends, not afraid to be your true self, you sets goals and make them, your business @clarksbestlemonade is continuing to thrive, you dance when the beat drops no matter where you are and you give mommy the best back scratches.

Shout out to the best Auntie a kid could have @classicallycarii . Thank you for planning this day, having my back, surprising him for lunch, and making sure he felt special. @wjudson13 thank you for always being there and being a great Uncle. @boss_donleesace thank you for always encouraging him about basketball and making sure he's putting in that work to be the best at whatever he does.

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 😉
